SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 9, 2004, we published in the Federal Register an 
antidumping duty order on PRCBs from the PRC. See Antidumping Duty 
Order: Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From the People's Republic of 
China, 69 FR 48201 (August 9, 2004). On August 2, 2010, we published in 
the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PRCBs from the 
PRC. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 
75 FR 45094 (August 2, 2010). On August 31, 2010, pursuant to section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 
351.213(b), the petitioner, 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 Nozawa, an exporter of PRCBs from the PRC. On September 29, 
2010, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the order. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 75 FR 60076 (September 29, 2010).

Rescission of Review

    In accordance with 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.'' 
We received a notice of withdrawal from the petitioner with respect to 
the review requested of Nozawa within the 90-day time limit. See letter 
from the petitioner dated December 22, 2010. 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).
    The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
to CBP 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.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 17, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
