SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 10, 2015, the Department published the countervailing 
duty order on supercalendered paper from Canada.\1\

[[Page 6507]]

On December 15 and 16, 2015, the Department received requests from 
Catalyst and Irving, respectively, to conduct an expedited review of 
this countervailing duty order.\2\ Irving supplemented its request on 
January 6, 2015.\3\ Catalyst and Irving, companies that were not 
selected for individual examination during the investigation, made 
these requests pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(k).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Supercalendered Paper From Canada: Countervailing Duty 
Order, 80 FR 76668 (December 10, 2015).
    \2\ See letter from Catalyst, ``Supercalendered Paper from 
Canada: Catalyst's Request for Expedited Review,'' (December 15, 
2015). See also letter from Irving, ``Supercalendered Paper from 
Canada: Expedited Review Request of Irving Paper Limited Pursuant to 
19 CFR 351.214(k),'' (December 16, 2015).
    \3\ See letter from Irving, ``Supercalendered Paper from Canada: 
Supplement to Expedited Review Request of Irving Paper Limited 
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(k),'' (January 6, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initiation of Expedited Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(k)(1)(i)-(iii), Catalyst and 
Irving each certified that they exported the subject merchandise to the 
United States during the period of investigation; that they were not 
affiliated with an exporter or producer that the Department 
individually examined in the investigation; and that they informed the 
Government of Canada, as the government of the exporting country, that 
the government will be required to provide a full response to the 
Department's questionnaire.
    Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(k), we are initiating 
an expedited review of the countervailing duty order on supercalendered 
paper from Canada. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) and (k)(3), we 
intend to issue the preliminary results of this expedited review not 
later than 180 days from the date of initiation of this review.\4\ As 
specified by 19 CFR 351.214(k)(3)(i), the period of review will be the 
same as the original period of investigation, i.e., January 1, 2014, 
through December 31, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Under 19 CFR 351.214(k)(i)(2), this period may be extended 
to 300 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(k)(3)(iii), the final results of this 
expedited review will not be the basis for the assessment of 
countervailing duties. Instead, this expedited review is intended to 
establish individual cash deposit rates for Catalyst and Irving, or to 
exclude from the countervailing duty order a company for which the 
final results of review are zero or de minimis, as provided in 19 CFR 
351.214(k)(3)(iv).
    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
351.306.

    Dated: February 1, 2016.
Gary Taverman,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
