order on PET Film from India covering one producer/exporter of subject 
merchandise, Jindal Poly Films Limited of India (Jindal), for the

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 50308 (August 26, 2008) (Initiation 
Notice). On October 26, 2009, Jindal filed a timely withdrawal from its

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Jindal is the only respondent in this

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) 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 its request at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. Jindal submitted its request within the 90 day 
limit set by the regulations. Since no other parties requested a review 
of Jindal, the Department is rescinding, the administrative review of 
the countervailing duty order on PET Film from India for the period 
January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008, for Jindal.

Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 
Jindal shall be assessed countervailing duty rates equal to the cash 
deposit of the estimated countervailing 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 will issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of publication 
of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR 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 the 
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) 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 may be subject to sanctions.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: November 10, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
