SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 30, 2005, the Department published in the Federal Register 
an antidumping duty order covering tissue paper from the PRC. See 
Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value 
and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Tissue Paper Products from the 
People's Republic of China, 70 FR 16223 (March 30, 2005) (Tissue Paper 
Order). On March 2, 2006, the Department published a Notice of 
Opportunity to Request Administrative Review of Antidumping or 
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation, 71 FR 
10642.
    On March 30, 2006, interested party Cleo Inc., an importer of 
subject merchandise, requested, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on tissue paper 
from the PRC for China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Xiamen 
Corp. (China National), Putian City Hong Ye Paper Products Co., Ltd., 
and Putian City Chengxiang Qu Li Feng covering the POR. On March 31, 
2006, Seaman Paper Company of Massachusetts, Inc., petitioner, 
requested, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on tissue paper from the PRC for 
16 companies covering the POR. The companies are AR P&P, China 
National, Foshan Sansico Co., Ltd., Naoshan, Magicpro, Gifiworld 
Enterprise Co., Ltd., Guilin Qifeng, Goldwing, Kepsco, Inc., Max 
Fortune Industrial Limited, PT Grafitecindo Ciptaprima, PT Printec 
Perkasa, PT Printec Perkasa II, PT Sansico Utama, Sansico Asia Pasific 
Limited, and Vietnam Quijiang Paper Co., Ltd.
    On March 31, 2006, Samsam Productions Ltd. requested, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(b), an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on tissue paper from the PRC for itself and its affiliated 
Chinese supplier Guangzhou Baxi Printing Products Co., Ltd. for the 
POR, as did Max Fortune Industrial Limited and Max Fortune Paper 
Products Co., Ltd. On April 28, 2006, the Department initiated an 
administrative review of 20 companies. See Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 25145 (April 28, 
2006).
    On July 24, 2006, petitioner requested that the Department extend 
the deadline for withdrawing requests for specific producers and 
exporters in the instant administrative review. On July 26, 2006, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(i), the Department granted an 
extension for withdrawing requests until August 25, 2006. On August 25, 
2006, petitioner filed a letter withdrawing its request for review of 
five companies, Naoshan, Magicpro, Guilin Qifeng, Goldwing, and AR P&P. 
Petitioner was the only party to request a review of these five 
companies.

Rescission of Review

    The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if a 
party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request 
within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the 
requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. The regulation 
also states that the Secretary may extend this time limit if the 
Secretary decides that it is reasonable to do so. In this instance, 
petitioner requested a 29-day extension of the deadline to withdraw 
review requests. The Department granted the extension because the 
Department had not yet committed substantial resources to reviewing 
these companies. See, e.g., Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, 
Finished and Unfinished, From Hungary: Recission of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 65 FR 35610 (June 5, 2000). Petitioner then 
submitted a request withdrawing the review with respect to the five 
companies within the extended 119-day deadline, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1). Because petitioner was the only party to request an 
administrative review of these five companies, we are partially 
rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on tissue paper 
from the PRC covering the period September 21, 2004, through February 
28, 2006, with respect to Naoshan, Magicpro, Guilin Qifeng, Goldwing, 
and AR P&P.

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)(2). 
The Department will issue appropriate assessment

instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of publication of this 
notice.

Notification of Interested Parties

    This notice serves as a final 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 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    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 that is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751 
and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: September 25, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
