Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 77 / Friday, April 22, 2005 / Notices
under subheading 3907.60.0010 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS); however,
merchandise classified under HTSUS
subheading 3907.60.0050 that otherwise
meets the written description of the
scope is also subject to these
investigations. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
under investigation is dispositive.
Background
On March 21, 2005, the Department
published the Final Determination for
its countervailing duty investigation of
bottle grade PET Resin from India. On
March 25, 2005, in accordance with
section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(c)(2), Reliance filed timely
allegations that the Department erred in
calculating the countervailing duty rate
for the Final Determination. First,
according to Reliance, the Department
erred by using an incorrect benchmark
interest rate for calculating the
countervailable benefits from the State
of Maharashtra and State of Gujarat
Programs. Second, Reliance alleged that
the Department made several
typographical errors by incorrectly
transcribing the benchmark interest rate
for certain imports made pursuant to the
Export Promotion Capital Goods
Scheme (EPCGS) program during the
first quarter of 2003.
After reviewing Reliance’s allegations,
we have determined that the
Department did make the errors alleged
by Reliance and that those errors are
ministerial errors as defined in section
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f).
Therefore, we are amending the Final
Determination to correct the abovedescribed ministerial errors. We agree
with Reliance that the Department
stated in the Final Determination that it
would use the company-specific lending
rate for the POI as the benchmark
interest rate for the State of Maharashtra
and State of Gujarat Programs but in the
calculations, we used a different
benchmark interest rate. We also agree
with Reliance that we made a few
typographical errors in transcribing the
benchmark interest rate for the EPCGS
program that was applied to certain
imports under this program during the
first quarter of 2003. Accordingly, in
this amended final determination we
have corrected these errors. See
Analysis Memorandum for Amended
Final Countervailing Duty
Determination; PET Resin from India,
dated April 18, 2005.

Amended Final Results of Review
In the Final Determination, the
Department determined the
countervailing duty rate for Reliance to
be 20.26 percent ad valorem, and the
‘‘All Others’’ rate to be 14.63 percent ad
valorem. As a result of correcting the
ministerial errors, the Department has
amended the countervailing duty rate
for Reliance and the ‘‘All Others’’ rate.
The rates for Elque Polyesters Ltd.,
Futura Polyesters Ltd., and South Asia
Petrochem Ltd. have not changed since
the Final Determination. The correct
countervailing duty rates are shown
below:
Producer/exporter
Subsidy rate
Reliance Industries Ltd.

All Others .....................

19.08% ad valorem.
6.15% ad valorem.
12.41% ad valorem.
14.55% ad valorem.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with our preliminary
determination, we instructed U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
suspend liquidation of all entries of PET
Resin from India, which were entered or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after August 30,
2004, the date of the publication of our
Preliminary Determination in the
Federal Register. In accordance with
section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed
CBP to discontinue the suspension of
liquidation for merchandise entered on
or after December 28, 2004, but to
continue the suspension of liquidation
of entries made between August 30,
2004, through December 27, 2004.
If the International Trade Commission
(ITC) issues a final affirmative injury
determination, we will issue a
countervailing duty order, reinstate
suspension of liquidation under section
706(a) of the Act for all entries, and
require a cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties for such entries of
merchandise at the rates indicated
above. If the ITC determines that
material injury, or threat of material
injury, does not exist, this proceeding
will be terminated and all estimated
duties deposited or securities posted as
a result of the suspension of liquidation
will be refunded or canceled.
ITC Notification
In accordance with section 705(d) of
the Act, we will notify the ITC of our
amended final countervailing duty
determination. In addition, we are
mailing available to the ITC all nonprivileged and non-proprietary
information related to this investigation.

We will allow the ITC access to all
privileged and business proprietary
information in our files, provided that
the ITC confirms that it will not disclose
such information, either publicly or
under an administrative protective order
(APO), without the written consent of
the Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.
Return or Destruction of Proprietary
Information
In the event that the ITC issues a final
negative injury determination, this
notice will serve as the only reminder
to parties subject to APO of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to
comply is a violation of the APO.
This determination is issued and
published pursuant to sections 705(d)
and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: April 18, 2005.

Title: Dielectric Slit Die for In-line
Monitoring of Liquids Processing.
Abstract: This invention is jointly
owned by the U.S. Government, as
represented by the Department of
Commerce, and Chemical
ElectroPhysics. The dielectric slit die is
an instrument that is designed to
measure electrical, rheological,
ultrasonics, optical and other properties
of a flowing liquid. In one application,
it is connected to the exit of an extruder,
pump or mixing machine that passes
liquefied material such as molten
plastic, solvents, slurries, colloidal
suspensions and foodstuffs into the
sensing region of the slit shaped die.
Dielectric sensing is the primary
element of the slit die, but in addition
to the dielectric sensor, the die contains
other sensing devices such as pressure,
optical fiber and ultrasonic sensors that
simultaneously yield an array of
materials property data. The slit die has
a flexible design that permits
interchangeability among sensors and
sensor positions. The design also allows
for the placement of additional sensors
and instrumentation ports that expand
the potential data package obtained.

Title: Micromachined Alkali-atom
Vapor Cells and Method of Fabrication.
Abstract: This invention is jointly
owned by the U.S. Government, as
represented by the Department of
Commerce, and the University of
Colorado. A method of fabricating
compact alkali vapor filled cells that
have volumes of 1 cm.sup.3 or less that
are useful in atomic frequency reference
devices such as atomic clocks.
According to one embodiment the alkali
vapor filled cells are formed by sealing
the ends of small hollow glass fibers.
According to another embodiment the
alkali vapor filled cells are formed by
anodic bonding of glass plates to silicon
wafers to seal the openings of holes
formed in the silicon wafers. The anodic
bonding method of fabricating the alkali
vapor filled cells enables the production
of semi-monolithic integrated physics
packages of various designs.

Detection of Multiple proteins in a Submicroliter Biological Sample.
Abstract: This invention is jointly
owned by the U.S. Government, as
represented by the Department of
Commerce, and the National Institutes
of Health. A chip-based microfluidic
device for high-throughput, multianalyte immunoaffinity capture and
detection of proteins can be used for the
simultaneous isolation and quantitation
of multiple proteins from microliter
samples of biological fluids. The device
architecture has advantages over
existing array technology in that the
proteins are detected by single-point
capture and much smaller sample
volumes can be used. The device also
has the potential to greatly reduce the
cost of analyzing a sample through reuse
of the channels with the bound
antibodies for multiple samples. The
device can be integrated into the other
analytic equipment or on-chip detectors.
