SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 18, 2016, the Department initiated a changed 
circumstances review and made a preliminary finding that Navigator is 
the successor-in-interest to Portucel and is entitled to Portucel's

also provided interested parties 14 days from the date of publication 
of the Preliminary Results to submit case briefs in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). No interested parties submitted case briefs or 
requested a hearing. On October 12, 2016, the Department issued draft

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is certain uncoated paper. The 
product is currently classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (HTSUS) categories 4802.56.1000, 4802.56.2000, 
4802.56.3000, 4802.56.4000, 4802.56.6000, 4802.56.7020, 4802.56.7040, 
4802.57.1000, 4802.57.2000, 4802.57.3000, and 4802.57.4000. Some 
imports of subject merchandise may also be classified under 
4802.62.1000, 4802.62.2000, 4802.62.3000, 4802.62.5000, 4802.62.6020,

and 4811.90.9080. While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 
and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the 
investigation is dispositive.\3\

(Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Because no party submitted a case brief in response to the 
Department's Preliminary Results, and because the record contains no 
other information or evidence that calls into question the Preliminary 
Results, the Department continues to find that Navigator is the 
successor-in-interest to Portucel, and is entitled to Portucel's cash 
deposit rate with respect to entries of merchandise subject to the AD 
order on uncoated paper from Portugal.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For a complete discussion of the Department's findings, 
which remain unchanged in these final results and which are herein 
incorporated by reference and adopted by this notice, see generally 
(Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions to U.S. and Border Protection

    Based on these final results, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to collect estimated ADs for all shipments of subject 
merchandise exported by Navigator and entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice in the Federal Register at the current AD cash deposit rate for 
Portucel (i.e., 7.80 percent). This cash deposit requirement shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice serves as a final 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 the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion 
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply 
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
