Department of Commerce. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 17, 2011. 

SUMMARY: On June 30, 2011, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) received a request from 

the Association of American School 

Paper Suppliers (‘‘AASPS’’) 1 for a 

changed circumstances review for the 

purpose of revoking, in part, the 

antidumping duty order on certain lined 

paper products (‘‘CLPP’’) from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). 

AASPS claims that producers 

accounting for substantially all of the 

production of the domestic like product 

to which the order was issued no longer 

wish to maintain the order with respect 

to FiveStar® AdvanceTM notebooks and 

notebook organizers without polyvinyl 

chloride (‘‘PVC’’) coatings. Therefore, 

we are notifying the public of our intent 

to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty 

order as it relates to imports of 

FiveStar® AdvanceTM notebooks and 

notebook organizers as described below. 

The Department invites interested 

parties to comment on these preliminary 

results.

Notice of Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain Lined 

Paper Products from India, Indonesia and the 

People’s Republic of China; and Notice of 

Countervailing Duty Orders: Certain Lined Paper 

Products from India and Indonesia, 71 FR 56949 

(September 28, 2006) (‘‘CLPP Order’’). 

On June 30, 2011, the Department 

received a request from AASPS for a 

changed circumstances review to 

revoke, in part, the antidumping duty 

order on CLPP from the PRC with 

respect to FiveStar® AdvanceTM

notebooks and notebook organizers 

without PVC coatings. We have not 

received comments from any other 

party. 

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 

looseleaf filler paper) including but not 

limited to such products as single- and 

multi-subject notebooks, composition 

books, wireless notebooks, looseleaf 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 83⁄4 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 

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: 

• FlyTM 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 speciallydeveloped 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

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

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 FlexTM (products 

found to be bearing an invalidly 

licensed or used trademark are not 

excluded from the scope). 

Merchandise subject to this order is

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). The HTSUS 

headings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes; however, the 

written description of the scope of this 

order is dispositive. 

Since the issuance of the order, the 

Department has issued numerous scope 

rulings. 

Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

Changed Circumstances Review, and 

Intent To Revoke Order in Part 

At the request of AASPS, and in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.216, 

the Department is initiating a changed 

circumstances review of the AD order 

on CLPP from the PRC to determine 

whether partial revocation of the order 

is warranted with respect to FiveStar®

AdvanceTM notebooks and notebook 

organizers without PVC coatings. 

Section 782(h)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.222(g)(1)(i) provide that the 

Department may revoke an order (in 

whole or in part) if it determines that 

producers accounting for substantially 

all of the production of the domestic 

like product have expressed a lack of 

interest in the order, in whole or in part. 

To establish whether the producers 

represent ‘‘substantially all’’ of domestic 

producers, as set forth in section 782(h) 

of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i), 

the Department has previously 

interpreted this term to mean those 

domestic producers accounting for at 

least 85 percent of the total production 

of domestic like product covered by the 

order. See 19 CFR 351.208(c). In 

addition, in the event the Department 

determines that expedited action is 

warranted, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii) 

permits the Department to combine the 

notices of initiation and preliminary 

results. 

In accordance with section 751(b) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(l)(i) and 

351.221(c)(3), we are initiating this 

changed circumstances review and have 

determined that expedited action is 

warranted. AASPS asserts that MWV is 

the sole domestic producer of FiveStar®

AdvanceTM notebooks and notebook 

organizers without PVC coatings and 

further, based on information 

reasonably available to the AASPS with 

respect to the U.S. lined paper market, 

the producers accounting for 

substantially all of the production of the 

domestic like product to which the 

order pertains support the request for 

changed circumstances review as filed.4

Consistent with established precedent,5

because AASPS, the petitioner in the 

underlying investigation, has made an 

affirmative statement of no interest and 

claimed that parties accounting for more 

than 85 percent of production of the 

domestic like product support the 

partial revocation, we are accepting 

their claim. In accordance with section 

751(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.222(g)(1)(i), and absent any 

evidence to the contrary, we find that 

substantially all of the producers of the 

domestic like product have expressed a 

lack of interest in maintaining the order 

with respect to FiveStar® AdvanceTM

notebooks and notebook organizers 

without PVC coatings. Based on the 

expression of no interest by companies 

accounting for substantially all of the 

production of the domestic like product 

to which the CLPP Order pertains, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

domestic producers of the like product 

have no interest in the continued 

application of the AD order on CLPP 

from the PRC to the merchandise that is 

subject to this request. Accordingly, we 

are notifying the public of our intent to 

revoke, in part, the AD order with 

respect to FiveStar® AdvanceTM

notebooks and notebook organizers 

without PVC coatings. Therefore, we 

intend to change the scope of the order 

on CLPP from the PRC to include the 

following exclusion: Excluded from the 

scope is FiveStar® AdvanceTM

notebooks and notebook organizers 

without PVC coatings. 

Public Comment 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

Written comments may be submitted no 

later than 14 days after the date of 

publication of these preliminary results. 

Rebuttals to written comments, limited 

to issues raised in such comments, may 

be filed no later than 21 days after the 

date of publication of these preliminary 

results. The Department will issue the 

final results of this changed 

circumstances review, which will 

include its analysis of any written 

comments, no later than 270 days after 

the date on which this review was 

initiated, or within 45 days if all parties 

agree to our preliminary results. See 19 

CFR 351.216(e). 

If final revocation occurs, we will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection to end the suspension of 

liquidation for the merchandise covered 

by the revocation on the effective date 

of the notice of revocation and to release 

any cash deposit or bond. See 19 CFR 

351.222(g)(4). The current requirement 

for a cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping duties on all subject 

merchandise will continue unless and 

until it is modified pursuant to the final 

results of this changed circumstances 

review. 

This initiation and preliminary results 

of review and notice are in accordance 

with sections 751(b) and 777(i) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216, 351.221, and 

351.222. 

Dated: August 11, 2011.
