raspberries to the United States during the period July 1, 2004,

with respect to certain companies, we are rescinding, in part, the 
third administrative review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
those companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties 
shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated 
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). 
The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly 
to CBP within 15 days of publication of this notice.

Cash Deposit Rates

    For the companies for which this review is rescinded, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be 6.33 percent, the ``all others'' rate 
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. See Notice of 
Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: IQF Red 
Raspberries from Chile, 67 FR 40270 (June 12, 2002).
    These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until 
publication of the final results of this administrative review.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation

[[Page 76772]]

of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding APOs

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APOs'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 21, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
