action.
6. Possible designation of ‘‘user–
driven’’ sites to serve companies
not located in an anchor or magnet
site but which are ready to pursue
conducting activity under FTZ
procedures. In the general interest
of maximizing the linkage between
FTZ site designation and FTZ
activity at the site, a user–driven
site would be limited in the context
of a larger industrial park or
business district where other
companies interested in FTZ
procedures might be able to locate
in the future to the area(s) required
for the company(ies) ready to
pursue conducting activity under
FTZ procedures.
7. Unlike anchor and magnet sites,
user–driven sites could be
designated through the current
minor boundary modification
(MBM) mechanism a rapid
administrative action by the Board’s
staff in addition to through FTZ
Board action. A simplification of
the MBM process would result from
elimination of the need to ‘‘swap’’
like amounts of acreage from
existing sites as long as the total
acreage for existing and proposed
sites remained within the standard
2,000–acre limit.
8. In addition to the one anchor site,
general initial limits of five magnet
sites and ten user–driven sites
which could exist simultaneously
for a single FTZ. Increases of the
limits applicable to a specific
grantee could be justified over a
longer term based on FTZ activity at
a significant percentage of the
grantee’s designated sites. A
grantee’s request for a permanent
increase in its number of authorized
sites would be a matter for
consideration by the FTZ Board.
Also, the special circumstances of
regional (multi–county) FTZs could
be taken into account by an
alternative general initial limit for
such zones of two magnet sites per
county. (Other limits in the
proposal would be unaffected by
such an alternative initial limit on
numbers of magnet sites for regional
FTZs.)
9. Consistent with current practice for
many expansion applications,
magnet sites and user–driven sites
would be subject to ‘‘sunset’’ time
limits which would self–remove
FTZ designation from a site if there
had been no FTZ activity before the
site’s sunset date (generally five
years from the date of the site’s
approval). Magnet sites and user–

Jkt 214001
driven sites would also be subject to
ongoing ‘‘recycling’’ whereby FTZ
activity at a site during the site’s
initial sunset period would serve to
push back the sunset date by
another five years (when the sunset
test based on FTZ activity would
again apply).
It is important to note that the
elements of the proposal support each
other in furthering the goals of
flexibility and focus for FTZ site
designation (with important resulting
resource- and efficiency–related benefits
for the government). As such, a
framework incorporating these types of
elements would incorporate the package
of elements as an available alternative to
the Board’s current practice. FTZ
grantees opting to manage their zones
under the Board’s current framework
would be unaffected by this proposal.
As is currently the case, MBM actions
would be approved by the Board’s staff
while modifications to a zone’s ‘‘plan’’
(e.g., increase in authorized FTZ
acreage, modification to service area)
would be matters for the FTZ Board’s
consideration.
In addition, in order to help the FTZ
Board evaluate the effectiveness and
appropriateness of the alternative
framework after actual experience with
FTZ grantees, the FTZ staff would
report to the Board on a periodic basis
regarding the actual usage of the
alternative framework. The staff’s
reporting regarding implementation of
the framework at individual
participating FTZs would result from
staff–initiated reviews and would not
require any request or application from
the grantee.
Public comment on this proposal is
invited from interested parties. We ask
that parties fax a copy of their
comments, addressed to the Board’s
Executive Secretary, to (202) 482–0002.
We also ask that parties submit the
original of their comments to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the

SUMMARY: On April 3, 2008, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published in the Federal
Register the final results of the
antidumping duty changed
circumstances review and reinstatement
of the antidumping order on
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet,
and strip from Korea. The review
covered a single firm, Kolon Industries,
Inc. (Kolon) and the period July 1, 2005
to June 30, 2006. See Polyethylene
Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip
from the Republic of Korea; Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Changed
Circumstances Review and
Reinstatement of the Antidumping Duty
Order, 73 FR 18259 (April 3, 2008)
(Final Results). We are amending the
Final Results to correct a ministerial
error in the calculation of the cash
deposit rate for Kolon pursuant to 19
CFR 351.224(e).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
7, 2008, the Department received from
Kolon a timely allegation of a
ministerial error pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(c)(1). Kolon alleges an error in
formatting product–specific control
numbers. Kolon asserts the Department
assigned a revised field of only 6
characters in length for the variable
CONNUM2H in the home market
comparison program while assigning a
field length of 10 characters for the
variable CONNUM2H in the margin
program. Kolon argues that the effect of
this error is to truncate some of the
CONNUM2H values used for matching
purposes in the final results. Petitioners
did not comment on the alleged
ministerial error.

Amended Final Results of Review
A ministerial error as defined in
section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the act) ‘‘includes errors in
addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
type of unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ See also 19 CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing Kolon’s allegation, we
have determined, in accordance with
section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(e), that the Department made a
ministerial error in the final results by
inadvertently setting the field length for
CONNUM2H in the comparison market
program to 6 characters rather than 10
characters. Therefore, we are amending
the final results of this antidumping
duty changed circumstances review of
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet,
and strip from Korea. In these amended
final results we have assigned a
character length of 10 for the
CONNUM2H variable used in the
comparison market program. As a result
of this correction, the weighted–average
percentage margin for Kolon has
changed from 1.53 percent to 1.52
percent. We will issue amended cash
deposit instructions for these amended
final results of this administrative
review to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection 15 days after publication of
these amended final results. There are
no changes to the rates applicable to any
other companies under this
antidumping order. See Final Results.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR
351.224(e).

that revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on polyethylene terephthalate
film, sheet, and strip (PET film) from
India and Taiwan would likely lead to
a continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, the Department is
publishing a notice of continuation for
these antidumping duty orders.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 8, 2008.

respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department initiated and the ITC
instituted sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty orders on PET film
from India and Taiwan, pursuant to
Section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act). See Initiation of
Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 72 FR
30544 (June 1, 2007) (Notice of
Initiation).
As a result of its reviews, the
Department found that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and therefore notified the ITC
of the magnitude of the margins likely
to prevail were the orders to be revoked.
See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film,
Sheet, and Strip from India and Taiwan:
Final Results of the Expedited Sunset
Reviews of the Antidumping Duty
Orders, 72 FR 57297 (October 9, 2007).
On April 10, 2008, the ITC
determined, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act, that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on PET film
from India and Taiwan would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time. See Polyethylene
Terephthalate (PET) Film, Sheet, and
Strip from India and Taiwan (Inv. Nos.
701–TA–415 and 731–TA–933–934,
USITC Publication 3994 (Review) (April
2008)).
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are all gauges of raw, pretreated or
primed PET film, whether extruded or
coextruded. Excluded 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 thick. Imports of PET film are
currently classifiable in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) under item number
3920.62.00.90. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for the
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive. Since these orders
were published, there was one scope
determination for PET film from India,
dated August 25, 2003. In this
determination, requested by
International Packaging Films Inc., the
Department determined that tracing and
drafting film is outside of the scope of
the order on PET film from India. See
Notice of Scope Rulings, 70 FR 24533
(May 10, 2005).
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of these determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of these antidumping duty
orders would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping duty orders on PET film
from India and Taiwan. U.S. Customs
and Border Protection will continue to
collect antidumping duty cash deposits
at the rates in effect at the time of entry
for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation
of these orders will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next
five-year review of these orders not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: May 2, 2008.

Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.
