1. On 03/07/2016, Commerce published in the Federal Register (81 FR 11751) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value and critical circumstances in the antidumping duty investigation of certain cold-rolled steel flat products from the People's Republic of China (PRC) (see message number 6070301, dated 03/10/2016). The cash deposit rates in that message were adjusted to reflect offsets for certain subsidies associated with the companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of this merchandise (C-570-030).

2. Effective 04/20/2016, provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding expired, and as a result, suspension of liquidation was discontinued in that case (see message number 6111305, dated 04/20/2016). Therefore, effective that date, CBP should collect the full cash deposit rate calculated in the AD proceeding. Accordingly, effective 04/20/2016, for entries of certain cold-rolled steel flat products from the People's Republic of China from the exporter listed below, CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins:

Exporter: PRC-Wide Entity
Case number: A-570-029-000
Cash deposit rate: 265.79%

3. For all other entries of certain polyethylene terephthalate resin from the PRC, the following cash deposit instructions apply:

A. For all PRC exporters of certain polyethylene terephthalate resin from the PRC which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate.

B. For all non-PRC exporters of certain polyethylene terephthalate resin from the PRC which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter/producer combinations that supplied that non-PRC exporter.
