Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from India, 70 FR 5147 (February 1, 2005) (Order).

Circumstances Review: Certain Frozen Warm water Shrimp from India,'' 
dated August 17, 2020.

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

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,

    \4\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see 
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018, 84 FR 57847 
(October 29, 2019), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum 
at ``Scope of the Order'' section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initiation of CCR

    Pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), 
Commerce conducts 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 LNSK Greenhouse Agro regarding its 
claim that it is the successor-in-interest to Greenhouse Agro 
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 LNSK Greenhouse Agro's submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See 19 CFR 351.216(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.\6\ While no single factor or 
combination of factors necessarily provides a dispositive indication of 
a successor-in-interest relationship, generally Commerce considers 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.\7\ 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.\8\

Commerce found that a company which only changed its name and did 
not change its operations is a successor-in-interest to the company 
before it changed its name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its CCR request, LNSK Greenhouse Agro has provided sufficient 
evidence to warrant a review to determine if LNSK Greenhouse Agro is 
the successor-in-interest to Greenhouse Agro for purposes of the AD 
order on shrimp from India. Commerce intends to publish in the Federal 
Register a notice of preliminary results of the CCR, in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and 351.221(c)(3)(i), which will set forth 
Commerce's preliminary factual and legal conclusions. Pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.221(b)(4)(ii), interested parties will have an opportunity to 
comment on the preliminary results. Commerce will issue its final 
results of the review in accordance with the time limits set forth in 
19 CFR 351.216(e).
