SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 2, 2006, the Department published in the Federal Register 
its notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and 
strip (PET film) from South Korea for the period June 1, 2005, through 
May 31, 2006. See Antidumping of Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 
71 FR 32032 (June 2, 2006). In response, on June 30, 2006, DuPont 
Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc., and Toray Plastics 
(America), Inc. (collectively, the petitioners) timely requested an 
administrative review of Kohap, Ltd., a manufacturer/exporter of 
subject merchandise. No other party in this case requested an 
administrative review. On July 27, 2006, the Department initiated an 
administrative review of Kohap, Ltd. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 71 FR 42626 (July 27, 2006). On October 25, 2006, petitioners 
submitted a letter withdrawing their request for an administrative 
review of Kohap, Ltd. See letter from petitioners dated October 25, 
2006.

Rescission of Review

    19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) provides that the Department will rescind an 
administrative review if the party that requested the review withdraws 
its request for review within 90 days of the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation of the requested review, or withdraws its request 
for review at a later date if the Department determines it is 
reasonable to extend the time limit for withdrawing the request. In 
response to petitioners' withdrawal of their request for an 
administrative review, and because the request was timely withdrawn, 
the Department hereby rescinds the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on PET film from South Korea for the period June 
1, 2005, through May 31, 2006.
    The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within 15 days of 
the publication of this notice. The Department will direct CBP to 
assess antidumping duties for Kohap, Ltd. at the cash deposit rate in 
effect on the date of entry for entries during the period June 1, 2005, 
through May 31, 2006.

Notification to Importers

    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 Secretary's assumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and subsequent assessment 
of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 C.F.R. 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
