Excavate, at the stream’s existing bankfull elevation, a new floodplain that is wide enough to support a
meandering channel. The stream bed elevation remains nearly the same.
Create or allow for the natural development of a meandering channel with alternating riffle and pool bed
forms.
Constraints in the stream corridor will not support a meandering channel.
Excavate relatively narrow, floodplain benches at the stream’s existing bankfull elevation.
Create a relatively straight channel that dissipates energy through a step-pool bed form rather than a
meandering stream.

review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any
written briefs, not later than 120 days
after the date of publication of this
notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, the Department
shall determine and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If Gerdau’s weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Gerdau’s weightedaverage dumping margin continues to be
zero or de minimis in the final results
of review, we will instruct CBP not to
assess duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here the weightedaverage margin of dumping for the
exporter is determined to be zero or de
minimis, no antidumping duties will be
assessed.’’ 6
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Gerdau 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 allothers 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).
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of administrative
review for all shipments of SSB from
Spain entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for Gerdau will be the rate

Steel Bar From Spain, 59 FR 66931
(December 28, 1994). These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Background

On November 1, 2013, 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 the United Arab Emirates
covering the period November 1, 2012,
through October 31, 2013.1 The
Department received a timely request
from Petitioners 2 for an AD
administrative review of two
companies: JBF RAK LLC (JBF) and Flex
Middle East FZE (Flex).3 In addition,
the Department received a timely
request for an AD review of itself from
JBF.4 On December 30, 2013, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of administrative review with
1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
To Request Administrative Review, 78 FR 65612,

ADs occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double ADs.
Rescission in Part
[FR Doc. 2014–09281 Filed 4–22–14; 8:45 am]
respect to Flex and JBF.5 On March 31,
2014, petitioners withdrew their request
for an AD administrative review of
Flex.6
This notice also serves as a final
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.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
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’ March
31, 2014 withdrawal request was
submitted within the 90-day period and
thus is timely.7 Because Petitioners’
withdrawal of their requests for review
is timely and because no other party
requested a review of Flex, we are
rescinding this review with respect to
this company, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1). The request from
petitioners for an administrative review
of JBF has not been withdrawn. As such,
we are not rescinding the review with
respect to JBF.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess ADs on all appropriate entries.
Subject merchandise of Flex will be
assessed ADs at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated ADs 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 assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded, as of the publication
date of this notice, of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of ADs
prior to liquidation of the relevant
entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of the

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If Gerdau's weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate an importer-specific assessment rate on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for the importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Gerdau's weighted-
average dumping margin continues to be zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we will instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of
its entries in accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews,
i.e., ``{w{time} here the weighted-average margin of dumping for the
exporter is determined to be zero or de minimis, no antidumping duties
will be assessed.'' \6\

The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Gerdau 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).
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of SSB from Spain entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Gerdau will
be the rate established in the final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 25.77 percent, the all-others rate
established in the Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Stainless Steel Bar From Spain, 59 FR 66931 (December 28,
1994). These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: April 17, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
