Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On October 18, 2016, The Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') published its initiation and preliminary results of a 
changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty (``AD'') order on 
certain uncoated paper from Portugal. The Department preliminarily 
determined that The Navigator Company, S.A. and Navigator Fine Paper, 
S.A. (collectively ``Navigator'') is the successor in interest to 
Portucel, S.A. and Portucel Soporcel Fine Paper, S.A. (collectively 
``Portucel'') for purposes of the AD order and, as such, is entitled to 
Portucel's cash deposit rate with respect to entries of subject 
merchandise. We invited interested parties to comment on the 
preliminary results. As no parties submitted comments, and there is no 
additional information or evidence on the record, the Department is 
making no changes to the Preliminary Results.

DATES: Effective November 23, 2016.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is certain uncoated paper. The 
product is currently classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (HTSUS) categories 4802.56.1000, 4802.56.2000, 
4802.56.3000, 4802.56.4000, 4802.56.6000, 4802.56.7020, 4802.56.7040,

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Because no party submitted a case brief in response to the 
Department's Preliminary Results, and because the record contains no 
other information or evidence that calls into question the Preliminary 
Results, the Department continues to find that Navigator is the 
successor-in-interest to Portucel, and is entitled to Portucel's cash 
deposit rate with respect to entries of merchandise subject to the AD 
order on uncoated paper from Portugal.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For a complete discussion of the Department's findings, 
which remain unchanged in these final results and which are herein 
incorporated by reference and adopted by this notice, see generally 
(Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions to U.S. and Border Protection

    Based on these final results, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to collect estimated ADs for all shipments of subject 
merchandise exported by Navigator and entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice in the Federal Register at the current AD cash deposit rate for 
Portucel (i.e., 7.80 percent). This cash deposit requirement shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
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
