Persulfates From the People's Republic of China: Notice of 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 16, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marin Weaver or Blanche Ziv, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, Room 1870, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
2336 and (202) 482-4207, respectively.

Background

    On July 3, 2007, 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, 72 FR 36420 (July 3, 2007). On July 31, 2007, 
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, 2006, through June 30, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 72 FR 48613 (August 24, 2007). On November 21, 2007 the 
Department issued a memorandum to the file extending the deadline for 
FMC to withdraw its request for a review of Shanghai AJ until December 
17, 2007. On December 17, 2007, FMC submitted a letter withdrawing its 
request for review of Shanghai AJ.

Rescission of Review

    Because FMC, the sole party which had requested a review, submitted 
a timely letter withdrawing its request for review of Shanghai AJ., 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) we are rescinding this administrative 
review of persulfates from the PRC.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S.Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit 
of estimated antidumping 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 assessment instructions 
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.

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: January 10, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
