Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is dioctyl terephthalate
(‘‘DOTP’’), regardless of form. DOTP that has
been blended with other products is included
within this scope when such blends include
constituent parts that have not been
chemically reacted with each other to
produce a different product. For such blends,
only the DOTP component of the mixture is
covered by the scope of this investigation.
DOTP that is otherwise subject to this
investigation is not excluded when
commingled with DOTP from sources not
subject to this investigation. Commingled
refers to the mixing of subject and nonsubject DOTP. Only the subject component of
such commingled products is covered by the
scope of the investigation.
DOTP has the general chemical
formulation C6H4(C8H17COO)2 and a
chemical name of ‘‘bis (2-ethylhexyl)
terephthalate’’ and has a Chemical Abstract
Service (‘‘CAS’’) registry number of 6422–86–
2. Regardless of the label, all DOTP is
covered by this investigation.
Subject merchandise is currently classified
under subheading 2917.39.2000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Subject merchandise may
also enter under subheadings 2917.39.7000
or 3812.20.1000 of the HTSUS. While the
CAS registry number and HTSUS
classification are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this investigation
is dispositive.

weighted-average dumping margin
continues to be zero or de minimis in
the final results of review, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.9
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after

review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for SIW will be
the rate established in the final results
of this administrative review, except if
the rate is de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1) (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent), in which case
the cash deposit rate will be zero; (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 recentlycompleted segment; (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 recently-completed period for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 12.91 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation.10 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further

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
