SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 9, 2018, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\ 
Although we invited parties to comment on the preliminary results of 
the review,\2\ no interested party submitted comments. Accordingly, no 
decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. Commerce 
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Uncoated Paper from Indonesia: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2015-2017, 83 FR 
15129 (April 9, 2018) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
    \2\ See Preliminary Results, 83 FR at 15130.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise under review includes uncoated paper in sheet form; 
weighing at least 40 grams per square meter but not more than 150 grams 
per square meter; that either is a white paper with a GE brightness 
level \3\ of 85 or higher or is a colored paper; whether or not 
surface-decorated, printed (except as described below), embossed, 
perforated, or punched; irrespective of the smoothness of the surface; 
and irrespective of dimensions (Certain Uncoated Paper).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ One of the key measurements of any grade of paper is 
brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter the paper the better 
the contrast between the paper and the ink. Brightness is measured 
using a GE Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of light 
off a grade of paper. One is the lowest reflection, or what would be 
given to a totally black grade, and 100 is the brightest measured 
grade. ``Colored paper'' as used in this scope definition means a 
paper with a hue other than white that reflects one of the primary 
colors of magenta, yellow, and cyan (red, yellow, and blue) or a 
combination of such primary colors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Certain Uncoated Paper includes (a) uncoated free sheet paper that 
meets this scope definition; (b) uncoated ground wood paper produced 
from bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (BCTMP) that meets this 
scope definition; and (c) any other uncoated paper that meets this 
scope definition regardless of the type of pulp used to produce the 
paper.
    Specifically excluded from the scope are (1) paper printed with 
final content of printed text or graphics and (2) lined paper products, 
typically school supplies, composed of paper that incorporates straight 
horizontal and/or vertical lines that would make the paper unsuitable 
for copying or printing purposes. For purposes of this scope 
definition, paper shall be considered ``printed with final content'' 
where at least one side of the sheet has printed text and/or graphics 
that cover at least five percent of the surface area of the entire 
sheet.
    On September 1, 2017, Commerce determined that that imports of 
uncoated paper with a GE brightness of 83 +/- 1% (83 Bright paper), 
otherwise meeting the description of in-scope merchandise, constitute 
merchandise ``altered in form or appearance in minor respects'' from 
in-scope merchandise that are subject to this order.\4\

People's Republic of China, Indonesia, and Portugal: Affirmative 
Final Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Orders, 82 FR 41610 (September 1, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Imports of the subject merchandise are provided for 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, 4802.57.1000, 4802.57.2000, 4802.57.3000, 
and 4802.57.4000. Some imports of subject merchandise may also be 
classified under 4802.62.1000, 4802.62.2000, 4802.62.3000, 
4802.62.5000, 4802.62.6020, 4802.62.6040, 4802.69.1000, 4802.69.2000, 
4802.69.3000, 4811.90.8050 and 4811.90.9080. While HTSUS subheadings 
are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Analysis

    In the Preliminary Results, we determined that the sole mandatory 
respondent, APRIL,\5\ did not make sales of subject merchandise at 
prices below normal value during the POR. As no parties commented on 
the Preliminary Results, we are adopting the decisions outlined in the 
PDM in these final results of review. For additional details, see the 
PDM, which is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at http://access.trade.gov and in the Central Records 
Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In 
addition, a complete version of the PDM can be accessed directly on the 
internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed and 
the electronic versions of the PDM are identical in content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined to collapse, 
and treat as a single entity, the mandatory respondent, PT Anugerah 
Kertas Utama, PT Riau Andalan Kertas, and APRIL Fine Paper Macao 
Offshore Limited (collectively, APRIL), and its two affiliated 
parties, PT Sateri Viscose International and A P Fine Paper Trading 
(Hong Kong) Limited. The collapsed entity is hereinafter 
collectively referred to as APRIL. See Preliminary Results PDM at 3 
and 5-6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, we are assigning a dumping margin of 
zero to APRIL for the period August 26, 2015, through February 28, 
2017, as follows:

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Because APRIL's weighted-average dumping margin in the final results of 
this review is zero, we will instruct CBP to liquidate APRIL's entries 
without regard to antidumping duties. In addition, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by APRIL for which it did 
not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if 
there is no rate for the intermediate company or companies involved in 
the transaction. The all-others rate is 2.10 percent.\6\ We will also 
instruct CBP to take into account the ``provisional measures cap'' in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Certain Uncoated Paper from Australia, Brazil, 
Indonesia, the People's Republic of China, and Portugal: Amended 
Final Affirmative Antidumping Determinations for Brazil and 
Indonesia and Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 11174 (March 3, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the date of publication of these final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results 
of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for APRIL will be zero; (2) for 
previously-investigated companies not participating in this review, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review, or the original less-than-fair 
value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate established for the most recent segment for the 
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 2.10 percent, the 
all-others rate made effective by the LTFV investigation. These deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their 
responsibility, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. 
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping 
duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only 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 
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and sections 19 CFR 351.213(h) 
and 351.221(b)(5).
