reviews.4 Accordingly, the NME entity
will not be under review unless
Commerce specifically receives a
request for, or self-initiates, a review of
the NME entity.5 In administrative
reviews of antidumping duty orders on
merchandise from NME countries where
a review of the NME entity has not been
initiated, but where an individual
exporter for which a review was
initiated does not qualify for a separate
rate, Commerce will issue a final
decision indicating that the company in
question is part of the NME entity.
However, in that situation, because no
review of the NME entity was
conducted, the NME entity’s entries
were not subject to the review and the
rate for the NME entity is not subject to
change as a result of that review
(although the rate for the individual
exporter may change as a function of the
finding that the exporter is part of the
NME entity). Following initiation of an
antidumping administrative review
when there is no review requested of the
NME entity, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate entries for all exporters
not named in the initiation notice,
including those that were suspended at
the NME entity rate.
All requests must be filed
electronically in Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS) on
Enforcement and Compliance’s ACCESS
website at https://access.trade.gov.6
Further, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request
must be served on the petitioner and
each exporter or producer specified in
the request. Note that Commerce has
temporarily modified certain of its
requirements for serving documents
containing business proprietary
information, until further notice.7
Commerce will publish in the Federal
Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation of
Administrative Review of Antidumping
or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding,
or Suspended Investigation’’ for
requests received by the last day of
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

entries from exporters comprising the entity, and to
the extent possible, include the names of such
exporters in their request.

February 2021. If Commerce does not
receive, by the last day of February
2021, a request for review of entries
covered by an order, finding, or
suspended investigation listed in this
notice and for the period identified
above, Commerce will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping or countervailing
duties on those entries at a rate equal to
the cash deposit of estimated
antidumping or countervailing duties
required on those entries at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,
for consumption and to continue to
collect the cash deposit previously
ordered.
For the first administrative review of
any order, there will be no assessment
of antidumping or countervailing duties
on entries of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption during the relevant
provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period of
the order, if such a gap period is
applicable to the period of review.
This notice is not required by statute
but is published as a service to the
international trading community.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the preliminary
results of this administrative review on
November 10, 2020.1 We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. No parties
submitted comments.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
all gauges of raw, pre-treated, or primed
polyethylene terephthalate film (PET
Film), whether extruded or co-extruded.
Excluded are metallized films and other
finished films that have had at least one
of their surfaces modified by the
application of a performance-enhancing
resinous or inorganic layer more than
0.00001 inches thick. Also excluded is
roller transport cleaning film which has
at least one of its surfaces modified by
application of 0.5 micrometers of SBR
latex. Tracing and drafting film is also
excluded. PET Film is classifiable under
subheading 3920.62.00.90 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). While HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Because we received no comments on
the Preliminary Results, we have made
no changes to the weighted-average
dumping margin determined for Flex,
nor have we prepared an Issues and
Decision Memorandum to accompany
this notice. We, therefore, adopt the
analysis and explanation in our
Preliminary Results for purposes of
these final results.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
determine that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the
period of November 1, 2018, through
October 31, 2019:
Manufacturer/exporter

merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. Consistent
with its recent notice,2 Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
this review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of these final results, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) For
Flex, the cash deposit rate will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping
margin listed above in the section
‘‘Final Results of Review;’’ (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a previously completed
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
final results for the most recent period
in which that producer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or in any
previous segment of this proceeding, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be that established for the
producer of the merchandise in these
final results of review or in the final
results for the most recent period in
which that producer participated; and
(4) if neither the exporter nor the
producer is a firm covered in this
review or in any previously completed
segment of this proceeding, then the
cash deposit rate will be 4.05 percent,
the all-others rate established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.3
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Disclosure
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final
results within five days of the date of
publication of the notice of preliminary
results in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, there are no calculations to
disclose here because, in accordance
with section 776 of the Act, Commerce
applied facts otherwise available with
adverse inferences in determining the
weighted-average dumping margin of
Flex, the only respondent subject to this
review.4

Technology
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice is the only reminder to
parties subject to the administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h).
