SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 1, 2012, we published a notice of opportunity to request
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PRCBs from
the PRC for the period of review August 1, 2011, through July 31,
2012.\1\ On August 31, 2012, 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 Dongguan Nozawa Plastics Products Co., Ltd. and
United Power Packaging, Ltd. (collectively, Nozawa).\2\ On September
26, 2012, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review of the order on PRCBs from the PRC with respect
to Nozawa.\3\

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 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.'' The
petitioners withdrew their request for review within the 90-day time
limit. 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).
Accordingly, the Department intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 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.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 (d)(4).
Dated: December 21, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
