interrelated nature of the scope and 

circumvention inquiries, Commerce is 

aligning the deadlines for the scope 

inquiries with the circumvention 

inquiries and will conduct the scope 

inquiries first for the reasons explained 

above. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(f)(1), 

interested parties have until 30 days

(l)(3)(iii)(B), interested parties may 

timely request that Commerce adopt an 

alternative date to begin the suspension 

of liquidation and application of cash 

deposits under paragraphs (l)(2)(ii)(A) 

and (l)(3)(iii)(A). A request for 

Commerce to adopt an alternative date 

must be based on a specific argument 

supported by evidence establishing the 

appropriateness of that alternative 

date.13 If parties wish to make such a 

request, that request must be included 

with the set of comments and factual 

information submitted to Commerce 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(f)(1). 

Within 14 days of the filing of such 

comments, any interested party is 

permitted one opportunity to submit 

comments and factual information to 

rebut, clarify, or correct factual 

information submitted by the other 

interested parties (including rebuttal in 

response to any requests made under 19 

CFR 351.225(l)(2)(iii)(B) and 

(l)(3)(iii)(B)). At this time, we are not 

soliciting or accepting comments on the 

self-initiation of the circumvention 

inquiries. Should Commerce determine 

to proceed with the circumvention 

inquiries after finalizing its scope 

determinations, Commerce will notify 

interested parties on the segmentspecific service list of an opportunity to 

comment. 

In accordance with section 19 CFR 

351.225(e), unless the scope inquiries 

are rescinded, in whole or in part, 

Commerce intends to issue its final 

scope rulings within 120 days after the 

date on which the scope inquiries were 

initiated. Furthermore, in accordance 

with section 781(f) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.226(e)(2), unless the 

circumvention inquiries are rescinded, 

in whole or in part, Commerce intends

Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From 

the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: 

Final Results of the Expedited First 

Sunset Reviews of Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of these expedited 

sunset reviews, the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on low melt polyester staple 

fiber (low melt PSF) from the Republic 

of Korea (Korea) and Taiwan would be 

likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Expedited Sunset Reviews’’ section of 

this notice. 

DATES: Applicable October 19, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 16, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD orders on low melt PSF from Korea 

and Taiwan.1 On July 3, 2023, 

Commerce published the Initiation 

Notice of the first sunset reviews of the 

Orders pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).2 In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i) and (ii), Commerce 

received notices of intent to participate 

in these sunset reviews from Huvis 

Indorama Advanced Materials, LLC and 

Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, America 

(collectively, the domestic interested 

parties) within 15-days after the date of 

publication of the Initiation Notice.3

The domestic interested parties claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as producers of a 

domestic like product in the United 

States. 

Commerce received timely, adequate 

substantive responses to the Initiation 

Notice from the domestic interested 

parties within the 30-day period 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).4

Commerce did not receive substantive 

responses from any other interested 

parties, and no party requested a 

hearing. 

On August 22, 2023, Commerce 

notified the U.S. International Trade 

Commission that it did not receive an 

adequate substantive response from 

other interested parties.5 As a result, in 

accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce 

conducted expedited, i.e., 120-day, 

sunset reviews of the Orders. 

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise subject to the 

Orders is synthetic staple fibers, not 

carded or combed, specifically bicomponent polyester fibers having a 

polyester fiber component that melts at 

a lower temperature than the other 

polyester fiber component (low melt 

PSF). For a complete description of the 

scope of the Orders, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.6

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in these sunset 

reviews are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, including the 

likelihood of continuation or recurrence 

of dumping and the magnitude of the 

margins of dumping likely to prevail if 

the Orders were revoked.7 A list of 

topics discussed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is included as 

an appendix to this notice. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed at http:// 

access.trade.gov/public/

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of Expedited Sunset 

Reviews 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce 

determines that revocation of the Orders 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and that the 

magnitude of the dumping margins 

likely to prevail would be at a rate up 

to 16.27 percent for Korea and up to 

49.93 percent for Taiwan. 

Administrative Protective Orders

reminder to interested parties subject to
