Scope of the measure

The merchandise subject to the Orders includes uncoated paper in sheet form; weighing at least 40 grams per square meter but not more than 150 grams per square meter; that either is a white paper with a GE brightness level of 85 or higher or is a colored paper; whether or not surface-decorated, printed (except as described below), embossed, perforated, or punched; irrespective of the smoothness of the surface; and irrespective of dimensions (Certain Uncoated Paper). For a full description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. See Memorandum, ``Preliminary Decision Memorandum for Anti- Circumvention Inquiry of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Uncoated Paper from Indonesia: Uncoated Paper Rolls,'' dated concurrently, and hereby adopted, with this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). Merchandise Subject to the Anti-Circumvention Inquiries These anti-circumvention inquiries cover certain uncoated paper rolls that are commonly, but not exclusively, known as ``sheeter rolls,'' from Indonesia that are further processed in the United States into individual sheets of uncoated paper that would be subject to the Orders (i.e., paper that weighs at least 40 grams per square meter but not more than 150 grams per square meter; and that either is a white paper with a GE brightness level of 83 +/-1% or higher or is a colored paper (as defined in the ``Scope'' of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum)), except as noted below. The uncoated paper rolls covered by these inquiries are able to be converted into sheets of uncoated paper using specialized cutting machinery prior to printing, and are typically, but not exclusively, between 52 and 103 inches wide and 50 inches in diameter. For clarity, we herein refer to ``subject-paper rolls'' when referencing the certain uncoated paper rolls that may be converted into subject merchandise. Subject-paper rolls are classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule category 4802.55. See Initiation Notice, 84 FR at 55917. Certain importers of subject-paper rolls that will not be converted into subject merchandise may certify that the subject-paper rolls will not be further processed into subject merchandise covered by the scope of the Orders. Failure to comply with the requisite certification requirement may result in the merchandise being found subject to AD/CVD duties. Methodology Commerce made these preliminary findings of circumvention in accordance with section 781(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.225(g). We relied on information placed on the record by petitioners, respondents, and other interested parties. Further, because CellMark and the non-responsive converters did not cooperate by failing to respond to the best of their abilities to Commerce's requests for information, we have used adverse inferences, either in whole or in part, when selecting from among the facts otherwise available on the record for certain aspects of these preliminary determinations, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. The petitioners are: Domtar Corporation; Packaging Corporation of America; North Pacific Paper Company; Finch Paper LLC; and the United Steel, Paper, and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union. See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at Section VII. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov . In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/ . The signed and electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached at Appendix I to this notice. Affirmative Preliminary Determinations of Circumvention Based on our analysis, as detailed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we preliminarily find, pursuant to section 781(a) of the Act, that imports from Indonesia of uncoated paper rolls that meet the description of inquiry merchandise above (i.e., subject-paper rolls) that are further processed in the United States into subject merchandise are circumventing the Orders. To administer these affirmative circumvention determinations, Commerce is requiring that importers of certain paper rolls from Indonesia that otherwise match the physical description of subject- paper rolls and will not be further processed into uncoated paper sheets subject to the Orders certify that the merchandise will not be further processed into subject uncoated paper sheets. Importers of such merchandise will be required to certify and maintain their certifications and supporting documentation to provide to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and/or Commerce upon request. Properly certified entries are not subject to AD/CVD duties under the Orders. Exemption from AD/CVD duties under the Orders is permitted only if the certification and documentation requirements specified in Appendices II and III are met. The importer certification is provided at Appendix III.
