SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 29, 2023, based on 

timely requests for review, Commerce 

initiated this administrative review of 

the countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

aluminum foil from Tu ̈rkiye.1 On 

January 6, 2024, Commerce selected 

ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret 

A.S. (ASAS) and Assan Aluminyum 

Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Assan) as the 

mandatory respondents in this review.2

On March 28, 2024, the petitioners and 

ASAS timely withdrew their requests 

for review for ASAS.3 Therefore, on 

April 5, 2024, Commerce selected Panda 

Aluminyum A.S. (Panda) as an 

additional mandatory respondent in this 

review.4

On July 15, 2024, Commerce extended 

the deadline for the preliminary results 

of this review.5 On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

certain administrative proceedings by 

seven days.6 On November 8, 2024, 

Commerce extended the time period for 

issuing these preliminary results by an 

additional 14 days.7 The deadline for 

the preliminary results is now December 

6, 2024. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.8 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http:// 

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 9

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is aluminum foil from Tu ̈rkiye. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind 

an administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested the review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review in the 

Federal Register. On March 28, 2024, 

the petitioners and ASAS withdrew 

their requests for review for ASAS.10

Because ASAS and the petitioners 

timely withdrew their requests for a

11See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act 

regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) 

of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of 

the Act regarding specificity. 

12As discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, Commerce has found the following 

companies to be cross-owned with Assan: Ispak 

Esnek Ambalaj Sanayi A.S.; and Kibar Holding A.S. 

We note that Assan has an affiliated trading 

company through which it exported certain subject 

merchandise, Kibar Dis Ticaret A.S. (Kibar Dis). 

Therefore, because Kibar Dis’ subsidies are 

included as part of Assan’s total subsidy rate, we 

have not assigned a subsidy rate to Kibar Dis. 

Entries of subject merchandise exported by Kibar 

Dis will receive the rate of the producer listed on 

the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entry 

form. 

13We note that Panda has an affiliated trading 

company through which it exported certain subject 

merchandise, Seherli Danis ̧manlik A.S ̧. (Seherli). 

Seherli was not selected as a mandatory respondent 

but was examined in the context of Panda. 

Therefore, because Seherli’s subsidies are included 

as part of Panda’s total subsidy rate, we have not 

assigned a subsidy rate to Seherli. Entries of subject 

merchandise exported by Seherli will receive the 

rate of the producer listed on the CBP entry form.

review of ASAS, and no other party 

requested a review of ASAS, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce is rescinding this review, in 

part, with respect to ASAS. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.11 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the net 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

period January 1, 2022, through 

December 31, 2022, to be: 

Company

address, the number of participants; and 

a list of issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing 

is made, Commerce will inform parties 

of the scheduled date for the hearing.17

Assessment Rates 

Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon 

issuance of the final results, Commerce 

shall determine, and CBP shall assess,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 22, 2021, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on thermal 

paper from Germany.1 On November 2, 

2023, Commerce published in the 

Federal Register a notice of opportunity 

to request an administrative review of 

the Order for the POR.2 On December 

29, 2023, based on timely requests for 

review, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the Order.3 On 

March 15, 2024, Lollicup USA 

Incorporated (Lollicup) withdrew its 

request for review of Mitsubishi Hitec 

Paper (Mitsubishi).4 Therefore, 

Commerce is examining Koehler Paper 

SE and Koehler Kehl GmbH 

(collectively, Koehler) as the sole 

mandatory respondent in this review.5

On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled 

certain deadlines in this administrative 

proceeding by seven days.6 In July 2024 

and November 2024, we extended the 

deadline for preliminary results of this 

administrative review. The deadline to 

issue the preliminary results is no later 

than December 6, 2024.7 For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the initiation of this review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.8

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is thermal paper from Germany. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested a review 

withdraws its request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of notice of 

initiation. As noted above, Lollicup 

withdrew its request for review of 

Mitsubishi within the 90-day deadline. 

As no other party requested for review 

of Mitsubishi, we are rescinding this 

administrative review with respect to 

Mitsubishi, pursuant to 19 CFR 351. 

213(d)(1). 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

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

We calculated constructed export price 

in accordance with section 772 of the 

Act. We calculated NV in accordance 

with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

topics discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is attached as an
