SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of the
countervailing duty order on PET film from India and/or revocation of
the antidumping duty orders on PET film from India and Taiwan would be
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within
a reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission has determined to
exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days
pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). For further information concerning

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. On July 5, 2013, the Commission
determined that responses to its notice of institution of the subject
five-year reviews were such that full reviews pursuant to section
751(c)(5) of the Act should proceed (78 FR 42105, July 15, 2013). A
record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on
adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements are available
from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's Web site.
Participation in the review and public service list. Persons,
including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the
reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
reviews.
Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list. Pursuant
to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary will make
BPI gathered in these reviews available to authorized applicants under
the APO issued in the reviews, provided that the application is made by
45 days after publication of this notice. Authorized applicants must
represent interested parties, as defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are
parties to the reviews. A party granted access to BPI following
publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the review
need not reapply for such access. A separate service list will be
maintained by the Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI
under the APO.
Staff report. The prehearing staff report in the reviews will be
placed in the nonpublic record on May 2, 2014, and a public version
will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the
Commission's rules.

International Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the
hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission
on or before May 12, 2014. A nonparty who has testimony that may aid
the Commission's deliberations may request permission to present a
short statement at the hearing. All parties and nonparties desiring to
appear at the hearing and make oral presentations should attend a
prehearing conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on May 14, 2014, at the
U.S. International Trade Commission Building. Oral testimony and

Commission's rules. The deadline for filing posthearing briefs is May

Parties may submit final comments on this information on or before June
20, 2014, but such final comments must not contain new factual

that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of sections
201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's

electronic filing.
Additional written submissions to the Commission, including
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, shall
not be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such
submissions, or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request
by a Commissioner or Commission staff.

rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on
all other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or
