On October 26, 2000, the Department

initiated antidumping duty

investigations of honey from Argentina

and the PRC for the period July 1, 1999

through June 30, 2000, for Argentina,

and the period January 1, 2000 through

June 30, 2000, for the PRC. (See

Initiation of Antidumping Duty

and the People’s Republic of China, 65

FR 65831–65834 (November 2, 2000).)

The notice stated that the Department

and 19 CFR 351.205(e), on February 14,

2001, the petitioners filed a request that

the Department postpone the honey

PRC. The petitioners’ request for

postponement was timely, and the

Department finds no compelling reason

to deny the request.

Therefore, in accordance with section

733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, the Department

is postponing the deadline for issuing

the preliminary determinations of the

aforementioned investigations until May

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On January 5, 2001, a respondent in

the original investigation of this

proceeding, HDP, notified the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) that as of February 1,

2001, its corporate name would change

to Hyundai Hysco. HDP stated that the

corporate structure would not change,

and that all owners, management,

production facilities, suppliers and

customers will also remain the same.

HDP provided documentation to

support this claim, consisting of an

official announcement and a press

article noting the name change.

On February 9, 2001, HDP submitted

supplementary information

documenting the nature of the name

change including, inter alia, relevant

notes from the most recent financial

statement, minutes of a shareholders’

meeting, customer lists, and

organizational charts under both names,

which are identical.

Scope of the Review

seamless or welded, whether or not

conforming to American Petroleum

12926 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 41 / Thursday, March 1, 2001 / Notices

Initiation of Antidumping Duty

Changed-Circumstances Review

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

Act, the Department will conduct a

changed circumstances review upon

receipt of information concerning, or a

request from an interested party of, an

antidumping duty order which shows

changed circumstances sufficient to

warrant a review of the order.

In making a successor-in-interest

determination, the Department

examines several factors including, but

not limited to, the following changes: (1)

Management; (2) production facilities;

(3) supplier relationships; and (4)

customer base. See, e.g., Brass Sheet

and Strip from Canada; Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review, 57 FR 20460 (May 13, 1992)

(Canadian Brass).

The information submitted by HDP

shows changed circumstances sufficient

to warrant a review under 19 CFR

351.216. Although HDP did not request

a changed circumstances review, we

consider that, in order to determine

whether Hyundai Hysco is a successorin-interest to HDP, which was the

company originally investigated, we

must conduct a changed circumstances

review. Therefore, we are initiating a

changed circumstances antidumping

duty administrative review pursuant to

section 751(b)(1) of the Act to determine

whether Hyundai Hysco as

manufacturer or exporter should be

excluded from the antidumping duty

order as HDP is.

We will publish in the Federal

Register a notice of preliminary results

of antidumping duty changed

circumstances review, in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and

351.221(c)(3)(i), 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. As per

351.221(b)(4), interested parties will

have an opportunity to comment. The

Department will issue its final results of

review in accordance with the time

limitations set forth in 19 CFR

351.216(e). All written comments must

be submitted to the Department and

served on all interested parties on the

Department’s service list in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.303.

During the course of this changed

circumstances review, we will not

change any cash deposit instructions on

the merchandise subject to this changed

circumstances review, unless a change

is determined to be warranted pursuant

to the final results of this review.

This notice is in accordance with

section 751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.216 and 351.221.

Dated: February 23, 2001.
