SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 7, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on 
laminated woven sacks (``LWS'') from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Laminated Woven Sacks 
From the People's Republic of China, 73 FR 45941 (August 7, 2008) 
(``LWS Order''). On August 3, 2009, the Department published a notice 
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the LWS Order. 
See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 74 FR 
38397 (August 3, 2009).
    The Department received a timely request for an administrative 
review of the LWS Order from Zibo Aifudi Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd. 
(``Zibo Aifudi'') and Changshu Xinsheng Bags Producing Company, Ltd. 
(``Changshu Xinsheng Bags'') on August 26, 2009 and August 31, 2009, 
respectively, in accordance with section 751(a) of Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the ``Act''). On September 22, 2009, the Department 
published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation of an 
administrative review of the LWS Order. See Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for 
Revocation in Part, 74 FR 48224 (September 22, 2009) (``Initiation 
Notice''). The review was initiated with respect to both companies and 
covers the period from January 31, 2008, through July 31, 2009. On 
November 6, 2009, Changshu Xinsheng Bags submitted to the Department a 
timely letter requesting a withdrawal from the ongoing administrative 
review.

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Because Changshu Xinsheng Bags withdrew its request for an 
administrative review within 90 days of the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation, and no other interested party requested a review 
of this company, the Department is rescinding this review with respect 
to Changshu Xinsheng Bags, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The 
review will continue with respect to Zibo Aifudi which is identified in 
the Initiation Notice.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Since the company for which this review has been rescinded does not 
have a separate rate at this time, the Department will issue assessment 
instructions for this company upon completion of the instant 
administrative review.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers whose entries 
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, 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 Secretary's assumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and subsequent assessment 
of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (``APOs'')

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APOs of 
their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 11, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
