SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 29, 2013, the CIT granted the Department's motion for 
voluntary remand in Tianjin Wanhua Co., Ltd. v. United States to 
reconsider the separate rate methodology as applied to Wanhua with 
respect to the PET Film Final Results and the results of the CIT's 
judgment in Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co., Ltd. v. United States in which 
the weighted-average dumping margins for the mandatory respondents were 
revised.\3\ Pursuant to the CIT's remand order, the Department re-
examined record evidence and made changes to the separate rate 
applicable to Wanhua. Specifically, the Department followed its 
practice in calculating a separate rate where the individually 
investigated respondents received rates that were zero, de minimis, or 
based entirely on facts available,\4\ and applied the most recently 
determined weighted-average dumping margin that was not zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available. In this case, the 
Department pulled forward Wanhua's separate rate from the 
investigation.\5\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the 
CAFC held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Act, the Department 
must publish a notice of a court decision that is not ``in harmony'' 
with a Department determination and must suspend liquidation of entries 
pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The CIT's August 6, 2013, 
judgment sustaining the PET Film Final Remand constitutes a final 
decision of that court that is not in harmony with the PET Film Final 
Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication 
requirements of Timken. Accordingly, the Department will continue the 
suspension of liquidation of the subject merchandise pending the 
expiration of the period of appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and 
conclusive court decision. The cash deposit rate will remain the 
company-specific rate established for the subsequent and most recently 
completed segment of this proceeding in which the respondent was 
included.

Amended Final Determination

    Because there is now a final court decision with respect to the PET 
Film Final Results, the revised weighted-average dumping margin is as 
follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-
                                                         average dumping

                                                            (percent)
