1. On 01/05/2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register (83 FR 665) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value in the antidumping duty (AD) investigation of fine denier polyester staple fiber from the People's Republic of China (China) (see message number 8059304, dated 02/28/2018). 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-570-061).

2. The final day that provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding were in effect was 03/05/2018. As a result, suspension of liquidation and CVD cash deposits were discontinued in that case (see message number 8065301, dated 03/06/2018). Accordingly, effective 03/06/2018 (the first day provisional measures were no longer in effect in the companion CVD proceeding), Commerce directed CBP to collect AD cash deposits at the rates calculated in the AD preliminary determination without any offset for subsidies associated with the companion CVD investigation. See message 8065304, dated 03/06/2018.

3. Subsequently, on 03/16/2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register (83 FR 11681) its amended CVD final determination and CVD order (see message number 8082302, dated 03/23/2018). Accordingly, Commerce directed CBP to reinstate suspension of liquidation in the CVD proceeding, effective 03/13/2018 (date of publication of the International Trade Commission (ITC) final determination in the companion CVD proceeding in the Federal Register) (see message number 8082302, dated 03/23/2018). Therefore, effective 03/13/2018 (the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the companion CVD proceeding in the Federal Register), CBP should collect the cash deposits in the AD proceeding, at the rates identified in paragraph 4 below. These rates have been adjusted to reflect offsets for certain subsidies associated with Commerce's amended CVD final determination and CVD order.

4. Accordingly, for shipments of subject merchandise from the producers and/or exporters or producer/exporter combinations listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 03/13/2018 (the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the companion CVD proceeding in the Federal Register), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins:
