Laminated Woven Sacks From the People's Republic of China: 
Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is rescinding the 
administrative review of the countervailing duty order on laminated 
woven sacks (sacks) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the 
period January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2009, with respect to Zibo 
Aifudi Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd. (Zibo Aifudi). Since Zibo Aifudi was 
the only party that requested a review and is the only producer/
exporter subject to review, this notice also serves to rescind the 
entire administrative review. This rescission is based on Zibo Aifudi's 
timely withdrawal of its request for review.

DATES: Effective Date: December 30, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 7, 2008, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the countervailing duty order on sacks from the PRC. See Laminated 
Woven Sacks From the People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty 
Order, 73 FR 45955 (August 7, 2008). On August 2, 2010, the Department 
published a notice announcing the opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the countervailing duty order on sacks from 
the PRC for the period January 1, 2009,

[[Page 82377]]

through December 31, 2009. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 
Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 75 FR 45094 (August 2, 2010). On August 26, 
2010, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), the Department received a 
timely request from Zibo Aifudi, a Chinese producer and exporter to the 
United States of sacks, to conduct an administrative review of the 
company under the countervailing duty order on sacks from the PRC for 
the period January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the 
Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), on September 29, 2010, the Department 
published a notice initiating an administrative review of Zibo Aifudi 
under the countervailing duty order. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 75 FR 60076 (September 29, 2010). On November 3, 2010, Zibo 
Aifudi 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. On 
November 3, 2010, Zibo Aifudi withdrew its request for review within 
the 90-day period, and no other party requested a review. Therefore, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is rescinding this 
administrative review.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties at the cash deposit rate in 
effect on the date of entry, for entries during the period January 1, 
2009, through December 31, 2009. The Department intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
this notice of rescission of administrative review.

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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 22, 2010.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
