FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Bertrand, AD/CVD Operations,

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone-(202) 482-3207.

Background

    On January 28, 2008 the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on honey from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC'') covering the period December 1, 2006-November 30, 2007. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 4829 (January 28, 
2008) (``Initiation'').
    On June 10, 2007 the American Honey Producers Association and the 
Sioux Honey Association (the ``Petitioners'') withdrew their request 
for an administrative review for the following twenty-one companies: 
Anhui Honghui Foodstuff (Group) Co., Ltd., Chengdu Stone Dynasty Art 
Stone, Eurasia Bee's Products Co., Ltd., Golden Tadco Int'l, Hangzhou 
Golden Harvest Health Industry Co., Ltd., Hanseatische Nahrungsmittel 
Fabrik R Import-Export GMBH, Inner Mongolia Altin Bee-Keeping, Jiangsu 
Kanghong Natural Healthfoods Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Light Industry Products 
Imp & Exp (Group) Corp., OEI International Inc., Qingdao Aolan Trade 
Co., Ltd., QHD Sanhai Honey Co., Ltd., Shanghai Bloom International 
Trading Co., Ltd., Shanghai Foreign Trade Co., Ltd., Shanghai Hui Ai 
Mal Tose Co., Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co., Ltd., Sichuan-
Dujiangyan Dubao Bee Industrial Co., Ltd., Tianjin Eulia Honey Co., 
Ltd., Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd., Wuhan Shino-Food Trade Co., Ltd. and 
Xinjiang Jinhui Food Co., Ltd. The Petitioners were the only party to 
request a review of the entries of subject merchandise exported by 
these companies.

Partial Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within ninety days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.
    On April 22, 2008 the Department extended the deadline for 
withdrawal of request for review. The current deadline is thirty days 
after the receipt of the last response to the Department's initial 
antidumping duty questionnaire. The last questionnaire response was 
received on June 2, 2008; thus, the deadline for withdrawal of request 
for review is July 1, 2008. Because the Petitioners' withdrawal of 
requests for review was timely and no other party requested a review of 
the aforementioned companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 
we are rescinding this review with respect to Anhui Honghui Foodstuff 
(Group) Co., Ltd., Chengdu Stone Dynasty Art Stone, Eurasia Bee's 
Products Co., Ltd., Golden Tadco Int'l, Hangzhou Golden Harvest Health 
Industry Co., Ltd., Hanseatische Nahrungsmittel Fabrik R Import-Export 
GMBH, Inner Mongolia Altin Bee-Keeping, Jiangsu Kanghong Natural 
Healthfoods Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Light Industry Products Imp & Exp 
(Group) Corp., OEI International Inc., Qingdao Aolan Trade Co., Ltd., 
QHD Sanhai Honey Co., Ltd., Shanghai Bloom International Trading Co., 
Ltd., Shanghai Foreign Trade Co., Ltd., Shanghai Hui Ai Mal Tose Co., 
Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co., Ltd., Sichuan-Dujiangyan Dubao Bee 
Industrial Co., Ltd., Tianjin Eulia Honey Co., Ltd., Wuhan Bee Healthy 
Co., Ltd., Wuhan Shino-Food Trade Co., Ltd. and Xinjiang Jinhui Food 
Co., Ltd.

Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
those companies for which this review has been rescinded and which have 
a separate rate, 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)(2). The Department will issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of 
this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 
presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

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 Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: June 18, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
