The merchandise covered by these Orders is certain brake drums made of gray cast iron, whether finished or unfinished, with an actual or nominal inside diameter of 14.75 inches or more but not over 16.6 inches, weighing more than 50 pounds. For a full description of the scope of the Orders, see the appendix to this notice. See also Initiation Checklist, ``Certain Brake Drums from the People's Republic of China,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Initiation Checklist), at Attachment I. Merchandise Subject to the Circumvention Inquiry The circumvention inquiry covers compacted graphite iron brake drums with an actual or nominal inside diameter of 14.75 inches or more but not over 16.6 inches, weighing more than 50 pounds, that are produced in China and exported to the United States, including, for example, model number M328D557 produced by PanAsia CVD (HK) Limited. See Webb's Rebuttal Comments at 8. See Initiation Checklist. Initiation of Circumvention Inquiry Section 351.226(d)(1)(iii) of Commerce's regulations states that if Commerce determines that a request for a circumvention inquiry satisfies the requirements of 19 CFR 351.226(c), then Commerce ``will accept the request and initiate a circumvention inquiry.'' Section 351.226(c)(1) of Commerce's regulations, in turn, requires that each circumvention inquiry request allege ``that the elements necessary for a circumvention determination under section 781 of the Act exist'' and be ``accompanied by information reasonably available to the interested party supporting these allegations.'' Webb alleges circumvention pursuant to section 781(d) of the Act (i.e., merchandise developed after an investigation is initiated). Section 781(d)(1) of the Act provides that Commerce may find circumvention of an AD or CVD order when merchandise is developed after an investigation is initiated. In conducting a later-developed merchandise inquiry under section 781(d)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(k), Commerce will consider whether: (A) the later-developed merchandise has the same general physical characteristics as the merchandise with respect to which the order was originally issued (earlier product); (B) the expectations of the ultimate purchasers of the later-developed merchandise are the same as for the earlier product; (C) the ultimate use of the earlier product and the later- developed merchandise are the same; (D) the later-developed merchandise is sold through the same channels of trade as the earlier product; and (E) the later-developed merchandise is advertised and displayed in a manner similar to the earlier product. In addition, section 781(d)(2) of the Act establishes that Commerce may not exclude a later-developed merchandise from a countervailing or antidumping duty order merely because the merchandise is classified under a tariff classification other than that identified in the petition or Commerce's prior notices during the proceeding, or permits the purchaser to perform additional functions, unless such additional functions constitute the primary use of the merchandise and the cost of the additional functions constitute more than a significant proportion of the total cost of production of the merchandise. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(m)(2), for companion AD and CVD proceedings, ``the Secretary will initiate and conduct a single inquiry with respect to the product at issue for both orders only on the record of the antidumping proceeding.'' Further, once ``the Secretary issues a final circumvention determination on the record of the AD proceeding, the Secretary will include a copy of that determination on the record of the CVD.'' Accordingly, once Commerce concludes this circumvention inquiry, Commerce intends to place its final circumvention determination on the record of the companion CVD proceeding. Analysis Based on our analysis of Webb's circumvention inquiry request and supplemental questionnaire response, we determine that they have satisfied the criteria under 19 CFR 351.226(c), and thus, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(d)(1)(iii), we are initiating the requested circumvention inquiry. For a full discussion of the basis for our decision to initiate the circumvention inquiry regarding the later- developed merchandise allegation, see the Circumvention Initiation Checklist. The Circumvention Initiation Checklist is available on ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov . As explained in the Circumvention Initiation Checklist, the information provided by Webb warrants initiating the circumvention inquiry on a country-wide basis. Commerce has taken this approach in prior circumvention inquiries, where the facts warranted initiation on a country-wide basis. See, e.g., Hydrofluorocarbon Blends from the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Circumvention Inquiry on the Antidumping Duty Order, 88 FR 74150 (October 30, 2023). Suspension of Liquidation Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(l)(1), Commerce will notify CBP of this initiation and direct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of entries of products subject to the circumvention inquiry that were already subject to the suspension of liquidation under the Orders and to apply the cash deposit rates that would be applicable if the products were determined to be covered by the scope of the Orders.
