to correct ministerial errors in the
calculation of the countervailable
subsidy rates for PT Anugrah Kertas
Utama, PT Riau Andalan Kertas, APRIL
Fine Paper Macao Commercial Offshore
Limited, and their cross-owned affiliates
(collectively APRIL). As a result of the
correction of these errors, we calculated
a revised subsidy rate for APRIL for

APRIL’s subsidy rate for 2016. The
amended final 2015 countervailable
subsidy rate is listed below in the

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is certain uncoated paper from
Indonesia.4 Imports of the subject
merchandise are provided for under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) categories
4802.56.1000, 4802.56.2000,
4802.56.3000, 4802.56.4000,
4802.56.6000, 4802.56.7020,
4802.56.7040, 4802.57.1000,
4802.57.2000, 4802.57.3000, and
4802.57.4000. Some imports of subject
merchandise may also be classified
under 4802.62.1000, 4802.62.2000,
4802.62.3000, 4802.62.5000,
4802.62.6020, 4802.62.6040,
4802.69.1000, 4802.69.2000,
4802.69.3000, 4811.90.8050 and
4811.90.9080. While HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Ministerial Error
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), defines
‘‘ministerial errors’’ as including ‘‘errors
in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
type of unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ 5 The domestic interested
parties allege that we made ministerial
errors in our calculation of the 2015 and
2016 countervailable subsidy rates for
APRIL by: (1) Correcting the freight
adjustments for one of the benchmark
prices used to calculate the 2015 Log
Export Ban benefit; (2) correcting the
inland freight adjustments for two
benchmark prices used to calculate the
2015 and 2016 Provision of Standing
Timber for Less Than Adequate
Remuneration (Stumpage) benefit; and
(3) incorporating all of the revised 2015
harvesting cost data provided at
verification to calculate the benefit
under the Stumpage program.6 After
analyzing these comments, we find that
we made the alleged ministerial errors
in the Final Results, within the meaning
of section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f).7 Correction of these errors in
APRIL’s benefit calculations results in a
revised countervailable subsidy rate for
2015, but no change in the 2016
countervailable subsidy rate. For a
detailed discussion of these ministerial
errors, see the Ministerial Error
Memorandum.
Amended Final Results of the Review
As a result of correcting the
ministerial errors decribed above, we
determine the following countervailable
subsidy rates for 2015 and 2016:
Company
APRIL Fine Paper Macao Commercial Offshore Limited/PT Anugrah Kertas Utama/PT Riau Andalan Kertas/
PT Intiguna Primatama/PT Riau Andalan Pulp & Paper/PT Esensindo Cipta Cemerlang/PT Sateri Viscose
International/ PT ITCI Hutani Manunggal ............................................................................................................
Assessment Rates
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce intends to
issue appropriate instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in
accordance with the amended final
results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce instructed CBP to collect
cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties at the 2016 ad
valorem rate shown above for APRIL, 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
review. After correcting the ministerial
errors noted above, the 2016 ad valorem
rate calculated for APRIL did not
change; therefore, we will not issue
revised cash deposit intructions to CBP
because the cash deposit rate for APRIL
remains unchanged from the Final
Results.
For all non-reviewed firms,
Commerce instructed CBP to continue
to collect cash deposits at the most
recent company-specific or all-others

appropriate. Accordingly, the cash
deposit requirements applied to
companies covered by this order, but
not examined in this administrative
review, are those established in the most
recently completed segment of the
proceeding for each company. These
cash deposit requirements shall remain
in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
