Final Results of CCR
For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results
CCR, Commerce continues to find that CFP LP and CFP Inc. are the SIIs
to Chaleur LP and Fornebu Inc., respectively. As a result of this
determination and consistent with established practice, we find that
CFP LP and CFP Inc. should receive the cash deposit rates previously
assigned to Chaleur LP and Fornebu Inc., respectively. Consequently,
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend
liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise produced and/or
exported by CFP LP and CFP Inc. and entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this
notice in the Federal Register at the cash deposit rate in effect for
Chaleur LP and Fornebu Inc., respectively. This cash deposit
requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing this determination and publishing these final
results and notice in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1)
and (2) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.216(e), 351.221(b), and
351.221(c)(3).
Dated: August 2, 2021.
