Analysis of Subsidy Programs and
Comments Received
The subsidy programs under
investigation and the issues raised in
the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in
this investigation are discussed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum,
dated concurrently with this notice. A
list of the issues that parties raised, and
to which we responded in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum, is attached
to this notice as Appendix II.
Final Determination and Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated
a rate for PT Anugrah Kertas Utama
(AKU) and APRIL Fine Paper Macao
Commercial Offshore Limited (AFPM)
(collectively, the APRIL companies).
Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states
that, for companies not individually
investigated, we will determine an ‘‘allothers’’ rate equal to the weightedaverage countervailable subsidy rates
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero and de minimis countervailable
subsidy rates, and any rates determined
entirely under section 776 of the Act.
Where the rates for investigated
companies are zero or de minimis, or
based entirely on facts otherwise
available, section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the
Act instructs the Department to
establish an ‘‘all-others’’ rate using ‘‘any
reasonable method.’’ As discussed
above, we determined Great Champ’s
and IK’s/TK’s rates based entirely on
AFA in accordance with sections 776(a)
and (b) of the Act. Therefore, we used
the rate calculated for the APRIL
companies as the ‘‘all-others’’ rate. We
intend to disclose to parties the
calculations performed in this
proceeding within five days of the
public announcement of this final
determination in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
We determine the countervailable
subsidy rates to be:

The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic

Memorandum are identical in content.
For purposes of this final
determination, we continue to rely on
facts available and to draw an adverse
inference, in accordance with sections
776(a) and (b) of the Act, to determine
the subsidy rates for Great Champ
Trading Limited (Great Champ) and
Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper TBK (IK) and
Pabrik Kertas Tjiwi Kimia (TK) 3
because these companies failed to
participate in this investigation and the
Government of Indonesia (GOI) failed to
provide requested information with
respect to certain programs upon which
we initiated an investigation.4
3 We found IK, TK, and PT Pindo Deli Pulp and
Paper Mills to be cross-owned and, therefore, are
assigning them a single countervailing duty rate.

In accordance with section 703(d) of
the Act, we later issued instructions to
CBP to discontinue the suspension of
liquidation for CVD purposes for subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, on or after October 27,
2015, but to continue the suspension of
liquidation of all entries from June 29,
2015, through October 26, 2015, as
appropriate.
We will issue a CVD order and
reinstate the suspension of liquidation
in accordance with our final
determination and under section 706(a)
of the Act if the United States
International Trade Commission (ITC)
issues a final affirmative injury
determination, and we will instruct CBP
to require a cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties for such entries of
merchandise in the amounts indicated
above. If the ITC determines that
material injury, or threat of material
injury, does not exist, this proceeding
will be terminated and all estimated
duties deposited as a result of the
suspension of liquidation will be
refunded.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
Notification
In accordance with section 705(d) of
the Act, we will notify the ITC of our
determination. In addition, we are
making available to the ITC all nonprivileged and non-proprietary
information related to this investigation.
We will allow the ITC access to all
privileged and business proprietary

ITC confirms that it will not disclose
such information, either publicly or

Appendix II
List of Topics Discussed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum
I. Summary
1 One of the key measurements of any grade of
paper is brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter
the paper the better the contrast between the paper
and the ink. Brightness is measured using a GE
Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of
light off a grade of paper. One is the lowest
reflection, or what would be given to a totally black
grade, and 100 is the brightest measured grade.
‘‘Colored paper’’ as used in this scope definition
means a paper with a hue other than white that
reflects one of the primary colors of magenta,
yellow, and cyan (red, yellow, and blue) or a
combination of such primary colors.

Use of Facts Otherwise Available, Including Adverse Inferences
For purposes of this final determination, we continue to rely on

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, to determine the subsidy rates for
Great Champ Trading Limited (Great Champ) and Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper
TBK (IK) and Pabrik Kertas Tjiwi Kimia (TK) \3\ because these companies

Final Determination and Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we
calculated a rate for PT Anugrah Kertas Utama (AKU) and APRIL Fine
Paper Macao Commercial Offshore Limited (AFPM) (collectively, the APRIL
companies). Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states that, for
companies not individually investigated, we will determine an ``all-
others'' rate equal to the weighted-average countervailable subsidy
rates established for exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis countervailable subsidy
rates, and any rates determined entirely under section 776 of the Act.
Where the rates for investigated companies are zero or de minimis, or
based entirely on facts otherwise available, section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii)
of the Act instructs the Department to establish an ``all-others'' rate
using ``any reasonable method.'' As discussed above, we determined
Great Champ's and IK's/TK's rates based entirely on AFA in accordance
with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. Therefore, we used the rate
calculated for the APRIL companies as the ``all-others'' rate. We
intend to disclose to parties the calculations performed in this
proceeding within five days of the public announcement of this final
determination in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
