Abstract
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have determined that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on coated paper suitable for high-quality print graphics using sheet-fed presses (coated paper) from Indonesia and the People's Republic of China (China) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. Therefore, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

Background
On November 17, 2010, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the AD and CVD orders on coated paper from China and Indonesia.\1\ On
December 1, 2021, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce initiated,\3\ the
second sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews,
Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to
the continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins and
net subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked.\4\ On
June 7, 2022, the ITC published its determinations, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the Orders
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to
an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by the Orders includes certain coated paper
and paperboard \6\ 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,\7\ 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ ``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.''
\7\ 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,
