SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published a notice 
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on LWS from the PRC. See Antidumping or 
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; 
Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 74 FR 41120 (August 14, 
2009), as amended. Changshu Xinsheng Bags Producing Company Ltd. 
(``Changshu'') and Zibo Aifudi Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd. (``Zibo 
Aifudi'') timely requested an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on LWS from the PRC for the period December 
3, 2007 through December 31, 2008. In accordance with Section 751(a)(1) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), of 
the Department's regulations, the Department published a notice 
initiating an administrative review of the countervailing duty order. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 48224 (September 22, 
2009).

Rescission, in Part, of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review

    The Department's regulations 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. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 
Changshu, the only party to request a review of its particular sales of 
LWS, timely withdrew its request of the review within the 90-day 
deadline. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 
Department is rescinding this administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order with respect to Changshu. This administrative 
review will continue with respect to Zibo Aifudi.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 
For Changshu, countervailing duties shall be assessed, if applicable, 
at rates equal to the cash deposit or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption. The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
