SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Decision Memorandum.

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is PET film. For a complete description
of the scope, see the Issue and Decision
Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised parties’ briefs are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues
addressed is attached to this notice as
an appendix. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a
complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the internet at http://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from
interested parties, we made changes to
the net subsidy rate calculated for the
mandatory respondent. For a discussion
of these issues, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). For each of the subsidy programs
found countervailable, we find that
there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-
provided financial contribution that
gives rise to a benefit to the recipient,
and that the subsidy is specific.
4
For a
description of the methodology
underlying all of Commerce’s
conclusions, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
We determine the following net
countervailable subsidy rate for the
period January 1, 2018, through
December 31, 2018:
Manufacturer/exporter Subsidy rate
(percent
ad valorem)
Jindal Poly Films Limited of
India .................................. 11.67
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the
calculations performed for the final
results of review within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Requirements
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon
issuance of these final results,
Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after publication of the final results
of this review in the Federal Register.
If a timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Act, Commerce also intends to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the
amount shown above for Jindal with
regard to shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of these
final results of review. For all non-
reviewed firms, CBP will continue to
collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties at the all-others
rate or the most recent company-specific
rate applicable to the company, as
appropriate. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
The final results are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 11, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement
and Compliance.
