Download as PDF 9744 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 22, 2011 / Notices The application was processed in accordance with T/IM procedures, as authorized by FTZ Board Orders 1347 (69 FR 52857, 8/30/04) and 1480 (71 FR 55422, 9/22/06). The Baxter facility and activity in question had initially been proposed to the FTZ Board for subzone authority, including notice in the Federal Register inviting public comment (FTZ Doc. 60–2010, 75 FR 65448, 10/25/2010). To enable expedited authority for Baxter in the context of the FTZ Board’s recent approval of the reorganization of FTZ 22 under the alternative site framework (ASF) (Board Order 1738, 1/12/2011, 76 FR 4285, 1/25/2011), FTZ 22 subsequently requested to designate the Baxter facility as a usage-driven site (Site 21, A27f-2–2011, 1/14/2011), and requested T/IM authority for Baxter’s manufacturing of I.V. products. The foreign-origin component approved for this activity is laminated film (HTSUS 3920.10). The FTZ staff examiner reviewed the application and determined that it meets the criteria for approval under T/IM procedures. As noted above, public comment had been sought on the specific proposed activity through the Federal Register notice published regarding the proposed subzone authority (FTZ Doc. 60–2010). Pursuant to the authority delegated to the FTZ Board Executive Secretary in the above-referenced Board Orders, the application for T/IM authority is approved, effective this date, until February 11, 2013, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board’s regulations, including Section 400.28.

SUMMARY: On August 16, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film (PET Film) from Taiwan. See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From Taiwan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 49902 (August 16, 2010) (Preliminary Results). The review was requested by DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film of America, SKC, Inc., and Toray Plastics (America), Inc. (collectively, Petitioners). This review covers the following producers/ exporters of the subject merchandise: Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, Ltd. (Nan Ya), and Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation (SSFC) and Shinkong Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (SMTC) (collectively, Shinkong). The period of review (POR) is July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009. Based on the results of our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes to the preliminary results, which are discussed in the ‘‘Changes Since the Preliminary Results’’ section, below. For the final dumping margins, see the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section, below. DATES: Effective Date: February 22, 2011. AGENCY: mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gene Calvert or Jun Jack Zhao, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 428–3586 or (202) 428– 1396, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:51 Feb 18, 2011 Jkt 223001 Background On August 16, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Results. In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily determined that, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f), SSFC and SMTC should be treated as a single entity for purposes of calculating an antidumping margin. The Department also found that despite the passing of a single family member, Nan Ya was still affiliated with three U.S. customers through a family grouping. Subsequent to the publication of the Preliminary Results, these affiliated U.S. customers submitted revised sales datasets, as requested by the Department, to correct information regarding their reported product matching information, and to correct problems preventing the accurate consolidation of their sales data with Nan Ya’s datasets. As a result, Nan Ya’s margin has changed for these final results. On December 10, 2010, the Department extended the deadline for issuing the final results until no later than February 14, 2011. See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From Taiwan: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 76954 (December 10, 2010). On December 22, 2010, the Department determined that amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET) film products that are not biaxially-oriented, such as the APET products produced by Nan Ya, are not covered by the scope of the antidumping order on PET Film from Taiwan. See Memorandum from Barbara E. Tillman, Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, ‘‘Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from Taiwan: Final Scope Ruling on Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Film,’’ December 22, 2010 (Scope Memorandum). The Department reached this conclusion after analyzing findings of the U.S. International Trade Commission regarding the delimiting nature of biaxial-orientation as a product characteristic of subject PET Film, as well as the Department’s previous determination that biaxiallyoriented APET is not within the scope of the antidumping duty (AD) order on PET Film from the People’s Republic of China (PRC), for which the scope is essentially identical to the scope in the subject case, except for language excluding Roller transport cleaning film, and tracing and drafting film from the PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9745 PRC AD order. See Memorandum to John M. Andersen, ‘‘Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from the People’s Republic of China: Final Scope Ruling on Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheet, Glycol-modified Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheet, and Co-extruded Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheet with Glycol-modified Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheets on the Outer Surfaces,’’ January 7, 2010. As we noted in the Scope Memorandum, the exclusionary language referenced above was not relevant to the scope ruling with respect to the instant proceeding. Both Nan Ya and Shinkong informed the Department that they did not report sales of any merchandise within the scope ruling. Thus, no adjustments were needed to the Preliminary Results as a result of the scope ruling for either company. The Department noted in the Preliminary Results that additional supplemental questions regarding quarterly cost information had been issued to both Nan Ya and Shinkong to determine whether it was appropriate to use shorter cost averaging periods in calculating cost of production and constructed value. After reviewing responses to these questionnaires, on December 23, 2010, the Department issued post-preliminary results of review and determined that the use of an alternative cost averaging methodology (i.e., quarterly cost) was not warranted. Thus, the postpreliminary results of review resulted in no changes to either respondent’s AD margin. See Memorandum from Mark Hoadley, Program Manager, Office 6, to Christian Marsh, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, ‘‘2008–2009 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Film from Taiwan: Post-Preliminary Analysis and Calculation Memorandum for Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, Ltd. (Nan Ya) and Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation (Shinkong)’’ (PostPreliminary Analysis Memorandum), December 23, 2010. With the release of the PostPreliminary Analysis Memorandum, the Department notified interested parties that they were to file their case briefs with the Department by January 7, 2011, and rebuttal briefs were to be filed by January 13, 2011, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(d)(1).
