Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the People's Republic of China: Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order, 28483-28484 [2014-11387]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 95 / Friday, May 16, 2014 / Notices With respect to the management, we find that there were several important changes to management as a result of the bankruptcy and change in ownership in 2005. Delverde states that Faro ‘‘. . . added top-level executive supervisors’’ and installed ‘‘top executive managers in a few key positions.’’ 16 While Delverde characterizes these changes as minor, we find that these were significant changes in the top level management.17 We also find that there were significant changes to Delverde’s suppliers as a result of the bankruptcy and change in ownership, though we do not find that there were significant changes to Delverde’s customers or production facilities immediately following the bankruptcy. However, we find that the bankruptcy resulted in a significant change to the company because (1) the company Delverde S.p.A. effectively ceased to exist as a commercial entity; and (2) the company that purchased the existing assets, Faro, took extensive measures to ‘‘relaunch’’ or ‘‘restart’’ the pasta business that used to be Delverde S.p.A.; and (3) although the pasta factory and the Delverde brand name were constant elements through the history of these entities, the magnitude of the changes, as discussed above and in the ‘‘Prelim Memo’’ as a result of the bankruptcy and change in ownership reflect the creation of a new entity. For example, Faro’s investments in the factory totaled approximately 2.8 million Euros, and affected machinery, plant facilities, and laboratory equipment. These investments were made to restart operations, improve productive and administrative efficiency, and to upgrade product quality.18 Therefore, we preliminarily find that the record evidence does not support Delverde’s claim that it is the successor-in-interest to Del Verde S.p.A. Consequently, we preliminarily determine that Delverde should not be given the same antidumping duty treatment as Del Verde S.p.A, which was excluded from the order. Instead, Delverde, as a new entity, is not excluded from the order.19 This 16 See Changed Circumstance Request, at 5. of the proprietary nature of the information concerning the changes to management as a result of the 2005 bankruptcy and change in ownership, for further discussion see ‘‘Preliminary Successor-in-Interest Determination Analysis Memorandum’’ (‘‘Prelim Memo’’), dated concurrently with this notice. 18 See Third Supplemental Response, at 1–3. 19 See Certain Pasta From Italy: Notice of Final Results of 16th Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2011–2012, 79 FR 11409 (February 28, 2014), in which Delverde Industrie Alimentari S.p.A. was assigned a company-specific cash deposit rate of 13.09 percent.
