Notice of Initiation
Summary: U.S. Department of Commerce initiates changed circumstances review upon request from Evotape Packaging, S.r.l., which claims successorship to Tyco Adhesives Italia S.p.A. Because the Department of Commerce only initiated the changed circumstances review, it means that Evotape Packaging did not submit sufficient evidence of successorship with its request for the review. For the preliminary determination, the Department of Commerce will seek information demonstrating insignificant changes in the management, production facilities, supplier relationships, and customer base when comparing the former and current entities.
