Changed Circumstances Review

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On June 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
published its notice of initiation and preliminary results of a changed 
circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on 
finished carbon steel flanges (flanges) from India. For these final 
results, Commerce finds that BFN Forgings Private Limited (BFN) is the 
successor-in-interest to Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited (Bebitz) 
and should be assigned the same AD cash deposit rate for purposes of 
determining AD liability.

a CCR and preliminarily determined that BFN is the successor-in-
interest to Bebitz.\3\ In the Initiation and Preliminary Results, we 
provided all interested parties with an opportunity to comment.\4\ We 
received no comments from any interested party.

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Because the record contains no information or evidence that calls 
into question the Initiation and Preliminary Results, and because we 
received no comments from interested parties to the contrary, for the 
reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results,\6\ Commerce 
finds that BFN is the successor-in-interest to Bebitz.

provided, including business proprietary information, and Commerce's 
complete successor-in-interest analysis, see the Initiation and 
Preliminary Results PDM.

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    As a result of these final results and consistent with established 
practice, we find that, as the successor-in-interest to Bebitz, entries 
of flanges from India produced and/or exported by BFN should be subject 
to the cash deposit rate previously assigned to Bebitz. Commerce will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of 
all shipments of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by BFN 
and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 
the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at 0.00 
percent, which is the current AD cash deposit rate in effect for 
subject merchandise produced and/or exported by Bebitz.\7\ This cash 
deposit rate shall remain in effect until further notice.
