Certain Crepe Paper Products From the People's Republic of China:
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
DATES: Effective Date: May 13, 2010.
SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of
Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission
(``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain
crepe paper products from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'')
would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and
material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is
publishing a notice of continuation of the antidumping duty order.

Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3927.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 1, 2009, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on certain crepe paper products from the PRC
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the
Act''). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 74 FR 62748
(December 1, 2009).
As a result of its review, the Department determined that
revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain crepe paper
products from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence
of dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail should the order be revoked. See Certain
Crepe Paper Products From the People's Republic of China: Final Results
of Expedited Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order, 75 FR 15415
(March 29, 2010).
On April 30, 2010, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain
crepe paper from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States
within a reasonably foreseeable future. See Crepe Paper Products From
China Determination, 75 FR 24968 (May 6, 2010), and USITC Publication
4148 (April 2010), Crepe Paper Products from China: Investigation No.
731-TA-1070A (Review).
Scope of the Order
For purposes of the order, the term ``certain crepe paper''
includes crepe paper products that have a basis weight not exceeding 29
grams per square meter prior to being creped and, if appropriate,
flame-proofed. Crepe paper has a finely wrinkled surface texture and
typically but not exclusively is treated to be flame-retardant. Crepe
paper is typically but not exclusively produced as streamers in roll
form and packaged in plastic bags. Crepe paper may or may not be
bleached, dye colored, surface-colored, surface decorated or printed,
glazed, sequined, embossed, die-cut, and/or flame retardant. Subject
crepe paper may be rolled, flat or folded, and may be packaged by
banding or wrapping with paper, by placing in plastic bags, and/or by
placing in boxes for distribution and use by the ultimate consumer.
Packages of crepe paper subject to this order may consist solely of
crepe paper of one color and/or style, or may contain multiple colors
and/or styles. The merchandise subject to this order does not have
specific classification numbers assigned to them under the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). Subject merchandise
may be under one or more of several different HTSUS subheadings,
including: 4802.30; 4802.54; 4802.61; 4802.62; 4802.69; 4804.39;
4806.40; 4808.30; 4808.90; 4811.90; 4818.90; 4823.90; 9505.90.40. The
tariff classifications are provided for convenience and customs
purposes; however, the written description of the scope of this order
is dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of these determinations by the Department and the ITC
that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
[[Page 26920]]
and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to
section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby orders the
continuation of the antidumping order on certain crepe paper from the
PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect
antidumping duty cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of
entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the
continuation of the order will be the date of publication in the
Federal Register of this notice of continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department intends to initiate the next five-
year review of the order not later than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of continuation.
This five-year (sunset) review and this notice are in accordance
with section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: May 7, 2010.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Import Administration.
