SUMMARY: On October 2, 2007 the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of the changed circumstances review and intent to reinstate Kolon Industries, Inc. (Kolon) in the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and strip (PET film) from the Republic of Korea (Korea). See Polythylene Terephthalate Film Sheet and Strip from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review and Intent to Reinstate Kolon Industries, Inc. in the Antidumping Order, 72 FR 56048 (October 2, 2007) (Preliminary Results). On February 6, 2008 we extended the time frame for completion of this changed circumstances review by 60 days. See Polythylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from the Republic of Korea: Extension of Time Limits for Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, 73 FR 6931 (February 6, 2008). This review covers subject merchandise manufactured and exported by Kolon. The products covered by this order are all gauges of PET film, sheet and strip (see ‘‘Scope of the Review’’ section below). The period of review (POR) is July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes in the margin calculation. Therefore, the final results differ from the preliminary results. We determine rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:19 Apr 02, 2008 Jkt 214001 that Kolon sold subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the POR, and hereby reinstate Kolon in the order. The final weighted–average dumping margin is listed below in the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of Review.’’ EFFECTIVE DATE: April 3, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael J. Heaney or Robert James, AD/ CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4475 or (202) 482– 0649, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On October 2, 2007, the Department published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of changed circumstances review and intent to reinstate Kolon in the antidumping order on PET film from Korea. See Preliminary Results. This review covers sales of subject merchandise by Kolon. The POR is July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. We invited interested parties to comment on the preliminary results of review. On November 5, 2007, we received comments from Kolon and the petitioners (DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc, and Toray Plastics (America) Inc.). On November 13, 2007, Kolon and the Petitioners filed rebuttal comments. At the request of Kolon, we held a hearing on this changed circumstances review on November 21, 2007. On February 6, 2008, we extended the time frame for completion of this changed circumstances review by 60 days. The Department has conducted this changed circumstances review in accordance with section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order Imports covered by this review are shipments of all gauges of raw, pretreated, or primed polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and strip, whether extruded or coextruded. The films excluded from this review are metallized films and other finished films that have had at least one of their surfaces modified by the application of a performance enhancing resinous or inorganic layer of more than 0.00001 inches (0.254 micrometers) thick. PET film is currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) subheading 3920.62.00.90 The HTS subheading is provided for convenience and for customs purposes. The written PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 description remains dispositive as to the scope of the product coverage. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by Kolon and the Petitioners are addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’ (Decision Memorandum) from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated March 30, 2008, which is adopted by this notice. A list of issues which parties have raised is in the Decision Memorandum and is attached to this notice as an appendix. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this review and the corresponding recommendations in the Decision Memorandum which is on file in the Central Records Unit, Room 1117, of the main Commerce Building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Web at https:// www.ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy and the electronic version of the Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made certain changes in the margin calculations. These changes are discussed in the relevant sections of the Decision Memorandum and the Memorandum to the File from Michael J. Heaney dated March 31, 2007 (Analysis Memorandum). Specifically, for these final results: 1) We matched home market and U.S. sales of PET film by their actual thicknesses rather than by thickness ranges. 2) We made a deduction from CEP to account for bank and postal charges incurred by Kolon’s U.S. affiliate. 3) We corrected a clerical error in our recalculation of variable cost of manufacture. Final Results of Review We determine that the following weighted–average margin percentage exists for the period July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006: Manufacturer/Exporter Kolon ..................................... Margin 1.53 percent Since we have established that PET film from Korea manufactured and exported by Kolon is being sold at less than NV, Kolon is hereby reinstated in the antidumping order effective on the publication date of this notice.
