On October 2, 2007 the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of the changed circumstances review and intent to reinstate Kolon Industries, Inc. (Kolon) in the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and strip (PET film) from the Republic of Korea (Korea). See Polythylene Terephthalate Film Sheet and Strip from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review and Intent to Reinstate Kolon Industries, Inc. in the Antidumping Order, 72 FR 56048 (October 2, 2007) (Preliminary Results). On February 6, 2008 we extended the time frame for completion of this changed circumstances review by 60 days. See Polythylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from the Republic of Korea: Extension of Time Limits for Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, 73 FR 6931 (February 6, 2008). This review covers subject merchandise manufactured and exported by Kolon. The products covered by this order are all gauges of PET film, sheet and strip (see ``Scope of the Review'' section below). The period of review (POR) is July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes in the margin calculation. Therefore, the final results differ from the preliminary results. We determine that Kolon sold subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the POR, and hereby reinstate Kolon in the order. The final weighted-average dumping margin is listed below in the section entitled ``Final Results of Review.''
