SUMMARY: As a result of determinations by the Department of Commerce AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:12 Apr 03, 2018 Jkt 244001 (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain polyester staple fiber (PSF) from the People’s Republic of China (China) would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of the antidumping duty order. DATES: Applicable Date: Applicable April 4, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benito Ballesteros, AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–7425. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On June 1, 2007, Commerce published in the Federal Register notice of the antidumping duty order on PSF from China.1 On September 6, 2017, Commerce initiated the second five-year (sunset) review of the antidumping duty order on PSF from China, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 Commerce conducted this sunset review on an expedited basis, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), because it received a complete, timely, and adequate response from a domestic interested party but no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. As a result of its review, Commerce determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping.3 Commerce, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail should the antidumping duty order be revoked. On March 15, 2018, the ITC published notice of its determination, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on PSF from China would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United 1 See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from the People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 30545 (June 1, 2007) (Order). 2 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Advance Notification of Sunset Reviews, 82 FR 42078 (September 6, 2017). 3 See Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 83 FR 8052 (February 23, 2018) (Final Results) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM), dated February 16, 2018. PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14415 States within a reasonably foreseeable time.4 Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the order is synthetic staple fibers, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, of polyesters measuring 3.3 decitex (3 denier, inclusive) or more in diameter. This merchandise is cut to lengths varying from one inch (25 mm) to five inches (127 mm). The subject merchandise may be coated, usually with a silicon or other finish, or not coated. Polyester staple fiber is generally used as stuffing in sleeping bags, mattresses, ski jackets, comforters, cushions, pillows, and furniture. The following products are excluded from the scope of the order: (1) Polyester staple fiber of less than 3.3 decitex (less than 3 denier) currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at 5503.20.0025 and known to the industry as polyester staple fiber for spinning and generally used in woven and knit applications to produce textile and apparel products; (2) polyester staple fiber of 10 to 18 denier that are cut to lengths of 6 to 8 inches and that are generally used in the manufacture of carpeting; and (3) lowmelt polyester staple fiber defined as a bi-component fiber with an outer, nonpolyester sheath that melts at a significantly lower temperature than its inner polyester core (classified at HTSUS 5503.20.0015). Certain polyester staple fiber is classifiable under the HTSUS numbers 5503.20.0045 and 5503.20.0065. Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under the order is dispositive. Continuation of the Order As a result of determinations by Commerce and the ITC that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping duty order on PSF from China. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping duty cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the continuation of the order will be the date of 4 See Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from China: Investigation No. 731–TA–1104 (Second Review), USITC Publication 4767 (March 2018).
