1. On 10/15/2015, Commerce published in the Federal Register (80 FR 62024) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value in the antidumping duty investigation of certain polyethylene terephthalate resin from the People's Republic of China (PRC), and on 11/10/2015, Commerce published in the Federal Register (80 FR 69643) a correction to some inadvertent errors in company names in the aforementioned affirmative preliminary determination (see message number 5314303, dated 11/10/2015). 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-570-025).
