Background The Commission instituted these reviews on April 1, 2021 (86 FR 17197) and determined on July 7, 2021 that it would conduct full reviews (86 FR 37343, July 15, 2021). Notice of the scheduling of the Commission’s reviews and of a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on October 20, 2021 (86 FR 58101). The Commission conducted its hearing on January 27, 2022. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate. The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It completed and filed its determinations in these reviews on March 30, 2022. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5298 (March 2022), entitled Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Resin from Canada, China, India, and Oman: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–531–532 and 731–TA– 1270–1273 (Review).

EP Energy E&P Company, L.P., Civil Action No. 2:22– cv–00225–DBB. This is a civil action for injunctive relief and civil penalties brought by the United States and the State of Utah against EP Energy E&P Company L.P. (‘‘EP Energy’’) under the Clean Air Act. The Complaint alleges unlawful emissions of volatile organic compounds from storage vessels and their associated vapor control systems that were part of EP Energy’s oil and natural gas production systems in the Uinta Basin oil and natural gas production well operations in Utah. The Consent Decree requires EP Energy to institute a comprehensive injunctive program to help ensure it will design, operate, and maintain approximately 250 production facilities in compliance with federal and state law. EP Energy will also pay a $700,000 penalty, to be split evenly between the United States and Utah, and implement a mitigation project at a cost of approximately $1.2 million that will reduce EP Energy’s volatile organic compound and methane emissions. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to United States and the State of Utah v.

Thereafter, on January 7, 2020, the CALJ issued Order No. 15, which construed various terms in the asserted patents. On March 5, 2020, the CALJ granted Ethicon’s motion to terminate claim 1 of the ’379 patent and all claims of the ’749 patent from the investigation. See Order No. 21, unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Mar. 25, 2020). On April 21, 2020, Ethicon moved for leave to file a second amended complaint to include the Certificate of Correction for the ’379 patent. The CALJ granted Ethicon’s motion on May 6, 2020, and Ethicon filed its second amended complaint on May 7, 2020. See Order No. 36; Doc. ID 709878. On June 8, 2021, the CALJ issued the subject ID on violation, which found a violation of section 337 based on infringement of the asserted claims of the ’369 and ’379 patents by Intuitive. The ID found no violation based on the ’969 and ’874 patents. Also, on June 8, 2021, the CALJ issued his recommended determination on remedy and bonding. The CALJ recommended, upon a finding of violation, that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order, issue cease and desist orders, and impose a bond in the amount of zero percent (0%) of the entered value of any covered products imported during the period of Presidential review. On June 21, 2021, Ethicon and Intuitive submitted petitions seeking review of the subject ID. Intuitive’s petition included a request for suspension of enforcement of any remedial orders directed to the ’379 patent based on a Final Written Decision by the PTAB, in which the PTAB found all claims of the ’379 patent unpatentable. See Intuitive Surgical, Inc. v. Ethicon LLC, IPR2020– 00050, IPR2020–00051, Patent 9,844,379, Final Written Decision Determining All Challenged Claims Unpatentable (Mar. 26, 2021). On June 29, 2021, Ethicon and Intuitive submitted responses to the other’s petitions. On June 9, 2021, the Commission issued a notice soliciting public comments on the public interest factors, if any, that may be implicated if a remedy were to be issued in this investigation. 85 FR 30735 (May 20, 2020). The Commission received twelve submissions from the public in response to its notice. On August 16, 2021, issued notice of its determination to review the ID in part with respect to (1) the ID’s findings on claim construction, infringement, anticipation, obviousness, and enforceability for the ’969 patent; and (2) the ID’s findings on claim construction, infringement, and obviousness for the ’369 patent. The Commission determined not to review the remainder of the ID, including the ID’s determination that a violation of section 337 had occurred with respect to the ’379 patent and that no violation occurred with respect to the ’874 patent. In connection with its review of the ID, the Commission sought briefing from the parties on several questions germane to the issues on review and on remedy, bonding, and the public interest. The parties filed their initial response to the Commission’s review questions on August 23, 2021, and their respective reply briefs on August 30, 2021. Having considered the parties’ submissions, the ID, and the record in this investigation, the Commission has determined that Intuitive has violated section 337 by importing into the United States, selling for importation, or selling in the United States after importation certain laparoscopic surgical staplers, reload cartridges, and components thereof that infringe claims 2 and 3 of the ’379 patent. The Commission has further determined to affirm, reverse, and take no position on certain portions of the ID, as explained in the Commission’s opinion issued concurrently herewith. The Commission has determined that the appropriate remedy is: (a) A limited exclusion order prohibiting the importation of certain laparoscopic surgical staplers, reload cartridges, and components thereof that infringe claims 2 and 3 of the ’379 patent; and (b) cease and desist orders against Intuitive. The Commission has determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(d)(1) and (f)(1) do not preclude issuance of the limited exclusion order or cease and desist orders. The Commission has also determined to set a bond in the amount of zero percent (0%) (i.e., no bond) of the entered value of the excluded products imported during the period of Presidential review (19 U.S.C. 1337(j)). The Commission has also determined to suspend enforcement of its remedial orders, including the bond provision, pending final resolution of a Final Written Decision issued by the PTAB on March 26, 2021, finding all claims of the ’379 patent to be unpatentable. See 35 U.S.C. 318(b); Intuitive Surgical, Inc. v. Ethicon LLC, IPR2020–00050, IPR2020– 00051, Patent 9,844,379, Final Written Decision Determining All Challenged Claims Unpatentable (Mar. 26, 2021). The Commission’s orders and opinion were delivered to the President and United States Trade Representative on the day of their issuance. The Commission vote for this determination took place on October 14, 2021. The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210).

General information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing its internet server (https:// www.usitc.gov). The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On May 6, 2016, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued countervailing duty orders on imports of PET resin from China and India (81 FR 27978) and antidumping duty orders on imports of PET resin from Canada, China, India, and Oman (81 FR 27979). The Commission is conducting reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to these reviews: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by Commerce. (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are Canada, China, India, and Oman. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determinations, the Commission defined a single Domestic Like Product, consisting of certain PET resin that is coextensive with Commerce’s scope. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as all U.S. producers of PET resin. (5) The Order Date is the date that the antidumping and countervailing duty orders under review became effective. In these reviews, the Order Date is May 6, 2016. (6) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent. Participation in the proceeding and public service list.—Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission’s rules, no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the proceeding. Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation. The Commission’s designated agency ethics official has advised that a five-year review is not the same particular matter as the underlying original investigation, and a five-year review is not the same particular matter as an earlier review of the same underlying investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). Consequently, former employees are not required to seek Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Charles Smith, Office of the General Counsel, at 202– 205–3408. Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list.—Pursuant to § 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the Secretary will make BPI submitted in this proceeding available to authorized applicants under the APO issued in the proceeding, provided that the application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the proceeding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On August 9, 2004, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping duty orders on imports of polyethylene retail carrier bags from China, Malaysia, and Thailand (69 FR 48201, 48203, and 48204). On May 4, 2010, Commerce issued a countervailing duty order on imports of polyethylene retail carrier bags from Vietnam (75 FR 23670) and antidumping duty orders on imports of polyethylene retail carrier bags from Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam (75 FR 23667). Following first five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective July 7, 2010, Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty orders on imports of polyethylene retail carrier bags from China, Malaysia, and Thailand (75 FR 38978).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background Following a detailed economic analysis, Commerce has treated Russia as a market economy country since 2002. 1 On June 30, 2021, Commerce received a petition on imports of UAN from Russia filed in proper form by CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC and its subsidiaries, Terra Nitrogen, Limited Partnership and Terra International (Oklahoma) LLC (collectively, the petitioner). In accordance with section 732(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the petitioner alleged that imports of UAN from Russia are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value within the meaning of section 731 of the Act, and that such imports are materially injuring and threaten to injure an industry in the United States. The petition also alleged that Russia should be treated as a non-market economy country for purposes of this investigation. Based upon our examination of the petition on UAN from Russia, the petition met the requirements of section 732 of the Act and Commerce subsequently initiated an AD investigation on July 20, 2021. Opportunity for Public Comment and Information Commerce invites public comment (including arguments, facts, and/or other information) on any aspect of Russia’s status as a market economy with regard to the factors listed in section 771(18)(B) of the Act, which are as follows: (i) The extent to which the currency of the foreign country is convertible into the currency of other countries; (ii) The extent to which wage rates in the foreign country are determined by free bargaining between labor and management; (iii) The extent to which joint ventures or other investments by firms of other foreign countries are permitted in the foreign country; (iv) The extent of government ownership or control of the means of production; (v) The extent of government control over allocation of resources and over price and output decisions of enterprises; and (vi) Such other factors as the administering authority considers appropriate. Any comments and information must be received no later than August 30, 2021. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(b) and 771(18)(C)(ii) of the Act. Dated: July 23, 2021.

On April 30, 2021, Commerce received timely and adequate substantive responses to the notice of initiation from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). 4 On May 3, 2021, two respondent interested parties, CG Roxane LLC (CG Roxane) and Niagara Bottling LLC (Niagara) filed substantive responses. Commerce determined that the respondent interested parties did not establish that they met the requirement in 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A) and, thus, determined that their responses were inadequate. 5 On May 21, 2021, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that we did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties. 6 As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the AD Orders. Scope of the Orders The merchandise covered by the AD Orders is PET resin having an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.70, but not more than 0.88, deciliters per gram. The scope includes blends of virgin PET resin and recycled PET resin containing 50 percent or more virgin PET resin content by weight, provided such blends meet the intrinsic viscosity requirements above. The scope includes all PET resin meeting the above specifications regardless of additives introduced in the manufacturing process. The merchandise subject to the AD Orders is properly classified under subheading 3907.60.00.30 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 merchandise covered by the AD Orders is dispositive. Analysis of Comments Received A complete discussion of all issues raised in these sunset reviews, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation of the AD Orders and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the AD Orders were to be revoked, is provided in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as an appendix to this notice.

Final Results of Reviews Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the AD Orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and the magnitude of the weighted- average dumping margins likely to prevail are up to 13.60 percent for Canada, 19.41 percent for India, 126.58 percent for China, and 7.62 percent for Oman.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On May 6, 2016, Commerce published the CVD orders on PET resin from China and India in the Federal Register. 1 On March 31, 2021, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 2 Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from DAK Americas, LLC, Indorama Ventures USA Inc., and Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, America (collectively, domestic interested parties) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 3 Each claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as domestic producers engaged in the production of PET resin in the United States. On April 30, 2021, Commerce received a substantive response from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 4 On May 3, 2021, two respondent interested parties, CG Roxane, LLC (CG Roxane) and Niagara Bottling, LLC (Niagara), filed substantive responses pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3), to the record of the China sunset review. 5 However, for the substantive responses of respondent interested parties to be considered adequate under this regulation, the respondents must account for, on average, more than 50 percent (volume or value) of total exports during the five- year period preceding the year of publication of the initiation notice, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A). CG Roxane and Niagara failed to demonstrate this. We did not receive a substantive response from any other interested party in these proceedings. On May 21, 2021, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.6 As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of these Orders. Scope of the Orders The merchandise covered by these orders is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin having an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.70, but not more than 0.88, deciliters per gram.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that imports of methionine from Japan are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV) for the period of investigation July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. DATES : Applicable July 23, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Robert Scully, AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0572. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On March 4, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the preliminary affirmative determination in the LTFV investigation of methionine from Japan, in which we also postponed the final determination until July 19, 2021. 1 We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 2 Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is methionine from Japan. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Analysis of Comments Received All the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as Appendix II. 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 https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ frn/index.html. Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).3 Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made certain changes to the margin calculations for Sumitomo Chemical Company, Ltd. (Sumitomo Chemical). For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters not individually investigated shall be equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for Sumitomo Chemical. Therefore, the only rate which is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act is the rate calculated for Sumitomo Chemical. Consequently, the rate calculated for Sumitomo Chemical is also assigned as the rate for all other producers and exporters.
