Domestic Industry 4. The application for the sunset review has been filed by M/s. Omnova Solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as petitioner) who has claimed to be the sole domestic producer of the product under consideration in the country and has provided relevant information for the purposes of the present petition. M/s. Omnova Solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd have certified that there are no imports of the product under consideration by them either directly or through an affiliated company from Korea RP and they are related to any importer in India or exporter from Korea . Having regard to Rules, the Authority, determines that the petitioner constitutes Domestic Industry within the meaning of the Anti Dumping Rules for the purpose of present investigation. Product under consideration and Like Article 5. The product involved in the original investigation and earlier sun set review was Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) also known as Nitrile Rubber falling under heading No. 40025900 in Chapter 40 of the First Schedule to the said Customs Tariff Act and ITC HS Classification. This being a sunset review investigation, the scope of the investigation is limited to the product already identified in the earlier investigations. This classification is however, indicative only and in no way binding on the scope of the present investigation.¹Hkkx Iµ[k.M 1º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 5 NBR is used in the manufacture of various rubber articles where resistance to oil, abrasion and heat applications are involved, such as oil seals, hoses, automotive products, gaskets, rice de-husking rolls, printers, fabrics, oilfield products, etc. The major raw materials required for NBR are Acrylonitrile and Butadiene. Different grades of NBR are defined in terms of mooney viscosity and acrylonitrile content. The subject goods produced by domestic industry are used interchangeably with those imported from the subject countries. 6. Petitioner has claimed that there is no known difference between the subject goods exported from the subject country and that produced by the petitioner. Subject goods produced by the domestic industry and imported from the subject country are comparable in terms of essential product characteristics such as physical and chemical characteristics, manufacturing process and technology, functions and uses, product specifications, pricing, distribution and marketing and tariff classification of the goods. Consumers can use and are using the two interchangeably. The two are technically and commercially substitutable. The Authority considers that NBR produced by the domestic industry is like article to that imported from the subject country for the purpose of present investigation. Initiation of Sunset Review 7.
