SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is revoking the countervailing duty (CVD) order on supercalendered paper (SC paper) from Canada. DATES : Applicable August 3, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emily Halle or Nicholas Czajkowski, AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482–0176 or (202) 482–1395, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On December 10, 2015, Commerce published the CVD Order on SC paper from Canada. 1 On March 21, 2018, Verso Corporation (Verso) (i.e., the petitioner) requested that Commerce conduct a changed circumstances review (CCR), pursuant to section 782(h)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(l)(i). Verso expressed a lack of interest in the enforcement or existence of the CVD Order, and requested the retroactive revocation of the CVD Order, effective August 3, 2015.2 Commerce published the initiation of this CCR on May 14, 2018.3 The parties to this proceeding provided comments on May 21, 2018. 4 On June 21, 2018, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.302(b), Commerce extended the time limit for completing this CCR.5 Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and Revocation of the Order Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g), Commerce may revoke an antidumping duty or CVD order, in whole or in part, based on a review under section 751(b) of the Act (i.e., a CCR). Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a CCR to be conducted upon receipt of a request which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review. Section 782(h)(2) of the Act gives Commerce the authority to revoke an order if producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product have expressed a lack of interest in the order. Section 351.222(g) of Commerce’s regulations provides that Commerce will conduct a CCR under 19 CFR 351.216, and may revoke an order (in whole or in part), if it concludes that: (i) Producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the order pertains have expressed a lack of interest in the relief provided by the order, in whole or in part; or (ii) if other changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation exist. Both the Act and Commerce’s regulations require that ‘‘substantially all’’ domestic producers express a lack of interest in the order for Commerce to revoke the order, in whole or in part.6 Commerce has interpreted ‘‘substantially all’’ to represent producers accounting for at least 85 percent of U.S. production of the domestic like product.7 In the Initiation VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:21 Jul 11, 2018 Jkt 244001 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\12JYN1.SGM 12JYN1 amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1 32269Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 134 / Thursday, July 12, 2018 / Notices Reviews; Preliminary Intent to Revoke Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 77 FR 67790, 67791 (November 14, 2012), unchanged in Honey from Argentina; Final Results of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Reviews; Revocation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 77 FR 77029 (December 31, 2012). 8 See Initiation Notice, 83 FR at 22249. 9 Id. 10 Supercalendering and soft nip calendering processing, in conjunction with the mineral filler contained in the base paper, are performed to enhance the surface characteristics of the paper by imparting a smooth and glossy printing surface. Supercalendering and soft nip calendering also increase the density of the base paper. 1 See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Activated Carbon from the People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 20988 (April 27, 2007). Notice, we stated that Verso’s request indicated it accounts for at least 85 percent of domestic production. 8 We received no comments concerning Verso’s claim regarding its production or otherwise indicating a lack of industry support with respect to this CCR. As noted in the Initiation Notice, Verso requested the revocation of this CVD Order because it is no longer interested in maintaining the CVD Order or in the imposition of duties on the subject merchandise as of August 3, 2015. 9 We conclude that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product, to which this CVD Order pertains, lack interest in the relief provided by the CVD Order. We find that the petitioner’s affirmative statement of no interest in the CVD Order constitutes good cause for the conduct of this review. On May 21, 2018, Commerce received comments from Verso, the Government of Canada, the Government of New Brunswick, the Government of Nova Scotia, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Quebec, Irving Paper Limited, Port Hawkesbury Paper L.P., Resolute FP Canada Inc., and Resolute FP US Inc. In a joint filing, these parties, who represent all of the interested parties to this proceeding, stated their agreement with the outcome proposed in the Initiation Notice. Moreover, the parties cited to 19 CFR 351.216(e), which provides that, when all parties agree to the outcome, Commerce will issue its final results of CCR within 45 days of the initiation. Accordingly, we are notifying the public that we are revoking the CVD Order, in whole. Based on Verso’s request that revocation be retroactive to August 3, 2015, and because we have not completed any administrative reviews of the CVD Order, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to discontinue the suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties, to liquidate all unliquidated entries that were entered on or after August 3, 2015, without regard to countervailing duties, and to refund all CVD cash deposits on all such merchandise, with applicable interest. Scope of the Order The product covered by the order is SC paper. SC paper is uncoated paper that has undergone a calendering process in which the base sheet, made of pulp and filler (typically, but not limited to, clay, talc, or other mineral additive), is processed through a set of supercalenders, a supercalender, or a soft nip calender operation.10 The scope of this order covers all SC paper regardless of basis weight, brightness, opacity, smoothness, or grade, and whether in rolls or in sheets. Further, the scope covers all SC paper that meets the scope definition regardless of the type of pulp fiber or filler material used to produce the paper. Specifically excluded from the scope are imports of paper printed with final content of printed text or graphics. Subject merchandise primarily enters under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 4802.61.3035, but may also enter under subheadings 4802.61.3010, 4802.62.3000, 4802.62.6020, and 4802.69.3000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Because we determine that there are changed circumstances that warrant the revocation of the CVD Order, in whole, we will instruct CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties, to liquidate all unliquidated entries that were entered on or after August 3, 2015, without regard to countervailing duties, and to refund all CVD cash deposits on all such merchandise, with applicable interest. Notification to Interested Parties This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/ destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. We are issuing and publishing these final results and revocation, in whole, and notice in accordance with sections 751(b) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), and 19 CFR 351.222.

The period of investigation is January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014. Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination. DATES : Effective Date: August 3, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dana Mermelstein or Shane Subler, AD/ CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–1391 and (202) 482–0189, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On March 18, 2015, the Department initiated this countervailing duty (CVD) investigation. 1 On April 15, in response to a request from the petitioner, the Coalition for Fair Paper Imports,2 the Department postponed the preliminary determination in the CVD investigation.3 Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is SC paper. For a complete description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix 1 to this notice. Methodology The Department is conducting this CVD investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 The list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix 2 to this notice. 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, and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at http:// enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. For this preliminary determination, we have relied partially on facts available for Resolute, because the company did not act to the best of its ability when responding to the Department’s request for information. Further, we have drawn an adverse inference in selecting from among the facts otherwise available to calculate the ad valorem rate for Resolute.5 For further information, see ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. In accordance with section 703(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, we calculated a CVD rate for each individually investigated producer/exporter of the subject merchandise. Preliminary Determination and Suspension of Liquidation We preliminarily determine the countervailable subsidy rates to be: Company Subsidy rate (percent) Port Hawkesbury Paper LP (Port Hawkesbury) ............ 20.33 Resolute FP Canada Inc. (Resolute) .......................... 2.04 All Others .............................. 11.19 In accordance with sections 703(d)(1)(B) and (2) of the Act, we are directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all entries of SC paper from Canada that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, and to require a cash deposit for such entries of merchandise in the amounts indicated above. In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated a rate for each company respondent. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states that, for companies not individually investigated, we will determine an ‘‘all others’’ rate equal to the weighted- average countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis countervailable subsidy rates, and any rates determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Notwithstanding the language of section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act, we have not calculated the ‘‘all others’’ rate by weight averaging the rates of Port Hawkesbury and Resolute because doing so risks disclosure of proprietary VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:35 Jul 31, 2015 Jkt 235001 PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\03AUN1.SGM 03AUN1 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 45952 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 148 / Monday, August 3, 2015 / Notices 6 We have calculated the simple average of the two responding firm’s rates for the all-others rate using the following calculation: (20.33 (Port Hawkesbury’s calculated rate) + 2.04 (Resolute’s calculated rate))/2 = 11.19 (the all others rate). 7 See 19 CFR 351.224(b). 8 See 19 CFR 351.309(c) and (d). 9 See 19 CFR 351.510. 1 Supercalendering and soft nip calendering processing, in conjunction with the mineral filler contained in the base paper, are performed to enhance the surface characteristics of the paper by imparting a smooth and glossy printing surface.

Therefore, we calculated a simple average of Port Hawkesbury’s and Resolute’s rates.6 Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, we intend to verify the information submitted by the respondents prior to making our final determination. Disclosure and Public Comment The Department intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with this preliminary determination within five days of its public announcement. 7 Interested parties may submit case and rebuttal briefs, 8 and request a hearing.9 For a schedule of the deadlines for filing case briefs, rebuttal briefs, and hearing requests, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification In accordance with section 703(f) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of our determination. In addition, we are making available to the ITC all non- privileged and non-proprietary information relating to this investigation. We will allow the ITC access to all privileged and business proprietary information in our files, provided the ITC confirms that it will not disclose such information, either publicly or under an administrative protective order, without the written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. In accordance with section 705(b)(2) of the Act, if our final determination is affirmative, the ITC will make its final determination within 45 days after the Department makes its final determination. This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 703(f) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(c). Dated: July 27, 2015. Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix 1 Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation is supercalendered paper (SC paper). SC paper is uncoated paper that has undergone a calendering process in which the base sheet, made of pulp and filler (typically, but not limited to, clay, talc, or other mineral additive), is processed through a set of supercalenders, a supercalender, or a soft nip calender operation.1 The scope of this investigation covers all SC paper regardless of basis weight, brightness, opacity, smoothness, or grade, and whether in rolls or in sheets. Further, the scope covers all SC paper that meets the scope definition regardless of the type of pulp fiber or filler material used to produce the paper. Specifically excluded from the scope are imports of paper printed with final content of printed text or graphics. Subject merchandise primarily enters under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 4802.61.3035, but may also enter under subheadings 4802.61.3010, 4802.62.3000, 4802.62.6020, and 4802.69.3000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the investigation is dispositive.

Background Each year during the anniversary month of the publication of an antidumping or countervailing duty order, finding, or suspended investigation, an interested party, as defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), may request, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213, that the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) conduct an administrative review of that antidumping or countervailing duty order, finding, or suspended investigation. All deadlines for the submission of comments or actions by the Department discussed below refer to the number of calendar days from the applicable starting date. Respondent Selection In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews initiated pursuant to requests made for the orders identified below, the Department intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S. imports during the period of review. We intend to release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO within five days of publication of the initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent selection within 21 days of publication of the initiation Federal Register notice. Therefore, we encourage all parties interested in commenting on respondent selection to submit their APO applications on the date of publication of the initiation notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection within five days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the review. In the event the Department decides it is necessary to limit individual examination of respondents and conduct respondent selection under section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: In general, the Department finds that determinations concerning whether particular companies should be ‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single entity for purposes of calculating antidumping duty rates) require a substantial amount of detailed information and analysis, which often require follow-up questions and analysis. Accordingly, the Department will not conduct collapsing analyses at the respondent selection phase of this review and will not collapse companies at the respondent selection phase unless VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:35 Jul 31, 2015 Jkt 235001 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\03AUN1.SGM 03AUN1 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === Determination – CVD – Final - Canada === 63535Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 202 / Tuesday, October 20, 2015 / Notices 1 See Supercalendered Paper from Canada: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 80 FR 45951 (August 3, 2015) (Preliminary Determination), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 2 See Memorandum from Gary Taverman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, regarding ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Final Determination in the Countervailing Duty Investigation of Supercalendered Paper from Canada,’’ dated concurrently with this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). and the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background The petitioner in this investigation is the Coalition for Fair Paper Imports. The Coalition for Fair Paper Imports is composed of Madison Paper Industries and Verso Corporation. In addition to the Government of Canada, the mandatory respondents in this investigation are (1) Port Hawkesbury Paper LP, 6879900 Canada Inc., Port Hawkesbury Investments Ltd., Port Hawkesbury Paper GP, Port Hawkesbury Paper Holdings Ltd., Port Hawkesbury Paper Inc., and Pacific West Commercial Corporation (collectively, Port Hawkesbury); and (2) Resolute FP Canada Inc., Fibrek General Partnership, Forest Products Mauricie LP, Produits Forestiers Petit-Paris Inc., and Socie´te´ en Commandite Scierie Opitciwan (collectively, Resolute).

Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is SC paper. For a complete description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix 1 to this notice. Methodology The Department conducted this countervailing duty investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The subsidy programs under investigation and the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues that parties have raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice as Appendix 2. Based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at verification, we made certain changes to the respondents’ subsidy rate calculations since the Preliminary Determination. For this determination, we have relied partially on facts available for Resolute. Further, we have drawn an adverse inference in selecting from among the facts otherwise available to calculate the ad valorem rate for Resolute, because the company did not act to the best of its ability when responding to the Department’s request for information.3 For further information, see ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated a rate for each individually investigated respondent company. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states that, for companies not individually investigated, we will determine an ‘‘all others’’ rate equal to the weighted- average countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis countervailable subsidy rates, and any rates determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Notwithstanding the language of section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act, we have calculated the ‘‘all others’’ rate as a weighted average of the rates of Port Hawkesbury and Resolute, using the publicly ranged values for each company’s exports of subject merchandise to the United States to calculate the weighted average, because to use the actual sales values risks disclosure of proprietary information.4 We determine the countervailable subsidy rates to be: Company Subsidy rate (percent) Port Hawkesbury ........................ 20.18 Resolute ...................................... 17.87 All Others .................................... 18.85 As a result of our Preliminary Determination, and pursuant to section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise from Canada that were entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 3, 2013, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register, and to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duty at the rates determined in the Preliminary Determination. In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, we are directing CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all imports of the subject merchandise from Canada that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. We are also directing CBP to collect cash deposit of estimated countervailing duty at the rates identified above. We will issue a countervailing duty order pursuant to section 706(a) of the Act if the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination. If the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury, does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and all estimated duties deposited or securities posted as a result of the suspension of liquidation will be refunded or canceled. ITC Notification In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of our determination. In addition, we are making available to the ITC all non- privileged and non-proprietary information related to this investigation. We will allow the ITC access to all privileged and business proprietary information in our files, provided the ITC confirms that it will not disclose such information, either publicly or under an administrative protective order (APO), without the written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information In the event that the ITC issues a final negative injury determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/ destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 705(d) and 777(i) of the Act. Dated: October 13, 2015. Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

United States Summary On August 3, 2015, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT or Court) granted the request of the Department of Commerce (Department) for a voluntary remand in the above-referenced proceeding. 1 The Remand Order involves a challenge to the Department’s final determination in a proceeding conducted under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Section 129) related to the Department’s final affirmative antidumping duty (AD) determination on circular welded carbon quality steel pipe (CWP) from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for the period October 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007. 2 The CIT granted the Department’s request for a voluntary remand ‘‘in light of Commerce’s remand redetermination in Wheatland Tube Co. v. United States, Consol. Court No. 12–00298, Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand, April 27, 2015, ECF No. 70’’ (CVD Remand Redetermination), which dealt with the companion CWP countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding.3 In the CVD Remand Redetermination, the Department found ‘‘that there is no basis for making an adjustment to the companion AD rates under’’ 19 U.S.C. 1677f–1(f), because no party in the companion CVD proceeding responded to the Department’s request for information concerning the issue of ‘‘double remedies.’’ In light of the CVD Remand Redetermination, we have reconsidered our finding regarding the double remedies adjustment afforded to respondents in the underlying AD proceeding, and found that there is no basis for making an adjustment to the AD rates under 19 U.S.C. 1677f–1(f). As such, in the draft redetermination, we denied the adjustment that we granted the respondents in the Final Determination Memorandum.

J.R. Simplot Company, Civil Action No. 1:15–cv–00562–CWD. The consent decree would resolve the claims of the United States, the State of Idaho, and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) against J.R. Simplot Company (Simplot) for injunctive relief and civil penalties for alleged violations of the New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration (NSR/PSD) and Title V provisions of the Clean Air Act, at Simplot’s five sulfuric acid manufacturing plants located in or near Lathrop, California, Pocatello, Idaho, and Rock Springs, Wyoming. The consent decree would require Simplot to comply with specified numerical emission limitations, including requirements applicable at all times at all five plants to comply with year- round emission limitations for sulfur dioxide (SO2) and with good air pollution control practices. The consent decree also includes numerical emission limitations that apply to emissions of sulfuric acid mist and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) at one of the Pocatello, Idaho plants at which the complaint alleged violations with respect to these pollutants. The consent decree would require Simplot to pay a civil penalty of $899,000, and to contribute $200,000 to a program operated by the SJVAPCD that incentivizes the replacement of old wood or pellet-burning devices with new, cleaner hearth options to reduce emissions of PM2.5, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, and hazardous air pollutants. The consent decree would resolve Simplot’s liability for past violations of NSR/PSD alleged in the complaint, as well any related liability under Title V and New Source Performance Standards requirements, at Simplot’s five sulfuric acid plants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On October 20, 2015, the Department published its final affirmative determination in the countervailing duty investigation of SC paper from Canada. 1 On December 3, 2015, the ITC notified the Department of its final determination pursuant to section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of subject merchandise from Canada.2 Scope of the Order The product covered by this order is SC paper. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see Appendix 1 to this notice. Countervailing Duty Order In accordance with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Act, the ITC has notified the Department of its final determination that the industry in the United States producing SC paper is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of SC paper from Canada. Therefore, in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, we are publishing this countervailing duty order. As a result of the ITC’s final determination, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by the Department, countervailing duties on unliquidated entries of SC paper from Canada entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 3, 2015, the date on which the Department published its preliminary countervailing duty determination in the Federal Register,3 and before December 1, 2015, the date on which the Department instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act. Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation pursuant to a preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. Therefore, entries of SC paper made on or after December 1, 2015, and prior to the date of publication of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal Register are not liable for the assessment of countervailing duties due to the Department’s discontinuation, effective December 1, 2015, of the suspension of liquidation. Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 706 of the Act, the Department will direct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of SC paper from Canada, effective the date of publication of the ITC’s notice of final determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by the Department pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates for the subject merchandise. On or after the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates noted below: Company Subsidy rate (percent) Port Hawkesbury Paper LP, 6879900 Canada Inc., Port Hawkesbury Investments Ltd., Port Hawkesbury Paper GP, Port Hawkesbury Paper Holdings Ltd., Port Hawkesbury Paper Inc., and Pacific West Commercial Corporation (collectively, Port Hawkesbury) ........................................................................................................................................................................................ 20.18 Resolute FP Canada Inc., Fibrek General Partnership, Forest Products Mauricie LP, Produits Forestriers Petit-Paris Inc., and Socie´ te´ en Commandite Scierie Opitciwan (collectively, Resolute) .................................................................................................... 17.87 All Others ................................................................................................................................................................................................. 18.85 This notice constitutes the countervailing duty order with respect to SC paper from Canada pursuant to section 706(a) of the Act.
