The Commerce Department will consider the possible revocation of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet from the Sultanate of Oman (A-523-813), based on a request from the three companies that originally requested the duties, it said in a notice initiating a changed circumstances review, released Nov. 17. Advanced Extrusion, Inc., Good Natured Products, IL (dba Ex-Tech Inc.) and Multi-Plastics Extrusions, Inc. requested the revocation on Oct. 26. Commerce said it determined that the information submitted by the petitioners -- their statement of no interest in the continued maintenance of the AD order -- constitutes a sufficient basis to conduct a changed circumstances review. The petitioners said that they were the sole petitioners in the original investigation, but that they did not know whether they account for substantially all of the U.S. production of the domestic like product covered by the AD order, Commerce said. As such, Commerce will proceed with a review but isn't making a preliminary determination concurrent with this notice. Commerce will accept comments from interested parties on the review, including comments on industry support, through Nov. 28.
