Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 179 / Tuesday, September 15, 2020 / Notices
from India.1 On July 23, 2020, Hyson
Exports requested that, pursuant to
section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 351.216,
and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), Commerce
conduct a CCR of the Order to confirm
that Hyson Exports is the successor-ininterest to Hyson Logistics and,
accordingly, to assign it the cash deposit
rate of Hyson Logistics.2 In its
submission, Hyson Exports stated that
Hyson Logistics undertook a name
change to Hyson Exports but is
otherwise unchanged.3
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.4
The product is currently classified
under the following Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
item numbers: 0306.17.00.03,

Initiation and Preliminary Results of
CCR
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Act, Commerce will conduct a CCR
upon receipt of information concerning,
or a request from, an interested party for
a review of an AD order which shows
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant a review of the order. The
information submitted by Hyson
Exports supporting its claim that it is
the successor-in-interest to Hyson
Logistics demonstrates changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant such
a review.5 Therefore, in accordance with
section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.216(d) and (e), we are initiating
a CCR based upon the information
contained in Hyson Exports’
submission.
Section 351.221(c)(3)(ii) of
Commerce’s regulations permits
Commerce to combine the notice of

initiation of a CCR and the notice of
preliminary results if Commerce
concludes that expedited action is
warranted.6 In this instance, because the
record contains information necessary
to make a preliminary finding, we find
that expedited action is warranted and
have combined the notice of initiation
and the notice of preliminary results.7
In this CCR, pursuant to section
751(b) of the Act, Commerce conducted
a successor-in-interest analysis. In
making a successor-in-interest
determination, Commerce examines
several factors, including, but not
limited to, changes in the following: (1)
Management; (2) production facilities;
(3) supplier relationships; and (4)
customer base.8 While no single factor
or combination of factors will
necessarily provide a dispositive
indication of a successor-in-interest
relationship, generally, Commerce will
consider the new company to be the
successor to the previous company if
the new company’s resulting operation
is not materially dissimilar to that of its
predecessor.9 Thus, if the record
evidence demonstrates that, with
respect to the production and sale of the
subject merchandise, the new company
operates as the same business entity as
the predecessor company, Commerce
may assign the new company the cash
deposit rate of its predecessor.10

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 1, 2005, Commerce published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty (AD) order on shrimp
[[Page 57193]]
from India.\1\ On July 23, 2020, Hyson Exports requested that, pursuant
to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 19
CFR 351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), Commerce conduct a CCR of the
Order to confirm that Hyson Exports is the successor-in-interest to
Hyson Logistics and, accordingly, to assign it the cash deposit rate of
Hyson Logistics.\2\ In its submission, Hyson Exports stated that Hyson
Logistics undertook a name change to Hyson Exports but is otherwise
unchanged.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp from India, 70 FR 5147 (February 1, 2005) (Order).
\2\ See Hyson Exports' Letter, ``Request for Changed
Circumstances Review: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India,''
dated July 23, 2020 (Hyson Exports CCR Request).
\3\ Id. at 3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater
shrimp.\4\ The product is currently classified under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers:
0306.17.00.03, 0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.12,

0306.17.00.27, 0306.17.00.40, 1605.21.10.30, and 1605.29.10.10.
Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written product description remains dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Final 2016-2017, 83 FR
32835 (July 16, 2018), and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum at ``Scope of the Order.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initiation and Preliminary Results of CCR
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Act, Commerce will conduct a
CCR upon receipt of information concerning, or a request from, an
interested party for a review of an AD order which shows changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant a review of the order. The
information submitted by Hyson Exports supporting its claim that it is
the successor-in-interest to Hyson Logistics demonstrates changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant such a review.\5\ Therefore, in
accordance with section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d)
and (e), we are initiating a CCR based upon the information contained
in Hyson Exports' submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.216(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 351.221(c)(3)(ii) of Commerce's regulations permits
Commerce to combine the notice of initiation of a CCR and the notice of
preliminary results if Commerce concludes that expedited action is
warranted.\6\ In this instance, because the record contains information
necessary to make a preliminary finding, we find that expedited action
is warranted and have combined the notice of initiation and the notice
of preliminary results.\7\

In this CCR, pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act, Commerce
conducted a successor-in-interest analysis. In making a successor-in-
interest determination, Commerce examines several factors, including,
but not limited to, changes in the following: (1) Management; (2)
production facilities; (3) supplier relationships; and (4) customer
base.\8\ While no single factor or combination of factors will
necessarily provide a dispositive indication of a successor-in-interest
relationship, generally, Commerce will consider the new company to be
the successor to the previous company if the new company's resulting
operation is not materially dissimilar to that of its predecessor.\9\
Thus, if the record evidence demonstrates that, with respect to the
production and sale of the subject merchandise, the new company
operates as the same business entity as the predecessor company,
Commerce may assign the new company the cash deposit rate of its
predecessor.\10\

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216, we preliminarily determine that
Hyson Exports is the successor-in-interest to Hyson Logistics. Record
evidence, as submitted by Hyson Exports, indicates that Hyson Exports
operates as essentially the same business entity as Hyson Logistics
with respect to the subject merchandise.\11\ For the complete
successor-in-interest analysis, including discussion of business
proprietary information, refer to the accompanying successor-in-
interest memorandum.\12\ Commerce will issue its final results of the
review in accordance with the time limits set forth in 19 CFR
351.216(e).
