its business name with effect from 17 December 1987 and that it has

its assertion, the Commission has verified the change of business name 
and the fact that there has been no other change in ownership or in the 
legal, production or marketing structures of the company in question. 
It therefore considers that the 5.9% rate of the anti-dumping duty is 
applicable to Quantum Chemical Corporation, USI Division.

so as to cover all consignments from the company in question under its 
new name,
