Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

Changed Circumstances Review, and 

Intent To Revoke Antidumping Duty

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) received a request from the 

petitioner, DuPont Performance 

Elastomers L.L.C. (DPE) 1 for a changed 

circumstances review and a request to 

revoke, in part, the antidumping duty 

(AD) finding on certain polychloroprene 

rubber products from Japan. In its 

August 4, 2008 request, DPE stated that 

it no longer has any interest in 

antidumping relief from imports of such 

polychloroprene rubber with respect to 

the subject merchandise defined in the 

‘‘Scope of the Finding’’ section below. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 6, 1973, the Department 

of the Treasury published, in the 

Federal Register (38 FR 33593), the AD 

finding on polychloroprene rubber from 

Japan. 

On September 29, 2006, the 

Department amended the scope of the 

AD finding. Polychloroprene Rubber 

from Japan: Final Changed 

Circumstances Review and 

Determination to Revoke Finding in 

Part, 71 FR 57470 (September 29, 2006). 

On August 4, 2008, DPE requested 

revocation, in part, of the AD finding 

with respect to aqueous dispersions of 

2-chlorobutadiene-1,3 homopolymers, 

where the polymer content of the 

dispersion is between 55 weight percent 

and 61 weight percent and the dispersed 

homopolymer contains less than 10 

weight percent of a tetrahydrofuraninsoluble fraction, because DPE stated 

that it no longer has any interest in 

antidumping relief from those imports. 

Scope of the Finding 

Imports covered by this finding are 

shipments of polychloroprene rubber, 

an oil resistant synthetic rubber also 

known as polymerized chlorobutadiene 

or neoprene, currently classifiable under 

items 4002.41.00, 4002.49.00, and
