SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On March 30, 2015, the Department of
Commerce (Department) initiated
antidumping duty investigations on
certain polyethylene terephthalate resin
from Canada, the PRC, India, and
Oman.1 Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1) state the
Department will make a preliminary
determination no later than 140 days
after the date of the initiation. The
current deadline for the preliminary
determinations of these investigations is
no later than August 17, 2015.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
On July 21, 2015, DAK Americas,
LLC, M&G Chemicals, and Nan Ya
Plastics Corporation, America
(Petitioners) made a timely request,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e), for
postponement of the preliminary
determinations, in order to give the
Department the necessary time to
further develop the record in this
proceeding through additional
questionnaires, which Petitioners will
in turn need time to analyze and

possibly comment on. Because there are
no compelling reasons to deny
Petitioners’ request, in accordance with
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, the
Department is postponing the deadline
for the preliminary determinations by
50 days.
For the reasons stated above, the
Department, in accordance with section
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing
the deadline for the preliminary
determinations to no later than 190 days
after the date on which the Department
initiated these investigations. Therefore,
the new deadline for the preliminary
determinations is October 6, 2015. In
accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the
Act, the deadline for the final
determinations of these investigations
will continue to be 75 days after the
date of the preliminary determinations,
unless postponed at a later date.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently,
hogfish are managed under two FMPs.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council (Gulf of Mexico
Council) manages one hogfish stock in
the FMP for the Reef Fish Resources of
the Gulf of Mexico. The South Atlantic
Council manages the other hogfish stock
in the FMP for the Snapper-Grouper
Fishery of the South Atlantic Region. In
August 2014, the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission
completed a benchmark stock
assessment for hogfish as part of the

Review (SEDAR) process (SEDAR 37).
Amendment 37 responds to the August
2014 benchmark stock assessment of
hogfish that defined three separate
stocks in the South Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico, including one stock that is
subject to overfishing and is overfished.
Amendment 37 and the associated EIS
consider new reference points, status
determination criteria, catch levels, and
management measures for the two new
stocks in the South Atlantic, including
a rebuilding plan for the stock that is
overfished.
In October 2014, the South Atlantic
Council’s Scientific and Statistical
Committee (SSC) reviewed the stock
assessment and provided recommended
approaches for calculating fishing level
recommendations, which the South
Atlantic Council reviewed at their
December 2014 meeting. Based on
genetic evidence used in the stock
assessment, the SSC supported the
assessment’s approach of defining two
separate hogfish stocks in the South
Atlantic, one stock off Georgia and
North Carolina (GA-NC) and one stock
off the Florida Keys and eastern Florida
(FLK/EFL), and a third stock in the
eastern Gulf of Mexico off the west coast
of Florida (WFL).
The SSC determined that the stock
assessment for the GA-NC stock does
not represent the best scientific
information available for determining
stock status, i.e., whether the stock is
subject to overfishing or is overfished,
or for informing management decisions.
Instead, they recommended that catch
level recommendations for the GA-NC
hogfish stock be developed using the
Only Reliable Catch Stocks (ORCS)
approach set forth in Level 4 of the
Council’s acceptable biological catch
(ABC) control rule. Using the ORCS
approach, the ABC for the GA-NC stock
recommended by the SSC is 28,161
pounds whole weight (lb ww).
For the FLK/EFL stock, the SSC
determined that the benchmark stock
assessment represents the best scientific
information available and recommended
it for use in management decisions. The
assessment results indicate the FLK/EFL
stock is undergoing overfishing and is
overfished.
Amendment 37 and the associated EIS
consider and evaluate a number of
management actions responding to this
new scientific information and the
recommendations from the South
Atlantic Council’s SSC. The
management actions include modifying
the hogfish management unit from one
stock to two separate stocks in the South
Atlantic, and defining individual stock
boundaries, including the boundary
between the FLK/EFL stock managed by
