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 countervailing duty order on Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) 
Film, Sheet, and Strip from India. See Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 37890 (July 3, 2006). On July 26, 2006, 
MTZ Polyfilms, Ltd. (MTZ) timely requested that the Department conduct 
an administrative review of merchandise it produced and exported. On 
July 31, 2006, Polyplex Corporation, Ltd. (Polyplex), Jindal Poly Films 
Limited of India (Jindal), and Garware Polyester, Ltd. (Garware) also 
timely requested that the Department conduct an administrative review 
of merchandise they produced and exported.
    Polyplex withdrew its request for an administrative review on 
August 22, 2006, before the initiation of this review. Shortly 
thereafter, the Department published a notice of the initiation of the 
countervailing duty administrative review of PET Film from India for 
MTZ, Garware, and Jindal for the period January 1, 2005 through 
December 31, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 
51573 (August 30, 2006). On November 28, 2006, Jindal withdrew its 
request for an administrative review.

Partial Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at section 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. Jindal submitted its request within the 90 day 
limit set by the regulations. Since no other parties requested a review 
of Jindal, the Department is rescinding, in part, the administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on PET film from India for the 
period January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, for Jindal. Both 
Garware and MTZ remain subject to this administrative review. The 
preliminary results for this administrative review for these companies 
are currently due July 31, 2007.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 
Jindal shall be assessed countervailing duty rates equal to the cash 
deposit of the estimated countervailing 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

    Jindal's cash deposit rate will be the rate in effect on the date 
of entry. This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect until 
publication of the final results of this administrative review.

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 that is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 4, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
