published its notice of initiation and preliminary results of a changed 
circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty order on Certain

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 22, 2015, PAP SRL requested that the Department conduct a 
CCR to determine whether it is the successor-in-interest to PAP SNC, 
for purposes of determining antidumping duties due as a result of the 
Pasta from Italy Order.\2\ On June 12, 2015, the Department published 
its Initiation and Preliminary Results, in which it preliminarily 
determined that PAP SRL is the successor-in-interest to PAP SNC.\3\ The 
Department invited

interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\4\ We 
received none.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order and Amended Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Pasta From 
Italy, 61 FR 38547 (July 24, 1996) (Pasta from Italy Order).

Scope of the Order

    Imports covered by the order are shipments of certain non-egg dry 
pasta. The merchandise subject to review is currently classifiable 
under items 1901.90.90.95 and 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings 
are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the merchandise subject to the order is dispositive.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For a full description of the scope of the order, see the 
memorandum titled ``Initiation and Preliminary Results of Changed 
Circumstances Review: Certain Pasta from Italy'' from Christian 
Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance, (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), 
dated concurrently with the Initiation and Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Because no parties submitted comments on the Department's 
Initiation and Preliminary Results, and because there is no other 
information or evidence on the record that calls into question the 
Initiation and Preliminary Results, the Department determines that PAP 
SRL is the successor-in-interest to PAP SNC for the purpose of 
determining antidumping duty liability.

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    As a result of this determination, we find that PAP SRL should 
receive the cash deposit rate previously assigned to PAP SNC in the 
most recently completed review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
pasta from Italy. Consequently, the Department will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection to collect estimated antidumping duties 
for all shipments of subject merchandise exported by PAP SRL and 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at the current 
cash deposit rate for PAP SNC, which is zero.\6\ This cash deposit 
requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ PAP SNC was a respondent in the 14th administrative review 
of the Pasta from Italy Order and received a deposit rate of 3.57 
percent. See Pasta from Italy: Final Results of the Fourteenth 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 76937 (December 9, 
2011). As a result of the ``section 129'' determination, the 
company's deposit rate is now zero; see Notice of Implementation of 
Determination Under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act: 
Stainless Steel Plate in Coils From Belgium, Steel Concrete 
Reinforcing Bars From Latvia, Purified Carboxymethylcellulose From 
Finland, Certain Pasta From Italy, Purified Carboxymethylcellulose 
From the Netherlands, Stainless Steel Wire Rod From Spain, Granular 
Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin From Italy, Stainless Steel Sheet and 
Strip in Coils From Japan, 77 FR 36257 (June 18, 2012). See also,
