SUMMARY: Based on a request from Advanced Extrusion, Inc., Good Natured Products, IL dba Ex-Tech Inc., and Multi-Plastics Extrusions, Inc. (collectively, the petitioners), the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is initiating a changed circumstances review (CCR) to consider the possible revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet from the Sultanate of Oman (Oman). DATES: Applicable November 18, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brittany Bauer, 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) 482–3860. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On September 10, 2020, Commerce published an AD order on PET sheet from Oman.1 On October 26, 2022, the petitioners (i.e., domestic producers of subject merchandise) requested, through a CCR, the revocation of the Order pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1).2 Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the Order is raw, pretreated, or primed 1 See Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheet from the Republic of Korea and the Sultanate of Oman: Antidumping Duty Orders, 85 FR 55824 (September 10, 2020) (Order). 2 See Petitioners’ Letter, ‘‘Request for a ‘‘No Interest’’ Changed Circumstances Review and Revocation of the Order,’’ dated October 26, 2022.

The scope includes all PET sheet whether made from prime (virgin) inputs or recycled inputs, as well as any blends thereof. The scope includes all PET sheet meeting the above specifications regardless of width, color, surface treatment, coating, lamination, or other surface finish. The merchandise subject to the Order is properly classified under statistical reporting subheading 3920.62.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope is dispositive. Initiation of CCR and Consideration of Revocation of the Order Pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act, Commerce will conduct a CCR upon receipt of a request from an interested party 3 that shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review of the order. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce determines that the information submitted by the petitioners, i.e., their statement of no interest in the continued maintenance of the Order, constitutes a sufficient basis to conduct a CCR of the Order. Section 782(h)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i) provide that Commerce may revoke an order (in whole or in part) if it determines that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product have expressed a lack of interest in the order, in whole or in part. In its administrative practice, Commerce has interpreted ‘‘substantially all’’ to mean producers accounting for at least 85 percent of the total U.S. production of the domestic like product covered by the order.4 The petitioners stated that they were the sole petitioners in the original investigation, but that they did not 3 The petitioners reported, in their request for a CCR, that they are U.S.-based producers of PET sheet. As such, the petitioners are an interested party within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v). 4 See, e.g., Certain Cased Pencils from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation and Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, and Intent to Revoke Order in Part, 77 FR 42276 (July 18, 2012), unchanged in Certain Cased Pencils from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, and Determination to Revoke Order, in Part, 77 FR 53176 (August 31, 2012).
