Background
On February 15, 2018, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the
countervailing duty (CVD) investigation
of cast iron soil pipe from the People’s
Republic of China.1 Currently, the
preliminary determination is due no
later than April 23, 2018.
Postponement of the Preliminary
Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a CVD investigation

Republic of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty
Investigation, 83 FR 8047 (February 23, 2018).

within 65 days of the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, if the petitioner makes a
timely request for an extension of the
period within which the determination
must be made, Commerce may postpone
making the preliminary determination
until no later than 130 days after the
date on which it initiated the
investigation, pursuant to section
703(c)(1)(A) of the Act. The Cast Iron
Soil Pipe Institute (the petitioner) has
made a timely request to postpone the
preliminary determination, maintaining
that the current deadline does not
realistically provide Commerce with
adequate time to review the
questionnaire responses.2
In light of the request from the
petitioner, Commerce, in accordance
with section 703(c)(l)(A) of the Act, is
postponing the deadline for the
preliminary determination to no later
than 130 days after the day on which
Commerce initiated this investigation,
i.e., June 25, 2018. Pursuant to section
705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final
determination will continue to be 75
days after the date of the preliminary
determination, unless postponed.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 703(c)(2) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
uncoated paper (uncoated paper) from
Indonesia. The notice of initiation of
this administrative review was
published on May 9, 2017.1 We
rescinded the review of PT. Indah Kiat
Pulp and Paper Tbk, PT. Pabrik Kertas
Tjiwi Kimia Tbk, and Pindo Deli Pulp
and Paper Mills on August 11, 2017.2 As
a result, this review only covers APRIL,3
a producer and exporter of the subject
merchandise. The POR is August 26,
2015, through February 28, 2017.
Commerce exercised its discretion to
toll all deadlines affected by the closure
of the Federal Government from January
20 through January 22, 2018. As a result,
the revised deadline for the preliminary
results of this review is now April 3,
2018.4
We preliminarily determine that
APRIL has not made sales of subject
merchandise at less than normal value.
If these preliminary results are adopted

PT Riau Andalan Kertas, and APRIL Fine Paper
Macao Offshore Limited (collectively, APRIL) as a
mandatory respondent in this investigation.
Further, for these preliminary results, Commerce
preliminarily has determined to collapse, and treat
as a single entity, this company and two affiliated
parties, PT Sateri Viscose International and A P
Fine Paper Trading (Hong Kong) Limited. See

weighted-average dumping margin is
above de minimis in the final results of
this review, then pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), because APRIL reported
the entered value for all of its U.S. sales,
we intend to calculate an importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment
rate based on the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of those sales. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c), or an importer-specific rate
is zero or de minimis, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties. We intend to instruct CBP to
take into account the ‘‘provisional
measures cap’’ in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(d). In addition, for entries
of subject merchandise during the POR
produced by APRIL for which it did not
know its merchandise was destined for

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for APRIL will be that
established in the final results of this
review, except if the rate is less than
0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
previously investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash
deposit will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent segment for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and 4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 2.10
percent, the all-others rate made
effective by the LTFV investigation.16
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR

the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the

Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis raised in any written
briefs, not later than 120 days after the publication date of this
notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
If APRIL's weighted-average dumping margin remains zero or de
minimis in the final results of this review, then we intend to instruct
CBP to liquidate APRIL's entries without regard to antidumping duties.
If APRIL's weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis in the
final results of this review, then pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
because APRIL reported the entered value for all of its U.S. sales, we
intend to calculate an importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment
rate based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of those
sales. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an
importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties. We intend to instruct CBP to take into account the
``provisional measures cap'' in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d). In
addition, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
APRIL for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the
United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for
[[Page 15131]]
the intermediate company or companies involved in the transaction. The
all-others rate is 2.10 percent.\14\

Indonesia, the People's Republic of China, and Portugal: Amended
Final Affirmative Antidumping Determinations for Brazil and
Indonesia and Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 11174 (March 3, 2016)
(Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.\15\ We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of
this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for APRIL will be
that established in the final results of this review, except if the
rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate
will be zero; (2) for previously investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash deposit will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the most recently completed
segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or
the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and 4)
the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 2.10 percent, the all-others rate made effective by the
LTFV investigation.\16\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Dated: April 3, 2018.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
