PVT Limited (Goldenplam), the respondent in this review, submitted

Period of Review

    The POR covered by this review is January 1, 2014, through December 
31, 2014.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is certain lined paper 
products. The products are currently classifiable under the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers: 
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. A full description of the 
scope of the order is contained in the Final Results IDM.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Final Results IDM at 3-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ministerial Errors

    Section 751(h) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(f) define a 
``ministerial error'' 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.'' The Department finds that 
the purported errors alleged by the petitioner constitute ministerial 
errors within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(f).\5\ Specifically, we 
committed certain ministerial errors with regard to the ``0.5 Percent 
Test,'' as described under 19 CFR 351.524(b)(2), and the benefit 
calculation performed in connection with import duty exemptions that 
Goldenpalm received under the Export Promotion of Capital Goods Scheme. 
For a complete discussion of these alleged errors, see the Response to 
Ministerial Error Allegations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Memorandum, ``Response to Ministerial Error Allegations 
in the Final Results'' (Response to Ministerial Error Allegations) 
dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), 
we are amending the Final Results.\6\ Specifically, we are amending the 
net subsidy rate for Goldenpalm. The

revised net subsidy rate is provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Final Results, 82 FR at 18113.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amended Final Results

    As a result of correcting the ministerial errors, we determine that 
Goldenpalm's total net countervailable subsidy rate for the period 
January 1, 2014, through December 31 2014, is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                             Net countervailable subsidy
       Producer/exporter from India                rate  (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goldenpalm Manufacturers PVT Limited......  8.30 percent ad valorem.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates/Cash Deposits

    The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the date of 
publication of these amended final results of review, to liquidate 
shipments of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by the 
respondent listed above entered, or withdrawn form warehouse, for 
consumption on or after January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014.
    The Department also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties, in the amount shown above 
for the company listed above on shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after April 
17, 2017, the date of publication of the Final Results. For all non-
reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash 
deposits at the most-recent company-specific or all-others rate 
applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

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 these results in accordance with 
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

    Dated: June 13, 2017.
