Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months. In the underlying
investigation, the Department published
the Preliminary Determination on June
24, 2016. Therefore, the four-month
period beginning on the date of the
publication of the Preliminary
Determination ended on October 22,
2016. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the
Act states that definitive duties are to
begin on the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
instructed CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of geogrids from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption after October 22, 2016,
the date the provisional measures
expired, until and through the day
preceding the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination in the
Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation will resume on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC’s negative
critical circumstances determination on
imports of geogrids from the PRC, we
will instruct CBP to lift suspension and
to refund any cash deposits made to
secure the payment of estimated
countervailing duties with respect to
geogrids from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after March 26, 2016
(i.e., 90 days prior to the date of the
publication of the CVD Preliminary
Determination), but before June 24, 2016
(i.e., the date of publication of the CVD
Preliminary Determination).
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice constitutes the
countervailing duty order with respect
to geogrids from the PRC pursuant to

processing that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of the
investigations if performed in the country of
manufacture of the biaxial integral geogrid.
The products subject to the scope are
currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under
the following subheading: 3926.90.9995.
Subject merchandise may also enter under
subheadings 3920.20.0050 and 3925.90.0000.
The HTSUS subheadings set forth above are
provided for convenience and U.S. Customs
purposes only. The written description of the
scope is dispositive.
Appendix
[FR Doc. 2017–04132 Filed 3–2–17; 8:45 am]
The products covered by the scope are
certain biaxial integral geogrid products.
Biaxial integral geogrid products are a
polymer grid or mesh material (whether or
not finished, slit, cut-to-length, attached to
woven or non-woven fabric or sheet material,
or packaged) in which four-sided openings in
the form of squares, rectangles, rhomboids,
diamonds, or other four-sided figures
predominate. The products covered have
integral strands that have been stretched to
induce molecular orientation into the
material (as evidenced by the strands being
thinner in width toward the middle between
the junctions than at the junctions
themselves) constituting the sides of the
openings and integral junctions where the
strands intersect. The scope includes
products in which four-sided figures
predominate whether or not they also contain
additional strands intersecting the four-sided
figures and whether or not the inside corners
of the four-sided figures are rounded off or
not sharp angles. As used herein, the term
‘‘integral’’ refers to strands and junctions that
are homogenous with each other. The
products covered have a tensile strength of
greater than 5 kilonewtons per meter (kN/m)
according to American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) Standard Test Method
D6637/D6637M in any direction and average
overall flexural stiffness of more than
100,000 milligram-centimeter according to
the ASTM D7748/D7748M Standard Test
Method for Flexural Rigidity of Geogrids,
Geotextiles and Related Products, or other
equivalent test method standards.
Subject merchandise includes material
matching the above description that has been
finished, packaged, or otherwise further
processed in a third country, including by
trimming, slitting, coating, cutting, punching
holes, stretching, attaching to woven or nonwoven fabric or sheet material, or any other
finishing, packaging, or other further

Background
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.210(c), on January 11, 2017, the
Department published its affirmative
final determination in the less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation of geogrids
from the PRC.1 On February 24, 2017,
the ITC notified the Department of its
affirmative determination that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by
reason of the LTFV imports of geogrids
from the PRC, and of its determination
that critical circumstances do not exist
with respect to imports of subject
merchandise from the PRC that are

subject to the Department’s affirmative
critical circumstances finding.2
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order covers
geogrids from the PRC. For a complete
description of the scope, see Appendix.
Antidumping Duty Order
On February 24, 2017, in accordance
with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination in this investigation, in
which it found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of geogrids from the
PRC, and that critical circumstances do
not exist with respect to imports of
subject merchandise that are subject to
the Department’s affirmative critical
circumstances finding.3 Therefore, in
accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the
Act, the Department is issuing this
antidumping duty order. Because the
ITC determined that imports of geogrids
from the PRC are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of
such merchandise from the PRC,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
geogrids from the PRC. Antidumping
duties will be assessed on unliquidated
entries of geogrids entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after August 22,
2016, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination,4 but will
not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination as
further described below.

Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and

Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct
CBP to reinstitute the suspension of
liquidation of geogrids from the PRC.
We will also instruct CBP to require
cash deposits equal to the estimated
amount by which the normal value
exceeds the U.S. price as indicated in
the chart below, adjusted where
appropriate for export subsidies and
estimated domestic subsidy passthrough.5 These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
determinations, CBP will require, at the
same time as importers would normally
deposit estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins, adjusted where appropriate for
export subsidies and estimated domestic
subsidy pass-through.6 The ‘‘PRC-wide’’

merchandise.

Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of an exporter
that accounted for a significant
proportion of exports of geogrids from
the PRC, we extended the four-month
period to no more than six-months.8 In
the underlying investigation, the
Department published the Preliminary
Determination on August 22, 2016.
Therefore, the six-month period
beginning on the date of the publication
of the Preliminary Determination ended

Letters of Appearance and Administrative Protective Orders
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the Department will maintain and
make available a public service list for these proceedings. Parties
wishing to participate in any of these five-year reviews must file
letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d). To facilitate
the timely preparation of the public service list, it is requested that
those seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding submit
an entry of appearance within 10 days of the publication of the Notice
of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge
interested parties who want access to proprietary information under
administrative protective order (``APO'') to file an APO application
immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this
notice of initiation. The Department's regulations on submission of
proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business
proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304-306.
Information Required From Interested Parties
Domestic interested parties, as defined in section 771(9)(C), (D),
(E), (F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b), wishing to
participate in a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days
after the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of
initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The required
contents of the notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with the Department's regulations, if
we do not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one
domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, the Department will
automatically revoke the order without further review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate
from a domestic interested party, the Department's regulations provide
that all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties.
Also, note that the Department's information requirements are distinct
from the Commission's information requirements. Consult the
Department's regulations for information regarding the Department's
conduct of Sunset Reviews. Consult the Department's regulations at 19
CFR part 351 for definitions of terms and for other general information
