INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1131-1132, and 1134 (Review)]


Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From Brazil, 
China, and The United Arab Emirates

    Scheduling of full five-year reviews.

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full 
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of the 
antidumping duty orders on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and 
strip from Brazil, China, and the United Arab Emirates would be likely 
to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a 
reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission has determined to exercise 
its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 
19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).\1\ For further information concerning the 
conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A 
through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 
CFR part 207).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In addition, the Commission has the authority to toll 
statutory deadlines during a period when the government is closed. 
Because the Commission was closed on December 10, 2013, and on 
January 21, February 13, March 3, and March 17, 2014 due to 
inclement weather in Washington, DC, the statutory deadline may be 
tolled by up to five days.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATES:  Effective Date: July 21, 2014.
