Laminated Woven Sacks From the People's Republic of China: Final
Results of Expedited First Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, formerly Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On July 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the
``Department'') initiated the first five-year (``sunset'') review of
the antidumping duty order on laminated woven sacks from the People's
Republic of China (``PRC'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act'').\1\ As a result of this sunset
review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on laminated woven sacks from the PRC would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the
``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On July 30, 2013, the Department received an adequate substantive

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order \3\ is laminated woven sacks.
Laminated woven sacks are bags or sacks consisting of one or more plies
of fabric consisting of woven polypropylene strip and/or woven
polyethylene strip, regardless of the width of the strip; with or
without an extrusion coating of polypropylene and/or polyethylene on
one or both sides of the fabric; laminated by any method either to an
exterior ply of plastic film such as biaxially-oriented polypropylene
(``BOPP'') or to an exterior ply of paper that is suitable for high
quality print graphics.\4\ Effective July 1, 2007, laminated woven
sacks are classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (``HTSUS'') subheadings 6305.33.0050 and 6305.33.0080. Laminated
