Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230;

Background
On June 1, 2012, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published
the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
polyester staple fiber from Taiwan. See
Certain Polyester Staple Fiber From
Taiwan: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 77 FR 32503 (June 1, 2012)
(Preliminary Results). We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. We received no
comments from interested parties.
The Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
polyester staple fiber. Polyester staple
fiber is defined as synthetic staple
fibers, not carded, combed or otherwise
processed for spinning, of polyesters
measuring 3.3 decitex (3 denier,
inclusive) or more in diameter. This
merchandise is cut to lengths varying
from one inch (25 mm) to five inches
(127 mm). The merchandise subject to
the order may be coated, usually with a
silicon or other finish, or not coated.
Polyester staple fiber is generally used
as stuffing in sleeping bags, mattresses,
ski jackets, comforters, cushions,
pillows, and furniture. Merchandise of
less than 3.3 decitex (less than 3 denier)
currently classifiable in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) at subheading 5503.20.00.20 is
specifically excluded from the order.
Also specifically excluded from the
order are polyester staple fibers of 10 to
18 denier that are cut to lengths of 6 to
8 inches (fibers used in the manufacture
of carpeting). In addition, low-melt
polyester staple fiber is excluded from
the order. Low-melt polyester staple
fiber is defined as a bi-component fiber
with an outer sheath that melts at a
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

significantly lower temperature than its
inner core.
The merchandise subject to the order
is currently classifiable in the HTSUS at
subheadings 5503.20.00.45 and
5503.20.00.65. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
subject to the order is dispositive.
Final Results of the Review
We made no changes to our
calculations announced in the
Preliminary Results. As a result of our
review, we determine that a weightedaverage dumping margin of 0.00 percent
exists for Far Eastern New Century
Corporation for the period May 1, 2010,
through April 30, 2011.
Assessment Rates
In accordance with the Final
Modification, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate the reviews entries without
regard to antidumping duties. See
Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping
Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain
Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification).
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
Far Eastern New Century Corporation
for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. For a full
discussion of this clarification, see
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003).
The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions directly to CBP
15 days after publication of these final
results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of
this notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of polyester staple fiber from Taiwan
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication, as provided by section
