SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On October 31, 2013, the Department
of Commerce (the Department) initiated
the antidumping investigations on
monosodium glutamate from Indonesia
and the PRC.1 The notice of initiation
stated that, unless postponed, the
Department would issue its preliminary
determinations for these investigations
no later than 140 days after the date of
the initiation in accordance with section
773(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.205(b)(1). The preliminary
determinations currently are due no
later than March 12, 2014.
Postponement of the Preliminary
Determinations
Sections 733(c)(1)(B)(i) and (ii) of the
Act permit the Department to postpone
the time limits for the preliminary
determination if it concludes that the
parties concerned are cooperating and
determines that the case is
extraordinarily complicated by reason of
the number and complexity of the

transactions to be investigated or
adjustments to be considered, the
novelty of issues presented, or the
number of firms whose activities must
be investigated, and additional time is
necessary to make the preliminary
determination. The Department may
postpone making the preliminary
determination under section
733(c)(1)(B) of the Act until no later
than the 190th day after the date on
which the administering authority
initiates an investigation under section
732(c) of the Act, or an investigation is
initiated under section 732(a) of the Act.
The Department has determined that
the parties involved in these
proceedings are cooperating, and that
the investigations are extraordinarily
complicated. Additional time is
required to analyze the questionnaire
responses and number of companies
affiliated with respondents. Therefore,
in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1), we
are postponing the time period for the
preliminary determinations of these
investigations by 50 days to May 1,
2014. In accordance with section
735(a)(1) of the Act, the deadline for the
final determinations of these
investigations will continue to be 75
days after the date of the preliminary
determinations, unless postponed at a
later date.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States. The Department and the ITC
have also determined that revocation of
the countervailing duty (CVD) order on
raw flexible magnets from the PRC
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of net countervailable
subsidies and material injury to an
industry in the United States. Therefore,
the Department is publishing a notice of
continuation for these AD and CVD
orders.

Background

On August 1, 2013, the Department
initiated 1 and the ITC instituted 2 fiveyear (sunset reviews) of the AD orders
on raw flexible magnets from the PRC
and Taiwan,3 and the CVD order on raw
flexible magnets from the PRC,4
pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). As a result of its reviews, the
Department determined that revocation
of the AD orders would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and that revocation of the CVD order
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of net countervailable
subsidies, and therefore, notified the
ITC of the magnitude of the margins and
the subsidy rates likely to prevail
should the orders be revoked.5

Jkt 232001
On January 15, 2014, pursuant to
sections 751(c)(1) and 752(a) of the Act,
the ITC determined that revocation of
the AD orders on raw flexible magnets
from the PRC and Taiwan and the CVD
order on raw flexible magnets from the
PRC would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.6
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are certain flexible magnets regardless of
shape,7 color, or packaging.8 Subject
flexible magnets are bonded magnets
composed (not necessarily exclusively)
of (i) any one or combination of various
flexible binders (such as polymers or copolymers, or rubber) and (ii) a magnetic
element, which may consist of a ferrite
permanent magnet material (commonly,
strontium or barium ferrite, or a
combination of the two), a metal alloy
(such as NdFeB or Alnico), any
combination of the foregoing with each
other or any other material, or any other
material capable of being permanently
magnetized.
Subject flexible magnets may be in
either magnetized or unmagnetized
(including demagnetized) condition,
and may or may not be fully or partially
laminated or fully or partially bonded
with paper, plastic, or other material, of
any composition and/or color. Subject
flexible magnets may be uncoated or
may be coated with an adhesive or any
other coating or combination of
coatings.
Specifically excluded from the scope
of these orders are printed flexible
magnets, defined as flexible magnets
(including individual magnets) that are
laminated or bonded with paper,
plastic, or other material if such paper,
plastic, or other material bears printed
text and/or images, including but not
limited to business cards, calendars,
poetry, sports event schedules, business
promotions, decorative motifs, and the
like. This exclusion does not apply to
such printed flexible magnets if the
printing concerned consists of only the
following: A trade mark or trade name;
country of origin; border, stripes, or
lines; any printing that is removed in
the course of cutting and/or printing
magnets for retail sale or other

to profiles, which are flexible magnets with a nonrectangular cross-section.

such as digital printer cartridges.

disposition from the flexible magnet;
manufacturing or use instructions (e.g.,
‘‘print this side up,’’ ‘‘this side up,’’
‘‘laminate here’’); printing on adhesive
backing (that is, material to be removed
in order to expose adhesive for use such
as application of laminate) or on any
other covering that is removed from the
flexible magnet prior or subsequent to
final printing and before use; nonpermanent printing (that is, printing in
a medium that facilitates easy removal,
permitting the flexible magnet to be reprinted); printing on the back (magnetic)
side; or any combination of the above.
All products meeting the physical
description of subject merchandise that
are not specifically excluded are within
the scope of these orders. The products
subject to the orders are currently
classifiable principally under
subheadings 8505.19.10 and 8505.19.20
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS
subheadings are provided only for
convenience and customs purposes; the
written description of the scope of the
orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of these AD and CVD orders
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping or a
countervailable subsidy, and of material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to sections 751(c) and
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
AD orders on raw flexible magnets from
the PRC and Taiwan, and the CVD order
on raw flexible magnets from the PRC.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
will continue to collect antidumping
duty cash deposits at the rates in effect
at the time of entry for all imports of
subject merchandise. The effective date
of continuation of these orders will be
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of continuation.
Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act,
the Department intends to initiate the
next sunset reviews of these orders not
later than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
These sunset reviews and this notice
are in accordance with section 751(c) of
the Act and published pursuant to
section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(f)(4).
