INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-528-529 and 731-TA-1264-1268 (Final)]


Certain Uncoated Paper From Australia, Brazil, China, Indonesia, 
and Portugal; Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of certain uncoated paper from Australia, Brazil, 
China, Indonesia, and Portugal, provided for in subheadings 4802.56 and 
4802.57 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that 
have been found by the Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold 
in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be 
subsidized by the governments of China and Indonesia.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
order on certain uncoated paper from Australia.

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)),

investigations following notification of a preliminary determinations 
by Commerce that imports of certain uncoated paper from Australia, 
Brazil, China, Indonesia, and Portugal were dumped within the meaning 
of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)) and were subsidized by the 
governments of China and Indonesia within the meaning of section 703(b)

were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections
