  • December 4, 2017 the Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washi
    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.

The Postal Service Reform Act of 2017, HR 756, recently ordered reported by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee would do just that, and create a savings of $6.3 billion in the process, according to the Congressional Budget Office. We urge you to approve or otherwise move this bill forward as swiftly as you can. The Postal Service is the hub of a diverse mailing industry critical to the economy and the growing e- commerce sector so important to our economic recovery. The combined industry and its suppliers in paper, printing and technology, comprising hundreds of large companies and thousands of small businesses, employs 7.5 million Americans and generates $1.4 trillion in sales revenue.1 That is 4.6% of total U.S. output. Yet, the Postal Service teeters on the financial brink, threatening many of those jobs and the industry’s economic output. HR 756 would put the Postal Service on a firm path to financial stabilization and is a bipartisan- sponsored bill that enjoys broad bipartisan support. It was approved by OGR by voice on March 16. It has also managed the virtually unprecedented feat of uniting all of the Postal Service’s stakeholders – the mailing community, the postal unions, and the Service itself – in support.

  • ITC Testimony Regarding Newsprint Tariffs Roger F. Wicker, United States Senator, Mississippi Thank You. Mr. Chairman and Commis
    ITC Testimony Regarding Newsprint Tariffs Roger F. Wicker, United States Senator, Mississippi Thank you. Mr. Chairman and Commissioners, for this opportunity to testify today. I want to express my opposition to imposing permanent new anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper. I hope the ITC will vote to reject such new tariffs. The Petitioner, NORPAC, is the only domestic producer who claims these sanctions will protect domestic production of newsprint from Canada. An overwhelming majority of producers, including Resolute Forest Products, with newsprint operations in Mississippi, argues these sanctions are likely to harm domestic newsprint producers and their key customers. Let me reiterate: NORPAC is the only domestic producer that is arguing for sanctions. The imposition of costly tariffs, now close to 35 percent in some cases, is creating price volatility and supply challenges. Newspapers and printers, already navigating industry changes, will be put out of business. As I mentioned, Mississippi is home to one of the five mills in the United States that produces uncoated groundwood paper, also known as newsprint. This particular mill, in Grenada, Mississippi, employs over 160 workers with good-paying jobs and represents an annual economic impact of approximately $100 million. On top of the direct employment, it is estimated that more than 500 jobs are indirectly created by the mill. Additionally, the newsprint company continues to support the mill's future success, investing over $20 million into the facility. I want to see this mill thrive in the coming years, not close because tariffs chase away the already fragile market for newsprint.
