Successor-in-Interest Determination 

In accordance with section 751(b)(1) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), we are conducting this CCR 

based upon the information contained 

in SGBC/SKF’s and other interested 

parties’ submissions. In making a 

successor-in-interest determination, the 

Department examines several factors, 

including, but not limited to, changes in 

the following: (1) Management; (2) 

production facilities; (3) supplier 

relationships; and (4) customer base.5

While no single factor or combination of 

factors will necessarily provide a 

dispositive indication of a successor-ininterest relationship, generally, the 

Department will consider 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.6

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, the 

Department will generally accord the 

new company the same AD treatment as 

its predecessor.7

SGBC was revoked from the order in 

1997 and became part of the SKF Group 

in 2012. In conducting a successor-ininterest analysis, while we generally 

consider information from immediately 

before and after the formation of a new 

entity, the Department considers all 

information on the record relevant to 

the determination.8 In the instant case, 

we compared SGBC/SKF to the entity 

that was revoked from the order, and we 

considered the changes to that entity 

since revocation. 

Preliminary Results 

We preliminarily find SGBC/SKF to 

be the successor-in-interest to SGBC 

because the information on the record 

indicates that SGBC/SKF continues to 

operate as essentially the same entity 

that was revoked from the order. 

Although there were changes in SGBC’s 

production process and board 

membership after revocation, these 

changes were made over a number of 

years and do not appear to be linked to 

changes in ownership structure. Rather, 

they are changes generally in the normal 

course of business that would occur 

over such a long period (i.e., 

approximately two decades). Thus, after 

considering the facts on the record as a 

whole, we do not find that SGBC/SKF’s 

operations (based on an examination of 

its management, production facilities, 

supplier relationships, and customer 

base), changed so significantly such that 

we would find that that it is a different 

entity from SGBC. For the Department’s 

detailed analysis, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.9

19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, will be due five days after the

accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties, who wish to request 

a hearing, or to participate in a hearing 

if one is requested, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, filed electronically using IA 

ACCESS. Electronically filed case 

briefs/written comments and hearing 

requests must be received successfully 

in their entirety by the Department’s 

electronic records system, IA ACCESS, 

by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.4 Hearing 

requests should contain: (1) The party’s 

name, address and telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants; and (3) 

a list of issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those issues raised in the respective case 

briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, 

parties will be notified of the time and 

date of the hearing which will be held 

at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington DC 20230. The Department 

intends to issue the final results of this 

administrative review, including the 

results of its analysis of the issues raised 

in any written briefs, not later than 120 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.5 The Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 

days after the publication date of the 

final results of this review. The 

Department intends to instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries of subject merchandise 

from the PRC-wide entity, including 

entries of subject merchandise from 

Zhengzhou Shangdao, at 128.59 percent 

(the PRC-wide rate). Additionally, 

pursuant to the Department’s practice in 

NME cases, if we continue to determine 

that Hunan Valin had no shipments of 

the subject merchandise, any suspended 

entries that entered under that 

exporter’s case number (i.e., at that 

exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the 

PRC-wide rate. For a full discussion of 

this practice, see Non-Market Economy 

Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review 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 review, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act: (1) For Hunan Valin, which had no 

shipments, the cash deposit rate will 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 225 / Friday, November 21, 2014 / Notices 69427 

remain unchanged from the rate 

assigned to this company in the most 

recently completed review of the 

company; (2) for previously investigated 

or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

which are not under review in this 

segment of the proceeding but which 

have separate rates, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter-specific 

rate published for the most recent 

period; (3) for all PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate, 

including Zhengzhou Shangdao, the 

cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide 

rate of 128.59 percent; and (4) for all 

non-PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC 

exporter. These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213.
