SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 16, 1994, the Department published the AD order on 
fresh garlic from the PRC in the Federal Register.\2\ On October 8, 
2014, Yongjia requested that the Department conduct a CCR pursuant to 
section 751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(b) to determine that 
Shanfu II, its garlic supplier, is the successor-in-interest to Shanfu 
I for purposes of the Order.\3\ On November 4, 2014, petitioners \4\ 
submitted comments opposing initiation of this review,\5\ contending 
that Shanfu II is not the successor-in-interest to Shanfu I based on 
Shanfu I's dissolution in June 2012.\6\

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this order is all grades of garlic, 
whether whole or separated into constituent cloves. The subject 
merchandise is currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 0703.20.0000, 
0703.20.0010, 0703.20.0020, 0703.20.0090, 0710.80.7060, 0710.80.9750,

2005.99.9700 and 0703.20.0015. Although the HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product 
description is dispositive.
    A complete description of the scope of the order is contained in 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\11\ The Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at http://access.trade.gov, and ACCESS is available to 
all parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main 
Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.

the Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review of Fresh Garlic

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    In accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the Act, we are conducting 
this changed circumstances review based upon the information contained 
in Yongjia's submissions.\12\ In making a successor-in-interest 
determination, the Department typically examines several factors 
including, but not limited to, changes in: (1) Management; (2) 
production facilities; (3) supplier relationships; and (4) customer 
base.\13\ While no single factor or combination of factors will 
necessarily be dispositive, the Department generally will consider the 
new company to be the successor to the predecessor if the resulting 
operations of the successor are not materially dissimilar to that of 
its predecessor.\14\ Thus, if the record demonstrates that, with 
respect to the production and sale of the subject merchandise, the new 
company operates as the same business entity as the predecessor 
company, the Department may assign the new company the cash deposit 
rate of its predecessor.\15\ For a full description of the methodology 
underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Results of the Changed Circumstances Review

    Based on the evidence reviewed, we preliminarily determine that 
Shanfu II is not the successor-in-interest to Shanfu I. Specifically, 
we find that material changes occurred after Shanfu I dissolved and 
Shanfu II was registered. These were changes in management, business 
scope, production facilities, supplier relationships, and ownership/
legal structure with respect to the production and sale of the subject 
merchandise.\16\ Thus, we preliminarily determine that Shanfu II does 
not operate as the same business entity as Shanfu I with respect to the 
subject merchandise. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum appears in the Appendix to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the Department upholds these preliminary results in the final 
results, Yongjia and Shanfu will be assigned the cash deposit rate 
currently assigned to the PRC-wide entity with respect to the subject 
merchandise (i.e., the $4.71 per kilogram cash deposit rate currently 
assigned to the PRC-wide entity).\17\ If these preliminary results are 
adopted in the final results of this changed circumstances review, we 
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation 
of entries of fresh garlic made by Shanfu II and exported by Yongjia, 
effective on the publication date of the final results, at the cash 
deposit rate assigned to the PRC-wide entity.
