Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are all gauges of raw, pre-treated, or
primed PET film, whether extruded or
co-extruded. 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 more than 0.00001
inches thick. Also excluded is roller
transport cleaning film which has at
least one of its surfaces modified by
application of 0.5 micrometers of SBR
latex. Tracing and drafting film is also
excluded. PET film is classifiable under
subheading 3920.62.00.90 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). While HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of
the Department’s regulations, the
Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review, or withdraws at a
later date if the Department exercises its
discretion to extend the time limit for
withdrawing the request. Petitioners
withdrew their request within the 90day deadline, and no other party
requested a review. Therefore, we are
rescinding the review with respect to all
companies.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties
shall be assessed at rates equal to the
cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
Notifications
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of the antidumping

duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 1, 2012, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
third sunset review of the antidumping
duty order on clad steel plate from
Japan pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Act. See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset)
Review, 77 FR 4995 (Feb. 1, 2012)
(Notice of Initiation).
On February 15, 2012, the Department
received a notice of intent to participate
from ArcelorMittal USA, LLC (AMUSA),
a domestic interested party, within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). The company claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act as a U.S. producer
of clad steel plate in the United States.
The Department received an adequate
substantive response to the notice of
initiation from AMUSA within the 30day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no
substantive responses from respondent
interested parties with respect to the
order covered by this sunset review. As
a result, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on clad steel plate from Japan.
Scope of the Order
The scope of the order is all clad 1
steel plate of a width of 600 millimeters
(mm) or more and a composite thickness
of 4.5 mm or more. Clad steel plate is
a rectangular finished steel mill product
consisting of a layer of cladding material
(usually stainless steel or nickel) which
is metallurgically bonded to a base or
backing of ferrous metal (usually carbon
or low alloy steel) where the latter
predominates by weight.
1 Cladding is the association of layers of metals
of different colors or natures by molecular
interpenetration of the surfaces in contact. This
limited diffusion is characteristic of clad products
and differentiates them from products metalized in
other manners (e.g., by normal electroplating). The
various cladding processes include pouring molten
cladding metal onto the basic metal followed by
rolling; simple hot-rolling of the cladding metal to
ensure efficient welding to the basic metal; any
other method of deposition of superimposing of the
cladding metal followed by any mechanical or
thermal process to ensure welding (e.g.,
electrocladding), in which the cladding metal
(nickel, chromium, etc.) is applied to the basic
metal by electroplating, molecular interpenetration
of the surfaces in contact then being obtained by
heat treatment at the appropriate temperature with
subsequent cold rolling. See Harmonized
Commodity Description and Coding System

(IV)(C)(2)(e).

Stainless clad steel plate is
manufactured to American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM)
specifications A263 (400 series stainless
types) and A264 (300 series stainless
types). Nickel and nickel-base alloy clad
steel plate is manufactured to ASTM
specification A265. These specifications
are illustrative but not necessarily allinclusive.
Clad steel plate within the scope of
the order is classifiable under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) 7210.90.10.00.
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Memorandum from
Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul

Administration, entitled, ‘‘Issues and
Decision Memorandum for the
Expedited Third Sunset Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Clad Steel
Plate from Japan,’’ dated May 31, 2012
(Decision Memo), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. The issues
discussed in the Decision Memo include
the likelihood of continuation or
recurrence of dumping and the
magnitude of the dumping margin likely
to prevail if the order were revoked.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in this review and
the corresponding recommendations in
this public memorandum which is on
file electronically via IA ACCESS in the

Final Results of Review
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on clad steel
plate from Japan would be likely to lead
to the continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the following weightedaverage dumping margins: 2
2 The Department assigned this margin of 118.53
percent in the less than fair value investigation on
the basis of total adverse facts available using the
rate contained in the petition. See Notice of Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 30, 2011, the Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on PET Film from Brazil for the period November
1, 2010 through October 31, 2011. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation
in Part, 76 FR 82268 (December 30, 2011). This review covers Terphane,
Inc. and Terphane, Ltda. Petitioners were the only party to request a
review of these companies. On March 29, 2012, petitioners withdrew
their request for an administrative review of Terphane, Inc. and
Terphane, Ltda.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are all gauges of raw, pre-
treated, or primed PET film, whether extruded or co-extruded. 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 more than 0.00001 inches thick.
Also excluded is roller transport cleaning film which has at least one
of its surfaces modified by application of 0.5 micrometers of SBR
latex. Tracing and drafting film is also excluded. PET film is
classifiable under subheading 3920.62.00.90 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). While HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description
of the scope of these orders is dispositive.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations,
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of
the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review, or
withdraws at a later date if the Department exercises its discretion to
extend the time limit for withdrawing the request. Petitioners withdrew
their request within the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested
a review. Therefore, we are rescinding the review with respect to all
companies.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of
this notice.
Notifications
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this
review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during
this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of the
antidumping
[[Page 31834]]
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
