Background
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with
On July 2, 2012, the Department of
Commerce (Department) published a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty (AD) order on
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet
and strip from Taiwan covering the
period July 1, 2011, through June 30,
2012.1 The Department received a
timely request for an AD administrative
review from Petitioners 2 for two
companies: Shinkong Materials
Technology Corporation (Shinkong),
and Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (Nan
Ya). On August 30, 2012, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of administrative review with
respect to Nan Ya and Shinkong.3 On
September 26, 2012, DuPont Teijin
Films, one of the petitioners who
requested the review, withdrew its
request for an administrative review of
Nan Ya and Shinkong. On November 30,
2012, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc.,
SKC Inc., and Toray Plastics withdrew

Rescission, In Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
that requested the review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. Petitioners’
withdrawal requests were timely
submitted within the 90-day period.4 As
the withdrawal letters filed by
Petitioners are timely and no other party
requested a review of Nan Ya, we are
rescinding this review with respect to
Nan Ya, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). Because the review
request for Shinkong was not
withdrawn by Mitsubishi Polyester
Film, Inc., SKC, Inc., and Toray Plastics,
Inc., the Department will continue to
conduct the AD administrative review
of Shinkong.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Nan Ya shall be
assessed antidumping duties 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.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (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.
4 The 90th day fell on November 28, 2012;
however, as explained in the memorandum from
the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration,
the Department has exercised its discretion to toll
deadlines for the duration of the closure of the
Federal Government from October 29, through
October 30, 2012. Thus, all deadlines in this
segment of the proceeding have been extended by
two days. The revised deadline for withdrawing a
review request was therefore, November 30, 2012.
See Memorandum to the Record from Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration,
regarding ‘‘Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As
a Result of the Government Closure During the
Recent Hurricane’’ (October 31, 2012).

Application(s) for Duty-Free Entry of

Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the
Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Materials Importation Act of 1966 (Pub.
L. 89–651, as amended by Pub. L. 106–
36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301), we
invite comments on the question of
whether instruments of equivalent
scientific value, for the purposes for
which the instruments shown below are
intended to be used, are being
manufactured in the United States.
Comments must comply with 15 CFR
301.5(a)(3) and (4) of the regulations and
be postmarked on or before January 17,
2013. Address written comments to
Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room
3720, U.S. Department of Commerce,

may be examined between 8:30 a.m. and
5:00 p.m. at the U.S. Department of
Commerce in Room 3720.
Docket Number: 12–058. Applicant:
Regents of the University of California,
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
1 Cyclotron Road, MS 46R0125,
Berkeley, CA 94720. Instrument:
Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB)
Magentic Block—HXU Model (Vacodym
776). Manufacturer: Vacuumschemelze
GmbH & Co KG, Germany. Intended
Use: The instrument will be used to
study matter on the fundamental atomic
length scale and the associated ultrafast
time scales of atomic motion and
electronic transformation. The NdFeB
magnet blocks must be of high magnetic
field density to achieve the base spectral
range. They must also be of high
uniformity in order to achieve FreeElectron Laser (FEL) saturation. In
addition to meeting these requirements,
the unique capabilities of this
instrument are expanded spectral reach,
x-ray beams with controllable
polarization, and ‘‘pump’’ pulses over a
vastly extended range of photon
energies to a sample, which are

Light Source II project’s ray probe
pulses with controllable inter-pulse
time delay. Justification for Duty-Free
Entry: There are no instruments of the
same general category manufactured in
the United States. Application accepted
by Commissioner of Customs: December

Docket Number: 12–063. Applicant:
University of Pittsburgh, 4200 Fifth
Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15260.
Instrument: Dilution Refrigerator with
9/2/2T Vector Superconducting Magnet.
Manufacturer: Leiden Cryogenics, the
Netherlands. Intended Use: The
instrument will be used, in conjunction
with the instrument imported under
docket 12–065, to develop ways for
preserving quantum information in a
way that is immune to a wide variety of
decoherence mechanisms, to program
fundamental couplings at near-atomic
scales, for the quantum simulation of
‘‘metasuperconductors,’’ and to develop
new mechanisms for the transfer of
quantum information between longlived localized states and delocalized
states. The samples to be studied are a
thin layer of LaAIO3 (LAO), grown on
SrTiO3, which undergoes a metal to
insulator transition when the LAO
thickness is greater than 3 unit cells.
The unique features of this instrument
are the ability to cool samples to T<50
mK using cryogen-free cooling where
possible, an integral cryogen-free 3 axis
vector magnet (>5/1/1 T), an integral
large field magnet (>18T), the ability to
rotate the orientation in a large field,
and scanning probe microscopy
capability at base temperature
(T<50mK). These features enable the
sample to be cooled below the
superconducting transition temperature
(Tc∼200mK), to be rotated in any
orientation relative to the magnetic
fields, allow the investigation of the
large spin-orbit field present in the
samples (Bso∼15T), and on nanometer
size scales gate, modify and probe
nanowire devices and quantum dot
arrays. Justification for Duty-Free Entry:
