Duty Administrative Review; 2021– 

2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

the sole producer/exporter subject to 

this administrative review made sales of 

subject merchandise at less than normal 

value during the period of review (POR), 

May 12, 2021, through October 31, 2022. 

DATES: Applicable February 7, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 29, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results and 

invited comments from interested 

parties.1 No interested party submitted 

comments on the Preliminary Results. 

Accordingly, the final results remain 

unchanged from the Preliminary 

Results, and thus, there is no decision 

memorandum accompanying this 

notice. Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 2

The merchandise covered by this 

order is thermal paper. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Results.3

Final Results of Review 

For these final results, we determine 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the 

period May 12, 2021, through October 

31, 2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Hansol Paper Company ....... 2.09 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce will disclose to 

the parties in a proceeding the 

calculations performed in connection 

with the final results of review within 

five days of any public announcement 

or, if there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of the notice of final results 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, 

because we have made no changes from 

the Preliminary Results, there are no 

new calculations to disclose. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), because Hansol Paper 

Company (Hansol) reported the entered 

value for all of its U.S. sales, we 

calculated importer-specific ad valorem 

duty assessment rates based on the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the examined sales to the 

total entered value of those same sales. 

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Hansol for which the company did 

not know that the merchandise it sold 

to an intermediary (e.g., a reseller, 

trading company, or exporter) was 

destined for the United States. In such 

instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the all-others 

rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.4

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

these final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the publication date, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for Hansol will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in these final results 

of this administrative review; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

companies not covered in this review, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the lessthan-fair-value (LTV) investigation, but 

the producer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the cash deposit rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment for the producer of 

the subject merchandise; and (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

and exporters will continue to be 6.19 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.5 These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties

8412 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 7, 2024 / Notices 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition 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 or destruction 

of APO materials or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: February 1, 2024.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Alaska Crab Arbitration 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on September 

19, 2023, during a 60-day comment 

period. This notice allows for an 

additional 30 days for public comments. 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

Title: Alaska Crab Arbitration. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0516. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 2. 

Average Hours per Response: Annual 

Arbitration Organization Report: 6 

hours; Cost Allocation Agreement: 16 

hours. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 28 

hours. 

Needs and Uses: The National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska 

Regional Office, is requesting extension 

of a currently approved information 

collection for the Arbitration System for 

the Crab Rationalization Program. 

The Crab Rationalization Program 

allocates Bering Sea and Aleutian 

Islands (BSAI) crab resources among 

harvesters, processors, and coastal 

communities. Under the Crab 

Rationalization Program, eligible 

License Limitation Program license 

holders were issued crab quota shares 

(QS), which are long term shares, based 

on their qualifying license histories. The 

QS yield annual individual fishing 

quota (IFQ) that is an exclusive harvest 

privilege for a portion of the total 

allowable catch. Processor quota shares 

(PQS) are long term shares issued to 

processors. The PQS yield annual 

individual processor quota (IPQ) that is 

an exclusive privilege to receive, for 

processing, a portion of the crab 

harvested with Class A IFQ. 

This information collection for the 

Arbitration System is necessary for 

NMFS to manage the Crab 

Rationalization Program crab fisheries 

in the BSAI. This information collection 

is implemented under the Crab 

Rationalization Program and required by 

regulations at 50 CFR 680.20. NMFS 

requires that harvesters and processors 

abide by an Arbitration System 

established to stabilize prices and 

negotiations during the crab harvest 

season. The Arbitration System is 

necessary to reduce contention in price 

negotiations. The information collected 

is necessary for NMFS to verify the 

membership of the arbitration 

organizations and maintain the 

Arbitration System. 

The Arbitration System was designed 

to fairly and equitably resolve price, 

delivery terms, performance standards, 

and other disputes in the event that IFQ 

and IPQ holders are unable to reach 

agreement on arbitration proceedings. 

The Arbitration System is also designed 

to minimize the potential for antitrust 

violations. The Arbitration System 

includes a provision for open 

negotiations among IPQ and IFQ 

holders, as well as various negotiation 

approaches, including a share matching 

approach, a lengthy season approach 

where parties may postpone binding 

arbitration until during the season, and 

a binding arbitration procedure to 

resolve price disputes between an IPQ 

holder and eligible IFQ holders. The 

Arbitration System also provides for 

dissemination of market information to 

facilitate negotiations, coordination of 

matching Class A IFQ held by harvesters 

to IPQ held by processors, and the 

opportunity to use the binding 

arbitration process to resolve terms of 

price and delivery. Certain aspects of 

the Arbitration System are required of 

catcher vessel owners who hold QS/IFQ 

and PQS/IPQ holders and operate 

regardless of whether participants in the 

fishery actually initiate binding 

arbitration in order to resolve terms of 

price or delivery. 

This information collection contains 

five components of the Arbitration 

System that are submitted to NMFS. 

Four are submitted annually: the 

Annual Arbitration Organization Report, 

the Market Report, the Non-binding 

Price Formula Report, and the Cost 

Allocation Agreement. The Contract 

Arbitrator Report is submitted if any 

arbitrations occur within a fishery. 

The Annual Arbitration Organization 

Report is compiled by each of the two 

arbitration organizations; one 

organization represents the processors, 

and the second represents the 

harvesters. This report includes 

information on the arbitration 

organization and its management 

personnel, the crab QS fisheries to 

which the report applies, the ownership 

interest and the QS/IFQ or PQS/IPQ 

held by each member; and the 

arbitration process. 

The Cost Allocation Agreement 

provides combined shared arbitration 

accounting costs. Federal regulations for 

the Crab Rationalization Program 

require that the crab arbitration costs are 

shared equally between IPQ holders and 

Class A IFQ holders—processors pay 

half and fishermen pay half. 

The arbitration organizations use 

contracted parties to meet the 

requirements of the Market Report, 

Nonbinding Price Formula Report, and 

Contractor Arbitrator Report. 

The Non-binding Price Formula 

Report is a pre-season report that is 

designed to serve as a starting point for 

negotiations between fishermen and 

processors, or as a starting point for an 

arbitrator in evaluating offers in an 

arbitration process. This report 

documents how each formula was 

developed. 

The Market Report provides an 

analysis of the market for products of a 

specific crab fishery and reports on
