SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 13, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
Final Results of the 2016-2017 administrative review on the antidumping 
duty order on PET film from India.\1\ Commerce is correcting the Final 
Results to address the inadvertent omission of the non-selected 
respondent companies from the rate table.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from 
India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 
2016-2017, 84 FR 9092 (March 13, 2019) (Final Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is PET film. The PET film 
subject to the order is currently classifiable under subheading 
3920.62.00.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A full description of the scope of the order is contained in 
the Final Issues and Decision Memorandum. See ``Issues and Decision 
Memorandum for the Final Results: Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, 
Sheet, and Strip from India; 2016-2017 Administrative Review'' 
(which was adopted March 5, 2019); see also Final Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Correction to Final Results

    Commerce inadvertently did not include the names of five non-
selected respondent companies in the table listing the weighted-average 
dumping margins in the Final Results. Therefore,

[[Page 19765]]

Commerce is correcting the Final Results to include the names of these 
companies. As Jindal Poly Films Limited of India (Jindal)'s rate was 
the only calculated rate for these Final Results, the rate for the non-
selected respondent companies is derived from Jindal's final weighted-
average dumping duty margin of 5.95 percent.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Final Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins for the five non--selected respondent companies 
for the period July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-
                                                              average
                  Manufacturer/Exporter                       margin
                                                             (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garware Polyester Ltd...................................            5.95
Chiripal Poly Films Limited.............................            5.95
Polyplex Corporation Ltd................................            5.95
Ester Industries Limited................................            5.95
Vacmet India Limited....................................            5.95
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antidumping Duty Assessment

    As noted in the Final Results, upon completion of this 
administrative review, Commerce shall determine and U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries. If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin 
is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final 
results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem 
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for an importer's examined sales and the total 
entered value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 
Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero 
or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-
specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    We already issued instructions to CBP for Jindal and SRF Limited/
SRF Limited of India, 15 days after publication of the final results of 
this review. For the five non-selected respondent companies: Garware 
Polyester Ltd., Chiripal Poly Films Limited, Polyplex Corporation Ltd., 
Ester Industries Limited, Vacmet India Limited, we intend to issue 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this corrected 
final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective 
retroactively for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 13, 2019, 
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 Garware Polyester Ltd., Chiripal Polyfilms 
Limited, Polyplex Corporation Ltd., Ester Industries Limited, Vacmet 
India Limited will be equal to the rates established in this notice of 
correction of final results of review; (2) for previously reviewed or 
investigated companies, including those for which Commerce may have 
determined they had no shipments during the POR, the cash deposit rate 
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review or another completed segment of this 
proceeding, but the manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither 
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any 
previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit 
rate will be the ``all-others'' rate of 5.71 percent established in the 
less-than-fair-value investigation.\4\ These deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Notice of Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination 
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: 
Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from India, 67 FR 
44175 (July 1, 2002) (Amended Final Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties' subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under 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/destruction 
of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This correction to the Final Results is published in accordance 
with section 735(d), 736(a), and 777(i)of the Act, as amended.

    Dated: April 30, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
