Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item 
number 3920.62.00.90. HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 
and customs purposes. The written description of the scope of the order 
is dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case brief and rebuttal briefs are 
addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is attached to 
this notice as an Appendix.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made changes 
to SRF's and Jindal's margin calculations.\3\ The margins for both SRF 
and Jindal are now zero. In addition, we adjusted Jindal's reported 
U.S. prices to account for changes in its export subsidies in the final 
results of the companion countervailing duty administrative review.\4\ 
Additionally, for companies not selected for individual review, we have 
assigned a zero rate in the final results of this review, in accordance 
with section 735(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this 
proceeding within five days after the public announcement of the final 
results, in accordance with section 735(a) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), the Department determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise, in accordance with the final results of 
this review. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to 
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final results of 
review. Because we have calculated zero margins in the final results of 
this review for both mandatory respondents during this POR, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212 we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
without regard to antidumping duties any entries produced and/or 
exported by Garware, Jindal, SRF, or Vacmet during the POR.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of PET Film from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final 
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies 
under review will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated 
companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the 
most recent period for that company; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value 
investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent 
period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither the 
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any other 
completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will 
be the all others rate for this proceeding, 5.71 percent. These deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers 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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notifications to Interested Parties

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    The Department is issuing and publishing these final results of 
administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221.

    Dated: December 12, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
