    On October 17, 2013, Navneet Education submitted a request for a 
CCR asking the Department to find that Navneet Education is the 
successor-in-interest to Navneet Publications.\2\ On

[[Page 59218]]

May 16, 2014, Navneet Education submitted a revised CCR request 
updating the period covered by the original CCR request for purposes of 
determining countervailing duties liability as a result of the CLPP 
Order.\3\ On July 3, 2014, the Department published its Preliminary 
Results, in which it preliminarily determined that Navneet Education is 
the successor-in-interest to Navneet Publications for purposes of the 
Department's countervailing duty proceeding on certain lined paper 
products from India.\4\ The Department invited interested parties to 
comment on the Preliminary Results.\5\ We received no comments or 
requests for a hearing from interested parties.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the CLPP Order is certain lined paper 
products, typically school supplies (for purposes of this scope 
definition, the actual use of or labeling these products as school 
supplies or non-school supplies is not a defining characteristic) 
composed of or including paper that incorporates straight horizontal 
and/or vertical lines on ten or more paper sheets (there shall be no 
minimum page requirement for looseleaf filler paper). The products are 
currently classified under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 
the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 4811.90.9035, 4811.90.9080, 
4820.30.0040, 4810.22.5044, 4811.90.9050, 4811.90.9090, 4820.10.2010, 
4820.10.2020, 4820.10.2030, 4820.10.2040, 4820.10.2050, 4820.10.2060, 
and 4820.10.4000. Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, the written product description 
remains dispositive.\6\

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Because no parties submitted comments opposing the Department's 
Preliminary Results, and because there is no other information or 
evidence on the record that calls into question the Preliminary 
Results, the Department continues to find that Navneet Education is the 
successor-in-interest to Navneet Publications for the purpose of 
determining countervailing duty liability.

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    As a result of this determination, we find that Navneet Education 
should retain the cash deposit rate previously assigned to Navneet 
Publications (i.e., the 8.76 percent cash deposit rate currently 
assigned to Navneet Publications) in the most recently completed review 
of the countervailing duty order on certain lined paper products from 
India for Navneet Publications.\7\ However, because cash deposits are 
only estimates of the amount of countervailing duties to be assessed, 
changes in cash deposit rates are not made retroactively.\8\ Therefore, 
as stated in the Preliminary Results, no retroactive change will be 
made to Navneet Education's cash deposit rate, as Navneet Education 
requested.\9\ Consequently, the Department will instruct U.S Customs 
and Border Protection to collect estimated countervailing duties for 
all shipments of subject merchandise exported by Navneet Education and 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at the current 
cash deposit rate for Navneet Publications. This cash deposit 
requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
