The Department of Commerce (the Department) has conducted an expedited review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on supercalendered paper (SC paper) from Canada. The period of review (POR) for which we are measuring subsidies is January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014. We determine that Irving Paper Limited received countervailable subsidies during the POR and that Catalyst received de minimis countervailable subsidies. As a result of this determination, we are excluding Catalyst from the countervailing duty order on SC paper from Canada.

Methodology

    The Department has conducted this CVD expedited review in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(k). For a full description of the 
methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum. The subsidy programs under review, and the issues raised in 
the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by the parties, are discussed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties 
raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, is attached to this notice at the Appendix.
    Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from 
parties, we made certain changes to Catalyst's and Irving's subsidy 
rate calculations since the Preliminary Results. For a discussion of 
these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum and the Final 
Calculation Memoranda.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Id; see also Department Memorandum, ``Final Results 
Calculations for Catalyst Paper'' (April 17, 2017); see also 
Department Memorandum, ``Final Results Calculations for Irving Paper 
Limited'' (April 17, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We calculated a CVD rate for each producer/exporter of the subject 
merchandise that requested an expedited review.

Final Results of the Expedited Review

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  Company                           Subsidy rate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Catalyst Paper Corporation (Catalyst).....  0.94 percent
                                            (de minimis).
Irving Paper Limited (Irving).............  5.87 percent.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Instructions

    Pursuant to section 19 CFR 351.214(k)(3)(iii), the final results of 
this expedited review will not be the basis for the assessment of 
countervailing duties. Upon the issuance of these final results, the 
Department will 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)(3)(iv), because we have determined a 
countervailable subsidy rate for Catalyst that is de minimis, with 
these final results of expedited review, we determine to exclude 
Catalyst from the countervailing duty order. The Department's practice 
with respect to exclusions of companies from a countervailing duty 
order is to exclude the subject merchandise both produced and exported 
by those companies.\5\ As a result, we will instruct CBP to discontinue 
the suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits of 
estimated countervailing duties on all shipments of SC paper produced 
and exported by Catalyst, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication of these final results. 
In addition, we will instruct CBP to liquidate, without regard to 
countervailing duties, all suspended entries of shipments of SC paper 
produced and exported by Catalyst, and to refund all cash deposits of 
estimated countervailing duties collected on all such shipments. 
Merchandise which Catalyst exports but does not produce, as well as 
merchandise Catalyst produces but is exported by another company, 
remains subject to the countervailing duty order.
