SUMMARY: On September 30, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice announcing the initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on granular 
polytetrafluoroethylene resin from Italy, covering the period August 1, 
2007, through July 31, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping and

review as a result of Solvay's withdrawal of its request for an 
administrative review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), on August 29, 2008, Solvay 
timely requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
on granular polytetrafluoroethylene resin from Italy. Solvay was the 
only party to request this administrative review. On September 30, 
2008, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221 (c)(1)(i), the Department 
published its notice of initiation of administrative review of this 
order for the period August 1, 2007, through July 31, 2008. Solvay 
withdrew its request for this review on December 9, 2008.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
Secretary may extend this time limit if the Secretary decides that it 
is reasonable to do so. Solvay withdrew its request within the 90-day 
period, and no other party requested a review. Therefore, in response 
to Solvay's withdrawal of its request for an administrative review, the 
Department hereby rescinds the administrative review of the antidumping 
order on granular'' polytetrafluoroethylene resin from Italy for the 
period August 1, 2007, through July 31, 2008.

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the company for which this review is rescinded, the antidumping duties 
shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated 
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). 
The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to 
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this notice of rescission 
of administrative review.

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 double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protection orders (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation.
    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 30, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
