Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Because no party submitted a case brief in response to the 
Department's Preliminary Results, and because the record contains no 
other information or evidence that calls into question the Preliminary 
Results, the Department continues to find that Zhejiang Fuma is the 
successor-in-interest to Huzhou Fuma, and is entitled to Huzhou Fuma's 
cash deposit rate with respect to entries of merchandise subject to the 
AD order on MLWF from the PRC.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For a complete discussion of the Department's findings, 
which remain unchanged in these final results and which are herein 
incorporated by reference and adopted by this notice, see generally 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum accompanying the Preliminary 
Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    Based on these final results, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to collect estimated ADs for all shipments of subject 
merchandise exported by Zhejiang Fuma and entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice in the Federal Register at the current AD cash deposit rate for 
Huzhou Fuma (i.e., 58.84 percent). This cash deposit requirement shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Interested Parties

administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion 
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply
