SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 3, 2007, the Department published in the Federal 
Register its notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on hand trucks and certain parts thereof 
from the People's Republic of China. See Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review, 72 FR 67889 (December 3, 2007). In accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), on December 28, 2007, petitioners requested 
that the Department conduct an administrative review for the following 
exporters of the subject merchandise: Qingdao Taifa Group Co. Ltd. 
(Taifa); True Potential Co., Ltd. (True Potential); Since Hardware 
(Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Since Hardware); and New-Tec Integration 
(Xiamen) Co., Ltd. (New-Tec).
    On January 28, 2008, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of hand trucks from the PRC for the period 
December 1, 2006, through November 30, 2007, with respect to the above-
named four companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 
4829 (January 28, 2008).
    On March 28, 2008, the Department determined that it was not 
practicable to examine individually all of the companies covered by the 
2006-2007 administrative review, and thus it limited its examination to 
the largest producers/exporters that could reasonably be reviewed, 
pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Tariff Act). The Department selected Taifa as the sole respondent 
required to submit a full questionnaire response in the administrative 
review. See the memorandum titled ``Respondent Selection Memorandum: 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Hand Trucks and Certain Parts 
Thereof from the People's Republic of China'' dated March 28, 2008.
    On April 4, 2008, petitioners withdrew their requests for Taifa, 
Since, and New-Tec.\1\ On April 24, 2008, petitioners withdrew their 
request for an administrative review for True Potential.

Rescission of Review

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations 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 at a later date if the Department determines that 
it is reasonable to extend the time limit for withdrawing the request. 
As the party that requested this review has timely withdrawn those 
requests, this review is rescinded. The Department will issue 
appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Bureau of Customs 
and Border Protection.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under section 351.402(f) of the Department's regulations 
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 
assumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and 
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with section 351.305(a)(3) of the Department's 
regulations. 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 the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff 
Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: June 19, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
