The ITA initiated this review to determine whether SNR Roulements S.A. is the successor-in-interest prior to acquisition by NTN Bearing Corporation of America (NBCA).
ITA Preliminarily Determines SNR is Successor-in-Interest to Pre-Acquisition SNR/NBCA
The ITA preliminarily determines that, after acquisition by NBCA, SNR is the successor-in-interest to pre-acquisition SNR.
Consequently, the ITA preliminarily determines that post-acquisition SNR should be assigned the same AD duty treatment as pre-acquisition SNR (currently 13.32%). (See ITT's Online Archives or 10/16/07 news, 07101645, for BP summary of the ITA's most recent final results of administrative review for pre-acquisition SNR.)
During the course of this changed circumstances review, the ITA will not change any cash deposit requirements on entries of merchandise subject to the AD duty order unless a change is determined to be warranted pursuant to the final results of this changed circumstances review.
The ITA will issue the final results of this AD duty changed circumstances review not later than 270 days after September 14, 2009, or within 45 days if all parties to the proceeding agree to the preliminary results.
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, etc.
