SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 10, 2001, the Department published in the Federal 
Register an antidumping duty order covering honey from the PRC. See 
Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value 
and Antidumping Duty Order: Honey from the People's Republic of China, 
66 FR 63670 (December 10, 2001). On June 21, 2006, Qingdao Aolan Trade 
Co., Ltd. (``Qingdao Aolan''), and Hangzhou Golden Harvest Health 
Industry Co., Ltd. (``Golden Harvest''), requested, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(d) of the Department's regulations, that the 
Department conduct new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on 
honey from the PRC for their respective companies covering the period 
December 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006.
    On July 20, 2006, the Department initiated new shipper reviews of 
Qingdao Aolan and Golden Harvest. See Honey from the People's Republic 
of China: Initiation of New Shipper Anti-Dumping Duty Reviews, 71 FR 
43109 (July 31, 2006). On September 15, 2006, Qingdao Aolan filed a 
letter withdrawing its request for a new shipper review. On September 
27, 2006, Golden Harvest filed a letter withdrawing its request for a 
new shipper review.

Rescission of Review

    19 CFR 351.214(f)(1) states that if a party that requested a new 
shipper review withdraws the request within 60 days of the publication 
of the notice of initiation of the requested review, the Secretary will 
rescind the review. Qingdao Aolan and Golden Harvest withdrew their 
review requests within the 60-day deadline, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(f)(1). Accordingly, we are rescinding these new shipper reviews 
of the antidumping duty order on honey from the PRC covering the period 
December 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006, with respect to Qingdao Aolan 
and Golden Harvest.

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

[[Page 62082]]

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 sections 
751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(f)(3).

    Dated: October 16, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
