SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) published the 
antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades and parts thereof from the 
People's Republic of China on November 4, 2009. See Diamond Sawblades 
and Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China and the Republic 
of Korea: Antidumping Duty Orders, 74 FR 57145 (November 4, 2009).
    On October 1, 2012, Husqvarna (Hebei) Co., Ltd. (``Hebei 
Husqvarna''), an interested party in the ongoing, 2010-2011 
administrative review, filed a request for a changed circumstances 
review. In its letter, Hebei Husqvarna informed the Department that 
Hebei Husqvarna Jikai Diamond Tools Co., Ltd. changed its name to 
Husqvarna (Hebei) Co., Ltd. on April 27, 2012, and it requested that 
the Department find Hebei Husqvarna to be the successor-in-interest to 
Hebei Husqvarna Jikai Diamond Tools Co., Ltd..

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the order are all finished circular 
sawblades, whether slotted or not, with a working part that is 
comprised of a diamond segment or segments, and parts thereof. 
Merchandise subject to the order is typically imported under heading 
8202.39.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS''). When packaged together as a set for retail sale with an 
item that is separately classified under headings 8202 to 8205 of the 
HTSUS, diamond sawblades or parts thereof may be imported under heading 
8206.00.00.00 of the HTSUS. On October 11, 2011, the Department added 
HTSUS 6804.21.00.00 to the scope description pursuant to a request by 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The tariff classification is 
provided for convenience and customs purposes; however, the written 
description, available in Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof From the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: 2010-2011, 77 FR 73417 (December 10, 2012), is 
dispositive.

Initiation of Changed Circumstances Review

    Based on Hebei Husqvarna's request and in accordance with section 
751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 
351.216(b), the Department is initiating a changed circumstances review 
to determine whether Hebei Husqvarna is the successor-in-interest to 
Hebei Husqvarna Jikai Diamond Tools Co., Ltd. In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(2), we will send to interested parties questionnaires 
requesting factual information for review.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), the Department will 
publish in the Federal Register a notice of preliminary results of this 
changed circumstances review, which will set forth the factual and 
legal conclusions upon which our preliminary results are based and a 
description of any action proposed based on those results.
    This notice of initiation is in accordance with section 751(b)(1) 
of the Act, 19 CFR 351.216(b) and (d), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(1).
