[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 220 (Monday, November 16, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 70754-70755] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-29209] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-570-924] Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Administrative Review; 2013-2014 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: On August 12, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published the preliminary results and partial rescission of the 2013-2014 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and strip (``PET film'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of [[Page 70755]] the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').\1\ The period of review (``POR'') is November 1, 2013, through October 31, 2014. This review was initiated with respect to four companies. After rescinding the review with respect to three of the four companies, one company, Shaoxing Xiangyu Green Packing Co., Ltd. (``Green Packing''), remains under review. The Department invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. No parties commented. Our final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2013-2014, 80 FR 48293 (August 12, 2015) (``Preliminary Results''). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATES: Effective Date: November 16, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonathan Hill, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 3518. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 12, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary Results. We invited interested parties to submit comments on the Preliminary Results, but no comments were received. Scope of the Order The products covered by the order are all gauges of raw, pre- treated, or primed PET film, whether extruded or co-extruded. Excluded are metalized films and other finished films that have had at least one of their surfaces modified by the application of a performance- enhancing resinous or inorganic layer more than 0.00001 inches thick. Also excluded is roller transport cleaning film which has at least one of its surfaces modified by application of 0.5 micrometers of SBR latex. Tracing and drafting film is also excluded. PET film is classifiable under subheading 3920.62.00.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. Separate Rates In the Preliminary Results, we determined that because Green Packing did not provide separate rate information, it did not establish its eligibility for separate rate status. Accordingly, the Department preliminarily determined that Green Packing is part of the PRC-wide entity, and determined a rate consistent with the Department's current practice regarding conditional review of the PRC-wide entity.\2\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ See Preliminary Results and accompanying Decision Memorandum at 4. See also Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65970 (November 4, 2013). Under this practice, the PRC-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or the Department self- initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the PRC-wide entity, the entity is not under review and the entity's rate is not subject to change. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- No party commented on the Preliminary Results. For these final results, the Department continues to find that Green Packing is part of the PRC-wide entity. Final Results of Review The Department determines that Green Packing is part of the PRC- wide entity. Assessment The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\3\ The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these final results of review. The Department intends to instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise from Green Packing at the PRC-wide rate of 76.72 percent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters which are not under review in this segment of the proceeding but which have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (2) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, including Green Packing, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 76.72 percent; and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. Notification to Interested Parties This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the 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 notification of the destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. We are issuing and publishing these results and this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act. Dated: November 9, 2015. Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. [FR Doc. 2015-29209 Filed 11-13-15; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-P
