administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene 
retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from Thailand for the period of review

Rescission of Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(i), 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 letters 
withdrawing the requests for the review of the companies listed above 
within the 90-day time limit. The Department received no other requests 
for review of these companies. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 
Department is rescinding the review in part with respect to PRCBs from 
Thailand produced and/or exported by these companies. The Department 
will issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importer

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 31, 2008.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
