SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is rescinding its 

administrative review of polyethylene 

terephthalate resin from Canada for the 

period or review (POR) October 15, 

2015, through April 30, 2017. 

DATES: Effective October 20, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Maliha Khan or Karine Gziryan, AD/ 

CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement 

and Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue

(202) 482–0895 and (202) 482–4081, 

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 1, 2017, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review’’ of the 

antidumping duty order on 

polyethylene terephthalate resin from 

Canada for the above POR.1 On May 31, 

2017, in accordance with section 751(a) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 

Department received a timely request 

from Compagnie Selenis Canada 

(Selenis) to conduct an administrative 

review.2

Pursuant to this request and in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), on July 6, 2017, the 

Department published a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on 

polyethylene terephthalate resin from 

Canada.3 This administrative review 

covers Selenis during the period 

October 15, 2015, through April 30, 

2017. On August 24, 2017, Selenis 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review.4

Rescission of Review 

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

Department will rescind an 

administrative review if the party that 

requested the review withdraws its 

request within 90 days of the 

publication date of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. 

Selenis withdrew its review request 

before the 90-day deadline, and no other 

party requested an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order. 

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this 

administrative review in its entirety. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of polyethylene 

terephthalate resin from Canada. 

Antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers for whom this 

review is being rescinded 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 the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

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 351.305. 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 violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1) and 

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

351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: October 17, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) 

to allow, upon request, the incidental, 

but not intentional taking of small 

numbers of marine mammals by U.S. 

citizens who engage in a specified 

activity (other than commercial fishing) 

within a specified geographic region if 

certain findings are made and either 

regulations are issued or, if the taking is 

limited to harassment, notice of a 

proposed authorization is provided to 

the public for review. 

An authorization for incidental 

takings shall be granted if NMFS finds 

that the taking will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stock(s), will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses (where 

relevant), and if the permissible 

methods of taking and requirements 

pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring 

and reporting of such takings are set 

forth. 

NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible 

impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact 

resulting from the specified activity that 

cannot be reasonably expected to, and is 

not reasonably likely to, adversely affect 

the species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival. 

The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’ 

means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or 

attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill 

any marine mammal. 

Except with respect to certain 

activities not pertinent here, the MMPA 

defines ‘‘harassment’’ as: Any act of 

pursuit, torment, or annoyance which (i) 

has the potential to injure a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has 

the potential to disturb a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild by causing disruption of behavioral 

patterns, including, but not limited to, 

migration, breathing, nursing, breeding, 

feeding, or sheltering (Level B 

harassment). 

The National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Pub. L. 108– 

136) removed the ‘‘small numbers’’ and 

‘‘specified geographical region’’ 

limitations indicated above and 

amended the definition of ‘‘harassment’’ 

as it applies to a ‘‘military readiness 

activity’’ to read as follows (Section 

3(18)(B) of the MMPA): (i) Any act that 

injures or has the significant potential to 

injure a marine mammal or marine 

mammal stock in the wild (Level A 

Harassment); or (ii) Any act that 

disturbs or is likely to disturb a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild by causing disruption of natural 

behavioral patterns, including, but not 

limited to, migration, surfacing, nursing, 

breeding, feeding, or sheltering, to a 

point where such behavioral patterns 

are abandoned or significantly altered 

(Level B Harassment). 

Summary of Request 

On October 12, 2017, NMFS received 

an adequate and complete application 

from the Navy requesting authorization 

for take of marine mammals, by Level A 

and B harassment, incidental to 

training, testing, and routine military 

operations (all categorized as military 

readiness activities) from the use of 

sonar and other transducers, in-water 

detonations, airguns, and pile driving. 

In addition, the Navy is requesting 

authorization of three takes of large 

whales by serious injury or mortality 

resulting from vessel strikes. The 

requested regulations would be valid for 

five years, from 2018 through 2023. 

This will be the third time NMFS has 

promulgated incidental take regulations 

pursuant to the MMPA relating to 

similar military readiness activities in
