Notice of Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Antidumping Duty 

Review: Certain Polyester Staple Fiber 

from the Republic of Korea 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) has determined, 

pursuant to section 751(b) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

that Woongjin Chemical Co. Ltd. 

(‘‘Woongjin’’) is the successor–ininterest to Saehan Industries Inc. 

(‘‘Saehan’’). As a result, Woongjin will 

be accorded the same treatment 

previously accorded to Saehan with 

regard to the antidumping duty order on 

polyester staple fiber (‘‘PSF’’) from the 

Republic of Korea (‘‘Korea’’) as of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 20, 2008.

of Commerce, 14th Street and

DC 20230; telephone (202) 482–3853. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 25, 2000, the Department of 

Commerce issued an antidumping duty 

order on certain PSF from Korea. See 

Notice of Amended Final Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 

Antidumping Duty Order: Certain 

Polyester Staple Fiber from Republic of 

Korea, 65 FR 33807 (May 25, 2000). On 

April 23, 2008, Woongjin requested that 

the Department initiate a changed 

circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on PSF from 

Korea to determine that, for purposes of 

the antidumping law, Woongjin is the 

successor–in-interest to Saehan. On 

June 16, 2008, the Department initiated 

this review and made its preliminary 

finding that Woongjin is the successor–

in-interest to Saehan, and should be 

treated as such for antidumping duty 

cash deposit purposes. See Notice of 

Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

Changed Circumstances Antidumping 

Duty Review: Certain Polyester Staple 

Fiber From the Republic of Korea, 73 FR 

33989 (June 16, 2008). We invited 

parties to comment on the preliminary 

results. We received no comments or 

requests for a hearing. 

Scope of the Review 

For the purposes of this order, the 

product covered is 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 this 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 5503.20.00.25 is specifically 

excluded from this order. Also 

specifically excluded from this order are 

polyester staple fibers 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 this 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 this 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 

under the order is dispositive. 

Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review 

For the reasons stated in the 

preliminary results, and because the 

Department did not receive any 

comments following the preliminary 

results of this review, the Department 

continues to find that Woongjin is the 

successor–in-interest to Saehan for 

antidumping duty cash deposit 

purposes. 

Instructions to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection 

The Department will instruct CBP to 

suspend liquidation of all shipments of 


dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 20, 2008 / Notices 49169 

the subject merchandise produced and 

exported by Woongjin entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice at 2.13 percent (i.e., 

Saehan’s cash deposit rate). This deposit 

rate shall remain in effect until 

publication of the final results of the 

next administrative review in which 

Woongjin participates. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.306. Timely written 

notification of the return/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 sanctionable 

violation. 

This notice in accordance with 

sections 751(b) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 

and section 351.221(c)(3)(i) of the 

Department’s regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 31, 2007, United States 

Steel Corporation (‘‘Petitioner’’) and 

Nucor Corporation requested an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain hot–

rolled carbon steel flat products 

(‘‘Indian Hot–Rolled’’), which were 

produced or exported by Ispat 

Industries Limited (‘‘Ispat’’), JSW Steel 

Limited (‘‘JSW’’), Tata Steel Limited 

(‘‘Tata’’), and Essar Steel Limited 

(‘‘Essar’’). On January 28, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of antidumping duty 

administrative review of Indian Hot–

Rolled for the period December 1, 2006, 

through November 30, 2007. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 73 FR 4829 (January 28, 2008) 

(Initiation Notice). The preliminary 

results are currently due no later than 

September 1, 2008. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review with Respect to Ispat, JSW, and 

Tata 

On February 25, 2008, the Department 

issued a memorandum informing the 

interested parties of the Department’s 

intention to limit the number of 

companies it would examine in this 

review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

‘‘Act’’). The Department indicated that 

its respondent selection would be made 

based on the entry data from U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

for Indian Hot–Rolled during the period 

of review (‘‘POR’’). The Department set 

aside a period of seven calendar days for 

interested parties to raise issues 

regarding the use of CBP data for 

respondent selection in this review. See 

Memorandum to File, Re: ‘‘2006–2007 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review of Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon 

Steel Flat Products from India, ‘‘

Subject: ‘‘Customs and Border 

Protection Data for Selection of 

Respondents for Individual Review,’’

from Cindy Robinson, Senior Financial 

Analyst, through James Terpstra, 

Program Manager, and Melissa Skinner, 

Office Director, Office 3, AD/CVD 

Operations, dated February 25, 2008 

(‘‘Hot–Rolled Memo’’). 

On February 26–27, 2008, Ispat, Tata, 

and JSW each informed the Department 

that they did not have shipments of the 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. On March 3, 

2008, Petitioner submitted its comments 

in response to the Hot–Rolled Memo 

stating that since the Department issued 

the Hot–Rolled Memo, Ispat, JSW, and 

Tata have each certified that they had 

no shipments of subject merchandise to 

the United States during the POR, and 

their assertions are confirmed by the 

CBP data. Therefore, Petitioner asserted 

that the Department should rescind the 

instant administrative review with 

respect to Ispat, JSW, and Tata. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the 

Department may rescind an 

administrative review, ‘‘with respect to 

a particular exporter or producer, if the 

Secretary concludes that, during the 

period covered by the review, there 

were no entries, exports, or sales of the 

subject merchandise, as the case may 

be.’’ We examined CBP entry data for 

the three exporters/manufacturers: Ispat, 

JSW, and Tata, and we are satisfied that 

the record indicates that there were no 

U.S. entries of subject merchandise from 

these three companies during the POR. 

Accordingly, following the 

Department’s practice, we are 

preliminarily rescinding this review 

with respect to Ispat, JSW, and Tata. 

See, e.g., Certain Frozen Fish Fillets 

From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Notice of Preliminary Results and 

Partial Rescission of the Third 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 72 FR 53527, 53530 (September 

19, 2007), unchanged in final, Certain 

Frozen Fish Fillets From the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review and Partial Rescission, 73 FR 

15479, 15480 (March 24, 2008). 

After the preliminary partial 

rescission of Ispat, JSW, and Tata, only 

one respondent, Essar, remains in this 

review. 

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order or finding for which 

a review is requested. Section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further states that 

if it is not practicable to complete the 

review within the time period specified, 

the administering authority may extend 

the 245-day period to issue its 

preliminary results to up to 365 days. 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete this administrative review 

within the time limits mandated by 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because 

we require additional time to analyze 

the sales and cost data submitted by 

Essar and issue supplemental 

questionnaires to the company. 

Therefore, we are extending the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of review by 60 days. The 

preliminary results are now due no later 

than October 31, 2008. The final results 

continue to be due 120 days after 

publication of the preliminary results. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751 of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
