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and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 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.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.
