administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on polyester
staple fiber (PSF) from Taiwan. The
period of review (POR) is May 1, 2012,

Ya Plastics Corporation (Nan Ya). We
preliminarily find that FENC has not
sold subject merchandise at less than
normal value and that Nan Ya had no
shipments during the POR. Interested
parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Nan Ya reported that it did not sell or

0.00 percent exists for FENC for the
period May 1, 2012, through April 30,
2013.

intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
Consistent with the Assessment Policy
Notice, if we continue to find that Nan
Ya had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States in the
final results of this review, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate any existing
entries of merchandise produced by Nan
Ya and exported by other parties at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
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 FENC’s weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for an importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If FENC’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis in the final results of review,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with
the Final Modification for Reviews, i.e.,
‘‘{w}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
If an importer-specific assessment rate is
zero or de minimis, then the Department
will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003.7 This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by FENC for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of administrative review for all
shipments of PSF from Taiwan 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 FENC will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
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 for
which there is a completed segment of
this proceeding; (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 which there is a
completed segment for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 7.31
percent.8 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

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 FENC's weighted-
average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis in the final results
of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for an
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of such sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If FENC's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties 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\ If an importer-specific assessment rate
is zero or de minimis, then the Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).

The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\7\ This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by FENC 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.

find that Nan Ya had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United
States in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced by Nan Ya and
exported by other parties at the all-others rate if there is no rate
for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
