Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 24, 2015, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
polyester staple fiber (PSF) from
Taiwan.1 For these final results, we
continue to find that Far Eastern New
Century Corporation (FENC) did not sell
subject merchandise at less than normal
value, and that Nan Ya Plastics
Corporation (Nan Ya) had no shipments
during the period of review (POR).
DATES: Effective Date: July 2, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On March 24, 2015, the Department
published the Preliminary Results. The
POR is May 1, 2013 through April 30,
2014. We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments.
The Department conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
PSF. PSF is defined as synthetic staple
fibers, not carded, combed or otherwise
processed for spinning, of polyesters
measuring 3.3 decitex (3 denier,
inclusive) or more in diameter. This
merchandise is cut to lengths varying
from one inch (25 mm) to five inches
(127 mm). The merchandise subject to
the order may be coated, usually with a
silicon or other finish, or not coated.
PSF is generally used as stuffing in
sleeping bags, mattresses, ski jackets,
comforters, cushions, pillows, and

furniture. Merchandise of less than 3.3
decitex (less than 3 denier) currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
at subheading 5503.20.00.20 is
specifically excluded from the order.
Also specifically excluded from the
order are PSF of 10 to 18 denier that are
cut to lengths of 6 to 8 inches (fibers
used in the manufacture of carpeting).
In addition, low-melt PSF is excluded
from the order. Low-melt PSF is defined
as a bi-component fiber with an outer
sheath that melts at a significantly lower
temperature than its inner core.
The merchandise subject to the order
is currently classifiable in the HTSUS at
subheadings 5503.20.00.40,
5503.20.00.45, 5503.20.00.60, and
5503.20.00.65. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
subject to the order is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
For the final results of this review, we
determine that Nan Ya had no
shipments during the POR.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
The Department made no changes to
its calculations announced in the
Preliminary Results.
Final Results of the Review
For the final results of this review, we
determine that a weighted-average
dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists
for FENC for the POR.
Assessment Rates
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212
and the Final Modification,2 the
Department will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate
all appropriate entries for FENC without
regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by FENC for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.3
Consistent with the Assessment Policy
Notice, because we continue to find that
Nan Ya had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States, we

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 sanctionable violation.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
final results of administrative review for
all shipments of subject merchandise
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) The cash
deposit rate for FENC will be 0.00
percent, the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for Nan
Ya and previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recently completed segment of
this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation but
the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
manufacturer of the merchandise for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (4) the cash deposit rate for
all other manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 7.31 percent.4 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

18, 2015, the Department published its
affirmative Preliminary Determination
in the LTFV investigation of melamine
from the PRC.2 On June 5, 2015, Allied
Chemicals Inc. (‘‘Allied Chemicals’’)
and Sichuan Golden-Elephant Sincerity
Chemical Co., Ltd. (‘‘Golden Elephant’’),
mandatory respondents in this
investigation, requested that the
Department postpone its final
determination by 60 days (i.e., to 135
days after publication of the Preliminary
Determination).3 On June 9, 2015,
Allied Chemicals and Golden Elephant
agreed to extend the application of the
provisional measures prescribed under
section 733(d) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(e)(2), from a four-month period
to a period not to exceed six months.4
Postponement of Final Determination
Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), provides
that a final determination may be
postponed until not later than 135 days
after the date of the publication of the
preliminary determination if, in the
event of an affirmative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by exporters who
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise, or in
the event of a negative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by the petitioner.
Section 351.210(e)(2) of the
Department’s regulations requires that
requests by respondents for
postponement of a final determination
be accompanied by a request for
extension of provisional measures from
a four-month period to a period not
more than six months in duration.
In accordance with section
735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(2)(ii), because (1) our
preliminary determination was
affirmative; (2) the requesting producers
or exporters account for a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise from their respective
country; and (3) no compelling reasons
for denial exist, we are postponing the
