SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 5, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results in 
the Federal Register.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment on 
the Preliminary Results; \2\ however, no interested party submitted 
comments. Accordingly, because we have made no changes to the 
Preliminary Results, the final results remain unchanged from the 
Preliminary Results and there is no decision memorandum accompanying 
this Federal Register notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Thermal Paper from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 
96640 (December 5, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
    \2\ Id., 89 FR at 96641.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to issue the 
final results in this administrative review by 90 days.\3\ Accordingly, 
the deadline for these final results is now July 3, 2025. Commerce 
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated December 9, 2024.

Scope of the Order 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Thermal Paper from Germany, Japan, the Republic of 
Korea, and Spain: Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 66284 (November 22, 
2021) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The merchandise subject to the Order is thermal paper from Korea. 
For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the 
Preliminary Results.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin 
exists for the period November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Weighted-average
                Producer or exporter                    dumping margin
                                                          (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansol Paper Company...............................                0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties 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 Commerce 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 of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of 
this review. Because the weighted-average dumping margin for Hansol 
Paper Company (Hansol) is zero, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Hansol for which the 
reviewed company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the 
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was 
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP 
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 6.19 
percent),\5\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Order, 86 FR at 66286.
    \6\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 the company listed above will be zero, as 
established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously 
reviewed or investigated companies not covered by this review, the cash 
deposit 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 less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, 
then the cash deposit rate will be the 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.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Order, 86 FR at 66286.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility

[[Page 8792]]

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 occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
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: January 27, 2025.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
