Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in this review, including the likelihood of 
continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation and 
the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail if the Order 
were revoked, are listed in the Appendix to this notice, and addressed 
in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. The Issues and 
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically 
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to

Final Results of Sunset Reviews

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we 
determine that revocation of the antidumping duty Order on laminated 
woven sacks from China would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping, and that the magnitude of the margins likely to 
prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 91.73 percent.
