[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 136 (Friday, July 15, 2016)] [Notices] [Pages 46046-46047] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-16807] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-570-924] Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From the People's Republic of China: Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2014-2015 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and strip (``PET film'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015. DATES: Effective Date: July 15, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonathan Hill, Office IV, Enforcement & Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3518. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On January 7, 2016, based on a timely request for review by Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc. and SKC, Inc. (collectively, ``Petitioners''), the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PET film from the PRC with respect to four companies covering the period November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2015.\1\ On February 29, 2016, Petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review of all of the companies for which the Department initiated a review.\2\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 736 (January 7, 2016) (``Initiation Notice''). \2\ See Letter from Petitioners to the Secretary of Commerce ``Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Film, Sheet, and Strip from the People's Republic of China: Withdrawal of Request for Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,'' dated February 29, 2016. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rescission of Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, Petitioners timely withdrew [[Page 46047]] their review request by the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. As a result, we are rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PET film from the PRC for the period November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015, in its entirety. Assessment The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed antidumping duties that are equal to the cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after the publication of this notice. Notification to Importers 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 review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Orders This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). Dated: July 11, 2016. Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations. [FR Doc. 2016-16807 Filed 7-14-16; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-P
