SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background The CVD order on PET film from India was published on July 1, 2002. See Notice of Countervailing Duty Order: Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From India, 67 FR 44179 (July 1, 2002). On April 2, 2012, the Department initiated the second sunset review of the order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 78 FR 19647 (April 2, 2013). The Department received notices of intent to participate from DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc., and SKC, Inc. (collectively, ‘‘domestic interested parties’’) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The Department received an adequate substantive response to the notice of initiation from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department received no substantive responses from the Government of India (‘‘GOI’’) and respondent interested parties. The regulations provide, at 19 CFR 351.218 (e)(1)(ii)(A), that the Department will normally conclude that respondent interested parties have provided adequate response to a notice of initiation where it receives complete substantive responses from respondent interested parties accounting on average for more than 50 percent, on a volume basis (or a value basis, if appropriate), of the total exports of the subject merchandise to the United States over the five calendar years preceding the year of publication of the notice of initiation. Moreover, in a sunset review of a CVD order, the Department will E:\FR\FM\05AUN1.SGM 05AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 150 / Monday, August 5, 2013 / Notices normally conduct a full review only if it receives adequate responses from domestic and respondent interested parties and a complete substantive response from the foreign government. See 19 CFR 351.218(e)(2) and 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) and (C). Because the Department received no responses from the GOI and respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the CVD order on PET film from India pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). Scope of the Order The products covered by the order are all gauges of raw, pretreated, or primed PET film, whether extruded or coextruded. Excluded are metalized 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 classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under item number 3920.62.00.90. Effective July 1, 2003, the HTSUS subheading 3920.62.00.00 was divided into 3920.62.00.10 (metallized PET film) and 3920.62.00.90 (nonmetallized PET film).

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Film, Sheet, and Strip From 
India: Final Results of the Expedited Second Sunset Review of the 
Countervailing Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: August 5, 2013.
SUMMARY: On April 2, 2013, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
initiated the second sunset review of the countervailing duty order on 
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, sheet, and strip (``PET film'') 
from India. The Department finds that revocation of this countervailing 
duty order (CVD'') would be likely to lead to the continuation or 
recurrence of net countervailable subsidies at the rates in the ``Final 
Results of Review'' section of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sean Carey or Dana Mermelstein, 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) 482-3964 
or 482-1391, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The CVD order on PET film from India was published on July 1, 2002. 
See Notice of Countervailing Duty Order: Polyethylene Terephthalate 
Film, Sheet, and Strip From India, 67 FR 44179 (July 1, 2002). On April 
2, 2012, the Department initiated the second sunset review of the 
order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 78 FR 
19647 (April 2, 2013). The Department received notices of intent to 
participate from DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc., 
and SKC, Inc. (collectively, ``domestic interested parties'') within 
the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The Department 
received an adequate substantive response to the notice of initiation 
from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department received no 
substantive responses from the Government of India (``GOI'') and 
respondent interested parties.
    The regulations provide, at 19 CFR 351.218 (e)(1)(ii)(A), that the 
Department will normally conclude that respondent interested parties 
have provided adequate response to a notice of initiation where it 
receives complete substantive responses from respondent interested 
parties accounting on average for more than 50 percent, on a volume 
basis (or a value basis, if appropriate), of the total exports of the 
subject merchandise to the United States over the five calendar years 
preceding the year of publication of the notice of initiation. 
Moreover, in a sunset review of a CVD order, the Department will

[[Page 47277]]

normally conduct a full review only if it receives adequate responses 
from domestic and respondent interested parties and a complete 
substantive response from the foreign government. See 19 CFR 
351.218(e)(2) and 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) and (C). Because the Department 
received no responses from the GOI and respondent interested parties, 
the Department is conducting an expedited (120-day) sunset review of 
the CVD order on PET film from India pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the order are all gauges of raw, 
pretreated, or primed PET film, whether extruded or coextruded. 
Excluded are metalized 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 classifiable in the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') under item number 
3920.62.00.90. Effective July 1, 2003, the HTSUS subheading 
3920.62.00.00 was divided into 3920.62.00.10 (metallized PET film) and 
3920.62.00.90 (non-metallized PET film). Although the HTSUS numbers are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product 
description remains dispositive.

    All issues raised in this review are addressed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum (``Decision Memorandum'') from Christian Marsh, 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import 
Administration, dated concurrently with this notice, which is hereby 
adopted by this notice. The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum 
include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of a 
countervailable subsidy and the net countervailable subsidy likely to 
prevail if the order was 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 Import Administration's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``IA

Final Results of Review

    Pursuant to sections 752(b)(1) and (3) of the Act, the Department 
determines that revocation of the CVD order on PET film from India 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
countervailable subsidies at the following net countervailable subsidy 
rates:

Garware Polyester Ltd..................  33.42% ad valorem
Polyplex Corporation Ltd...............  22.69% ad valorem
All others.............................  29.34% ad valorem
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice also serves as the only 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. Timely 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective orders is hereby requested. Failure 
to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which 
is subject to sanction.

this notice in accordance with sections 751(c), 752(b), and 777(i)(1) 
of the Act.
