SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 1, 2017, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the AD order
on pet film from China for the period
November 1, 2016, through October 31,
2017.1 On November 30, 2017, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Mitsubishi
Polyester Film, Inc. and SKC, Inc.
(collectively, the petitioners), requested
a review of the AD order with respect
to the following four companies: (1)
Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co., Ltd.; (2)
Shaoxing Xiangyu Green Packing Co.,
Ltd.; (3) Sichuan Dongfang Insulating
Material Co., Ltd.; and (4) Tianjin
Wanhua Co., Ltd.2 On January 11, 2018,
in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i),
Commerce initiated an administrative
review of the AD order on pet film from
China with respect to these companies.3
Commerce exercised its discretion to
toll all deadlines affected by the closure
of the Federal Government from January
20 through 22, 2018. If the new deadline
falls on a non-business day, in
accordance with Commerce’s practice,
the deadline will become the next
business day.4 On February 28, 2018,
the petitioners timely withdrew their
request for an administrative review of
all companies named in the petitioners’
1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 82 FR 50620
(November 1, 2017).

review, ‘‘Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet,

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 63 / Monday, April 2, 2018 / Notices
Review Request.5 No other party
requested a review.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the publication date of the
notice of initiation of the requested
review. The petitioners withdrew their
request for review within the 90-day
deadline. Because Commerce received
no other requests for review of the
above-referenced companies, and no
other requests were made for a review
of the AD order on pet film from China
with respect to other companies, we are
rescinding the administrative review
covering the period November 1, 2016,
through October 31, 2017, in full, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of pet film from China during the
POR at rates equal to the cash deposit
rate for estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only
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
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO)
of their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and the terms of an APO is
a sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: March 28, 2018.

may be) and of material injury.
