SUMMARY: In response to a request from Golden Well International (HK), Ltd. (Golden Well) and Zhangzhou XMB Home Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhangzhou XMB), the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is initiating a changed circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on wooden bedroom furniture (WBF) from the People’s Republic of China (China) to determine whether Zhangzhou XMB khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Nov 21, 2022 Jkt 259001 is the successor-in-interest to Zhangzhou XYM Furniture Product Co., Ltd. (Zhangzhou XYM). DATES: Applicable November 22, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Martin, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–3936. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On January 4, 2005, Commerce published in the Federal Register an amended final less-than-fair-value determination and AD order on WBF from China.1 On August 17, 2009, Commerce published in the Federal Register the final results of an administrative review and new shipper reviews of the AD order on WBF from China, in which it determined that the exporter/producer combination of Golden Well and Zhangzhou XYM established its eligibility for a separate combination rate.2 On October 5, 2022, Golden Well and Zhangzhou XMB notified Commerce that Zhangzhou XYM changed its name to Zhangzhou XMB and requested that Commerce conduct a CCR to determine that Zhangzhou XMB is the successorin-interest to Zhangzhou XYM.3 We received no comments from interested parties regarding the CCR Request. Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the Order is WBF. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the appendix to this notice. Initiation of CCR Pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce will conduct a CCR upon receipt of 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. Commerce conducts CCRs to address, among other things, the applicability of cash deposit rates 1 See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 329 (January 4, 2005) (Order). 2 See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and New Shipper Reviews, 74 FR 41374, 41380 (August 17, 2009). 3 See Golden Well and Zhangzhou XMB’s Letter, ‘‘Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of China; Request for Changed Circumstances Review (A–570–890),’’ dated October 5, 2022 (CCR Request). PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 after there have been changes in the name or structure of a respondent, such as a merger or spinoff (i.e., a successorin-interest determination).4 Golden Well and Zhangzhou XMB provided information regarding the name change sufficient to warrant the initiation of a CCR.5 Therefore, in accordance with section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), we are initiating a CCR to determine whether Zhangzhou XMB is the successor-in-interest to Zhangzhou XYM. In successor-in-interest CCRs, Commerce examines, among other things, whether there have been changes in a company’s: (1) management; (2) facilities; (3) suppliers; or (4) customers since a name change to determine whether the company under the new name is essentially the same as it was under the prior name. 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. 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. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii), Commerce may combine the notices of initiation and preliminary results of a CCR into a single notice if it concludes that expedited action is warranted. We have determined that it is appropriate to further consider, and potentially seek additional information regarding, certain of the factors noted above that Commerce examines in successor-ininterest CCRs. Therefore, we have determined that expedited action is not warranted and we have not combined the notice of preliminary results of the CCR with this notice. Commerce intends to publish notice of the preliminary results of this CCR in the Federal Register in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and (c)(3)(i).
