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
registered users at http://access.trade.gov, and to all parties in the

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.
