SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is rescinding the
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain tissue
paper products from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the period
of review (POR) of March 1, 2012, to February 28, 2013, with respect to
AR Printing & Packaging (India) Pvt. Ltd. (ARPP), LF Products Pte. Ltd.
(LF Products), and Stone Sapphire (HK) Limited.\1\ This rescission is
based on the timely withdrawal of the requests for review by the only
interested party that requested the review of these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Department is also rescinding this review with respect
to any affiliates of ARPP, LF Products, or Stone Sapphire that may
have exported subject merchandise during the review period.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 1, 2013, the Department published a notice of opportunity
to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain tissue paper products from the PRC. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation;
Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 78 FR 13858 (March 1,
2013) (Opportunity Notice). In response, on April 1, 2013, the
petitioner \2\ timely requested an administrative review of entries of
the subject merchandise during the POR from ARPP, LF Products, and
Stone Sapphire.\3\ Therefore, on April 25, 2013, the Department
initiated a review of ARPP, LF Products, and Stone Sapphire. See
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 25418 (May 1, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioner is Seaman Paper Company of Massachusetts,
Inc.
\3\ March 31, 2013, is the deadline for submitting requests for
review as stated in the Opportunity Notice. See Opportunity Notice,
78 FR at 13859. However, because March 31, 2013, was a Sunday and
the Department of Commerce's operations were closed on that day, the
petitioner filed its request for review on the next business day,
April 1, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a letter dated July 30, 2013, the petitioner withdrew its
request for review of ARPP, LF Products, and Stone Sapphire. No other
parties requested a review.
Scope of the Order
The tissue paper products subject to the order are cut-to-length
sheets of tissue paper having a basis weight not exceeding 29 grams per
square meter.\4\ The merchandise subject to this order does not have
specific classification numbers assigned to them under the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States. Subject merchandise may be under
one or more of several different subheadings, including: 4802.30;
4802.54; 4802.61; 4802.62; 4802.69; 4804.31.1000; 4804.31.2000;
4804.31.4020; 4804.31.4040; 4804.31.6000; 4804.39; 4805.91.1090;
4805.91.5000; 4805.91.7000; 4806.40; 4808.30; 4808.90; 4811.90;
4823.90; 4820.50.00; 4802.90.00; 4805.91.90; and 9505.90.40. The tariff
classifications are provided for convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the scope of the order is
dispositive.

\4\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less
than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Tissue Paper
Products from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 16223 (March 30,
2005) for a complete description of the scope of the order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the 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.
Accordingly, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for review of
ARPP, LF Products, and Stone Sapphire. Because no other party requested
a review, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is
rescinding the entire administrative review of the antidumping duty
order on certain tissue paper products from the PRC for the period
March 1, 2012, to February 28, 2013.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility 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 the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction 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 the
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a) and
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: August 14, 2013.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
