FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick Edwards or Angelica Mendoza, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 11, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the notice of opportunity to request 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on purified 
carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) from Sweden for the period July 1, 2007, 
through June 30, 2008. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 73 FR 39948

[[Page 56554]]

(July 11, 2008). On July 11, 2008, the Department received a timely 
filed request for review from CP Kelco AB (CP Kelco), on behalf of CP 
Kelco, CP Kelco U.S. Inc., Huber Engineered Materials, and J.M. Huber 
Corporation. On July 14, 2008, the Department received a request for 
review from The Aqualon Company, a division of Hercules Incorporated, 
the sole domestic producer of purified CMC (petitioner). On August 26, 
2008, the Department published in the Federal Register the notice of 
initiation of the 2007-2008 administrative review of purified CMC from 
Sweden. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 73 FR 50308 (August 26, 2008). Both petitioner 
and CP Kelco filed their entry of appearance in this administrative 
review on July 14, 2008, and September 2, 2008, respectively. The 
Department issued its antidumping duty questionnaire to CP Kelco on 
September 5, 2008.

Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review

    On September 8, 2008, we received timely filed submissions from CP 
Kelco and petitioner withdrawing their requests for an administrative 
review of CP Kelco's entries of purified CMC to the United States. Both 
parties filed the withdrawal requests within the deadline established 
by section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations. No other 
parties have requested a review of CP Kelco or any other producer or 
exporter of the subject merchandise. Therefore, we are rescinding the 
above-cited administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
company for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be 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 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 
not later than 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers 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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) 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) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: September 22, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
