---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 1, 2021, Commerce published the notice of initiation of
the second expedited sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\4\ Commerce

parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\5\
The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as domestic producers engaged in the
production of certain coated paper in the United States.

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted expedited (120-day) sunset
reviews of the Orders.

Scope of the Orders
The scope of the Orders covers certain coated paper and paperboard
\7\ 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,\8\ 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 (certain coated paper).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ ``Paperboard'' refers to certain coated paper that is
heavier, thicker and more rigid than coated paper which otherwise
meets the product description. In the context of certain coated
paper, paperboard typically is referred to as ``cover,'' to
distinguish it from ``text.''
\8\ One 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain 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-thermo-mechanical
pulp (BCTMP) that meets this scope definition; and (c) any other coated
paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition.
Certain 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.
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,
