convicted of violating the International

U.S.C 1701, et seq.) (‘‘IEEPA’’). 

Specifically, Chen was convicted of 

exporting goods from the United States 

to Iran without the required licenses 

from the Office of Foreign Assets 

Control. As a result of her conviction, 

the Court sentenced Chen to 13 months 

of confinement, three years of 

supervised release, and a $100 

assessment. 

Pursuant to section 1760(e) of the 

Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1

the export privileges of any person who 

has been convicted of certain offenses, 

including, but not limited to, IEEPA, 

may be denied for a period of up to ten 

(10) years from the date of his/her 

conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e) (Prior

other authorizations issued under 

ECRA, in which the person had an 

interest at the time of the conviction, 

may be revoked. Id.

conviction for violating IEEPA, and has 

provided notice and opportunity for 

Chen to make a written submission to 

BIS, as provided in section 766.25 of the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(‘‘EAR’’ or the ‘‘Regulations’’). 15 CFR 

766.25.2 BIS has received and 

considered a written submission from 

Chen. 

Based upon my review of the record, 

including Chen’s submission, and 

consultations with BIS’s Office of 

Exporter Services, including its 

Director, and the facts available to BIS, 

I have decided to deny Chen’s export 

privileges under the Regulations for a 

period of ten years from the date of 

Chen’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Chen had an interest at the time of her 

conviction.3

Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From 

the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

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 

likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, Commerce is publishing a notice 

of continuation of these AD orders. 

DATES: Applicable December 19, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

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, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the first sunset review of the Orders, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As 

a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

likely to prevail should the Orders be 

revoked.4

On December 19, 2023, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

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). The scope includes bi-component 

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. Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of the Orders is 

dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Orders. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders will be December 19, 

2023.6 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), 

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

five-year reviews of the Orders not later 

than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary 

of the date of the last determination by 

the ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under 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 terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 

and published in accordance with 

section 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).
