Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Based on information Terphane
submitted after the initiation of this
administrative review and information
collected from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), the Department has
preliminarily determined that the record
evidence indicates that Terphane
currently had no reviewable entries
during the POR. In addition, the
Department finds that it is not
appropriate to rescind the review with
respect to Terphane but, rather, to
complete the review and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of this review, as is
our practice.5

Assessment Rates
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 companies
included in these final results of review
for which these companies did not
know that the merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate un-reviewed 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 assessment instructions directly to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Disclosure and Public Comment
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results
and submit written arguments or case
briefs within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice, unless
otherwise notified by the Department.6
Parties are reminded that written
comments or case briefs are not the
place for submitting new factual
material. Rebuttal briefs, limited to
issues raised in the case briefs, will be
due five days later.7 Parties who submit
case or rebuttal briefs are requested to
submit with each argument: (1) A
statement of the issue; and (2) a brief
summary of the argument. Parties are
requested to provide a summary of the
arguments not to exceed five pages and
a table of statutes, regulations, and cases
cited.
Any interested party who wishes to
request a hearing must submit a written

the deadline for the final results is
extended.9
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to the 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.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)
and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(f).

order is dispositive.
Partial Rescission
On December 1, 2014, Green Packing
requested administrative review of
subject merchandise exported by itself,
and Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc. and
SKC, Inc. (collectively ‘‘Petitioners’’)
requested an administrative review of
subject merchandise exported by
Dongfang, Fuwei Films, Green Packing,
and Wanhua. Subsequently, on March
23, 2015, Petitioners timely withdrew
their request for an administrative
review of each company. No other
parties requested a review with respect
to Dongfang, Fuwei Films, and Wanhua.
Therefore, the Department, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), is rescinding this
administrative review with respect to
each company. However, as Green
Packing requested administrative review
of itself and did not withdraw its
request, the Department is continuing
its review of Green Packing’s exports of
subject merchandise during the POR.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
This memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s

Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Packing failed to establish that it is
entitled to a separate rate for the POR,
we are treating Green Packing as part of
the PRC-wide entity.4 The rate
previously established for the PRC-wide
entity in this proceeding is 76.72

Department intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of subject merchandise
from the PRC-wide entity, including
entries of subject merchandise from
Green Packing, at 76.72 percent (the
PRC-wide rate).12
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments

withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For the exporters listed above
which have a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the final results of this review
(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
then a cash deposit rate of zero will be
established for that company); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate for
the PRC-wide entity, 76.72 percent; and
(4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTAA), Public Law
104–113, directs federal agencies with
respect to their use of and participation
in the development of voluntary
consensus standards. The NTTAA’s
objective is for federal agencies to adopt
voluntary consensus standards,
wherever possible, in lieu of creating
proprietary, non-consensus standards.
As the implementation of commercial
cryptography, which is used to protect
U.S. non-national security information
and information systems, is now
commoditized and built, marketed and
used globally, NIST is seeking
comments on using the ISO/IEC
19790:2014 Security Requirements for
Cryptographic Modules standard as the
U.S. Federal Standard for cryptographic
modules (https://www.iso.org/iso/
catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=59142).
The standards for cryptographic
module testing, conformance, and
validation activities are currently
specified by Federal Information
Processing Standard (FIPS) 140–2. This
standard is used to ensure encryption
technologies used by the U.S.
Government meet minimally acceptable
requirements and can demonstrate an
acceptable level of conformance to the
Standard that is commensurate with the
risk the U.S. Government finds
acceptable when using encryption
technologies to protect U.S. Government
information and information systems.
NIST is interested in the commercial
and market effects to U.S. industry and
the potential changes to visibility in
cryptographic modules conformance to
standards, as well as the ISO/IEC
19790:2014 standards ability to meet
requirements for the U.S. Government.
NIST is also interested in comments on
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
48295
the possible uses of ISO/IEC 19790:2014
that range from use of only selected
sections, continuing with a FIPS
requirement that cites a baseline version
of the ISO/IEC 19790:2014, and/or full
use of the ISO/IEC standard. NIST is
also interested in feedback on the
impacts of a potential U.S. Government
requirement for use and conformance
using a standard with a fee-based model
where organizations must purchase
copies of the ISO/IEC 19790:2014.
NIST is particularly interested in
comments from commercial
implementers of cryptography, testing
and conformance organizations, users of
cryptography, and organizations who
currently require or cite FIPS 140–2 as
a normative reference, on the benefits
versus risks in using ISO/IEC
19790:2014 rather than FIPS 140–2 from
perspectives of technology,
implementations, risks and impacts to
commercial IT markets. NIST requests
comments on the following questions
regarding the use of ISO/IEC
19790:2014, but comments on other
cryptographic test and conformance
issues will also be considered.
(1) Have your customers or users
asked for either ISO/IEC 19790:2014 or
FIPS 140–2 validations in cryptographic
products?
(2) Have the markets you serve asked
for either validation and have you
noticed any changes in what the
markets you serve are asking for?
(3) Do you think the ISO/IEC
19790:2014 standard specifies tests and
provides evidence of conformance for
cryptographic algorithms and modules
better, equally or less as compared to
FIPS 140–2 and in what areas?
(4) Is there a difference in risk that
you perceive would be mitigated or
accepted in use of one standard versus
the other?
(5) Are the requirements in ISO/IEC
19790:2014 specific enough for your
organization to develop a cryptographic
module that can demonstrate
conformance to this standard?
(6) Would the U.S. Government
citation of an ISO standard that has a fee
for access to the standard inhibit your
use or implementation of this standard?
(7) Do either FIPS 140–2 or ISO/IEC
19790:2014 have a gap area that is not
required for implementation, test or
validation that presents an unacceptable
risk to users of cryptographic modules?
The responses to this request for
information will be used to plan
possible changes to the FIPS or in a
decision to use all or part of ISO/IEC
19790:2014 for testing, conformance and
validation of cryptographic algorithms
and modules. In any decision made, it
is the intention of NIST to continue

terephthalate film, sheet, and strip (``PET film'') from the People's
Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period of review (``POR'') November
1, 2013, through October 31, 2014. This review covers four PRC
companies.\1\ The Department is rescinding the review with respect to
Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (``Fuwei Films''), Sichuan Dongfang
Insulating Material Co., Ltd. (``Dongfang''), and Tianjin Wanhua Co.,
Ltd. (``Wanhua''). Further, the Department preliminarily finds that
Shaoxing Xiangyu Green Packing Co., Ltd. (``Green Packing'') is part of
the PRC-wide entity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are all gauges of raw, pre-
treated, or primed PET film, whether extruded or co-extruded.\2\ PET
film is classifiable under subheading 3920.62.00.90 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our

Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, dated
concurrently with this notice (``Preliminary Decision Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission
On December 1, 2014, Green Packing requested administrative review
of subject merchandise exported by itself, and Mitsubishi Polyester
Film, Inc. and SKC, Inc. (collectively ``Petitioners'') requested an
administrative review of subject merchandise exported by Dongfang,
Fuwei Films, Green Packing, and Wanhua. Subsequently, on March 23,
2015, Petitioners timely withdrew their request for an administrative
review of each company. No other parties requested a review with
respect to Dongfang, Fuwei Films, and Wanhua. Therefore, the
Department, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), is rescinding this
administrative review with respect to each company. However, as Green
Packing requested administrative review of itself and did not withdraw
its request, the Department is continuing its review of Green Packing's
exports of subject merchandise during the POR.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). For a
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. This memorandum is a public document
and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (``ACCESS''). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov/login.aspx and in the Central Records Unit, room
B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the Internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn//. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the
electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department's change in policy regarding conditional review of
the PRC-wide entity applies to this administrative review.\3\ Because
Green Packing failed to establish that it is entitled to a separate
rate for the POR, we are treating Green Packing as part of the PRC-wide
entity.\4\ The rate previously established for the PRC-wide entity in
this proceeding is 76.72 percent.\5\

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
Under this policy, the PRC-wide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or the Department self-
initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a
review of the PRC-wide entity in this review, the entity's rate is
not subject to change.

Act: (1) For the exporters listed above which have a separate rate, the

deposit rate of zero will be established for that company); (2) for

recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) for all PRC

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
[[Page 48295]]
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 Department'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 and 19 CFR 351.213 and
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 30, 2015.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
