The merchandise covered by the Order is raw, pretreated, or primed polyethylene terephthalate sheet, whether extruded or coextruded, in nominal thicknesses of equal to or greater than 7 mil (0.007 inches or 177.8 [micro]m) and not exceeding 45 mil (0.045 inches or 1143 [mu]m) (PET sheet). The scope includes all PET sheet whether made from prime (virgin) inputs or recycled inputs, as well as any blends thereof. The scope includes all PET sheet meeting the above specifications regardless of width, color, surface treatment, coating, lamination, or other surface finish. The merchandise subject to the Order is properly classified under statistical reporting subheading 3920.62.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope is dispositive. Preliminary Results of the Changed Circumstances Review and Intent To Revoke the Order Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g), Commerce may revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, in whole or in part, based on a review under section 751(b) of the Act (i.e., a CCR). Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a CCR to be conducted upon receipt of a request which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review. Section 782(h)(2) of the Act gives Commerce the authority to revoke an order if producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product have expressed a lack of interest in the order. Section 351.222(g) of Commerce's regulations provides that Commerce will conduct a CCR under 19 CFR 351.216, and may revoke an order (in whole or in part), if it concludes that: (i) producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the order pertains have expressed a lack of interest in the relief provided by the order, in whole or in part; or (ii) if other changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation exist. Both the Act and Commerce's regulations require that ``substantially all'' domestic producers express a lack of interest in the order for Commerce to revoke the order, in whole or in part. In its administrative practice, Commerce has interpreted ``substantially all'' to represent producers accounting for at least 85 percent of U.S. production of the domestic like product. See section 782(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g). See Honey from Argentina; Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Reviews; Preliminary Intent to Revoke Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 77 FR 67790, 67791 (November 14, 2012), unchanged in Honey from Argentina; Final Results of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Reviews; Revocation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 77 FR 77029 (December 31, 2012). Commerce did not issue a combined notice of initiation and preliminary results in this CCR because the record was unclear as to whether the petitioners account for substantially all domestic production of PET sheet. Thus, Commerce did not determine in the Initiation Notice whether producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product lacked interest in maintaining the Order. Instead, we invited interested parties to submit comments concerning domestic industry support with respect to the requested revocation of the Order. Although OCTAL Extrusion submitted comments in response to the initiation of this CCR, it did not comment on whether it, or the petitioners, account for substantially all domestic production of PET sheet. Commerce, therefore, received no additional comments on industry support aside from comments by a domestic producer of PET sheet, OCTAL Extrusion, in support of the revocation. As a result, we find that the domestic industry has expressed no opposition with respect to the proposed revocation of the Order. See Initiation Notice. Id., 87 FR at 69253. See OCTAL Extrusion's Letter. In light of the petitioners' statement of lack of interest, OCTAL Extrusion's comments in support of the revocation, and the absence of comments from any interested party addressing the issue of domestic industry support, we preliminarily conclude that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the Order pertains lack interest in the relief provided by the Order. Thus, we preliminarily determine that changed circumstances warrant revocation of the Order. We will consider comments from interested parties on these preliminary results before issuing the final results of this review. Accordingly, we are notifying the public of our intent to revoke the Order. If we make a final determination to revoke the Order, then section 751(d)(3) of the Act provides that ``{a{time} determination under this section to revoke an order . . . shall apply with respect to unliquidated entries of the subject merchandise which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date determined by the administering authority.'' Consequently, Commerce's general practice is to instruct U.S.

The antidumping measure covers Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheet, imported from Sultanate of Oman. Case number A-523-813 is one of 540 active orders tracked in the database and was established 2022-12-27; the described product range determines which ten-digit lines inherit the cash-deposit obligation. Scope language in the Federal Register document controls.
No: the order was revoked, joining 12 revoked cases in the tracked database. Entries made before the revocation effective date remain assessable at the original rates, while later entries clear without the deposit under this case number. Keep entry records handy because CBP can still liquidate earlier shipments under the original finding.
These HTS headings are recorded in the case linkage: 3920.62.00. Confirm the exact ten-digit code against the published scope language, because product descriptions rather than codes alone define the legal boundary of the order, and scope rulings occasionally widen or narrow which lines inherit the deposit obligation.
