SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 9, 2004, we published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on PRCBs from the PRC. See Antidumping Duty
Order: Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From the People's Republic of
China, 69 FR 48201 (August 9, 2004). On August 1, 2011, we published in
the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PRCBs from the
PRC. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review,
76 FR 45773 (August 1, 2011). On August 31, 2011, pursuant to section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b), the petitioners, the Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bag
Committee and its individual members, Hilex Poly Co., LLC, and Superbag
Corporation, requested an administrative review of the order with
respect to Nozawa, an exporter of PRCBs from the PRC. See the letter
from the petitioners dated August 31, 2011. On October 3, 2011, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i),
we published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the
order. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 76 FR
61076 (October 3, 2011).
Rescission of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will
rescind an administrative review, ``in whole or in part, if a party
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the
date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.''
We received a letter of withdrawal from the petitioners with respect to
the review requested of Nozawa within the 90-day time limit. See the
letter from the petitioners dated December 21, 2011. Because we
received no other requests for review of Nozawa and no other requests
for the review of the order on PRCBs from the PRC with respect to other
companies subject to the order, we are rescinding the administrative
review of the order in full. This rescission is in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1).
The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importer
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: January 13, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
