SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 13, 2018, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) published its
Final Results of the first administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on certain uncoated paper from
Portugal.1 Also on August 13, 2018, The
Navigator Company, S.A. (Navigator),
the respondent in this administrative
review, submitted comments alleging
ministerial errors in Commerce’s Final
Results.2 On August 22, 2018, United
Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber,
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial Service Workers International
Union, AFL–CIO, CLC (USW); and the
Packaging Corporation of America
(PCA) (collectively, the petitioners),
submitted a reply rebutting Navigator’s
ministerial error allegation.3 Following

Commerce reviewed the record and
agrees in part with Navigator that it
committed a ministerial error in our
application of AFA.4 In our Final
Results, Commerce commited an
inadvertent error within the meaning of
section 735(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930
(the Act) and 19 CFR 351.224(f).5
Therfore, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(e), Commerce is amending the
Final Results to reflect the correction of
this ministerial error in the calculation
of the final margin assigned to
Navigator, which changes from 37.34
percent to 1.75 percent.6
Commerce also agrees with Navigator
that we incorrectly published the period
of review (POR) in the ‘‘Final Results of
Review’’ section in the Final Results,
which should have been stated as the
period of August 26, 2015, through
February 28, 2017. These amended final
results of the review reflect the correct
POR throughout.
Amended Final Results of the Review
We determine that, for the period of
August 26, 2015, through February 28,
2017, the following weighted-average
dumping margin exists:

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculation

results in accordance with 19 CFR

Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.

In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Navigator for
which it did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate those entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date
of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of administrative review 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 Navigator will
be the rate established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 7.80
percent, the all-others rate established
in the investigation.7 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

The Petition
On September 21, 2018, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce)
received an antidumping duty (AD)
petition concerning imports of
aluminum wire and cable from the
People’s Republic of China (China),
filed in proper form on behalf of Encore
Wire Corporation (Encore) and
Southwire Company, LLC (the
PO 00000
Frm 00012

petitioners), domestic producers of
aluminum wire and cable.1 The AD
Petition was accompanied by a
countervailing duty (CVD) Petition
concerning imports of aluminum wire
and cable from China.
On September 25 and 26, 2018,
Commerce requested supplemental
information pertaining to certain aspects
of the Petition in two separate
supplemental questionnaires, one
dealing with general issues with the
Petition and the other with issues
related to Volume I and Volume II of the
Petition (i.e., the AD allegation).2 The
petitioners filed their combined
response to the supplemental
questionnaires on September 28, 2018.3
In accordance with section 732(b) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), the petitioners allege that imports
of aluminum wire and cable from China
are being, or are likely to be, sold in the
United States at less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) within the meaning of section
731 of the Act, and that such imports
are materially injuring, or threatening
material injury to, the domestic industry
producing aluminum wire and cable in
the United States. Consistent with
section 732(b)(1) of the Act, the Petition
is accompanied by information
reasonably available to the petitioners
supporting their allegation.
Commerce finds that the petitioners
filed the Petition on behalf of the
domestic industry because the
petitioners are interested parties as
defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act.
Commerce also finds that the petitioners
demonstrated sufficient industry
support with respect to the initiation of
the requested AD investigation.4
Period of Investigation
Because China is a non-market
economy (NME) country, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.204(b)(1), the period of
investigation (POI) is January 1, 2018,
through June 30, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 13, 2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published
its Final Results of the first administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on certain uncoated paper from Portugal.\1\ Also on August
13, 2018, The Navigator Company, S.A. (Navigator), the respondent in

the Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) (collectively, the
petitioners), submitted a reply rebutting Navigator's ministerial error

the period of review (POR) in the ``Final Results of Review'' section
in the Final Results, which should have been stated as the period of
August 26, 2015, through February 28, 2017. These amended final results
of the review reflect the correct POR throughout.
Amended Final Results of the Review
We determine that, for the period of August 26, 2015, through

final results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Duty Assessment
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.
[[Page 52811]]
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Navigator
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from

final results of this administrative review, as provided by section

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
