Lightweight Thermal Paper From Germany: Final Results of the 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012-2013

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On December 1, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published the preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on lightweight thermal paper 
(LWTP) from Germany.\1\ The period of review (POR) is November 1, 2012, 
through October 31, 2013. We invited interested parties to comment on 
the preliminary results. After reviewing the comments received and 
making corrections to the margin calculation program, we continue to 
find that Papierfabrik August Koehler SE (Koehler) did not make sales 
of subject merchandise at less than normal value. The final dumping 
margin for Koehler, listed below in the section entitled ``Final 
Results of the Review,'' is unchanged from the preliminary results.

Background

    Since the publication of the Preliminary Results, in January 2015, 
Koehler submitted a case brief. The Department is conducting this 
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the order is LWTP.\2\

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, we determine that the following 
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period November 1, 2012, 
through October 31, 2013.

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed within five days 
of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department intends 
to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of these final results of review. Because we have 
calculated a zero margin for Koehler in the final results of this 
review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.
    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003.\4\ This clarification applies to entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by Koehler for which it did not 
know that the merchandise was destined for the United States. In such 
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 
all-others rate effective during the POR if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. See Assessment 
Policy Notice for a full discussion of this clarification.

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) 
(Assessment Policy Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discontinuation of Cash Deposit Requirements

    On January 22, 2015, the U.S. International Trade Commission 
determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act (i.e., as a result of 
a five-year ``sunset'' review), that revocation of the antidumping duty 
order on the subject merchandise would not be likely to lead to the 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.\5\ Accordingly, the 
antidumping duty order on LWTP from Germany was revoked effective 
November 24, 2013.\6\ As a result, we have instructed CBP to 
discontinue collection of cash deposits of antidumping duties on 
entries of the subject merchandise made on or after November 24, 2013.

Notification to Importers

    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 review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
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). Timely written 
notification of return or 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.
    The final results of this administrative review and notice are 
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.221.
