Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from the Republic of Korea: 
Partial Rescission of Ninth Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 19, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shelly Atkinson or Brandon Farlander, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 
20230; telephone (202) 482-0116 and (202) 482-0182, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 2009, the Department issued a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of this order 
for the period of review (``POR'') May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009. 
See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 74 FR 
20278 (May 1, 2009). On May 29, 2009, Huvis Corporation (``Huvis'') 
requested an administrative review of its entries that were subject to 
the antidumping duty order for this period. On that same date, the 
Department also received a request from Wellman, Inc., DAK Americas 
LLC, and Invista, S.a.r.L. (collectively, ``the petitioners'') for a 
review of Huvis and Saehan Industries, Inc. (``Saehan''). On June 24, 
2009, the Department published the notice of initiation of this 
antidumping duty administrative review, covering Huvis and Saehan. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 30052 (June 24, 
2009). On July 1, 2009, the petitioners submitted a letter noting that 
the Department issued a changed circumstances determination on August 
20, 2008, and found that Woongjin Chemical Co., Ltd. (``Woongjin'') was 
the successor-in-interest to Saehan. See Notice of Final Results of 
Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty Review: Certain Polyester Staple 
Fiber from the Republic of Korea, 73 FR 49168 (August 20, 2008). At the 
same time the petitioners clarified that their review request covered 
entries by Saehan and its successor Woongjin, as shipments may have 
been made under either name. See Letter from the Petitioners, to the 
Secretary of Commerce, entitled, ``Polyester Staple Fiber from Korea,'' 
dated July 1, 2009, at 2 and Attachment 1. On July 14, 2009, the 
petitioners timely withdrew their review request for Saehan and its 
successor company, Woongjin.

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Because the petitioners withdrew their request for review of Saehan and 
Woongjin within the 90-day period and no other party requested a review 
of Saehan's or Woongjin's entries, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review with respect to Saehan and 
Woongjin.
    The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') 15 days 
after the publication of this notice. The

[[Page 41867]]

Department will direct CBP to assess antidumping duties at the cash 
deposit rate in effect on the date of entry for entries of subject 
merchandise produced and/or exported by Saehan or Woongjin, during the 
period May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 13, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
