effective date of January 29, 2010, (i.e., 

10 days following the CIT’s ruling). The 

Department will continue the 

suspension of liquidation of the subject 

merchandise pending the expiration of 

the period of appeal or, if appealed, 

pending a final and conclusive court 

decision. In the event the CIT’s ruling is 

not appealed or, if appealed, upheld by 

the CAFC, the Department will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 

assess antidumping duties on entries of 

the subject merchandise during the POR

Certain Lined Paper Products from 

India: Notice of Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On October 7, 2009, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published in the Federal 

Register the preliminary results of the 

antidumping duty administrative review 

for certain lined paper products from 

India (CLPP). See Certain Lined Paper 

Products From India: Notice of 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 

51558 (October 7, 2009) (Preliminary 

Results). This review covers 25 

manufacturers and exporters of the 

subject merchandise.1 As a result of our 

analysis of the comments received, 

these final results differ from the 

Preliminary Results. 

For our final results, we continue to 

find that Navneet and Blue Bird made 

sales of subject merchandise at less than 

normal value (NV). In addition, based 

on the final results for Navneet, we have 

determined a weighted–average margin 

for those companies that were not 

selected for individual review. 

DATES: Effective Date: 

February 22, 2010.

selected companies) and Cindy

3797, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 25, 2008, the 

Department selected Kejriwal and Blue 

Bird as companies to be individually 

examined in this second administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on CLPP from India. See Memorandum 

to Melissa Skinner from George 

McMahon titled ‘‘Certain Lined Paper 

Products from India: Selection of 

Respondents for Individual Review’’ 

(Respondent Selection Memo), dated 

November 25, 2008. On December 22, 

2008, both Kejriwal and petitioner 

timely withdrew their requests for a 

review of Kejriwal. On January 9, 2009, 

after we determined that we would 

rescind the review with respect to 

Kejriwal, we selected Navneet as a 

mandatory respondent. 

On October 7, 2009, the Department 

published the Preliminary Results. As 

noted in the Preliminary Results, Blue 

Bird withheld requested information, 

significantly impeded the proceeding, 

and failed to cooperate to the best of its 

ability. Therefore, pursuant to sections 

776(a)(2)(A) and (C) and 776(b) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

the Department preliminarily 

determined that the use of facts 

available for Blue Bird was appropriate, 

and assigned a rate of 72.96 percent, 

which was based on the highest margin 

preliminarily calculated for Navneet in 

this review. 

Comments from Interested Parties 

We invited parties to comment on our 

Preliminary Results. Case briefs were 

filed November 20, 2009, by Navneet, 

and Blue Bird; November 24, 2009, by 

petitioner; and on November 25, 2009, 

by IScholar, Inc., an importer of subject 

merchandise from respondent Blue 

Bird. On December 4, 2009, petitioner 

and Navneet filed rebuttal briefs. 

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this order includes 

certain lined paper products, typically 

school supplies (for purposes of this 

scope definition, the actual use of or 

labeling these products as school 

supplies or non–school supplies is not 

a defining characteristic) composed of 

or including paper that incorporates 

straight horizontal and/or vertical lines 

on ten or more paper sheets (there shall 

be no minimum page requirement for 

loose leaf filler paper) including but not 

limited to such products as single- and 

multi–subject notebooks, composition 

books, wireless notebooks, loose leaf or 

glued filler paper, graph paper, and 

laboratory notebooks, and with the 

smaller dimension of the paper 

measuring 6 inches to 15 inches 

(inclusive) and the larger dimension of 

the paper measuring 8–3/4 inches to 15 

inches (inclusive). Page dimensions are 

measured size (not advertised, stated, or 

‘‘tear–out’’ size), and are measured as 

they appear in the product (i.e., stitched 

and folded pages in a notebook are 

measured by the size of the page as it 

appears in the notebook page, not the 

size of the unfolded paper). However, 

for measurement purposes, pages with 

tapered or rounded edges shall be 

measured at their longest and widest 

points. Subject lined paper products 

may be loose, packaged or bound using 

any binding method (other than case 

bound through the inclusion of binders 

board, a spine strip, and cover wrap). 

Subject merchandise may or may not 

contain any combination of a front 

cover, a rear cover, and/or backing of 

any composition, regardless of the 

inclusion of images or graphics on the 

cover, backing, or paper. Subject 

merchandise is within the scope of this 

order whether or not the lined paper 

and/or cover are hole punched, drilled, 

perforated, and/or reinforced. Subject 

merchandise may contain accessory or 

informational items including but not 

limited to pockets, tabs, dividers, 

closure devices, index cards, stencils, 

protractors, writing implements, 

reference materials such as 

mathematical tables, or printed items 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
7564 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 34 / Monday, February 22, 2010 / Notices 

such as sticker sheets or miniature 

calendars, if such items are physically 

incorporated, included with, or attached 

to the product, cover and/or backing 

thereto. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

of this order are: 

• unlined copy machine paper; 

• writing pads with a backing (including 

but not limited to products commonly 

known as ‘‘tablets,’’ ‘‘note pads,’’ ‘‘legal 

pads,’’ and ‘‘quadrille pads’’), provided 

that they do not have a front cover 

(whether permanent or removable). This 

exclusion does not apply to such 

writing pads if they consist of hole– 

punched or drilled filler paper; 

• three–ring or multiple–ring binders, or 

notebook organizers incorporating such 

a ring binder provided that they do not 

include subject paper; 

• index cards; 

• printed books and other books that are 

case bound through the inclusion of 

binders board, a spine strip, and cover 

wrap; 

• newspapers; 

• pictures and photographs; 

• desk and wall calendars and 

organizers (including but not limited to 

such products generally known as 

‘‘office planners,’’ ‘‘time books,’’ and 

‘‘appointment books’’); 

• telephone logs; 

• address books; 

• columnar pads & tablets, with or 

without covers, primarily suited for the 

recording of written numerical business 

data; 

• lined business or office forms, 

including but not limited to: pre– 

printed business forms, lined invoice 

pads and paper, mailing and address 

labels, manifests, and shipping log 

books; 

• lined continuous computer paper; 

• boxed or packaged writing stationary 

(including but not limited to products 

commonly known as ‘‘fine business 

paper,’’ ‘‘parchment paper,’’ and 

‘‘letterhead’’), whether or not containing 

a lined header or decorative lines; 

• Stenographic pads (‘‘steno pads’’), 

Gregg ruled (‘‘Gregg ruling’’ consists of a 

single- or double–margin vertical ruling 

line down the center of the page. For a 

six–inch by nine–inch stenographic 

pad, the ruling would be located 

approximately three inches from the left 

of the book), measuring 6 inches by 9 

inches; 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

order are the following trademarked 

products: 

•TM Fly lined paper products: A 

notebook, notebook organizer, loose or 

glued note paper, with papers that are 

printed with infrared reflective inks and 

readable only by a FlyTM pen–top 

computer. The product must bear the 

valid trademark FlyTM (products found 

to be bearing an invalidly licensed or 

used trademark are not excluded from 

the scope). 

• ZwipesTM : A notebook or notebook 

organizer made with a blended 

polyolefin writing surface as the cover 

and pocket surfaces of the notebook, 

suitable for writing using a specially– 

developed permanent marker and erase 

system (known as a ZwipesTM pen). 

This system allows the marker portion 

to mark the writing surface with a 

permanent ink. The eraser portion of the 

marker dispenses a solvent capable of 

solubilizing the permanent ink allowing 

the ink to be removed. The product 

must bear the valid trademark ZwipesTM

(products found to be bearing an 

invalidly licensed or used trademark are 

not excluded from the scope). 

• FiveStar® AdvanceTM: A notebook or 

notebook organizer bound by a 

continuous spiral, or helical, wire and 

with plastic front and rear covers made 

of a blended polyolefin plastic material 

joined by 300 denier polyester, coated 

on the backside with PVC (poly vinyl 

chloride) coating, and extending the 

entire length of the spiral or helical 

wire. The polyolefin plastic covers are 

of specific thickness; front cover is 

0.019 inches (within normal 

manufacturing tolerances) and rear 

cover is 0.028 inches (within normal 

manufacturing tolerances). Integral with 

the stitching that attaches the polyester 

spine covering, is captured both ends of 

a 1’’ wide elastic fabric band. This band 

is located 2–3/8’’ from the top of the 

front plastic cover and provides pen or 

pencil storage. Both ends of the spiral 

wire are cut and then bent backwards to 

overlap with the previous coil but 

specifically outside the coil diameter 

but inside the polyester covering. 

During construction, the polyester 

covering is sewn to the front and rear 

covers face to face (outside to outside) 

so that when the book is closed, the 

stitching is concealed from the outside. 

Both free ends (the ends not sewn to the 

cover and back) are stitched with a 

turned edge construction. The flexible 

polyester material forms a covering over 

the spiral wire to protect it and provide 

a comfortable grip on the product. The 

product must bear the valid trademarks 

FiveStar® AdvanceTM (products found 

to be bearing an invalidly licensed or 

used trademark are not excluded from 

the scope). 

• FiveStar FlexTM: A notebook, a 

notebook organizer, or binder with 

plastic polyolefin front and rear covers 

joined by 300 denier polyester spine 

cover extending the entire length of the 

spine and bound by a 3–ring plastic 

fixture. The polyolefin plastic covers are 

of a specific thickness; front cover is 

0.019 inches (within normal 

manufacturing tolerances) and rear 

cover is 0.028 inches (within normal 

manufacturing tolerances). During 

construction, the polyester covering is 

sewn to the front cover face to face 

(outside to outside) so that when the 

book is closed, the stitching is 

concealed from the outside. During 

construction, the polyester cover is 

sewn to the back cover with the outside 

of the polyester spine cover to the inside 

back cover. Both free ends (the ends not 

sewn to the cover and back) are stitched 

with a turned edge construction. Each 

ring within the fixture is comprised of 

a flexible strap portion that snaps into 

a stationary post which forms a closed 

binding ring. The ring fixture is riveted 

with six metal rivets and sewn to the 

back plastic cover and is specifically 

positioned on the outside back cover. 

The product must bear the valid 

trademark FiveStar Flex (products 

found to be bearing an invalidly 

licensed or used trademark are not 

excluded from the scope).

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to these final results, the 

Department has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer– 

specific ad valorem duty assessment 

rates based on the ratio of the total 

amount of the antidumping margins 

calculated for the examined sales to the 

total entered value of the examined 

sales for that importer. Where the 

assessment rate is above de minimis, we 

will instruct CBP to assess duties on all 

entries of subject merchandise by that 

importer. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate without regard to antidumping 

duties any entries for which the 

assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.50 percent). The Department 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

directly to CBP 15 days after publication 

of the final results of this review. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954, (May 6, 2003) (Assessment 

Policy Notice). This clarification applies 

to POR entries of subject merchandise 

produced by companies examined in 

this review (i.e., companies for which a 

dumping margin was calculated) where 

the companies did not know that their 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States. In such instances, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 

entries at the 3.91 percent all–others 

rate for India if there is no company– 

specific rate for an intermediary 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. See Notice of Amended 

Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value: Certain Lined Paper 

Products from the People’s Republic of

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of 

these final results for all shipments of 

CLPP from India entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the publication date of the final 

results of this administrative review, as 

provided by section 751(a) of the Act: 

(1) for companies covered by this 

review, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate listed above; (2) for previously 

reviewed or investigated companies 

other than those covered by this review, 

the cash deposit rate will be the 

company–specific rate established for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the less–thanfair–value investigation, but the 

producer is, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate established for the most recent 

period for the manufacturer of the 

subject merchandise; and (4) if neither 

the exporter nor the producer is a firm 

covered in this review, a prior review, 

or the investigation, the cash deposit 

rate will be 3.91 percent, the all–others 

rate established in the less–than-fair– 

value investigation. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent increase in antidumping 

duties by the amount of antidumping 

and/or countervailing duties 

reimbursed. 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. See 19 CFR 351.402(f)(3). 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and the terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

the People’s Republic of China in 

(‘‘PRC’’) on December 1, 2009.1 We

482–0650, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 9, 2003, the Department 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order on saccharin 

from the PRC.2 On June 8, 2009, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register the notice of continuation of 

antidumping duty order on saccharin 

from the PRC.3 On June 4, 2009, the 

Department received a request on behalf 

of PMC Specialties Group, Inc. 

(‘‘PMCSG’’) for a changed circumstances 

review to revoke the antidumping duty 

order on saccharin from the PRC. 

PMCSG claimed that, as the sole 

domestic producer of saccharin, it no 

longer had an interest in the Saccharin 

Order. As part of its submission, 

PMCSG requested that the Department 

combine the notice of initiation with the 

preliminary results to revoke the 

Saccharin Order. 

On July 9, 2009, the Department 

received a letter opposing the request 

for a changed circumstances review 

from Kinetic Industries (‘‘Kinetic’’).4

Kinetic claimed that it produces 

saccharin through a third party toller in 

the United States and that both parties, 

Kinetic and its toll producer, are 

interested parties as domestic producers 

of saccharin. Both Kinetic and its toll 

producer requested that the Department 

not issue expedited preliminary results 

in this changed circumstances review. 

On July 23, 2009, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of changed 

circumstances review for saccharin from 

the PRC. On July 23, 2009, the 

Department also issued questionnaires 

to PMCSG, Kinetic, and Kinetic’s toller 

to solicit relevant information and fully 

evaluate the request to revoke the 

Saccharin Order, as well as the 

arguments against revocation. On July 

24, 2009, the Department issued a letter 

to Kinetic and its toller notifying them 

that the Department could not grant 

proprietary treatment to the toll 

producer’s name if the toll producer 

wished to be an interested party to the 

proceeding, and that, should the toller 

wish to continue as an interested party, 

the toller would need to submit a 

revised notice of appearance without its 

name bracketed. The toller did not 

submit a revised notice of appearance. 

On August 17, 2009, the Department 

received questionnaire responses from 

Kinetic and Kinetic’s toller. The 

Department has not received any 

response from PMCSG. In addition, 

PMCSG indicated to the Department 

that it would not respond to the 

questionnaire.5

On September 4, 2009, Kinetic 

submitted a letter urging the Department 

to issue expedited negative preliminary 

results of the changed circumstances 

review and determine that domestic 

producers have affirmatively expressed 

an interest in maintaining the Saccharin 

Order. On October, 26 2009, PMCSG 

submitted a letter stating that it 

determined not to respond to the 

Department’s July 23, 2009, 

questionnaire, and that it is PMCSG’s 

position that the record contains 

substantial evidence that it is a 

commercial producer and accounts for 

all U.S. production. 

On December 1, 2009, the Department 

published its preliminary results. No 

parties commented on our preliminary 

results. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this 

antidumping duty order is saccharin. 

Saccharin is defined as a non–nutritive 

sweetener used in beverages and foods, 

personal care products such as 

toothpaste, table top sweeteners, and 

animal feeds. It is also used in 

metalworking fluids. There are four 

primary chemical compositions of 

saccharin: (1) Sodium saccharin 

(American Chemical Society Chemical 

Abstract Service (‘‘CAS’’) Registry 128– 

44–9); (2) calcium saccharin (CAS 

Registry 6485–34–3); (3) acid (or 

insoluble) saccharin (CAS Registry 81– 

07–2); and (4) research grade saccharin. 

Most of the U.S.-produced and imported 

grades of saccharin from the PRC are 

sodium and calcium saccharin, which 

are available in granular, powder, 

spray–dried powder, and liquid forms. 

The merchandise subject to this order is 

currently classifiable under subheading 

2925.11.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States
