the Preliminary Results in the Federal 

Register.1 For a complete description of 

the events that occurred since 

Commerce issued the Preliminary 

Results, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2 Commerce conducted 

this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

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

Scope of the Order 3

The merchandise covered the Order is 

polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET 

resin) from the Sultanate of Oman 

(Oman). For a full description of the 

scope of the Order, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs that interested parties 

filed in this administrative review are 

listed in the in the appendix to this 

notice and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public

Memorandum can be assessed directly

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our review of the record and 

interested parties’ comments on the 

Preliminary Results, we revised certain 

language in the program that we used to 

calculate OCTAL’s dumping margin to 

accurately reclassify certain sales as 

constructed export price sales. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin exists for the period,

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed in 

these final results of review to parties to 

the proceeding within five days after the 

date of any public announcement of the 

final results or, if there is no public 

announcement of the final results, 

within five days after the date of

351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined the 

antidumping duty assessment rate on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR. Because 

OCTAL’s ad valorem weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero, we will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border

‘‘Domestic Interested Party Notice Of Intent To 

Participate,’’ dated May 10, 2024. 

Protection (CBP) to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

Pursuant to a refinement to 

Commerce’s assessment practice, where 

sales of subject merchandise that was 

produced or exported by an 

individually examined respondent were 

not reported in the U.S. sales data 

submitted by the respondent, but the 

merchandise was entered for 

consumption into the United States 

during the POR, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate any entries of such 

merchandise at the all-others rate (i.e., 

7.62 percent) 4 if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.5

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of this notice of the final 

results of review in the Federal 

Register. If a timely summons is filed at 

the U.S. Court of International Trade, 

the assessment instructions will direct 

CBP not to liquidate relevant entries 

until the time for parties to file a request 

for a statutory injunction has expired 

(i.e., within 90 days of publication). 

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 this notice in the 

Federal Register, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for OCTAL will be zero 

percent; (2) for merchandise exported by 

a company that is not under review and 

the company has a company-specific 

cash deposit rate from a completed 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific cash deposit rate from 

a completed segment of the proceeding 

that is currently applicable to the 

company; (3) if the exporter of the 

subject merchandise was not covered by 

this review or a previously completed 

segment of this proceeding, but the 

producer of the subject merchandise 

was covered, then the cash deposit rate 

will be equal to the company-specific 

cash deposit rate from a completed 

segment of this proceeding that is 

currently applicable to the producer of 

the subject merchandise; and (4) if 

neither the exporter nor the producer of 

the subject merchandise was covered by 

this review or a previously completed 

segment of this proceeding, then the 

cash deposit rate will be 7.62 percent ad 

valorem,6 the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value investigation. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

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 POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under the 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 the terms of an APO is 

a violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of review and this notice in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: December 5, 2024.

and Compliance.
