Domtar Corporation (the petitioner) and Suzano S.A. (Suzano) submitted
timely requests that Commerce conduct an administrative review.\3\ On

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 5, 2025, Commerce placed on the record U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) entry data for the companies subject to the
review.\5\ On June 12, 2025, Sylvamo filed comments on these entries
stating that none of the shipments were attributable to Sylvamo.\6\

Data,'' dated June 5, 2025.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 28, 2025, Suzano withdrew its request for a review of
itself.\7\ Also on July 28, 2025, the petitioner withdrew its review
request with respect to Suzano.\8\ On January 9, 2026, Commerce issued
a notice of intent to rescind the 2024-2025 administrative review with
respect to Sylvamo and invited interested parties to comment.\9\ No
party filed comments in opposition and Sylvamo filed comments in
agreement with the Notice of Intent to Rescind.\10\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\11\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\12\ Accordingly the deadline for the preliminary
results of this review is now February 9, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\12\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
[[Page 6615]]
part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request
within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation.
As noted above, on July 28, 2025, the petitioner and Suzano both
withdrew their request for review regarding Suzano. Because the request
for review of Suzano was timely withdrawn from the petitioner and
Suzano, and because no other party requested a review of Suzano, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this
review for the company.
Additionally, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's
practice to rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there
are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for
which liquidation is suspended.\13\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate for the review period.\14\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the
newly calculated AD assessment rate.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See, e.g., Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length
Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Rescission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4154 (January
24, 2023).
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted above, there were no entries of subject merchandise for
Sylvamo during the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended
entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding
this administrative review of the company, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
Cash Deposit Requirements
As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this
administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly,
the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Assessment Rates
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates
equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at
the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in
the United States, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal
Register.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an APO
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of the APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a violation, which is
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: February 9, 2026.
