Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: December 30, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Kolberg, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-1785.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 3, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice announcing the opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on granular 
polytetrafluoroethylene (``PTFE'') resin from Italy for the period 
August 1, 2008 through July 31, 2009. See Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 74 FR 38397 (August 3, 2009). On August 28, 
2009, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), the Department received a 
timely request from E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Company to conduct an 
administrative review of Solvay Solexis, S.p.A.
    On September 22, 2009, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of an antidumping duty administrative review of Solvay 
Solexis, S.p.A.'s exports from Italy. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 74 FR 48224 (September 22, 2009). On December 10, 2009, E.I. 
DuPont de Nemours & Company, the petitioner, withdrew its request for 
review.

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, E.I. DuPont Nemours & Company, the sole party requesting 
the review, withdrew its request on December 10, 2009, which was before 
the 90-day deadline. Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 
Department is rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on granular PTFE resin from Italy for the period August 1, 
2008 to July 31, 2009.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Since the review of Solvay S.p.A. is being rescinded, antidumping 
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of 
estimated antidumping 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 intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this 
rescission notice in the Federal Register.

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 protective 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 notice is issued and published in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 22, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
