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 review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

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), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of return/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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this Order 

are PET film from India. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.5

Rescission of Administrative Review, in 

Part 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation. Commerce received 

timely-filed withdrawal requests from to 

MTZ Polyesters Ltd. (MTZ), Polyplex 

Corporation Ltd. (Polyplex), and Uflex 

Ltd. (Uflex), pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). Because the withdrawal 

requests were timely filed, and no other 

party requested a review of these 

companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding 

this review of the Order with respect to 

MTZ, Polyplex, Uflex. 

Intent To Rescind Administrative 

Review, in Part 

It is Commerce’s practice to rescind 

an administrative review of a CVD 

order, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), 

when there are no reviewable entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR for 

which liquidation is suspended.6

Normally, upon completion of an 

administrative review, the suspended 

entries are liquidated at the CVD 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.7 Therefore, for an 

administrative review of a company to 

be conducted, there must be a 

reviewable, suspended entry that 

Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate 

at the calculated CVD assessment rate 

calculated for the review period.8

According to the CBP import data, 

except for the mandatory respondent 

and its cross-owned companies, the 

companies subject to this review did not 

have reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended. Accordingly, 

in the absence of reviewable, suspended 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR, we intend to rescind this 

administrative review with respect to 

one company, Vacmet India Ltd., in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

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

each of the subsidy programs found to 

be countervailable, we preliminarily 

find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a 

financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ 

that gives rise to a benefit to the 

recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific.9 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

A list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included at the 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. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. 

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected 

Companies Under Review 

There are three companies for which 

a review was requested and not 

rescinded, and which were not selected 

as mandatory respondents. The statute 

and Commerce’s regulations do not 

directly address the establishment of 

rates to be applied to companies not 

selected for individual examination 

where Commerce limits its examination 

in an administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(e)(2) of the Act. However, 

Commerce normally determines the 

rates for non-selected companies in 

reviews in a manner that is consistent 

with section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides the basis for calculating the allothers rate in an investigation. 

Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act 

instructs Commerce, as a general rule, to 

calculate an all-others rate equal to the 

weighted average of the countervailable 

subsidy rates established for exporters 

and/or producers individually 

examined, excluding any rates that are 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 

facts available. In this review, none of 

the rates for respondents were zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available. For the companies for which 

a review was requested that were not 

selected as mandatory company 

respondents, and for which Commerce 

did not receive a timely request for 

withdrawal of review, Commerce based 

the subsidy rate on the rate calculated 

for the sole mandatory respondent. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 

determine the following net 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

POR: 

Manufacturer/exporter 

Subsidy rate 

(percent 

ad valorem) 

SRF Limited 10 ...................... 2.82 

Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable 

to the Following Companies 11

Garware Polyester Ltd .......... 2.82 

Jindal Polyester Ltd .............. 2.82

electronically filed documents must be 

received successfully in their entirety by 

5 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.16

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of our analysis of 

the issues raised by the parties in their 

briefs, no later than 120 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h), unless this 

deadline is extended. 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 

assigned subsidy rates in the amounts 

shown above for the producers/ 

exporters shown above. Upon 

completion of the administrative 

review, consistent with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 

Commerce shall determine, CBP shall 

assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. For the companies for which 

this review is rescinded, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to assess countervailing 

duties on all appropriate entries at a rate 

equal to the cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period January 1, 2019, through 

December 31, 2019, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). For the 

companies remaining in the review, 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this 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 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce 

intends, upon publication of the final 

results, to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts shown for each of 

the respondents listed above on 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review. For all nonreviewed firms, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 

of estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

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

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
