SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 29, 2004, we published in the Federal Register the 
antidumping duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 (CVP 23) from 
India. See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than 
Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 From 
India, 69 FR 77988 (December 29, 2004). On December 1, 2009, we 
published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on CVP 23 from 
India. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 
74 FR 62743 (December 1, 2009). On December 11, 2009, Alpanil 
Industries (Alpanil) informed the Department that, on April 9, 2009, 
Alpanil changed its name officially to Meghmani Pigments (Meghmani). On 
December 31, 2009, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Meghmani requested 
an administrative review of the order. On January 29, 2010, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), 
we published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
order. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, Request for Revocation in Part, and Deferral of 
Initiation of Administrative Review, 75 FR 4770 (January 29, 2010). We 
did not receive a request from Alpanil, Meghmani, or any other 
interested parties for a changed-circumstances review with respect to 
the name change.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is CVP 23 identified as Color 
Index No. 51319 and Chemical Abstract No. 6358-30-1, with the chemical 
name of diindolo [3,2-b:3?,2?-m]\1\ triphenodioxazine, 8,18-dichloro-5, 
15-diethyl-5, 15-dihydro-, and molecular formula of C34H22Cl2N4O2. The 
subject merchandise includes the crude pigment in any form (e.g., dry 
powder, paste, wet cake) and finished pigment in the form of presscake 
and dry color. Pigment dispersions in any form (e.g., pigment dispersed 
in oleoresins, flammable solvents, water) are not included within the 
scope of the order. The merchandise subject to the order is 
classifiable under subheading 3204.17.90.40 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description 
of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Initiation of Changed-Circumstances Review

    Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Act of and 19 CFR 351.216(d), 
the Department will conduct a changed-circumstances review upon receipt 
of information concerning, or a request from an interested party for a 
review of, an antidumping duty order which shows changed circumstances 
sufficient to warrant a review of the order. Based on the information 
Alpanil submitted on December 11, 2009, we find that we have received 
information which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant 
initiation of such a review. See 19 CFR 351.216(d). Therefore, in 
accordance with the above-referenced statute and regulation, the 
Department is initiating a changed-circumstances review.
    Because we are currently conducting an administrative review of the 
order covering the period December 1, 2008, through November 30, 2009, 
we will conduct the changed-circumstances review in the context of the 
2008-09 administrative review. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(2), 
we will issue a questionnaire requesting factual information pertinent 
to the changed-circumstances review. We intend to issue the preliminary 
results of the changed-circumstances review when we issue the 
preliminary results of the 2008-09 administrative review and we intend 
to issue the final results of the changed-circumstances review when we 
issue the final results of the 2008-09 administrative review. During 
the course of this review, we will not change the cash-deposit 
requirements for the subject merchandise. The cash-deposit rate will be 
altered, if warranted, pursuant only to the final results of the 
changed-circumstances and/or administrative review.
    This notice of initiation is in accordance with section 751(b)(1) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(1).

    Dated: March 3, 2010.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
