Certain Uncoated Paper From Brazil: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Changed Circumstances Review

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 26, 2021, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
published the initiation and preliminary results of a changed 
circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on 
certain uncoated paper (uncoated paper) from Brazil. For these final 
results, Commerce continues to find that Sylvamo do Brasil Ltda. (SVBR) 
is the successor-in-interest to International Paper do Brasil Ltda. 
(IP) and that Sylvamo Exports Ltda. (SVEX) is the successor-in-interest 
to International Paper Exportadora Ltda. (IPEX). Furthermore, SVBR and 
SVEX (collectively, Sylvamo) should be assigned the same AD cash 
deposit rate assigned to IP and IPEX (collectively, International 
Paper) for purposes of determining AD liability in this proceeding.

DATES: Applicable January 11, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 26, 2021, Commerce published the Initiation and 
Preliminary Results,\1\ finding that Sylvamo is the successor-in-
interest to International Paper \2\ and should be assigned the same AD 
cash deposit rate assigned to International Paper in this 
proceeding.\3\ In the Initiation and Preliminary Results, we provided 
all interested parties with an opportunity to comment and request a 
public hearing regarding our preliminary finding.\4\ We received no 
comments or requests for a public hearing from interested parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Uncoated Paper from Brazil: Notice of Initiation 
and Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances 
Review, 86 FR 67438 (November 26, 2021) (Initiation and Preliminary 
Results) and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
    \2\ During the underlying less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation, Commerce determined that IP and IPEX constituted a 
single entity for purposes of the AD order. See Certain Uncoated 
Paper from Brazil: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value, 81 FR 3115, 3116 (January 20, 2016). In subsequent cases, we 
have referred to them, collectively, as International Paper. See, 
e.g., Certain Uncoated Paper from Brazil: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2018-2019, 86 FR 7254 
(January 27, 2021) (Brazil Paper 2018-2019). Given that Commerce 
previously determined that International Paper represented a single 
entity--and in light of the fact that we find continuity of 
operations following the corporate structure changes to SVBR/SVEX--
we intend to similarly treat Sylvamo as a single entity for cash 
deposit purposes.
    \3\ See Initiation and Preliminary Results, 86 FR 67438.

Scope of the Order <SUP>5</SUP>

    \5\ See Certain Uncoated Paper from Australia, Brazil, 
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 merchandise covered by the scope of the Order is certain 
uncoated paper. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, 
see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of the Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results, 
and because we received no comments from interested parties to the 
contrary, Commerce continues to find that Sylvamo is the successor-in-
interest to International Paper and should be assigned the same AD cash 
deposit rate assigned to International Paper in this proceeding. As a 
result of this determination, we find that Sylvamo should receive the 
cash deposit rate previously assigned to International Paper in the 
most recently completed review of the Order covering International 
Paper. The most recent cash deposit rate assigned to International 
Paper was 20.80 percent ad valorem.\6\ Consequently, Commerce will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of 
all shipments of subject merchandise exported by Sylvamo and entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at 20.80 
percent ad valorem. This cash deposit requirement shall remain in 
effect until further notice.
