Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 22, 2009 / Notices 18349 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order is 

certain polyester staple fiber (PSF). PSF 

is defined as synthetic staple fibers, not 

carded, combed or otherwise processed 

for spinning, of polyesters measuring 

3.3 decitex (3 denier, inclusive) or more 

in diameter. This merchandise is cut to 

lengths varying from one inch (25 mm) 

to five inches (127 mm). The 

merchandise subject to the order may be 

coated, usually with a silicon or other 

finish, or not coated. PSF is generally 

used as stuffing in sleeping bags, 

mattresses, ski jackets, comforters, 

cushions, pillows, and furniture. 

Merchandise of less than 3.3 decitex 

(less than 3 denier) currently classifiable 

in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS) at 

subheading 5503.20.00.20 is specifically 

excluded from the order. Also 

specifically excluded from the order are 

PSF of 10 to 18 denier that are cut to 

lengths of 6 to 8 inches (fibers used in 

the manufacture of carpeting). In 

addition, low-melt PSF is excluded from 

the order. Low-melt PSF is defined as a 

bi-component fiber with an outer sheath 

that melts at a significantly lower 

temperature than its inner core. 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is currently classifiable in the HTSUS at 

subheadings 5503.20.00.45 and 

5503.20.00.65. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

subject to the order is dispositive. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

determine that a weighted-average 

dumping margin of 1.97 percent exists 

for Far Eastern Textiles Ltd. for the 

period May 1, 2007, through April 30, 

2008. 

Assessment Rates 

The Department shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries. Although Far 

Eastern Textiles Ltd. indicated that it 

was not the importer of record for any 

of its sales to the United States during 

the period of review, it reported the 

names of the importers of record for all 

of its U.S. sales. Because Far Eastern 

Textiles Ltd. also reported the entered 

value for all of its U.S. sales, we have 

calculated importer-specific assessment 

rates for the merchandise in question by 

aggregating the dumping margins we 

calculated for all U.S. sales to each 

importer and dividing this amount by 

the total entered value of those sales. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment 

Clarification). This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the period of review produced by 

Far Eastern Textiles Ltd. for which it 

did not know its merchandise was 

destined for the United States. In such 

instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. For a full discussion of 

this clarification, see Assessment 

Clarification. 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions directly to CBP 

15 days after publication of these final 

results of review. 

Cash-Deposit Requirements 

The following antidumping duty 

deposit requirements are effective for all 

shipments of PSF from Taiwan entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of these final results, as provided 

by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The 

cash-deposit rate for Far Eastern 

Textiles Ltd. is 1.97 percent; (2) for 

merchandise exported by manufacturers 

or exporters not covered in this review 

but covered in the original less-thanfair-value investigation or previous 

reviews, the cash-deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, a prior review, or the 

original investigation but the 

manufacturer is, the cash-deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; (4) the cash-deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 7.31 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in Notice of Amended Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Certain Polyester Staple 

Fiber From the Republic of Korea and 

Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain 

Polyester Staple Fiber From the 

Republic of Korea and Taiwan, 65 FR 

33807 (May 25, 2000). These cashdeposit requirements shall remain in 

effect until further notice. 

Notifications 

This notice serves as a final 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 doubled antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to 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 

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 the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results and this notice in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 3, 2008, the Department 

published the notice of initiation of the 

sunset review of the antidumping duty 

order on malleable pipe fittings from the 

PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’). See Initiation of Five-year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 73 FR 65292 

(November 3, 2008). 

As a result of its review, the 

Department determined that revocation 

of the antidumping duty order on 

malleable pipe fittings from the PRC 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and, therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail should the 

order be revoked. See Malleable Cast 

Iron Pipe Fittings from the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results of the 

Expedited Sunset Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 10239 

(March 10, 2009). 

On April 9, 2009, the ITC determined, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on malleable pipe fittings from the 

PRC would likely lead to a continuation 

or recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable future. See 

Malleable Iron Pipe Fittings from China 

(Inv. No. 731–TA–1021 (Review)), 

USITC Publication 4069 (April 2009) 

and 74 FR 16233 (April 9, 2009). 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the 

antidumping duty order are certain 

malleable iron pipe fittings, cast, other 

than grooved fittings, from the PRC. The 

merchandise is classified under item 

numbers 7307.19.90.30, 7307.19.90.60 

and 7307.19.90.80 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule (HTSUS). Excluded 

from the scope of the order are metal 

compression couplings, which are 

imported under HTSUS number 

7307.19.90.80. A metal compression 

coupling consists of a coupling body, 

two gaskets, and two compression nuts. 

These products range in diameter from 

1⁄2 inch to 2 inches and are carried only 

in galvanized finish. Although HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

Department’s written description of the 

scope of this proceeding is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of these determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department 

hereby orders the continuation of the 

antidumping order on malleable pipe 

fittings from the PRC. United States 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect antidumping duty 

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 order will be the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of this notice of continuation. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, 

the Department intends to initiate the 

next five-year review of the order not 

later than 30 days prior to the fifth 

anniversary of the effective date of 

continuation. 

This five-year (sunset) review and this 

notice are in accordance with section 

751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: April 16, 2009.
