SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 1, 2007, the Department issued a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of this order for the period of review 
(``POR'') May 1, 2006, through April 30, 2007. See Antidumping or 
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; 
Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 72 FR 23796 (May 1, 
2007). On May 31, 2007, Huvis Corporation (``Huvis'') requested an 
administrative review of its entries that were subject to the 
antidumping duty order for this period. On that same date, the 
Department also received a request from Wellman, Inc., DAK Americas 
LLC, and Invista, S.a.r.L. (collectively, ``the petitioners'') for a 
review of Huvis, Saehan Industries, Inc. (``Saehan''), Mijung Industry 
Co., Ltd. (``Mijung''), Estal Industry Co., Ltd. (``Estal''), Keon Baek 
Co., Ltd. (``Keon Baek''), Sam Young Synthetics Co., Ltd. (``Sam 
Young''), Sunglim Co., Ltd. (``Sunglim''), and Daeyang Industrial Co., 
Ltd. (``Daeyang'').\1\ On June 13, 2007, the petitioners withdrew their 
review request for Keon Baek because that company is no longer subject 
to the order. On June 20, 2007, the petitioners withdrew their review 
requests for Mijung, Sam Young, and Sunglim. On June 29, 2007, the 
Department published the notice of initiation of this antidumping duty 
administrative review, covering Huvis, Saehan, Estal, Daeyang, and 
Samyang Corporation (``Samyang''). See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, Request for Revocation in 
Part and Deferral of Administrative Review, 72 FR 35690 (June 29, 
2007). On July 26, 2007, the petitioners withdrew their request for 
review of Saehan. On September 21, 2007, the petitioners withdrew their 
request for reviews of Estal and Daeyang.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The petitioners also asked for the Department to request 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection import data, for either direct 
shipments or shipments through Canada or Mexico, under the name 
``Samyang,'' but did not request an administrative review of this 
company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Because the petitioners withdrew their request for review of Saehan, 
Estal, and Daeyang within the 90-day period and no other party 
requested a review of Saehan's, Estal's, or Daeyang's entries, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review 
with respect to Saehan, Estal, and Daeyang.
    With respect to Samyang, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), the 
Department conducts an administrative review based on a request from a 
domestic interested party that specifies individual exporters or 
producers covered by the order. The Department has determined that the 
petitioners' May 31, 2007, request for U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection data with respect to Samyang did not constitute a written 
request for an administrative review of Samyang's entries. Therefore, 
the Department erred in self-initiating the review of Samyang's 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(2), we are rescinding 
this review with respect to Samyang.
    The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after 
the publication of this notice. The Department will direct CBP to 
assess antidumping duties at the cash deposit rate in effect on the 
date of entry for entries of subject merchandise produced and/or 
exported by Samyang, Saehan, Estal, and Daeyang during the period May 
1, 2006, through April 30, 2007.
    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).

    Dated: October 26, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
