SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Petitions 

On September 28, 2017, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) received antidumping duty 

(AD) Petitions concerning imports of 

polytetrafluoroethylene resin (PTFE 

resin) from India and the PRC, filed in 

proper form on behalf of The Chemours 

Company FC LLC (the petitioner).1 The 

AD Petitions were accompanied by a 

countervailing duty (CVD) Petition 

concerning imports of PTFE resin from 

India. The petitioner is a domestic 

producer of PTFE resin.2

On October 2, 2017, and October 3, 

2017, the Department requested 

supplemental information pertaining to 

certain areas of the Petitions.3 The 

petitioner filed responses to these 

requests on October 4, 2017, and 

October 5, 2017.4 In addition, the 

petitioner filed revised scope language 

on October 13, 2017.5

In accordance with section 732(b) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), the petitioner alleges that imports 

of PTFE resin from India and the PRC 

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, or threatening 

material injury to, the domestic industry 

producing PTFE resin in the United 

States. Also, consistent with section 

732(b)(1) of the Act, the Petitions are 

accompanied by information reasonably 

available to the petitioner supporting its 

allegations. 

The Department finds that the 

petitioner is an interested party as 

defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act 

and that the petitioner filed these 

Petitions on behalf of the domestic 

industry and demonstrated sufficient 

industry support with respect to the 

initiation of the AD investigations that 

the petitioner is requesting.6

Periods of Investigation 

Because the Petitions were filed on 

September 28, 2017, the period of 

investigation (POI) for India is July 1, 

2016, through June 30, 2017. Because 

the PRC is a non-market economy 

(NME) country, the POI for the PRC is 

January 1, 2017, through June 30, 2017. 

Scope of the Investigations 

The product covered by these 

investigations is PTFE resin from India 

and the PRC. For a full description of 

the scope of these investigations, see the 

‘‘Scope of the Investigations,’’ in the 

Appendix to this notice. 

Comments on Scope of the 

Investigations 

During our review of the Petitions, the 

petitioner submitted a revised proposed 

scope to ensure that the scope language 

in the Petitions would be an accurate 

reflection of the products for which the 

domestic industry is seeking relief.7

As discussed in the preamble to the 

Department’s regulations, we are setting 

aside a period for interested parties to 

raise issues regarding product coverage 

(scope).8 The Department will consider 

all comments received from interested 

parties and, if necessary, will consult 

with interested parties prior to the 

issuance of the preliminary 

determinations. If scope comments 

include factual information,9 all such 

factual information should be limited to 

public information. To facilitate 

preparation of its questionnaires, the 

Department requests all interested 

parties to submit such comments by 

5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on 

Tuesday, November 7, 2017, which is 20 

calendar days from the signature date of 

this notice. Any rebuttal comments, 

which may include factual information, 

must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, 

November 17, 2017, which is 10 

calendar days from the initial comments 

deadline.10

The Department requests that any 

factual information the parties consider 

relevant to the scope of the 

investigations be submitted during this 

time period. However, if a party 

subsequently finds that additional 

factual information pertaining to the 

scope of the investigations may be 

relevant, the party may contact the 

Department and request permission to 

submit the additional information. All 

such comments must be filed on the 

records of each of the concurrent AD 

and CVD investigations. 

Filing Requirements 

All submissions to the Department 

must be filed electronically using 

Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping Duty and Countervailing
