Background

    On January 21, 2015, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, 
Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, 
Pittsburg, PA; Domtar Corporation, Ft. Mill, SC; Finch Paper LLC, Glen 
Falls, NY; P.H. Glatfelter Company, York, PA; and Packaging Corporation 
of America, Lake Forest, IL, alleging that an industry in the United 
States is materially injured or threatened with material injury by 
reason of LTFV and subsidized imports of certain uncoated paper from 
China and Indonesia and LTFV imports of certain uncoated paper from 
Australia, Brazil, and Portugal. Accordingly, effective January 21, 
2015, the Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 
701-TA-528-529 and antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1264-1268 
(Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of January 27, 2015 (80 FR 4311). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on February 11, 2015, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on March 11, 2015. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4522 (March 
2015), entitled Certain Uncoated Paper from Australia, Brazil, China, 
Indonesia, and Portugal (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-528-529 and 731-TA-
