1 ‘‘1Paperboard’ refers to Coated Paper that is 

heavier, thicker and more rigid than coated paper 

which otherwise meets the product description. In 

the context of Coated Paper, paperboard typically 

is referred to as 1cover,’ to distinguish it from 1text.’’’ 

2One of the key measurements of any grade of 

paper is brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter 

the paper the better the contrast between the paper 

and the ink. Brightness is measured using a GE 

Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of 

light off of a grade of paper. One is the lowest 

reflection, or what would be given to a totally black 

grade, and 100 is the brightest measured grade.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 9, 2010, we published our 

preliminary determination stating that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

coated paper from the PRC. See Certain 

Coated Paper Suitable For High–Quality 

Print Graphics Using Sheet–Fed Presses 

from the People’s Republic of China:

Duty Determination and Alignment of 

Final Countervailing Duty 

Determination with Final Antidumping 

Duty Determination, 75 FR 10774 

(March 9, 2010) (‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’). On March 23, 2010, 

Appleton Coated LLC, NewPage 

Corporation, S.D. Warren Company d/b/ 

a Sappi Fine Paper North America, and 

the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, 

Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 

Industrial and Service Workers 

International Union (collectively, 

‘‘Petitioners’’) filed a timely allegation of 

significant ministerial errors contained 

in the Department’s Preliminary 

Determination. No rebuttal comments 

were received. After reviewing the 

allegation, we have determined that the 

Preliminary Determination included 

significant ministerial errors. Therefore, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

we have made changes, as described 

below, to the Preliminary 

Determination. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of this investigation 

consists of Coated Paper, which are 

certain coated paper and paperboard1 in 

sheets suitable for high quality print 

graphics using sheet–fed presses; coated 

on one or both sides with kaolin (China 

or other clay), calcium carbonate, 

titanium dioxide, and/or other inorganic 

substances; with or without a binder; 

having a GE brightness level of 80 or 

higher;2 weighing not more than 340 

grams per square meter; whether gloss 

grade, satin grade, matte grade, dull 

grade, or any other grade of finish; 

whether or not surface–colored, 

surface–decorated, printed (except as 

described below), embossed, or 

perforated; and irrespective of 

dimensions. 

Coated Paper includes: (a) coated free 

sheet paper and paperboard that meets 

this scope definition; (b) coated 

groundwood paper and paperboard 

produced from bleached chemi–thermomechanical pulp (‘‘BCTMP’’) that meets 

this scope definition; and (c) any other 

coated paper and paperboard that meets 

this scope definition. 

Coated Paper is typically (but not 

exclusively) used for printing multi– 

colored graphics for catalogues, books, 

magazines, envelopes, labels and wraps, 

greeting cards, and other commercial 

printing applications requiring high 

quality print graphics. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

are imports of paper and paperboard 

printed with final content printed text 

or graphics. 

As of 2009, imports of the subject 

merchandise are provided for under the 

following categories of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’): 4810.14.11, 4810.14.1900, 

4810.14.2010, 4810.14.2090, 

4810.14.5000, 4810.14.6000, 4810.14.70, 

4810.19.1100, 4810.19.1900, 

4810.19.2010, 4810.19.2090, 

4810.22.1000, 4810.22.50, 4810.22.6000, 

4810.22.70, 4810.29.1000, 4810.29.5000, 

4810.29.6000, 4810.29.70. While 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive. 

Analysis of Alleged Significant 

Ministerial Error 

A ministerial error is defined in 19 

CFR 351.224(f) as ‘‘an error in addition, 

subtraction, or other arithmetic 

function, clerical error resulting from 

inaccurate copying, duplication, or the 

like, and any other similar type of 

unintentional error which the Secretary 

considers ministerial.’’ With respect to 

preliminary determinations, 19 CFR 

351.224(e) provides that the Department 

‘‘will analyze any comments received 

and, if appropriate, correct any 

significant ministerial error by 

amending the preliminary 

determination. . .’’ A significant 

ministerial error is defined as an error, 

the correction of which, singly or in 

combination with other errors, would 

result in: (1) a change of at least five 

absolute percentage points in, but not 

less than 25 percent of, the 

countervailable subsidy rate calculated 

in the original (erroneous) preliminary 

determination; or (2) a difference 

between a countervailable subsidy rate 

of zero (or de minimis) and a 

countervailable subsidy rate of greater 

than de minimis or vice versa. See 19 

CFR 351.224(g). 

We have determined that the 

Preliminary Determination contained 

ministerial errors with respect to Gold 

East Trading (Hong Kong) Company 

Limited, Gold East Paper (Jiangsu) Co., 

Ltd. and Gold Huasheng Paper Co., Ltd. 

(collectively, ‘‘Gold companies’’). 

Correction of these ministerial errors 

results in the Gold companies’ subsidy 

rate changing by more than five absolute 

points and not less than 25 percent of 

the originally calculated margin. Thus, 

the ministerial errors are significant 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(g). See 

Memorandum to Susan Kuhbach, 

Director, Office 1, AD/CVD Operations, 

entitled, ‘‘Ministerial Error Allegations’’ 

(May 24, 2010) for the analysis 

performed. This memorandum is on file 

in the Department’s Central Records 

Unit in Room 1117 of the main 

Department building. 

Amended Preliminary Determination 

Because the errors alleged by 

Petitioners regarding the countervailable 

subsidy rate calculation for the Gold 

companies are significant, we are 

amending the preliminary 

countervailing duty rate calculation for 

them pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e). In 

addition, the calculated All Others’ rate 

in the Preliminary Determination was 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 104 / Tuesday, June 1, 2010 / Notices 30371 

based on the simple average of the Gold 

companies’ and Shandong Sun Paper 

Industry Joint Stock Co., Ltd.’s and its 

affiliate’s, Yanzhou Tianzhang Paper 

Industry Co., Ltd., (collectively, ‘‘Sun 

Paper companies’’) subsidy rates. Thus, 

we have also amended the All Others’ 

rate to account for the change in the 

Gold companies’ subsidy rate. To that 

end, we calculated the simple average of 

the Gold companies’ revised subsidy 

rate and the Sun Paper companies’ 

subsidy rate, unchanged from the 

Preliminary Determination. 

As a result of corrections of 

ministerial errors, the amended 

preliminary net countervailable subsidy 

rates are as follows:

Suspension of Liquidation 

The collection of bonds or cash 

deposits and suspension of liquidation 

will be revised, in accordance with 

section 703(d) and (f) of the Act. 

Specifically, we will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to continue to suspend liquidation and 

to require a cash deposit or bond in the 

amounts indicated above, on all entries 

of coated paper from the PRC that are 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 703(f) of 

the Act, we have notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) 

of our amended affirmative preliminary 

determination. If our final 

countervailing duty determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

whether the imports covered by that 

determination are materially injuring, or 

threatening material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 703(f) 

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

351.224(e). 

Dated: May 21, 2010.
