SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 1, 2012, we published a notice of opportunity to request 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PRCBs from 
the PRC for the period of review August 1, 2011, through July 31, 
2012.\1\ On August 31, 2012, the petitioners, the Polyethylene Retail 
Carrier Bag Committee and its individual members, Hilex Poly Co., LLC, 
and Superbag Corporation, requested an administrative review of the 
order with respect to Dongguan Nozawa Plastics Products Co., Ltd. and 
United Power Packaging, Ltd. (collectively, Nozawa).\2\ On September 
26, 2012, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 
administrative review of the order on PRCBs from the PRC with respect 
to Nozawa.\3\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 77 FR 45580 (August 1, 2012).

``Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the People's Republic of 
China: Request for Administrative Review'' (August 31, 2012).
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 77 FR

    On November 21, 2012, the petitioners withdrew their request for an 
administrative review.\4\

``Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the People's Republic of 
China: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review'' (November

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 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.'' The 
petitioners withdrew their request for review within the 90-day time 
limit. Because we received no other requests for review of Nozawa and 
no other requests for the review of the order on PRCBs from the PRC 
with respect to other companies subject to the order, we are rescinding 
the administrative review of the order in full. This rescission is in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
    Accordingly, the Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 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.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
an 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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 (d)(4).

    Dated: December 21, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
