Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2018-2019, 84 FR 
60380 (November 8, 2019) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM) at 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 8, 2019, Commerce published the Preliminary Results. 
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.\3\ 
Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with 
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

proceeding, see Preliminary Results PDM.

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 \4\ 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 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.\5\

are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Final Results of the Review

    We made no changes from the Preliminary Results. Therefore, as a 
result of this review, we determine that the dumping margin for APRIL 
for the period March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2019 is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Ad valorem
                   Exporter/producer                     dumping  margin
                                                             (percent)

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). 
Because APRIL withdrew its participation from this review and reported 
no information to Commerce for this POR, we will instruct CBP to apply 
an assessment rate to all entries of merchandise produced and/or 
exported by APRIL equal to the dumping margin indicated above. 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 the rate shown 
above; (2) for previously reviewed or 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, a 
previous review, or the original less-than-fair value (LTFV) 
investigation, but the manufacturer is, then 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.\6\ These 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a 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 Commerce's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the 
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a 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.
