intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.21

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of ADs 

on entries of merchandise covered by 

the final results of this review and for 

future cash deposits of estimated ADs, 

where applicable.22

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for Evraz will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this review, except if the rate is less 

than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not covered in this review, 

including the 42 companies for which 

Commerce is rescinding this review, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently-completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company was 

reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review or in the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but 

the producer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the company-specific rate 

established for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of subject merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 12.32 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the LTFV investigation.23

These cash deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of our analysis of 

issues raised by the parties in the 

written comments, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of ADs 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of ADs occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled ADs. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Finished Carbon Steel Flanges From 

India: Notice of Initiation and 

Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to a request for a 

changed circumstances review (CCR), 

the U.S. Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is initiating a CCR of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on 

finished carbon steel flanges (flanges) 

from India. We preliminarily determine 

that BFN Forgings Private Limited 

(BFN) is the successor-in-interest to 

Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited 

(Bebitz). Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable June 6, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 24, 2017, Commerce 

published the AD order on flanges from 

India in the Federal Register.1 In the 

most recent administrative review of the 

Order covering the period August 1, 

2019, through July 31, 2020, Bebitz was 

assigned the cash deposit rate of 0.00 

percent as a company not selected for 

individual review.2

On April 14, 2022, BFN requested that 

Commerce conduct an expedited CCR to

find that BFN is the successor-ininterest to Bebitz.3 In its submission, 

BFN addressed the factors Commerce 

analyzes with respect to successor-ininterest determinations in the AD 

context and provided supporting 

documentation.4 Commerce received no 

comments from interested parties on 

BFN’s CCR Request. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is flanges from India. For a full 

description of the merchandise covered 

by the scope of the Order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.5

Initiation of Changed Circumstances 

Review 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.216, 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.6 The information 

submitted by BFN supporting its claim 

that BFN is the successor-in-interest to 

Bebitz demonstrates changed 

circumstances sufficient to initiate a 

review.7

The information submitted by BFN 

demonstrates that its request is based 

solely on a change in the name of the 

company from ‘‘Bebitz Flanges Works 

Private Limited’’ to ‘‘BFN Forgings 

Private Limited,’’ effective August 14, 

2020.8 Moreover, the evidence 

submitted in support of BFN’s request 

demonstrates that BFN is otherwise the 

same business entity as Bebitz. 

Therefore, in accordance with the 

regulation referenced above, Commerce 

is initiating a CCR to determine whether 

BFN is the successor-in-interest to 

Bebitz. 

Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review 

When Commerce concludes that 

expedited action is warranted, it may 

publish the notice of initiation and 

preliminary results of a CCR 

concurrently.9 Commerce has combined 

the notice of initiation and preliminary 

results in successor-in-interest cases 

when sufficient documentation has been 

provided supporting the request to make 

a preliminary determination.10 In this 

instance, because we have information 

on the record to support the request for 

a preliminary determination and no 

other interested party comments, we 

find that expedited action is warranted, 

and we are combining the notice of 

initiation and the notice of preliminary 

results of review, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii). 

In a CCR, we generally consider a 

company to be the successor to another 

company for AD cash deposit purposes 

if the operations of the successor are not 

materially dissimilar from those of its 

predecessor.11 In making this 

determination, Commerce examines a 

number of factors including, but not 

limited to, changes in: (1) management; 

(2) production facilities; (3) suppliers; 

and (4) customer base.12 While no single 

factor or combination of factors is 

dispositive, Commerce will generally 

consider one company to be the 

successor to another if its resulting 

operations are essentially the same as 

that of its predecessor.13 Thus, if the 

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 prior company, Commerce will 

assign the new company the cash 

deposit rate of its predecessor.14

In its CCR request, BFN provided 

evidence demonstrating that BFN’s 

operations are not materially dissimilar 

from those of Bebitz. Based on the 

record, we preliminarily determine that 

BFN is the successor-in-interest to 

Bebitz. For a complete discussion of the 

information that BFN provided, 

including business proprietary 

information, and the complete 

successor-in-interest analysis, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.15

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is

Any interested party may request a 

hearing within 14 days of publication of 

this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.310(c).16 Interested parties may

(2) a brief summary of the argument;

we will issue the final results of this 

CCR no later than 270 days after the 

date on which this review was initiated,
