Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the CLPP Order is certain lined paper 
products, typically school supplies (for purposes of this scope 
definition, the actual use of or labeling these products as school 
supplies or non-school supplies is not a defining characteristic) 
composed of or including paper that incorporates straight horizontal 
and/or vertical lines on ten or more paper sheets (there shall be no 
minimum page requirement for looseleaf filler paper). The products are 
currently classified under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 
the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 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.\10\

Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to

this changed circumstances review are addressed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of 
the issues which parties have raised, and to which we have responded in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice as an 
Appendix.
    The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on 
file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System 
(``ACCESS'').\11\ ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central Records 
Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In 
addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can 
be accessed directly at http://enforcement.ita.doc.gov/frn/index.html.

Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS'') to AD and CVD Centralized

The Final Rule changing the references to the Regulations can be 
found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    For the Preliminary Results, the Department found that Kokuyo was 
the successor-in-interest to Riddhi based on evidence on the record. 
For these final results, the Department continues to find that the 
business transfer from Riddhi to Kokuyo resulted in no significant 
changes to management, production facilities, supplier relationships, 
and customers with respect to the production and sale of the subject 
merchandise. Thus, we determine that Kokuyo operates as essentially the 
same business entity as Riddhi with respect to the subject merchandise.
    Accordingly, the Department determines that Kokuyo is the 
successor-in-interest to Riddhi for the purpose of determining 
antidumping duty liability.

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    As a result of this determination, we find that Kokuyo should 
receive the cash deposit rate previously assigned to Riddhi in the most 
recently completed review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
lined paper products from India. Consequently, the Department will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect estimated 
antidumping duties for all shipments of subject merchandise exported by 
Kokuyo and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
after the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at 
the current cash deposit rate for Riddhi, which is de minimis.\12\ This 
cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
