SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 23, 2002, Commerce
published the AD order on
silicomanganese from India.1 On
September 1, 2022, NAVA, an Indian
producer and exporter of subject
merchandise, requested that Commerce
conduct an expedited CCR of the Order
to determine that NAVA is the
successor-in-interest to NBVL, and
publish the preliminary results of the
review simultaneously with the
initiation of the CCR.2 In its submission,
NAVA addressed the basic factors
Commerce analyzes with respect to
successor-in-interest determinations in
the AD context and provided supporting
documentation.3 No interested parties
filed comments opposing the CCR
request.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the
Order is all forms, sizes, and
compositions of silicomanganese,
except low-carbon silicomanganese,
including silicomanganese briquettes,
fines and slag. Silicomanganese is a
ferroalloy composed principally of
manganese, silicon, and iron, and
normally contains much smaller
proportions of minor elements, such as
carbon, phosphorous and sulfur.
Silicomanganese is sometimes referred
to as ferrosilicon manganese.
Silicomanganese is used primarily in
steel production as a source of both
silicon and manganese.
Silicomanganese generally contains by

India: NAVA Limited request for Successor-inInterest CCR and Simultaneous Affirmative
Preliminary Determination,’’ dated September 1,

weight not less than 4 percent iron,
more than 30 percent manganese, more
than 8 percent silicon and not more
than 3 percent phosphorous.
Silicomanganese is properly classifiable
under subheading 7202.30.0000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Some
silicomanganese may also be classified
under HTSUS subheading. This scope
covers all silicomanganese, regardless of
its tariff classification. Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection purposes, our written
description of the scope remains
dispositive.
The low-carbon silicomanganese
excluded from this scope is a ferroalloy
with the following chemical
specifications: minimum 55 percent
manganese, minimum 27 percent
silicon, minimum 4 percent iron,
maximum 0.10 percent phosphorus,
maximum 0.10 percent carbon and
maximum 0.05 percent sulfur. Lowcarbon silicomanganese is used in the
manufacture of stainless steel and
special carbon steel grades, such as
motor lamination-grade steel, requiring
a very low carbon content. It is
sometimes referred to as
ferromanganese-silicon. Low-carbon
silicomanganese is classifiable under
HTSUS subheading 7202.99.8040.
Initiation of Changed Circumstances
Review
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
when Commerce receives information
concerning, or a request from an
interested party for a review of, a final
affirmative determination that resulted
in an AD order, which shows changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant a
review of an order, Commerce shall
conduct a changed circumstances
review of the order.4 In accordance with
19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce
determines that the information
submitted by NAVA, supporting its
claim that it is successor-in-interest to
NBVL, demonstrates changed
circumstances sufficient to initiate a
review of the Order.5
The information submitted by NAVA
demonstrates that its request is based
solely on a change in the name of the
company from ‘‘Nava Bharat Ventures
Limited’’ to ‘‘NAVA Limited,’’ approved
by its board of directors on May 16,
2022.6 Moreover, the evidence
submitted by NAVA demonstrates that
it is still otherwise the same business
