Background
On March 19, 2019, Commerce
published the AD order on corrosion
inhibitors from China in the Federal
Register.1 On August 30, 2022, Chuzhou
Kanghua requested that Commerce
initiate a changed circumstances review
of the Order to determine that it is the
successor-in-interest to Nantong
Kanghua.2 We did not receive
comments from interested parties
concerning this request. On September
8, 2022, Commerce requested additional
information from Chuzhou Kanghua to
determine whether to initiate the
requested CCR.3
On October 7, 2022, we extended the
deadline to initiate the CCR.4
