SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On September 28, 2006, the Department published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     the CVD order on certain lined paper products from India.[4]
                    
                     On October 7, 2014, the Department published the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     of administrative review of the 
                    *Lined Paper Order*
                     for the POR.[5] After the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     we issued a third supplemental questionnaire providing the Government of India (GOI) with an opportunity to describe the steps on which it based its claims that AR Printing did not use certain subsidy programs at issue in the review,[6]
                    
                     to which the GOI responded on October 31, 2014.[7]
                    
                     On March 4, 2015, we conducted verification at the GOI offices in New Delhi, India.[8] Petitioner [9]
                    
                     submitted a case brief on March 11, 2015,[10]
                    
                     and the GOI submitted a rebuttal brief on March 16, 2015.[11]
                    
                     No interested party requested a hearing. Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the order is certain lined paper products. The products are currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers: 4811.90.9035, 4811.90.9080, 4820.30.0040, 4810.22.5044, 4811.90.9050, 4811.90.9090, 4820.10.2010, 4820.10.2020, 4820.10.2030, 4820.10.2040, 4820.10.2050, 4820.10.2060, and 4820.10.4000. Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description remains dispositive. A full description of the scope of the order is contained in the memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, “Countervailing Duty (CVD) Administrative Review: Certain Lined Paper Products from India.” The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically 
                    *via*
                     Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).[12]
                    
                     ACCESS is available to registered users at 
                    *http://access.trade.gov*
                     and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at 
                    *http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​index.html.*
                     The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Methodology The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we find that there is a subsidy, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     a government-provided financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.[13] 
 
 In making these findings, we relied, in part, on facts otherwise available on the administrative record because AR Printing: (1) Failed to respond to the Department's requests for necessary information and therefore necessary information was not on the record; (2) withheld requested information; (3) failed to provide requested information by the established deadlines; and (4) significantly impeded this proceeding. 
                    *See*
                     sections 776(a)(1) and (2)(A)-(C) of the Act. Furthermore, because we determine that AR Printing failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply with the Department's requests for information, we drew an adverse inference in selecting from among the facts otherwise available. 
                    *See*
                     section 776(b) of the Act. Changes Since Preliminary Results After the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     the Department verified information from the GOI concerning the Market Development Assistance, Status Certificate, and Market Access Initiative programs.[14]
                    
                     Based on the findings at verification and for the reasons set forth in the Decision Memorandum, we find that AR Printing did not use these three programs during the POR. Therefore, we did not include subsidy rates for these programs when determining the AFA attributable to AR Printing. For a full description of the analysis concerning the Status Certificate, Market Access Initiative, and Market Development programs, 
                    *see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which also incorporates by reference our analysis from the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     pertaining to other programs for which the Department's analysis and determinations have not changed. For all other issues, 
                    *see*
                     the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Final Results of Review In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we calculated the listed net subsidy rate for 2012: Company
Net subsidy rateA.R. Printing & Packaging India Pvt. Ltd. (AR Printing)
37.43 percent 
                            *ad valorem*.
 Assessment Rates The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after publication of these final results of review, to liquidate shipments of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by AR Printing, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, at the 
                    *ad valorem*
                     rate listed above. Cash Deposit Instructions The Department intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated CVDs in the amount shown above for AR Printing on shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of these final results of review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated CVDs at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company. Accordingly, the cash deposit requirements that will be applied to companies covered by this order, but not examined in this review, are those established in the most recently completed segment of the proceeding for each company. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Administrative Protective Order This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: April 6, 2015. Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
