SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Following a detailed economic 

analysis, Commerce has treated Russia 

as a market economy country since 

2002.1 On June 30, 2021, Commerce 

received a petition on imports of UAN 

from Russia filed in proper form by CF 

Industries Nitrogen, LLC and its 

subsidiaries, Terra Nitrogen, Limited 

Partnership and Terra International 

(Oklahoma) LLC (collectively, the 

petitioner). In accordance with section 

732(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), the petitioner 

alleged that imports of UAN from Russia 

are being, or are likely to be, sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

within the meaning of section 731 of the 

Act, and that such imports are 

materially injuring and threaten to 

injure an industry in the United States. 

The petition also alleged that Russia 

should be treated as a non-market 

economy country for purposes of this 

investigation. Based upon our 

examination of the petition on UAN 

from Russia, the petition met the 

requirements of section 732 of the Act 

and Commerce subsequently initiated 

an AD investigation on July 20, 2021. 

Opportunity for Public Comment and 

Information 

Commerce invites public comment 

(including arguments, facts, and/or 

other information) on any aspect of 

Russia’s status as a market economy 

with regard to the factors listed in 

section 771(18)(B) of the Act, which are 

as follows: 

(i) The extent to which the currency 

of the foreign country is convertible into 

the currency of other countries; 

(ii) The extent to which wage rates in 

the foreign country are determined by 

free bargaining between labor and 

management; 

(iii) The extent to which joint 

ventures or other investments by firms 

of other foreign countries are permitted 

in the foreign country; 

(iv) The extent of government 

ownership or control of the means of 

production; 

(v) The extent of government control 

over allocation of resources and over 

price and output decisions of 

enterprises; and 

(vi) Such other factors as the 

administering authority considers 

appropriate. 

Any comments and information must 

be received no later than August 30, 

2021. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(b) and 771(18)(C)(ii) of the Act.

Polyethylene Terephthalate Resin 

From Canada, China, India, and Oman: 

Final Results of the Expedited First 

Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping 

Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of these expedited 

sunset reviews, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on polyethylene 

terephthalate (PET) resin from Canada, 

the People’s Republic of China (China), 

India, and the Sultanate of Oman 

(Oman) would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Review’’ section of this 

notice. 

DATES: Applicable July 30, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 6, 2016, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) published AD 

orders on imports of PET resin from 

Canada, China, India, and Oman.1 On 

April 1, 2021, Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of the first sunset 

reviews of the AD Orders, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act).2

In April 2021, Commerce received 

notices of intent to participate within 

the 15-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i) from DAK Americas, 

LLC, Indorama Ventures USA Inc., Nan 

Ya Plastics Corporation America 

(collectively, domestic interested 

parties).3 These domestic interested 

parties claim interested party status 

under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as

manufacturers in the United States of 

the domestic like product. On April 30, 

2021, Commerce received timely and 

adequate substantive responses to the 

notice of initiation from the domestic 

interested parties within the 30-day 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3).4

On May 3, 2021, two respondent 

interested parties, CG Roxane LLC (CG 

Roxane) and Niagara Bottling LLC 

(Niagara) filed substantive responses. 

Commerce determined that the 

respondent interested parties did not 

establish that they met the requirement 

in 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A) and, thus, 

determined that their responses were 

inadequate.5 On May 21, 2021, 

Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that we 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from respondent interested 

parties.6 As a result, pursuant to section 

751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce 

conducted expedited (120-day) sunset 

reviews of the AD Orders. 

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the AD 

Orders is PET resin having an intrinsic 

viscosity of at least 0.70, but not more 

than 0.88, deciliters per gram. The scope 

includes blends of virgin PET resin and 

recycled PET resin containing 50 

percent or more virgin PET resin 

content by weight, provided such 

blends meet the intrinsic viscosity 

requirements above. The scope includes 

all PET resin meeting the above 

specifications regardless of additives 

introduced in the manufacturing 

process. The merchandise subject to the 

AD Orders is properly classified under 

subheading 3907.60.00.30 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Although the 

HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

covered by the AD Orders is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

A complete discussion of all issues 

raised in these sunset reviews, 

including the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of dumping in the event 

of revocation of the AD Orders and the 

magnitude of the margins likely to 

prevail if the AD Orders were to be 

revoked, is provided in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and 

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. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn. 

Final Results of Reviews 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce 

determines that revocation of the AD 

Orders would be likely to lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and the magnitude of the weightedaverage dumping margins likely to 

prevail are up to 13.60 percent for 

Canada, 19.41 percent for India, 126.58 

percent for China, and 7.62 percent for 

Oman. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as the only 

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. 

Timely notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective orders 

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 

We are issuing and publishing the 

final results and this notice in 

accordance with sections 751(c), 752(c), 

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