ITA to Determine if Post-Acquisition SNFA is Successor-in-Interest to Pre-Acquisition SNFA, Etc.
According to the ITA, Societe Nouvelle de Fabrication Aeronautique S.A.S.U. (SNFA), and SKF France S.A. and SKF Aerospace France S.A.S. (collectively, SKF France) requested that the ITA initiate and conduct a changed circumstances review in order to determine that, for purposes of the AD order, SNFA is not a successor-in-interest to SKF France following SNFA's acquisition by SKF France, and that the post-acquisition SNFA is the successor-in-interest to the pre-acquisition SNFA.
ITA to Issue Questionnaire, Preliminary Results, Final Results, Etc.
ITA states that the request does not clearly establish the entity to which SNFA is the successor-in-interest. Therefore, it will issue a questionnaire requesting factual information for the review and will publish a notice of preliminary results of the antidumping duty changed-circumstances review in the Federal Register.
The ITA will issue its final results not later than 270 days after February 23, 2007, or within 45 days if all parties to the proceeding agree to the outcome of the review.
The ITA adds that during the course of this changed circumstances review, it 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 this review.
(See ITA notice for more information including the scope of the order, etc.)
