The Department calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the examined sales for that importer. We intend to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of review. See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). The Department clarified its ‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 2003.

Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Background On May 10, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of review and invited parties to comment. See Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from Malaysia: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 26600 (May 10, 2007) (Preliminary Results).

Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to this antidumping duty order is 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 (15.24 cm) 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). This subheading also covers products that are outside the scope of the order. Furthermore, although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Sales Below Cost in the Home Market The Department conducted an investigation to determine whether Euro Plastics made home–market sales at prices below the cost of production. See Preliminary Results, 72 FR at 26601. As a result of its investigation, the Department disregarded certain below– cost home–market sales for the preliminary results.

The Department has incorporated this financial statement into its below–cost analysis and continues to find that Euro Plastics made sales below cost during the period of review. Therefore, in accordance with section 773(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department has disregarded certain below–cost home–market sales for these final results. Changes Since the Preliminary Results For the preliminary results, we used Euro Plastics’s cost data based on its audited 2005 financial statement because its audited 2006 financial statement was not available. Because the period of review covers five months in 2005 and seven months in 2006, we stated our intent to use Euro Plastics’s cost data based on its audited 2006 financial statement once the audited 2006 financial statement became available. See Preliminary Results, 72 FR at 26601–02. On June 4, 2007, Euro Plastics submitted its general and administrative expense rate and net interest expense rate based on its audited 2006 financial statement. See Euro Plastics’s June 4, 2007, supplemental cost information, Exhibits 3 and 4. We used Euro Plastics’s revised cost data to re–calculate its general and administrative expense and net interest expense. In its case brief, Euro Plastics identified two clerical errors. We agree with Euro Plastics that we made two inadvertent computer–code errors in the preliminary antidumping–duty margin calculation for Euro Plastics and have corrected them for the final results. For more details, see the Euro Plastics final analysis memorandum dated August 2, 2007. Final Results of Review As a result of our review, we determine that a margin of 0.00 percent exists for Euro Plastics for the period of review August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006. Assessment Rates The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we will issue importer–specific assessment instructions for entries of subject merchandise during the period of review. The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of review. See also section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.

In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all– others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). Cash–Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of this notice of final results of administrative review for all shipments of PRCBs entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash–deposit rate for Euro Plastics will be 0.00 percent; (2) for previously investigated companies not listed above, the cash–deposit rate will continue to be the company–specific rate published in the Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From Malaysia, 69 FR 34128, 34129 (June 18, 2004) (Final Determination); (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the less–than-fair–value investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash–deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer has its own rate, the cash–deposit rate will be 84.94 percent, the ‘‘all others’’ rate for this proceeding published in the Final Determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The review covers the following three exporters: (1) China Processed Food Import & Export Company (‘‘COFCO’’) and its affiliates China National Cereals, Oils & Foodstuffs Import & Export Corporation, COFCO (Zhangzhou) Food Industrial Co., Ltd. (‘‘COFCO Zhangzhou’’), Fujian Yu Xing Fruits & Vegetable Foodstuff Development Co. (‘‘Yu Xing’’), and Xiamen Jiahua Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd.

(‘‘Primera Harvest’’). The POR is February 1, 2005, through January 31, 2006. On November 6, 2006, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published the preliminary results of this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from the PRC. See Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 64930 (November 6, 2006) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. On November 9, 2006, the COFCO entity requested that the Department extend the deadlines to submit new factual information, publicly available information (‘‘PAI’’), and case and rebuttal briefs, as well as the deadline for the final results. On November 17, 2006, we notified the COFCO entity and the other interested parties in this review that although we did not find it necessary at the time to extend the final results, we would extend the deadline to submit new factual information and PAI until January 26, 2007, and extend the deadlines for submitting case and 2 In the Preliminary Results, we determined it appropriate to treat COFCO and its affiliates, China National, COFCO Zhangzhou, Xiamen Jiahua and Yu Xing, as one entity for margin calculation purposes because they met the regulatory criteria for collapsing.

On January 24, 2007, we notified the COFCO entity and the other interested parties in this review that the Department would provide new deadlines for submitting PAI, case and rebuttal briefs once the Department issued a Federal Register notice postponing the final results. On January 29, 2007, we partially extended the time limit for the final results in this review until August 3, 2007.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to this antidumping duty order is 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 (15.24 cm) 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). This subheading also covers products that 
are outside the scope of the order. Furthermore, although the HTSUS 
subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.

Sales Below Cost in the Home Market

    The Department conducted an investigation to determine whether Euro 
Plastics made home-market sales at prices below the cost of production. 
See Preliminary Results, 72 FR at 26601. As a result of its 
investigation, the Department disregarded certain below-cost home-
market sales for the preliminary results. As discussed below, Euro 
Plastics has submitted a more recent financial statement since we 
published the Preliminary Results. The Department has incorporated this 
financial statement into its below-cost analysis and continues to find 
that Euro Plastics made sales below cost during the period of review. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 773(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), the Department has disregarded certain 
below-cost home-market sales for these final results.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    For the preliminary results, we used Euro Plastics's cost data 
based on its audited 2005 financial statement because its audited 2006 
financial statement was not available. Because the period of review 
covers five months in 2005 and seven months in 2006, we stated our 
intent to use Euro Plastics's cost data based on its audited 2006 
financial statement once the audited 2006 financial statement became 
available. See Preliminary Results, 72 FR at 26601-02. On June 4, 2007, 
Euro Plastics submitted its general and administrative expense rate and 
net interest expense rate based on its audited 2006 financial 
statement. See Euro Plastics's June 4, 2007, supplemental cost 
information, Exhibits 3 and 4. We used Euro Plastics's revised cost 
data to re-calculate its general and administrative expense and net 
interest expense.
    In its case brief, Euro Plastics identified two clerical errors. We 
agree with Euro Plastics that we made two inadvertent computer-code 
errors in the preliminary antidumping-duty margin calculation for Euro 
Plastics and have corrected them for the final results. For more 
details, see the Euro Plastics final analysis memorandum dated August 
2, 2007.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of our review, we determine that a margin of 0.00 
percent exists for Euro Plastics for the period of review August 1, 
2005, through July 31, 2006.

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we will issue 
importer-specific assessment instructions for entries of subject 
merchandise during the period of review. The Department will issue 
appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the final results of review. See also section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This clarification will apply to entries of 
subject merchandise during the period of review produced by Euro 
Plastics for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the 
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full 
discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 
2003).

Cash-Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice of final results of administrative review 
for all shipments of PRCBs entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the publication date of the final results, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash-deposit rate 
for Euro Plastics will be 0.00 percent; (2) for previously investigated 
companies not listed above, the cash-deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published in the Notice of Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Polyethylene Retail 
Carrier Bags From Malaysia, 69 FR 34128, 34129 (June 18, 2004) (Final 
Determination); (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 
review or the less-than-fair-value investigation but the manufacturer 
is, the cash-deposit rate will be the rate established for the most 
recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) if neither 
the exporter nor the manufacturer has its own rate, the cash-deposit 
rate will be 84.94 percent, the ``all others'' rate for this proceeding 
published in the Final Determination. Id. These deposit requirements 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    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.

[[Page 44827]]

Notification Regarding APOs

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
