SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 1, 2015, the Department initiated a sunset review of the 
CVD Order \1\ on coated paper from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On October 15, 
2015, the Department received a notice of intent to participate in the 
review on behalf of Verso Corporation (Verso), S.D. Warren Company d/b/
a Sappi North America (Sappi), Appleton Coated LLC (Appleton), and the 
United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 
Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC (USW) 
(collectively, the petitioners) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1). Verso, Sappi, and Appleton claimed interested party 
status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as domestic producers of the 
domestic like product. The USW claimed interested party status under 
section 771(9)(D) of the Act as a certified union or recognized union 
or group of workers which is representative of an industry engaged in 
the manufacture, production, or wholesale in the United States of a 
domestic like product.

Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses From the People's Republic of 
China: Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination 
and Countervailing Duty Order, 75 FR 70201 (November 17, 2010) (CVD 
Order).
    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year ``Sunset'' Review, 80 FR 59133 
(October 1, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department received adequate substantive responses collectively 
from the domestic industry within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 
CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not receive a substantive 
response from the Government of the PRC or any respondent interested 
party to the proceeding. Because the Department received no response 
from the respondent interested parties, the Department conducted an 
expedited review of this CVD Order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(l)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
    As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department has exercised its 
discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due to the recent 
closure of the Federal Government. All deadlines in this segment of the 
proceeding have been extended by four business days. The revised 
deadline for the final results of this expedited sunset review is now 
March 4, 2016.\3\

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, regarding

Closure During Snowstorm Jonas,'' dated January 27, 2016.
