Type of Request: Emergency submission. Burden Hours: 10. Number of Respondents: 10. Average Hours Per Response: 1. Needs and Uses: The Tax Relief and Heath Care Act of 2006 (‘‘the Act’’) contains provisions to assist the men’s and boys’’ cotton shirting industry. Among these provisions, the Act creates an annual tariff rate quota (TRQ) providing for temporary reductions through December 31, 2009 in the import duties of cotton woven fabrics suitable for making men’s and boys’ cotton shirts (new Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) headings 9902.52.08, 9902.52.09, 9902.52.10, 9902.52.11, 9902.52.12, 9902.52.13, 9902.52.14, 9902.52.15, 9902.52.16, 9902.52.17, 9902.52.18, and 9902.52.19). The reduction in duty is limited to 85 percent of the total square meter equivalents of all imported woven fabrics of cotton containing 85 percent or more by weight cotton used by manufacturers in cutting and sewing men’s and boy’s cotton shirts in the United States and purchased by such manufacturer during calendar year 2000. Section 406(b)(1) of the Act requires the Secretary of Commerce to fairly allocate the tariff rate quota. More specifically, the Secretary of Commerce must issue licenses and ensure that the tariff rate quota is fairly allocated to eligible manufacturers under such headings 9902.52.08 through 9902.52.19. The TRQ is effective for goods entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 1, 2007, and will remain in force through 2009. The TRQ will be allocated each year and a TRQ allocation will be valid only in the year for which it is issued. The reduction of import duties provided by the TRQ will be of considerable benefit to firms that receive TRQ allocations. It will lower the firms’ cost of production, enabling them to better compete with foreign imports. The Department of Commerce has prepared, and will transmit to OMB for approval, an interim final rule to implement these responsibilities. The major firms that stand to benefit from the TRQ were consulted during this process. The Department must collect a notarized affidavit in order to carry out its responsibilities under the Act pursuant to Section 406(b)(3) of the Act .

We are amending the Final Results to correct ministerial errors made in the calculation of the dumping margins for Crown Polyethylene Products (International) Ltd. (‘‘Crown’’) and High Den Enterprises Ltd. (‘‘High Den’’), pursuant to section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). EFFECTIVE DATE: May 9, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scope of Order The merchandise subject to this antidumping duty order is polyethylene retail carrier bags (‘‘PRCBs’’) which may be referred to as t–shirt sacks, merchandise bags, grocery bags, or checkout bags. The subject merchandise is defined as non–sealable sacks and bags with handles (including drawstrings), without zippers or integral extruded closures, with or without gussets, with or without printing, of polyethylene film having a thickness no greater than 0.035 inch (0.889 mm) and no less than 0.00035 inch (0.00889 mm), and with no length or width shorter than 6 inches (15.24 cm) or longer than 40 inches (101.6 cm). The depth of the bag may be shorter than 6 inches but not longer than 40 inches (101.6 cm). PRCBs are typically provided without any consumer packaging and free of charge by retail establishments, e.g., grocery, drug, convenience, department, specialty retail, discount stores, and restaurants, to their customers to package and carry their purchased products. The scope of the order excludes (1) polyethylene bags that are not printed with logos or store names and that are closeable with drawstrings made of polyethylene film and (2) polyethylene bags that are packed in consumer packaging with printing that refers to specific end–uses other than packaging and carrying merchandise from retail establishments, e.g., garbage bags, lawn bags, trash–can liners. Imports of the subject merchandise are currently classifiable under statistical category 3923.21.0085 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).1 This subheading may also cover products that are outside the scope of this order. Furthermore, although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written 1 Until July 1, 2005, these products were classifiable under HTSUS 3923.21.0090 (Sacks and bags of polymers of ethylene, other).

PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 description of the scope of this order is dispositive. Background On March 19, 2007, the Department published the Final Results in the Federal Register. On March 20, 2007, we received ministerial error allegations from Crown and High Den, respectively. On March 26, 2007, we received rebuttal comments from the Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bag Committee and its individual members, Hilex Poly Co., LLC and Superbag Corporation, domestic interested parties and petitioners in the underlying investigation. A ministerial error as defined in section 751(h) of the Act (see also 19 CFR 351.224(f)), includes ‘‘errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error which the {Secretary} considers ministerial.’’ After analyzing the comments by interested parties, we have determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act that ministerial errors existed in the calculations for the Final Results with respect to Crown and High Den. For a detailed explanation of these issues, see the memorandum to the file from Laurel LaCivita, Senior Case Analyst, through Charles Riggle, Program Manager, ‘‘Analysis for the Amended Final Results of the 2004–2005 Administrative Review of Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the People’s Republic of China: Crown Polyethylene Products (International) Ltd.,’’ dated April 18, 2007, and memorandum to the file from Laurel LaCivita, Senior Case Analyst, through Charles Riggle, Program Manager, ‘‘Analysis for the Amended Final Results of the 2004– 2005 Administrative Review of Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the People’s Republic of China: High Den Enterprises Ltd. (‘‘High Den’’)’’ dated April 18, 2007. Both memoranda are on file in the Central Records Unit, room B–099 in the main building of the Department of Commerce. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results of the administrative review of PRCBs from the PRC for Crown and High Den. Amended Final Results The revised weighted–average dumping margins for Crown and High Den are detailed in the chart below. E:\FR\FM\09MYN1.SGM 09MYN1
