This review covers one respondent: Suzano S.A. (Suzano).\3\ Although 
the petitioners \4\ and Suzano both submitted comments on the 
Preliminary Results, each party subsequently withdrew its comments, 
leaving no arguments on the record to address. Accordingly, no party 
has commented on the Preliminary Results and the final results remain 
unchanged from the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary

    \3\ In the Preliminary Results, we determined that Suzano S.A.

    Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751 of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order 5

Indonesia, the People's Republic of China, and Portugal: Amended 
Final Affirmative Antidumping Determinations for Brazil and 
Indonesia and Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 11174 (March 3, 2016) 
(Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The merchandise covered by the Order includes uncoated paper in 
sheet form; weighing at least 40 grams per square meter but not more 
than 150 grams per square meter; that either is a white paper with a GE 
brightness level \6\ of 85 or higher, or is a colored paper; whether or 
not surface-decorated, printed (except as described below), embossed, 
perforated, or punched; irrespective of the smoothness of the surface; 
and irrespective of dimensions (Certain Uncoated Paper).

brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter the paper the better 
the contrast between the paper and the ink. Brightness is measured 
using a GE Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of light

from bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (BCTMP) that meets this

products, typically school supplies, composed of paper that 
incorporates straight horizontal and/or vertical lines that would make 
the paper unsuitable for copying or printing purposes. For purposes of 
this scope definition, paper shall be considered ``printed with final 
content'' where at least one side of the sheet has printed text and/or 
graphics that cover at least five percent of the surface area of the 
entire sheet.
    On September 1, 2017, Commerce determined that imports of uncoated 
paper with a GE brightness of 83 +/- 1% (83 Bright paper), otherwise 
meeting the description of in-scope merchandise, constitute merchandise 
``altered in form or appearance in minor respects'' from in-scope 
merchandise that are subject to the Order.\7\

People's Republic of China, Indonesia, and Portugal: Affirmative 
Final Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Imports of the subject merchandise are provided for under

are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the scope of the Order is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ On January 27, 2021, Commerce preliminarily found that rolls 
of certain uncoated paper from Brazil were being further processed 
in the United States into individual sheets of uncoated paper that 
would be subject to the Order. The uncoated paper rolls covered by 
the preliminary finding are converted into sheets of uncoated paper 
using specialized cutting machinery prior to printing, and are 
typically, but not exclusively, between 52 and 103 inches wide and 
50 inches in diameter. These certain uncoated paper rolls are 
classified under HTSUS subheading 4802.55. See Certain Uncoated 
Paper from Brazil: Affirmative Preliminary Determination of 
Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty Order for Uncoated Paper 
Rolls, 86 FR 7261 (January 27, 2021). Commerce intends to make a 
final finding as to whether these uncoated paper rolls are within 
the scope of the Order after the issuance of the final results of 
this administrative review. Any entries of merchandise subject to 
the circumvention inquiry made during the POR will remain suspended 
until the conclusion of the circumvention proceeding.

exists for the respondent for the POR, March 1, 2019, through February 
29, 2020:

Disclosure

    As noted above, there are no comments on the record regarding 
Commerce's Preliminary Results to be addressed here. As a result, we 
have not modified our analysis from the Preliminary Results, and we 
will not issue a decision memorandum to accompany this Federal Register 
notice. We are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final results of 
this review. Further, because we have not changed our calculations 
since the Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to 
disclose, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b), for these final 
results.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of 
this review. We will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment 
rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for 
the examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S 
Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct 
CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to 
file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 
days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping 
duties will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate 
for Suzano will be equal to its weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by a producer or exporter not covered in this 
review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer has been covered in a 
prior completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 
be the company-specific rate established for the most recent period for 
the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other producers or exporters will continue to be 27.11 percent,\9\ the 
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or 
conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure 
to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
