SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 30, 2022, Chuzhou Kanghua requested that Commerce conduct
an expedited changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order
on certain corrosion inhibitors from China,\1\ pursuant to section
751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR
351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), to confirm that Chuzhou Kanghua is
the successor-in-interest to Nantong Kanghua for purposes of
determining antidumping duty cash deposits and liabilities.\2\ In its
submission, Chuzhou Kanghua stated that its request was based solely on
a change in the Chinese name of the company from ``Nantong Kanghua
Chemical Co., Ltd'' to ``Kanghua Chemical Co., Ltd.'' \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Corrosion Inhibitors from the People's Republic
of China, and Antidumping Duty Orders, 86 FR 14869 (March 19, 2021)
(Order).
\2\ See Chuzhou Kanghua's Letter, ``Certain Corrosion Inhibitors
from the People's Republic of China, A-570-122; Changed
Circumstances Review (Kanghua),'' dated August 30, 2022 (CCR
Request). We note that the actual request contained a typographical
error referencing a different case and case number. We clarified
with counsel that the correct case name is ``Certain Corrosion
Inhibitors from the People's Republic of China, A-570-122.'' See
Memorandum, ``Antidumping Administrative Review of Certain Corrosion
Inhibitors from the People's Republic of China: Communication with
counsel concerning its Request for a Changed Circumstance Review,''
dated September 29, 2022.
\3\ See CCR Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 23, 2022, Commerce initiated this proceeding and
published the Preliminary Results, preliminarily finding that Kanghua
Chemical is the successor-in-interest to Nantong Kanghua.\4\ In the
Preliminary Results, we provided interested parties with an opportunity
to provide comments.\5\ We received no comments.

Decision Memorandum (PDM).

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, Commerce
continues to find that Kanghua Chemical is the successor-in-interest to
Nantong Kanghua. As a result of this determination and consistent with
established practice, we find that Kanghua Chemical should receive the
cash deposit rate previously assigned to the Nantong Kanghua.
Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise
produced and exported by Kanghua Chemical and entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of
this notice in the Federal Register at 87.11 percent, which is the
current antidumping duty cash deposit rate for Nantong Kanghua.\7\ For
shipments of subject merchandise produced by Kanghua Chemical and
exported by Jiangyin Delian Chemical Co., Ltd (Delian), Commerce will
instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of shipments of subject merchandise
that entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at 72.50
percent, which is the current antidumping duty cash
[[Page 1358]]
deposit rate for Delian.\8\ These cash deposits requirement shall
remain in effect until further notice.
