Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination
Based on our analysis of the
comments received and our findings at
verification, we made certain changes to
the margin calculations for FENC. For a
discussion of these changes, see the
‘‘Margin Calculations’’ section of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
All-Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act
provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other
producers and exporters not
individually investigated shall be equal
to the weighted average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated excluding
rates that are zero, de minimis, or
determined entirely on facts otherwise
available under section 776 of the Act.
Commerce calculated an individual
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin for FENC, the only individually
investigated exporter/producer in this
investigation. Because the only
individually calculated dumping margin
is not zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts otherwise available, for
purposes of determining the ‘‘all-others’’
rate pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of
the Act, we are using the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for FENC, as referenced in
the ‘‘Final Determination’’ section
below.
Final Determination
The final estimated weighted-average
dumping margins are as follows:
Weightedaverage

Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations
performed in this final determination
within five days of the date of
publication of this notice to parties in
this proceeding in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, for this final
determination, we will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
continue to suspend liquidation of all
New Century Corporation (FENC) in the
Antidumping Investigation of Low Melt Polyester
Staple Fiber from Taiwan,’’ dated April 2, 2018.

entries of low melt polyester staple
fiber, as described in Appendix I of this
notice, which are entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after February 2, 2018, the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the affirmative Preliminary
Determination. Further, we will instruct
CBP to require a cash deposit equal to
the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins indicated in the chart
above.4
These suspension of liquidation
instructions will remain in effect until
further notice.
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
International Trade Commission
Notification
Appendix I
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the International
Trade Commission (ITC) of the final
affirmative determination of sales at
LTFV. Because Commerce’s final
determination is affirmative, in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports, or
sales (or the likelihood of sales) for
importation of low melt PSF from
Taiwan no later than 45 days after this
final determination. If the ITC
determines that such injury does not
exist, this proceeding will be terminated
and all cash deposits will be refunded
or canceled. If the ITC determines that
such injury does exist, Commerce will
issue an antidumping duty order
directing CBP to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties on all imports of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the effective date of the suspension
of liquidation, as discussed above in the
‘‘Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation’’ section.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return or
destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order,
is hereby requested. Failure to comply
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination and this notice are
issued and published pursuant to
sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.210(c).
Dated: June 18, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Operations,
performing the non-exclusive functions and
duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance.
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is synthetic staple fibers, not
carded or combed, specifically bi-component
polyester fibers having a polyester fiber
component that melts at a lower temperature
than the other polyester fiber component
(low melt PSF). The scope includes bicomponent polyester staple fibers of any
denier or cut length. The subject
merchandise may be coated, usually with a
finish or dye, or not coated.
Low melt PSF is classifiable under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) subheading 5503.20.0015.
Although the HTSUS subheading is provided
for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
merchandise under the investigation is
dispositive.

I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
The Atlantic Large Whale Take
Reduction Plan (Plan), developed under
the authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act, seeks to enable the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) to reduce injuries and deaths of
large whales, especially right whales,
due to incidental entanglement in
United States commercial fishing gear.
In order to develop fair and effective
management measures, the Take
Reduction Team (Team) requires
comprehensive data on when, where,
and how fixed gear vessels fish. While
subsets of Plan’s vessels report on
aspects of their operations, the available
data form an incomplete picture. NMFS
recognizes that forthcoming changes
under select fishery management plans
(e.g., the American Lobster Fishery
Management Plan) may eventually
introduce gear and activity reporting of
the type requested. Until those
requirements are implemented,
however, operators of commercial
fishing vessels deploying fixed gear
(traps, pots, and gillnets) are requested
to complete this annual supplemental
data collection form, regardless of
fishing location, permit type, or the
provision of similar information to other
Federal and state agencies. This
information will allow NMFS to focus
further risk reduction measures in
certain areas or fisheries, where needed,
to meet the goals of the Plan.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
In response to public law H.R. 353,
Section 406, NWS conducted several
social science engagement activities to
assess the current Watch, Warning, and
Advisory (WWA) system. There was
strong agreement for small adjustments
to the current system and some support
for an entirely new system. To further
explore an alternative system, a public
survey was conducted to test knowledge
of the current system and a series of
‘‘prototypes’’ as an alternative to WWA.
Drawing upon these results, NWS plans
to conduct focus groups with its
forecasters and partners to explore the
opportunities and challenges of
implementing a new alerting system.
II. Method of Collection
Focus groups will be conducted in
person and/or by webinar.
