hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice.14 Requests 

should contain: (1) The party’s name, 

address, and 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. 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

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

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). We intend to issue 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this review. 

Where the respondent reported 

reliable entered values, we calculated 

importer- (or customer-) specific ad 

valorem rates by aggregating the 

dumping margins calculated for all U.S. 

sales to each importer (or customer) and 

dividing this amount by the total 

entered value of the sales to each 

importer (or customer).15 Where 

Commerce calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin by dividing the 

total amount of dumping for reviewed 

sales to that party by the total sales 

quantity associated with those 

transactions, Commerce will direct CBP 

to assess importer- (or customer-) 

specific assessment rates based on the 

resulting per-unit rates.16 Where an 

importer- (or customer-) specific ad 

valorem or per-unit rate is greater than 

de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), 

Commerce will instruct CBP to collect 

the appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation.17 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.18

Consistent with Commerce’s 

assessment practice, for entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by Bonuts, PT, or Unicatch, 

for which the producer did not know 

that its merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 

all-others rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.19

For the firms covered by this review, 

we intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For the non-reviewed firms for 

which we are rescinding this 

administrative review, Commerce 

intends to instruct CBP 15 days after 

publication of these preliminary results 

of review to assess antidumping duties 

at rates equal to the rates of cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period May 20, 

2016, through June 30, 2017, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rate for Bonuts, PT, 

and Unicatch will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for other 

manufacturers and exporters covered in 

a prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which that manufacturer 

or exporter participated; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation, but the manufacturer is, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the manufacturer of subject 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 2.24 

percent, the all-others rate in the LTFV 

investigation.20 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notifications 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: August 3, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 3, 2017, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on PET film from India, for the period 

July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017.1 In 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2) and (3), 

in July 2017, we received five review 

requests. DuPont Teijin Films, 

Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc., and 

SKC, Inc. (collectively, the petitioners) 

requested reviews of Ester Industries 

Limited (Ester), Garware Polyester Ltd. 

(Garware), Polyplex Corporation Ltd. 

(Polyplex), SRF, Jindal, and Vacmet 

India Limited (Vacmet). Additionally, 

Polyplex USA LLC requested reviews 

for Ester, Garware, Jindal, MTZ 

Polyesters Ltd. (MTZ), Polyplex, SRF 

Limited, Uflex Ltd. (Uflex), and Vacmet. 

Finally, Chiripal Poly Films Limited 

(Chiripal), SRF, and Jindal each selfrequested to be reviewed in the instant 

review. 

Subsequently, on September 13, 2017, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.222(c)(1)(i), Commerce published a 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on PET Film from India.2

On October 3, 2017, we placed on the 

record U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) import data for 

purposes of respondent selection, and 

invited parties to comment.3 On October 

10, 2017, SRF and Jindal each submitted 

comments requesting selection for 

individual examination.4 Subsequently, 

SRF,5 Jindal Poly Films Ltd. (India) 6

each timely withdrew their requests for 

review. Polyplex USA timely withdrew 

its requests for a review on December 

12, 2016, for all companies.7

On January 23, 2018, Commerce 

issued a memorandum tolling all 

deadlines for this investigation by three 

days due to the shutdown of the federal 

government.8 On March 23, 2018,9 and 

June 1, 2018, we extended the deadline 

for the preliminary results of this review 

to August 3, 2018. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are all gauges of raw, pretreated, or 

primed polyethylene terephthalate film, 

sheet and strip, whether extruded or 

coextruded. 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 of more than 0.00001 

inches thick. Imports of PET film are 

classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

under item number 3920.62.00.90. 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes. The 

written description of the scope of the 

order is dispositive. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Commerce initiated a review of ten 

companies in this segment of the 

proceeding.10 In response to timely filed 

withdrawal requests, we are rescinding 

this administrative review with respect 

to Uflex and MTZ, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). Accordingly, the 

companies subject to the instant review 

are: Ester Industries Ltd.; Garware 

Polyester Ltd.; Jindal; Polyplex 

Corporation Ltd.; SRF; and Vacmet 

India Limited, of which Commerce has 

selected Jindal and SRF as the 

mandatory respondents.11

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A) 

of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, we 

preliminarily determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.12 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

dated concurrently with, and hereby 

adopted by, this notice. A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

Appendix to this notice. 

The Preliminary 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 and in the 

Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the 

main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the internet at http://trade.gov/ 

enforcement/frn/index.html. The signed 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum and 

the electronic versions of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum are 

identical in content. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

For the companies not selected for 

individual review, because the rates 

calculated for Jindal and SRF were 

above de minimis and not based entirely 

on facts available, we applied,
