SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 10, 2014, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results. We preliminarily found that dumping was likely to continue or 
recur if the AD order were revoked, and determined to report to the 
International Trade Commission (ITC) the rates calculated in the LTFV 
Final \2\ as the margins of dumping likely to prevail.

thermal paper, on April 1, 2014, and rebuttal briefs from these parties
