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.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) determines that Flex 

Middle East FZE (Flex), the sole 

producer/exporter subject to this 

administrative review, made sales of 

subject merchandise at less than normal 

value during the period of review (POR), 

November 1, 2018, through October 31, 

2019. 

DATES: Applicable February 2, 2021.

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:

appropriate entries of subject 

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 

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 

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

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).
