New Century Corporation (FENC) in the 

Antidumping Investigation of Low Melt Polyester 

Staple Fiber from Taiwan,’’ dated April 2, 2018. 

4See Modification of Regulations Regarding the 

Practice of Accepting Bonds During the Provisional 

Measures Period in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Investigations, 76 FR 61042 

(October 3, 2011). 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received and our findings at 

verification, we made certain changes to 

the margin calculations for FENC. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

‘‘Margin Calculations’’ section of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not 

individually investigated shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely on facts otherwise 

available under section 776 of the Act. 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for FENC, the only individually 

investigated exporter/producer in this 

investigation. Because the only 

individually calculated dumping margin 

is not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, for 

purposes of determining the ‘‘all-others’’ 

rate pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act, we are using the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for FENC, as referenced in 

the ‘‘Final Determination’’ section 

below. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows: 

Exporter or producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Far eastern new century corporation .... 49.93 

All Others ............................................... 49.93 

Disclosure 

We will disclose the calculations 

performed in this final determination 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, for this final 

determination, we will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

continue to suspend liquidation of all 

entries of low melt polyester staple 

fiber, as described in Appendix I of this 

notice, which are entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after February 2, 2018, the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the affirmative Preliminary 

Determination. Further, we will instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins indicated in the chart 

above.4

These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of the final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. Because Commerce’s final 

determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports, or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of low melt PSF from 

Taiwan no later than 45 days after this 

final determination. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does not 

exist, this proceeding will be terminated 

and all cash deposits will be refunded 

or canceled. If the ITC determines that 

such injury does exist, Commerce will 

issue an antidumping duty order 

directing CBP to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties on all imports of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the effective date of the suspension 

of liquidation, as discussed above in the 

‘‘Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation’’ section. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of 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 sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination and this notice are 

issued and published pursuant to 

sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: June 18, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations, 

performing the non-exclusive functions and 

duties of the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance. 

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation is synthetic staple fibers, not 

carded or combed, specifically bi-component 

polyester fibers having a polyester fiber 

component that melts at a lower temperature 

than the other polyester fiber component 

(low melt PSF). The scope includes bicomponent polyester staple fibers of any 

denier or cut length. The subject 

merchandise may be coated, usually with a 

finish or dye, or not coated. 

Low melt PSF is classifiable under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS) subheading 5503.20.0015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for a new information 

collection. 

The Atlantic Large Whale Take 

Reduction Plan (Plan), developed under 

the authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act, seeks to enable the 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) to reduce injuries and deaths of 

large whales, especially right whales, 

due to incidental entanglement in 

United States commercial fishing gear. 

In order to develop fair and effective 

management measures, the Take 

Reduction Team (Team) requires 

comprehensive data on when, where, 

and how fixed gear vessels fish. While 

subsets of Plan’s vessels report on 

aspects of their operations, the available 

data form an incomplete picture. NMFS 

recognizes that forthcoming changes 

under select fishery management plans 

(e.g., the American Lobster Fishery 

Management Plan) may eventually 

introduce gear and activity reporting of 

the type requested. Until those 

requirements are implemented, 

however, operators of commercial 

fishing vessels deploying fixed gear 

(traps, pots, and gillnets) are requested 

to complete this annual supplemental 

data collection form, regardless of 

fishing location, permit type, or the 

provision of similar information to other 

Federal and state agencies. This 

information will allow NMFS to focus 

further risk reduction measures in 

certain areas or fisheries, where needed, 

to meet the goals of the Plan. 

II. Method of Collection 

This information will initially be 

collected using a paper form, which 

respondents will be asked to return by 

mail. Respondents can also scan and 

email, or fax their submission. An 

electronic form will be developed for 

future iterations. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(new information collection). 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,604 respondents. 

Estimated Time per Response: 45 

minutes per year. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 3,453 hours per year. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0.60 per person per year, or 

$2,762.40 per year in reporting costs. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for a new information 

collection. 

In response to public law H.R. 353, 

Section 406, NWS conducted several 

social science engagement activities to 

assess the current Watch, Warning, and 

Advisory (WWA) system. There was 

strong agreement for small adjustments 

to the current system and some support 

for an entirely new system. To further 

explore an alternative system, a public 

survey was conducted to test knowledge 

of the current system and a series of 

‘‘prototypes’’ as an alternative to WWA. 

Drawing upon these results, NWS plans 

to conduct focus groups with its 

forecasters and partners to explore the 

opportunities and challenges of 

implementing a new alerting system. 

II. Method of Collection 

Focus groups will be conducted in 

person and/or by webinar.
