et seq.), the Economic Development
Administration (EDA) has received
petitions for certification of eligibility to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
from the firms listed below.
Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether

decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.

determinations by the Department of

and material injury to an industry in the
United States, the Department is
publishing this notice of continuation of
the AD orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 25, 2000, the Department
published the AD Orders on polyester
staple fiber from Korea and Taiwan.1 On
August 1, 2016, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
third sunset review of the AD Orders on
polyester staple fiber from Korea and
Taiwan, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).2 As a result of its review, the
Department determined that revocation
of the AD Orders would likely lead to
a continuation or recurrence of
dumping.3 The Department, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail should the AD
Orders be revoked. On January 18, 2017,
the ITC determined that revoking the
AD Orders on polyester staple fiber from
Korea and Taiwan would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury with a reasonably
foreseeable time.4

Scope of the Orders
Polyester staple fiber covered by the
orders 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 orders may be coated, usually with
a silicon, or other finish, or not coated.
Polyester staple fiber 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 5503.20.00.25
is specifically excluded from the orders.
Also, specifically excluded from the
orders are polyester staple fibers 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 polyester staple fiber is
excluded from the orders. Low-melt
polyester staple fiber is defined as a bicomponent fiber with an outer sheath
that melts at a significantly lower
temperature than its inner core. The
merchandise subject to the orders is
currently classifiable in the HTSUS at
subheadings 5503.20.00.45 and
5503.20.00.65. The HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and
customs purposes only; the written
description of the merchandise covered
by the scope of the orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the AD Orders would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, pursuant
to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(a), the Department hereby
orders the continuation of the AD
Orders on polyester staple fiber from
Korea and Taiwan. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
