Background
On July 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (Department) published
a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty (AD) order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet
and strip from India covering the period July 1, 2010, through June 30,
2011. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review,
76 FR 38609, 38610 (July 1, 2011). The Department received a timely
request from Petitioners \1\ for an AD administrative review of five
companies: Ester Industries Limited (Ester), Garware Polyester Ltd.
(Garware), Jindal Poly Films Limited of India (Jindal), Polyplex
[[Page 3731]]
Corporation Ltd. (Polyplex), and SRF Limited (SRF). The Department also
received timely requests for an AD review from Vacmet India Ltd.
(Vacmet) and Polypacks Industries of India (Polypacks). On August 26,
2011, the Department published a notice of initiation of administrative
review with respect to Ester, Garware, Jindal, Polyplex, SRF, Vacmet,
and Polypacks. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 53404
(August 26, 2011). On August 23, 2011, Vacmet and Polypacks withdrew
their requests for a review. The Department published a rescission, in
part, of the AD administrative review with respect to Vacmet and
Polypacks on September 20, 2011. See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film,
Sheet and Strip From India: Rescission, In Part, of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 76 FR 58244 (September 20, 2011). On November
25, 2011, Petitioners withdrew their request for AD administrative
reviews of Ester and Garware.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Petitioners are DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester
Film, Inc., SKC, Inc., and Toray Plastics (America), Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
Petitioners' withdrawal was submitted within the 90-day period and thus
is timely.\2\ Because Petitioners' withdrawal of their requests for
review is timely and because no other party requested a review of Ester
and Garware, we are rescinding this review with respect to these
companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The administrative
review of Jindal, Polyplex, and SRF continues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The 90th day fell on November 24, 2011, a non-business day.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(b), if an applicable due date falls on a
non-business day, the Department will accept as timely a document
that is filed on the next business day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Subject
merchandise of Ester and Garware will be assessed antidumping duties at
rates equal to the cash deposit 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 assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date
of publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a 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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a 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/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.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: January 19, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
