SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 1, 2008, in response to requests from Wellman, Inc., and 
Invista, S.a.r.L. (the petitioners), the Department of Commerce 
(Department) published a notice of initiation of administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on polyester staple fiber from Taiwan. 
See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 37409 
(July 1, 2008). On July 23, 2008, the petitioners withdrew their 
request for an administrative review of Nan Ya Plastics Corporation. 
See letter from the petitioners dated July 23, 2008.

Rescission of Review in Part

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) the Department will rescind 
an administrative review ``if a party that requested the review 
withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of 
notice of initiation of the requested review.'' We received the above 
withdrawal letter within the 90-day time limit. Because the Department 
received no other requests for review of Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, 
the Department is rescinding the review in part with respect to 
polyester staple fiber from Taiwan from Nan Ya Plastics Corporation. 
This rescission is pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The Department 
will issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection 15 days after publication of this notice.

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.
    We are issuing and publishing this rescission in accordance with 
section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 25, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
