SUMMARY: On November 3, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on commodity matchbooks from India pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\1\ The Department has conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review for this order \2\ pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping as indicated in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 79 FR 65186 (November 3, 2014) (Notice of Initiation). \2\ See Commodity Matchbooks from India: Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 65737 (December 11, 2009). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATES: Effective March 11, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Crespo at (202) 482-3693, AD/CVD Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On November 3, 2014, the Department published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the antidumping duty order on commodity matchbooks from India pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.\3\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ Notice of Initiation, 79 FR at 65186. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Department received a notice of intent to participate from D.D. Bean & Sons Co. (D.D. Bean), a domestic interested party, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The company claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of a domestic like product in the United States. The Department received a complete substantive response to the notice of initiation from D.D. Bean within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties with respect to the order covered by this sunset review, nor was a hearing requested. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted an expedited (120- day) sunset review of the antidumping duty order on commodity matchbooks from India. Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by this order is commodity matchbooks, also known as commodity book matches, paper matches or booklet matches.\4\ Commodity matchbooks typically, but do not necessarily, consist of twenty match stems which are usually made from paperboard or similar material tipped with a match head composed of any chemical formula. The match stems may be stitched, stapled, or otherwise fastened into a matchbook cover of any material, on which a striking strip composed of any chemical formula has been applied to assist in the ignition process. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ Such commodity matchbooks are also referred to as ``for resale'' because they always enter into retail channels, meaning businesses that sell a general variety of tangible merchandise, e.g., convenience stores, supermarkets, dollar stores, drug stores and mass merchandisers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commodity matchbooks included in the scope of this order may or may not contain printing. For example, they may have no printing other than the identification of the manufacturer or importer. Commodity matchbooks may also be printed with a generic message such as ``Thank You'' or a generic image such as the American Flag, with store brands (e.g., Kroger, 7-Eleven, Shurfine or Giant); product brands for national or regional advertisers such as cigarettes or alcoholic beverages; or with corporate brands for national or regional distributors (e.g., Penley Corp. or Diamond Brands). They all enter retail distribution channels. Regardless of the materials used for the stems of the matches and regardless of the way the match stems are fastened to the matchbook cover, all commodity matchbooks are included in the scope of this order. All matchbooks, including commodity matchbooks, typically comply with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Safety Standard for Matchbooks, codified at 16 CFR 1202.1 et seq. The scope of this order excludes promotional matchbooks, often referred to as ``not for resale,'' or ``specialty advertising'' matchbooks, as they do not enter into retail channels and are sold [[Page 12802]] to businesses that provide hospitality, dining, drinking or entertainment services to their customers, and are given away by these businesses as promotional items. Such promotional matchbooks are distinguished by the physical characteristic of having the name and/or logo of a bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, club, caf[eacute]/coffee shop, grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue or individual establishment printed prominently on the matchbook cover. Promotional matchbook cover printing also typically includes the address and the phone number of the business or establishment being promoted.\5\ Also excluded are all other matches that are not fastened into a matchbook cover such as wooden matches, stick matches, box matches, kitchen matches, pocket matches, penny matches, household matches, strike- anywhere matches (aka ``SAW'' matches), strike-on-box matches (aka ``SOB'' matches), fireplace matches, barbeque/grill matches, fire starters, and wax matches. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ The gross distinctions between commodity matchbooks and promotional matchbooks may be summarized as follows: (1) If it has no printing, or is printed with a generic message such as ``Thank You'' or a generic image such as the American Flag, or printed with national or regional store brands or corporate brands, it is commodity; (2) if it has printing, and the printing includes the name of a bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, club, caf[eacute]/coffee shop, grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue, or individual establishment prominently displayed on the matchbook cover, it is promotional. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The merchandise subject to this order is properly classified under subheading 3605.00.0060 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Subject merchandise may also enter under subheading 3605.00.0030 of the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in this review are addressed in the ``Decision Memorandum for the Expedited First Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Commodity Matchbooks from India'' from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance (March 3, 2015) (Decision Memo), which is hereby adopted by this notice. The issues discussed in the Decision Memo include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margin of dumping likely to prevail if the order were revoked. The Decision Memo is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).\6\ ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov, and it is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memo can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed Decision Memo and the electronic version of the Decision Memo are identical in content. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the name of Enforcement and Compliance's AD and CVD Centralized Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS'') to AD and CVD Centralized Electronic Service System (``ACCESS''). The Web site location was changed from http://iaaccess.trade.gov to http://access.trade.gov. The Final Rule changing the references to the Regulations can be found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Results of Review Pursuant to section 752(c) of the Act, the Department determines that revocation of the antidumping duty order on commodity matchbooks from India would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that the magnitude of the margins of dumping that are likely to prevail are up to 66.07 percent. Notifications to Interested Parties This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective orders, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
