SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 5, 2021, CHAP requested \1\ that, pursuant to section 751(b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.216,
Commerce conduct an expedited CCR of the AD order on certain softwood
lumber products from Canada \2\ to confirm that CHAP is the successor-
in-interest to L'Atelier, and accordingly to assign it the cash deposit
rate of L'Atelier.\3\ In its submission, CHAP states that while
L'Atelier undertook its name, the company is otherwise primarily
unchanged.\4\ On June 8, 2021, Commerce informed CHAP that it required
additional information in order to determine whether to initiate the
requested CCR.\5\ On June 24, 2021, CHAP provided the requested
information.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the Order is softwood lumber, siding,
flooring and certain other coniferous wood (softwood lumber products).
Softwood lumber product imports are generally entered under Chapter 44
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the scope of the Order is
dispositive.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initiation and Preliminary Results CCR Preliminary Decision
Memorandum (no changes in these final results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results
CCR, Commerce continues to find that CHAP is the successor-in-interest
to L'Atelier. As a result of this determination and consistent with
established practice, we find that CHAP should receive the cash deposit
rates previously assigned to L'Atelier. Consequently, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of
all shipments of subject merchandise produced or exported by L'Atelier
and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after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 L'Atelier. 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 20, 2021.
Ryan Majerus,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.
