(EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope.—For purposes of these 

investigations, Commerce has defined 

the subject merchandise as ‘‘paper 

shopping bags with handles of ny type, 

regardless of whether there is any 

printing, regardless of how the top edges 

are finished (e.g., folded, serrated, or 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2024 / Notices 3425 

otherwise finished), regardless of color, 

and regardless of whether the top edges 

contain adhesive or other material for 

sealing closed. Subject paper shopping 

bags have a width of at least 4.5 inches 

and depth of at least 2.5 inches. 

Paper shopping bags typically are 

made of kraft paper but can be made 

from any type of cellulose fiber, 

paperboard, or pressboard with a basis 

weight less than 300 grams per square 

meter (GSM). 

A non-exhaustive illustrative list of 

the types of handles on shopping bags 

covered by the scope include handles 

made from any materials such as 

twisted paper, flat paper, yarn, ribbon, 

rope, string, or plastic, as well as die-cut 

handles (whether the punchout is fully 

removed or partially attached as a flap). 

Excluded from the scope are: 

• Paper sacks or bags that are of a 

1/6 or 1/7 barrel size (i.e., 11.5–12.5 

inches in width, 6.5–7.5 inches in 

depth, and 13.5–17.5 inches in height) 

with flat paper handles or die-cut 

handles; 

• Paper sacks or bags with die-cut 

handles, a grams per square meter paper 

weight of less than 86 GSM, and a 

height of less than 11.5 inches; and 

• Paper sacks or bags (i) with nonpaper handles made wholly of woven 

ribbon or other similar woven fabric and 

(ii) that are finished with folded tops or 

for which tied knots or t-bar aglets 

(made of wood, metal, or plastic) are 

used to secure the handles to the bags. 

The above-referenced dimensions are 

provided for paper bags in the opened 

position. The height of the bag is the 

distance from the bottom fold edge to 

the top edge (i.e., excluding the height 

of handles that extend above the top 

edge). The depth of the bag is the 

distance from the front of the bag edge 

to the back of the bag edge (typically 

measured at the bottom of the bag). The 

width of the bag is measured from the 

left to the right edges of the front and 

back panels (upon which the handles 

typically are located). 

This merchandise is currently 

classifiable under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings 4819.30.0040 and 

4819.40.0040. The HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes only; the written 

description of the scope is dispositive.’’ 

Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of 

affirmative preliminary determinations 

by Commerce that certain benefits 

which constitute subsidies within the 

meaning of § 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in China and India, and that such 

products from Cambodia, China, 

Colombia, India, Malaysia, Portugal, 

Taiwan, Turkey, and Vietnam are being 

sold in the United States at less than fair 

value within the meaning of § 733 of the 

Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The 

investigations were requested in 

petitions filed on May 31, 2023, by the 

Coalition for Fair Trade in Shopping 

Bags, a coalition whose members 

include Novolex Holdings, LLC 

(‘‘Novolex’’), Charlotte, North Carolina, 

and the United Steel, Paper and 

Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, 

Energy, Allied Industrial and Service 

Workers International Union (‘‘United 

Steelworkers’’), Pittsburgh, 

Pennsylvania.

the conduct of this phase of the 

investigations, hearing procedures, and 

rules of general application, consult the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B 

(19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207). 

Participation in the investigations and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the subject 

merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the final phase of these 

investigations as parties must file an 

entry of appearance with the Secretary 

to the Commission, as provided in 

§ 201.11 of the Commission’s rules, no

date specified in this notice. A party 

that filed a notice of appearance during 

the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not file an 

additional notice of appearance during 

this final phase. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the investigations. 

Please note the Secretary’s Office will 

accept only electronic filings during this 

time. Filings must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov.) No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice. 

Limited disclosure of business 

proprietary information (BPI) under an 

administrative protective order (APO) 

and BPI service list.—Pursuant to 

§ 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the 

Secretary will make BPI gathered in the 

final phase of these investigations 

available to authorized applicants under 

the APO issued in the investigations, 

provided that the application is made 

no later than 21 days prior to the 

hearing date specified in this notice. 

Authorized applicants must represent 

interested parties, as defined by 19 

U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the 

investigations. A party granted access to 

BPI in the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not reapply for such 

access. A separate service list will be 

maintained by the Secretary for those 

parties authorized to receive BPI under 

the APO. 

Staff report.—The prehearing staff 

report in the final phase of these 

investigations will be placed in the 

nonpublic record on March 1, 2024, and

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives 

notice of the scheduling of expedited 

reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘the Act’’) to determine whether

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On January 5, 2024, the 

Commission determined that the 

domestic interested party group 

response to its notice of institution (88 

FR 67807, October 2, 2023) of the 

subject five-year reviews was adequate 

and that the respondent interested party 

group response was inadequate. The 

Commission did not find any other 

circumstances that would warrant 

conducting full reviews.1 Accordingly, 

the Commission determined that it 

would conduct expedited reviews 

pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act 

(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). 

For further information concerning 

the conduct of these reviews and rules 

of general application, consult the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B 

(19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 

207). 

Staff report.—A staff report 

containing information concerning the 

subject matter of the reviews has been 

placed in the nonpublic record, and will 

be made available to persons on the 

Administrative Protective Order service 

list for these reviews on February 15, 

2024. A public version will be issued 

thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Written submissions.—As provided in 

§ 207.62(d) of the Commission’s rules, 

interested parties that are parties to the 

reviews and that have provided 

individually adequate responses to the 

notice of institution,2 and any party 

other than an interested party to the 

reviews may file written comments with 

the Secretary on what determination the 

Commission should reach in the 

reviews. Comments are due on or before 

February 22, 2024 and may not contain 

new factual information. Any person 

that is neither a party to the five-year 

reviews nor an interested party may 

submit a brief written statement (which 

shall not contain any new factual 

information) pertinent to the reviews by 

February 22, 2024. However, should the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) 

extend the time limit for its completion 

of the final results of its reviews, the 

deadline for comments (which may not 

contain new factual information) on 

Commerce’s final results is three 

business days after the issuance of 

Commerce’s results. If comments 

contain business proprietary 

information (BPI), they must conform 

with the requirements of §§ 201.6, 

207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s 

rules. The Commission’s Handbook on 

Filing Procedures, available on the 

Commission’s website at https://

www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_

on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates 

upon the Commission’s procedures with 

respect to filings.
