The Commerce Department is initiating a changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on certain vertical shaft engines between 225cc and 999cc, and parts thereof (vertical shaft engines) from China (A-570-119) at the request of Honda, which seeks to have its name change from Jialing-Honda Motors Co., Ltd. to Honda Power Products (China) Co., Ltd. recognized for successor-in-interest purposes related to the AD rate it would inherit. In its request, Honda said the change is in name only and that its business operations remain substantially unchanged.
