3LWTP is typically produced in jumbo rolls that 

are slit to the specifications of the converting 

equipment and then converted into finished slit 

rolls. Both jumbo and converted rolls (as well as 

LWTP in any other form, presentation, or 

dimension) are covered by the scope of these 

orders. 

4A base coat, when applied, is typically made of 

clay and/or latex and like materials and is intended 

to cover the rough surface of the paper substrate 

and to provide insulating value. 

5A thermal active coating is typically made of 

sensitizer, dye, and co-reactant. 

6A top coat, when applied, is typically made of 

polyvinyl acetone, polyvinyl alcohol, and/or like 

materials and is intended to provide environmental 

protection, an improved surface for press printing, 

and/or wear protection for the thermal print head. 

immediately. Approximately half of the 

positions open on the DEC will be 

appointed to a term ending December 

31, 2025, and the remainder for the term 

ending December 31, 2027. The online 

nomination form is available at https:// 

app.keysurvey.com/f/41751734/3f30/. 

All potential nominees must complete 

the online nomination form linked 

above and consent to sharing of the 

information on that form, if appointed, 

with other DEC members, relevant 

government agencies and private sector 

organizations with a focus on trade. 

Interested individuals are highly 

encouraged to reach out to the local 

USEAC Director to learn more about the 

DEC and to begin the application 

process as soon as possible. 

Eligibility and Appointment Criteria: 

Appointment is based upon an 

individual’s international trade 

leadership in the local community, 

ability to influence the local 

environment for exporting, knowledge 

of day-to-day international operations, 

interest in export development, and 

willingness and ability to devote time to 

DEC activities. Members must be 

employed as exporters or export service 

providers or in a profession which 

supports U.S. export promotion efforts. 

DEC member appointments are made 

without regard to political affiliation. 

DEC membership is open to U.S. 

citizens and permanent residents of the 

United States. As representatives of the 

local exporting community, DEC 

Members must reside in, or conduct the 

majority of their work in, the territory 

that the DEC covers. DEC membership is 

not open to federal government 

employees. Individuals representing 

foreign governments, including 

individuals registered with the 

Department of Justice under the Foreign 

Agents Registration Act, must disclose 

such representation and may be 

disqualified if the Department 

determines that such representation is 

likely to impact the ability to carry out 

the duties of a DEC member or raise an 

appearance issue for the Department. 

Selection Process: Nominations of 

individuals who have applied for DEC 

membership will be forwarded to the 

local USEAC Director for the Director’s 

consideration. The local USEAC 

Director ensures that all nominees meet 

the membership criteria. The local 

USEAC Director then evaluates all 

nominees to determine their interest, 

commitment, and qualifications. In 

reviewing nominees, the local USEAC 

Director strives to ensure a balance 

among exporters from a manufacturing 

or service industry and export service 

providers. A fair representation should 

be considered from companies and 

organizations that support exporters, 

representatives of local and state 

government, and trade organizations 

and associations. Membership should 

reflect the diversity of the local business 

community, encompass a broad range of 

business and industry sectors, and be 

distributed geographically across the 

DEC service area, and where possible, 

the Department of Commerce will also 

consider the ethnic, racial, and gender 

diversity and various abilities of the 

United States population. 

The local USEAC Director determines 

which nominees to forward to the 

US&FCS Office of U.S. Field for further 

consideration for recommendation to 

the Secretary of Commerce. A 

candidate’s background and character 

are pertinent to determining suitability 

and eligibility for DEC membership. 

Since DEC appointments are made by 

the Secretary, the Department must 

make a suitability determination for all 

DEC nominees. After completion of a 

vetting process, the Secretary selects 

nominees for appointment to the local 

DEC. DEC members are appointed by 

and serve at the pleasure of the 

Secretary of Commerce. 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1512 and 4721.

Lightweight Thermal Paper From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; 2022–2023 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

certain companies subject to the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on lightweight 

thermal paper (paper) from the People’s 

Republic of China (China), are not 

eligible for separate rates and are, 

therefore, part of the China-wide entity. 

The period of review (POR) is November 

1, 2022, through October 31, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable October 15, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 18, 2024, Commerce 

published the preliminary results of the 

2022–2023 administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order 1 on lightweight 

thermal paper from China in the Federal 

Register and invited interested parties 

to comment.2 We received no comments 

from interested parties on the 

Preliminary Results, and we have made 

no changes to the Preliminary Results. 

Accordingly, there is no decision 

memorandum accompanying this notice 

and the final results are unchanged from 

the Preliminary Results. Commerce 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

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

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this Order 

includes certain lightweight thermal 

paper, which is thermal paper with a 

basis weight of 70 grams per square 

meter (g/m2) (with a tolerance of ±4.0 g/ 

m2) or less; irrespective of dimensions; 3

with or without a base coat 4 on one or 

both sides; with thermal active 

coating(s) 5 on one or both sides that is 

a mixture of the dye and the developer 

that react and form an image when heat 

is applied; with or without a top coat; 6

and without an adhesive backing. 

Certain lightweight thermal paper is 

typically (but not exclusively) used in 

point-of-sale applications such as ATM 

receipts, credit card receipts, gas pump 

receipts, and retail store receipts. The 

merchandise subject to this order may 

be classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)

7HTSUS subheading 4811.90.8000 was a 

classification used for LWTP until January 1, 2007. 

Effective that date, subheading 4811.90.8000 was 

replaced with 4811.90.8020 (for gift wrap, a nonsubject product) and 4811.90.8040 (for ‘‘other’’ 

including LWTP). HTSUS subheading 4811.90.9000 

was a classification for LWTP until July 1, 2005. 

Effective that date, subheading 4811.90.9000 was 

replaced with 4811.90.9010 (for tissue paper, a nonsubject product) and 4811.90.9090 (for ‘‘other,’’ 

including LWTP). 

8As of January 1, 2009, the ITC deleted HTSUS 

subheadings 4811.90.8040 and 4811.90.9090 and 

added HTSUS subheadings 4811.90.8030, 

4811.90.8050, 4811.90.9030, and 4811.90.9050 to 

the HTSUS (2009). See Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (2009), available at https://

www.usitc.gov. These HTSUS subheadings were 

added to the scope of the order in lightweight 

thermal paper’s LTFV investigation. 

9See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 51500. 

10See Order, 73 FR at 70959. 11See Order, 73 FR at 70959. 

1We initiated this administrative review with 

respect to 112 companies. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 38021 (June 12, 

2023). However, we are rescinding this review for 

83 companies that did not have reviewable entries 

under subheadings 3703.10.60, 

4811.59.20, 4811.90.8040, 4811.90.9090, 

4820.10.20, 4823.40.00, 4811.90.8030, 

4811.90.8050, 4811.90.9030, and 

4811.90.9050.7 8 Although HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

Order is dispositive. 

Final Results of Review 

Because we received no comments, 

we made no changes from the 

Preliminary Results. We continue to 

find that: (1) Guangdong Guanhao HighTech (Guangdong Guanhao); (2) 

Guangdong Polygon New Materials 

(Guangdong Polygon); (3) and Henan 

Jianghe Paper (Henan Jianghe) did not 

file separate rate applications or 

certifications and, thus, did not 

demonstrate their eligibility for separate 

rate status and, therefore, are part of the 

China-wide entity. As stated in the 

Preliminary Results, no party requested 

a review of the China-wide entity.9

Moreover, we did not self-initiate a 

review of the China-wide entity. 

Because no review of the China-wide 

entity is being conducted, the Chinawide entity’s entries are not subject to 

the review, and the weighted-average 

dumping margin for the China-wide 

entity (i.e., 115.29 percent) is not subject 

to change.10

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations of the 

final results of an administrative review 

within five days of a 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 calculations to disclose. 

Assessment 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), upon 

completion of the administrative 

review, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered this review. 

Because Commerce finds the three 

companies subject to this review, 

Guangdong Guanhao, Guangdong 

Polygon, and Henan Jianghe are part of 

the China-wide entity in the final 

results, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries containing subject 

merchandise exported by the companies 

under review at the China-wide entity 

rate of 115.29 percent. 

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 for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for previously 

investigated or reviewed Chinese and 

non-Chinese exporters for which a 

review was not requested and that 

received a separate rate in a prior 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate for the 

China-wide entity (115.29 percent); 11

and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. 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 the POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

the final results of this review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).
