Background

    On July 2, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty (AD) order on polyethylene terephthalate film 
(PET film) from Taiwan covering the period July 1, 2012 through June 
30, 2013.\1\ The Department received a timely request from Petitioners 
\2\ for an AD administrative review of two companies: Nan Ya Plastics 
Corporation (Nan Ya) and Shinkong Materials Technology Corporation 
(Shinkong).\3\ Nan Ya also timely requested a review of itself.\4\ On 
August 28, 2013, the Department published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the AD order on PET film from Taiwan with 
respect to Nan Ya and Shinkong.\5\ On December 12, 2013, Petitioners 
timely withdrew their request for reviews of both Nan Ya and 
Shinkong.\6\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 78 FR 39710 (July 2, 2013).
    \2\ Petitioners are DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester 
Film, Inc., and SKC, Inc.
    \3\ See Letter to the Department from Petitioners ``Polyethylene 
Terephthalate (PET) Film, Sheet, and Strip from Taiwan: Request for 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review'' (July 31, 2013).
    \4\ See Letter to the Department from Nan Ya Re: Polyethylene 
Terephthalate (PET) Film from Taiwan (July 31, 2013).
    \5\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 
53128 (August 28, 2013).
    \6\ See Letter to the Department from Petitioners ``Polyethylene 
Terephthalate (PET) Film, Sheet, and Strip from Taiwan: Withdrawal 
of Request for Antidumping Duty Administrative Review'' (December 
12, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission, in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Petitioners timely submitted a withdrawal request within the 90-day 
period (i.e., before December 12, 2013).\7\ Because Shinkong did not 
request a review for itself, we are rescinding this administrative 
review of the AD order on PET film from Taiwan for this company, 
consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Nan Ya did not submit a 
withdrawal request; therefore, we will proceed with an administrative 
review of this company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ As explained in the memorandum from the Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department exercised its 
discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the closure of the 
Federal Government from October 1, through October 16, 2013. See 
Memorandum for the Record from Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of 
the Federal Government'' (October 18, 2013). Therefore, all 
deadlines in this segment of the proceeding were extended by 16 
days, thus extending the deadline for filing a withdrawal request 
from November 26, 2013, until December 12, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess ADs on all appropriate entries. Shinkong shall be 
assessed ADs at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated ADs 
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, during the period July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to 
issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of this notice.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
an 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 the return or 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 issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: January 2, 2014.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
