Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet 

and Strip from Taiwan: Partial 

Rescission of the Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 28, 

2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sean Carey or Milton Koch, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–3964 or (202) 482– 

2584, respectively. 

Background 

On July 2, 2012, the Department of 

Commerce (Department) published a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on 

polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet 

and strip from Taiwan covering the 

period July 1, 2011, through June 30, 

2012.1 The Department received a 

timely request for an AD administrative 

review from Petitioners 2 for two 

companies: Shinkong Materials 

Technology Corporation (Shinkong), 

and Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (Nan 

Ya). On August 30, 2012, the 

Department published a notice of 

initiation of administrative review with 

respect to Nan Ya and Shinkong.3 On 

September 26, 2012, DuPont Teijin 

Films, one of the petitioners who 

requested the review, withdrew its 

request for an administrative review of 

Nan Ya and Shinkong. On November 30, 

2012, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc., 

SKC Inc., and Toray Plastics withdrew 

the remaining request for an 

administrative review of Nan Ya. 

Rescission, In Part 

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

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if a party 

that requested the review withdraws the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. Petitioners’ 

withdrawal requests were timely 

submitted within the 90-day period.4 As 

the withdrawal letters filed by 

Petitioners are timely and no other party 

requested a review of Nan Ya, we are 

rescinding this review with respect to 

Nan Ya, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). Because the review 

request for Shinkong was not 

withdrawn by Mitsubishi Polyester 

Film, Inc., SKC, Inc., and Toray Plastics, 

Inc., the Department will continue to 

conduct the AD administrative review 

of Shinkong. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. Nan Ya shall be 

assessed antidumping duties at rates 

equal to the cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping duties required at the time 

of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to 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, 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. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: December 20, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping

Comments must comply with 15 CFR

Docket Number: 12–058. Applicant: 

Regents of the University of California, 

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 

1 Cyclotron Road, MS 46R0125, 

Berkeley, CA 94720. Instrument: 

Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) 

Magentic Block—HXU Model (Vacodym 

776). Manufacturer: Vacuumschemelze 

GmbH & Co KG, Germany. Intended 

Use: The instrument will be used to 

study matter on the fundamental atomic 

length scale and the associated ultrafast 

time scales of atomic motion and 

electronic transformation. The NdFeB 

magnet blocks must be of high magnetic 

field density to achieve the base spectral 

range. They must also be of high 

uniformity in order to achieve FreeElectron Laser (FEL) saturation. In 

addition to meeting these requirements, 

the unique capabilities of this 

instrument are expanded spectral reach, 

x-ray beams with controllable 

polarization, and ‘‘pump’’ pulses over a 

vastly extended range of photon 

energies to a sample, which are
