Needs and Uses: Over the years, BIS has worked with other Government agencies and the affected public to identify areas where export licensing requirements may be relaxed without jeopardizing U.S. national security or foreign policy. Many of these relaxations have taken the form of licensing exceptions and exclusions. Some of these license exceptions and exclusions have a reporting or recordkeeping requirement to enable the Government to continue to monitor exports of these items. Exporters may choose to utilize the license exception and accept the reporting or recordkeeping burden in lieu of submitting a license application. These exceptions and exclusions have allowed exporters to ship items quickly, without having to wait for license approval. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Frequency: On Occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Export Control Reform Act (ECRA) of 2018 (Title XVII, Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115–232) This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.

DATES: Applicable October 26, 2022. SUMMARY: On June 28, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the preliminary results of the 2020–2021 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and strip (PET Film) from Taiwan. The period of review (POR) is July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. We continue to find that Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (Nan Ya) made no sales of subject merchandise to the United States at less than normal value during the POR. We also continue to find that Shinkong Materials Technology Corporation (SMTC)/Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation (SSFC) had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.

AGENCY: Background On June 28, 2022, Commerce published the preliminary results for this administrative review.1 We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results; however, no interested party submitted comments. Accordingly, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results. 64763 primed PET film, whether extruded or coextruded. Excluded are metalized 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 of more than 0.00001 inches thick. Imports of PET film are currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item number 3920.62.00.90. HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and Customs purposes. The written description of the scope of Order is dispositive. Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that SMTC and its affiliate SSFC had no shipments of PET film during the POR, based on a response of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to Commerce’s no-shipment inquiry, as well as certifications and supporting documentation provided by SMTC/SSFC.3 We received no comments from any interested party on our preliminary finding. As there is no information on the record that calls into question the finding in the Preliminary Results, we continue to find in the final results of this review that SMTC/SSFC had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Final Results of Review As noted above, Commerce received no comments concerning the Preliminary Results. We continue to find that sales of subject merchandise by Nan Ya were not made at less than normal value during the POR. Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice.4 The final weighted-average dumping margin for the period July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, for Nan Ya is as follows: Producer/exporter Nan Ya Plastics Corporation ......

response of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to Commerce's 
no-shipment inquiry, as well as certifications and supporting

any interested party on our preliminary finding. As there is no

Assessment Rates

    Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties 
on all appropriate entries in this review, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

[[Page 64764]]

Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Because we calculated a zero percent 
margin in the final results of this review for Nan Ya, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212 we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 
entries without regard to antidumping duties. In addition, as Commerce 
continues to find that SMTC/SSFC did not have any shipments of subject 
merchandise during the POR, we will instruct CBP to liquidate any 
suspended entries of subject merchandise associated with SMTC/SSFC at 
the all-others rate.
    Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication 
of the final results of this administrative 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

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit 
rate for Nan Ya will be zero, the rate established in the final results 
of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies 
not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if 
the exporter is not a firm covered in this or any previous review or in 
the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation but the 
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for 
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) 
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this 
or any previous review or the LTFV investigation, the cash deposit rate 
will continue to be the all-others rate of 2.40 percent, which is the 
all-others rate established by Commerce in the LTFV investigation.\5\ 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction 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/destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation, which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties
