antidumping duty administrative 

review.10 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. In this administrative 

review, no party requested a review of 

the China-wide entity. Moreover, we 

have not self-initiated a review of the 

China-wide entity. Because no review of 

the China-wide entity is being 

conducted, the China-wide entity’s 

entries are not subject to the review, and 

the rate applicable to the NME entity is 

not subject to change as a result of this 

review. The China-wide entity rate is 

167.02 percent.11

Public Comment 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results and 

may submit case briefs and/or written 

comments, filed electronically via 

Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping Duty and Countervailing 

Duty Centralized Electronic Service 

System (ACCESS), within 30 days after 

the date of publication of these 

preliminary results of review.12

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, must be filed within seven 

days after the time limit for filing case 

briefs.13 Parties who submit case or 

rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

requested to submit with each argument 

a statement of the issue, a brief 

summary of the argument, and a table of 

authorities.14 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain portions of 

its requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.15

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing, or to participate if one is 

requested, must submit a written 

request to Commerce within 30 days of 

the date of publication of this notice.16

Requests should contain: (1) The party’s 

name, address, the telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants; and (3) 

a list of issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case and 

rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing 

is made, parties will be notified of the 

time and date for the hearing to be 

held.17 Commerce intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of all issues raised in the 

case briefs, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, unless 

extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and CBP will shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries of 

subject merchandise covered by this 

review.18 We intend to instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries containing subject 

merchandise exported by the company 

under review that we determine in the 

final results to be part of the China-wide 

entity at the China-wide entity rate of 

167.02 percent. 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 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by sections 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

companies that have a separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be that established 

in the final results of this review 

(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, 

then zero cash deposit will be required); 

(2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed Chinese or non-Chinese 

exporters not listed above that received 

a separate rate in a prior segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (3) for all Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 

167.02 percent); and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter that supplied that non-Chinese 

exporter. These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 315.402(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 Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 

351.221(b)(4).

when Commerce is closed. 

351.213, that the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) conduct an 

administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by Commerce 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based on 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the 

period of review. We intend to release 

the CBP data under Administrative 

Protective Order (APO) to all parties 

having an APO within five days of 

publication of the initiation notice and 

to make our decision regarding 

respondent selection within 21 days of 

publication of the initiation Federal 

Register notice. Therefore, we 

encourage all parties interested in 

commenting on respondent selection to 

submit their APO applications on the 

date of publication of the initiation 

notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. 

Commerce invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within five days of placement of the 

CBP data on the record of the review. 

In the event Commerce decides it is 

necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, Commerce finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will 

not conduct collapsing analyses at the 

respondent selection phase of a review 

and will not collapse companies at the 

respondent selection phase unless there 

has been a determination to collapse 

certain companies in a previous 

segment of this antidumping proceeding 

(i.e., investigation, administrative 

review, new shipper review or changed 

circumstances review). For any 

company subject to a review, if 

Commerce determined, or continued to 

treat, that company as collapsed with 

others, Commerce will assume that such 

companies continue to operate in the 

same manner and will collapse them for 

respondent selection purposes. 

Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse 

companies for purposes of respondent 

selection. Parties are requested to (a) 

identify which companies subject to 

review previously were collapsed, and 

(b) provide a citation to the proceeding 

in which they were collapsed. Further, 

if companies are requested to complete 

a Quantity and Value Questionnaire for 

purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of a proceeding 

where Commerce considered collapsing 

that entity, complete quantity and value 

data for that collapsed entity must be 

submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a 

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that Commerce may 

extend this time if it is reasonable to do 

so. Determinations by Commerce to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

Deadline for Particular Market 

Situation Allegation 

Section 504 of the Trade Preferences 

Extension Act of 2015 amended the Act 

by adding the concept of particular 

market situation (PMS) for purposes of 

constructed value under section 773(e) 

of the Act.1 Section 773(e) of the Act 

states that ‘‘if a particular market 

situation exists such that the cost of 

materials and fabrication or other 

processing of any kind does not 

accurately reflect the cost of production 

in the ordinary course of trade, the 

administering authority may use 

another calculation methodology under 

this subtitle or any other calculation 

methodology.’’ When an interested 

party submits a PMS allegation pursuant 

to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce 

will respond to such a submission 

consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v). 

If Commerce finds that a PMS exists 

under section 773(e) of the Act, then it 

will modify its dumping calculations 

appropriately. 

Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor 

19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v) set a deadline 

for the submission of PMS allegations 

and supporting factual information. 

However, in order to administer section 

773(e) of the Act, Commerce must 

receive PMS allegations and supporting 

factual information with enough time to 

consider the submission. Thus, should 

an interested party wish to submit a 

PMS allegation and supporting new 

factual information pursuant to section 

773(e) of the Act, it must do so no later 

than 20 days after submission of initial 

Section D responses. 

Opportunity To Request a Review: Not 

later than the last day of February 

2021,2 interested parties may request 

administrative review of the following 

orders, findings, or suspended 

investigations, with anniversary dates in 

February for the following periods:

Suspension Agreements 

None.

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), an interested party as 

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may 

request in writing that the Secretary 

conduct an administrative review. For 

both antidumping and countervailing 

duty reviews, the interested party must 

specify the individual producers or 

exporters covered by an antidumping 

finding or an antidumping or 

countervailing duty order or suspension 

agreement for which it is requesting a 

review. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters. If the interested party intends 

for the Secretary to review sales of 

merchandise by an exporter (or a 

producer if that producer also exports 

merchandise from other suppliers) 

which was produced in more than one 

country of origin and each country of 

origin is subject to a separate order, then 

the interested party must state 

specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 

which exporter(s) the request is 

intended to cover. 

Note that, for any party Commerce 

was unable to locate in prior segments, 

Commerce will not accept a request for 

an administrative review of that party 

absent new information as to the party’s 

location. Moreover, if the interested 

party who files a request for review is 

unable to locate the producer or 

exporter for which it requested the 

review, the interested party must 

provide an explanation of the attempts 

it made to locate the producer or 

exporter at the same time it files its 

request for review, in order for the 

Secretary to determine if the interested 

party’s attempts were reasonable, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011), Commerce clarified 

its practice with respect to the 

collection of final antidumping duties 

on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders.3

Commerce no longer considers the 

non-market economy (NME) entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to an 

antidumping duty administrative

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 

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:
