SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Commerce published the Preliminary Results on November 14, 2019.\1\ 
On February 28, 2020, Commerce extended the deadline for these final 
results until May 12, 2020.\2\ For a complete description of events 
that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.\3\

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Preliminary 
Determination of No Shipments; 2017-2018, 84 FR 61887 (November 14,

Memorandum.

Administrative Review: 2017-2018,'' dated February 28, 2020.

Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018,'' dated concurrently with, 
and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the order is certain lined paper 
products from India. For a complete description of the scope of this 
order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily found that Lodha 
Offset Limited, Pioneer Stationery Private Limited, and Marisa 
International had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. 
Following the publication of the Preliminary Results, we received no 
comments from interested parties regarding these companies, nor has any 
party submitted record evidence which would call our preliminary 
determination of no shipments into question. Therefore, for the final 
results, we continue to find that these three companies had no 
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Accordingly, 
consistent with Commerce's practice, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing entries of 
merchandise produced by these three companies, but exported by other 
parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at 
the all-others rate.\4\

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain 
revisions to the preliminary margin calculations for Navneet and 
SAB.\5\ For Navneet, we used Navneet's comparison market sales to 
calculate NV rather than relying on constructed value.\6\ For SAB, we 
(1) revised SAB's rent payment to an affiliated party; (2) recalculated 
SAB's reported scrap offset, and (3) reversed the incorrect conversion 
for credit expenses from positive to negative.\7\

Final Results of the Review

    We have determined the following weighted-average dumping margins 
for the exporters or producers listed below for the POR: \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For the companies that were not selected for individual 
review, we assigned a rate based on the rates for the respondents 
that were selected for individual review, excluding any rates that 
are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. See 
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with 
these final results within five days after publication of these final 
results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in 
accordance with the final results of this review. For any individually-
examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de 
minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), Commerce will calculate importer-specific 
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of 
antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and 
the total entered value of the sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1). Where either a respondent's weighted-average dumping 
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer- or customer-specific ad 
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each 
respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for 
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction. As indicated above, for the 
companies that had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, 
we will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise 
produced by these companies, but exported by other parties, at the all-
others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction. We intend to issue liquidation 
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of 
this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate 
for the respondents noted above will be the rate established in the 
final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise 
exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this 
administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, 
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; 
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior 
review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, then the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently 
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the subject 
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or 
exporters will continue to be 3.91 percent, the all-others rate 
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\9\ These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Than Fair Value: Certain Lined Paper Products form the People's 
Republic of China; Notice of Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain Lined 
Paper Products from India, Indonesia and the People's Republic of

Products from India and Indonesia, 71 FR 56949, 56952 (September 28,

Notification to Importers

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

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the 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
