SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 3, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the People's Republic 
of China (``PRC''). See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation: Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 37890 (July 3, 2006). On July 31, 2006, 
FMC Corporation (``FMC'') requested that the Department conduct an 
administrative review of Shanghai AJ Import and Export Corporation 
(``Shanghai AJ''). No other parties requested a review. The Department 
published a notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of persulfates from the PRC for the period July 
1, 2005, through June 30, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 71 FR 51573 (August 30, 2006). On November 21, 2006, FMC 
withdrew its request for an administrative review.

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide 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 at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. FMC withdrew its request before the 90-day

deadline. Therefore, we are rescinding this review of the antidumping 
duty order on persulfates from the PRC covering the period July 1, 
2005, through June 30, 2006. The Department will issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
within 15 days of publication of this rescission.

Notification Regarding APOs

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APO'') 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)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 12, 2006.

Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
