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.

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

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.

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.
