Improvement Act in 2008 and the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act in 2009—wholly or partly in

the United States a disappointing

OECD has noted that the user data they

States is from 2007 as they have no 

other current official data from the 

United States. Modifying the October 

CPS to include NTIA’s requested

Saccharin from the People’s Republic 

of China: Notice of Initiation of 

Changed Circumstances Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) has received 

information sufficient to warrant 

initiation of a changed circumstances 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on saccharin from the People’s Republic 

of China (‘‘PRC’’). Based upon a request 

filed by PMC Specialties Group, Inc. 

(‘‘PMCSG’’), the Department is initiating 

a changed circumstances review to 

determine whether the domestic 

industry is in fact no longer interested 

in this order and to potentially revoke 

the antidumping duty order in this 

proceeding. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 23, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 9, 2003, the Department 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order on saccharin 

from the PRC.1 On June 8, 2009, the 

Department published the continuation 

of antidumping duty order on saccharin 

from the PRC.2 On June 4, 2009, the 

Department received a request on behalf 

of PMCSG for a changed circumstances 

review to revoke the antidumping duty 

order on saccharin from the PRC. As 

part of its submission, PMCSG 

requested that the Department combine 

the notice of initiation with a 

preliminary determination to revoke the 

Saccharin Order. On July 9, 2009, the 

Department received a letter opposing 

the request for a changed circumstances 

review from Kinetic Industries 

(‘‘Kinetic’’).3 Kinetic claimed that it 

produces saccharin through a third 

party toller in the United States and that 

both parties, Kinetic and its toll 

producer, are interested parties as 

domestic producers of saccharin. Both 

Kinetic and its toll producer requested 

that the Department not issue an 

expedited preliminary determination in 

this changed circumstances review. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this 

antidumping duty order is saccharin. 

Saccharin is defined as a non–nutritive 

sweetener used in beverages and foods, 

personal care products such as 

toothpaste, table top sweeteners, and 

animal feeds. It is also used in 

metalworking fluids. There are four 

primary chemical compositions of 

saccharin: (1) Sodium saccharin 

(American Chemical Society Chemical 

Abstract Service (‘‘CAS’’) Registry 128– 

44–9); (2) calcium saccharin (CAS 

Registry 6485–34–3); (3) acid (or 

insoluble) saccharin (CAS Registry 81– 

07–2); and (4) research grade saccharin. 

Most of the U.S.-produced and imported 

grades of saccharin from the PRC are 

sodium and calcium saccharin, which 

are available in granular, powder, 

spray–dried powder, and liquid forms. 

The merchandise subject to this order is 

currently classifiable under subheading 

2925.11.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) and includes all types of 

saccharin imported under this HTSUS 

subheading, including research and 

specialized grades. Although the 

HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

Department’s written description of the 

scope of this order remains dispositive. 

Initiation of Changed Circumstances 

Review 

Pursuant to section 751(d) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

‘‘Act’’), the Department may revoke an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, in whole or in part, based on a 

review under section 751(b) of the Act 

(i.e., a changed circumstances review) 

where the Department determines that 

producers accounting for substantially 

all of the production of the domestic 

like product have expressed a lack of 

interest in the continuance of an order. 

Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a 

changed circumstances review to be 

conducted upon receipt of information 

concerning, or a request from an 

interested party for a review of, an 

antidumping duty order, which shows 

changed circumstances sufficient to 

warrant a review of the order. 

Additionally, section 751(b)(4) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216(c) state that the 

Department shall not conduct a review 

less than 24 months after the date of 

publication of notice of the final 

determination in the original 

investigation. As noted above, PMCSG 

filed its request for a changed 

circumstances review on June 4, 2009, 

well over 24 months after the 

publication of the final determination

and order. See Saccharin Order. The 

Department has determined that the 

request submitted by PMCSG is 

sufficient to warrant a changed 

circumstances review. 

In accordance with sections 751(d)(1) 

and 782(h)(2) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.216 and 351.222(g), a domestic 

producer of the like product, PMCSG, 

claims changed circumstances exist and 

has made an affirmative statement that 

no further interest exists in continuing 

the order on saccharin. PMCSG further 

alleges that it represents 100 percent of 

the domestic industry and that it 

accounts for all of the production of the 

domestic like product to which the 

order pertains. Based upon the 

statement of no interest by PMCSG, the 

Department has determined that there is 

sufficient information to conduct a 

changed circumstances review. 

However, in light of the opposition to 

the potential revocation, and Kinetic’s 

claim to be a domestic producer of the 

like product, the Department does not 

have sufficient information on the 

record of this changed circumstances 

review to determine that PMCSG 

accounts for substantially all (i.e., at 

least 85 percent) of the production of 

the domestic like product. Accordingly, 

we are initiating a changed 

circumstances review, but will not 

conduct an expedited changed 

circumstances review and preliminary 

determination, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3)(ii). The Department 

intends to issue questionnaires to 

Kinetic, the third party toller of 

Kinetic’s saccharin, and PMCSG to 

solicit relevant information and fully 

evaluate the request to revoke the 

antidumping duty order on saccharin 

from the PRC as well as the arguments 

against this revocation. 

The Department will issue 

questionnaires requesting additional 

information for the review and will 

publish in the Federal Register a notice 

of the preliminary results of the 

antidumping duty changed 

circumstances review, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(2) and (4), and 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(i). That notice will 

set forth a description of any action 

proposed. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(ii), interested parties will 

have an opportunity to comment on the 

preliminary results of review. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(e), the 

Department intends to issue the final 

results of its antidumping duty changed 

circumstances review not later than 270 

days after the date on which this review 

is initiated. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 28, 2006, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published in the Federal 

Register an antidumping duty order on 

certain lined paper products (CLPP) 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(PRC).1 On September 2, 2008, the 

Department published a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on CLPP from China. See Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation; 

Opportunity To Request Administrative 

Review, 73 FR 51272 (September 2, 

2008). On September 30, 2008, the 

Association of American School Paper 

Suppliers (Petitioner) requested that the 

Department conduct an administrative 

review of (1) Shanghai Lian Li Paper 

Products Co., Ltd. (Lian Li), and (2) the 

Watanabe Group, which consists of 

Watanabe Paper Products (Shanghai) 

Co., Ltd., Watanabe Paper Products 

(Lingqing) Co., Ltd., and Hotrock 

Stationery (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. 

(collectively, the Watanabe Group) for 

the period of review (POR) of September 

1, 2007 through August 31, 2008. 

On October 29, 2008, the Department 

initiated this review with respect to 

both requested companies. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Deferral of Administrative 

Review, 73 FR 64305 (October 29, 2008). 

On November 13, 2008, Lian Li 

submitted a letter certifying that it did 

not have any shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. The 

Department conducted an internal U. S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

data query on November 13, 2008, to 

investigate Lian Li’s claim, and found 

that Lian Li had made shipments to the 

United States during the POR, which 

were entered under the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) numbers for subject 

merchandise. See Memorandum to File 

from Joy Zhang titled ‘‘Internal Customs 

Data Query,’’ dated December 2, 2008. 

Therefore, on December 2, 2008, the 

Department issued a questionnaire to 

Lian Li. 

On January 9, Petitioner filed 

comments on Lian Li’s no shipment 

claim, asking the Department to request 

product samples from Lian Li. On 

January 29, 2009, Lian Li submitted 

product samples of the merchandise it 

exported to the United States during the 

POR, which Lian Li claimed were non– 

subject merchandise. On March 4, 2009, 

counsel for Petitioner inspected Lian 

Li’s product samples. See Memorandum 

to the File from Joy Zhang titled 

‘‘Inspecting the Product Samples by 

Counsel for the Association of American 

School Paper Supplies,’’ dated March 4, 

2009. 

On June 4, 2009, the Department 

published a notice extending the 

deadline for the preliminary results 

from for 120 days to September 30, 

2009. In this notice the Department also 

published its intent to rescind this 

administrative review in part with 

respect to Lian Li because the 

Department preliminarily determined 

that the product samples submitted by 

Lian Li and the Customs data 

demonstrated that Lian Li did not 

export subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR. See
