SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 9, 2004, we published in the Federal Register an 
antidumping duty order on polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from 
the People's Republic of China (PRC). See Antidumping Duty Order: 
Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From the People's Republic of China, 
69 FR 48201 (August 9, 2004). On August 3, 2009, we published in the 
Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on PRCBs from the PRC. See 
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 74 FR 
38397 (August 3, 2009). On August 31, 2009, pursuant to section 751(a) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), 
the Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bag Committee and its individual 
members, Hilex Poly Co., LLC, and Superbag Corporation (collectively, 
the petitioners), requested an administrative review of the order with 
respect to Dongguan Nozawa Plastics Products Co., Ltd., and United 
Power Packaging, Ltd. (collectively, Nozawa), exporters of PRCBs from 
the PRC. Also on August 31, 2009, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Chung Va Century Macao Commercial Offshore Ltd. 
(Chung Va Macao) and Chinese Factory Zhuhai Chintec Packaging 
Technology Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Chintec Packaging), requested an 
administrative review of the order with respect to their exports of 
PRCBs from the PRC. On September 22, 2009, in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a notice of 
initiation of an administrative review of the order. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 48224 (September 22, 2009).

Rescission of Review in Part

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will 
rescind an administrative review, ``in whole or in part, if a party 
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the 
date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' 
We received a notice of withdrawal from the petitioners with respect to 
Nozawa within the 90-day time limit. See letter from the petitioners 
dated November 17, 2009. Because the Department received no other 
requests for review of Nozawa, the Department is rescinding the review 
of the order with respect to Nozawa. We also received a notice of 
withdrawal from Chung Va Macao and Chintec Packaging within the 90-day 
limit. See letter dated November 20, 2009. Because the Department 
received no other requests for review of Chung Va Macao and Chintec 
Packaging, the Department is rescinding the review of the order with 
respect to Chung Va Macao and Chintec Packaging. This rescission is in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The Department intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 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 Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 17, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
