    As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the 
countervailable subsidy rates to be:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Company                            Subsidy rate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Catalyst Paper Corporation (Catalyst)..  0.79 percent (de minimis)
Irving Paper Limited (Irving)..........  7.99 percent
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure and Public Comment

    The Department will disclose to parties to this proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with these preliminary results 
within five days publication of this notice.\3\ Interested parties may 
submit case briefs within 30 days of publication of these preliminary 
results and rebuttal briefs no later than five days after the deadline 
for filing case briefs.\4\ Rebuttal briefs must be limited to issues 
raised in the case briefs.\5\ Parties who submit case or rebuttal 
briefs are requested to submit with the argument: (1) A statement of 
the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and, (3) a table of

    Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to 19 CFR

expedited review, including the results of its analysis of issues 
raised in any written briefs, within 90 days after the date of

Cash Deposit Instructions

    Pursuant to section 19 CFR 351.214(k)(iii), the final results of 
this expedited review will not be the basis for the assessment of 
countervailing duties. Upon issuing the final results, the Department 
intends to instruct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties for the companies subject 
to this expedited review, at the rates shown above, on shipments of 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of 
this expedited review. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.214(k)(iv), however, if either Catalyst and/or Irving has a final 
estimated net subsidy rate that is zero or de minimis, they will be 
excluded from the order.
    This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(h) and (k).
