---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Supercalendered Paper from Canada: Final Results of the 
Countervailing Duty Expedited Review, 82 FR 18896 (April 24, 2017) 
(Final Results), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter Zukowski, AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 24, 2017, we received a timely ministerial error 
allegation from Catalyst Paper Corporation, Catalyst Pulp and Paper 
Sales Inc., Catalyst Paper (USA) Inc., and their affiliated companies 
(collectively Catalyst) regarding the Department's final subsidy rate 
calculations.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See letter to the Department, ``Supercalendered Paper from 
Canada: Catalyst's Ministerial Error Comments'' (April 24, 2017) 
(Catalyst Ministerial Error Allegation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ministerial Errors

    We analyzed Catalyst's ministerial error \3\ comments and 
determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that there was a 
ministerial error in our calculation of Catalyst's net subsidy rate for 
the Final Results.\4\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are 
amending the net subsidy rate for Catalyst from 0.94 percent (de 
minimis) to 0.93 percent (de minimis).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A ``ministerial error'' is defined by 19 CFR 351.224(f) as 
an error ``in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, 
clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or 
the like, and any similar type of unintentional error which the 
Secretary considers ministerial.''
    \4\ See ``Expedited Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on 
Supercalendered Paper from Canada: Allegations of Ministerial 
Errors,'' May 24, 2017 (Ministerial Error Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Instructions

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(k)(3)(iv), because we determined a 
countervailable subsidy rate for Catalyst that is de minimis, in the 
final results of the expedited review we excluded Catalyst from the 
countervailing duty order.\5\ Because Catalyst's rate remains de 
minimis, we will not issue new instructions to CBP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Final Results, 82 FR at 18897 (explaining that only 
merchandise produced and exported by Catalyst is excluded from the 
Order, and that the exclusion does not apply to merchandise produced 
by Catalyst and exported by any other company or merchandise 
produced by any other company and exported by Catalyst).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed for these amended final 
results to interested parties within five business days of the date of 
the publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b)
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(k) and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

    Dated: May 24, 2017.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
