For these reasons, the Department is rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene retail carrier bags from the PRC with respect to Shanghai Yafu Plastic Industry Co., Ltd. in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Dated: February 5, 2008. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc. E8–2568 Filed 2–11–04; 8:45 am] Rescission of Review Pursuant to 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 the notice of initiation. In this case, five of the six companies listed above withdrew their requests for administrative review of their POR exports of polyethylene retail carrier bags within 90 days from the date of initiation. No other interested party requested a review of these companies. Therefore, the Department is rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene retail carrier bags from the PRC with respect to Sea Lake Polyethylene Enterprises, Ltd., Shanghai Glopack, Inc., Everfaith International (Shanghai) Ltd., Shanghai Hua Yue Packaging Products, and Crown Polyethylene Products (Int’l) Ltd., in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Asia Dynamics Inc. withdrew its request for administrative review of its POR imports of polyethylene retail carrier bags produced and exported by Shanghai Yafu Plastic Industry Co., Ltd. after 90 days from the date of initiation. However, according to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) the Secretary may extend the time limit of 90 days if the Secretary decides that it is reasonable to do so. Although Asia Dynamics Inc., withdrew its request after the 90–day deadline, we find it reasonable to accept the withdrawal request because, on November 16, 2007, the Department issued a final scope ruling where it determined that plastic bags called ‘‘Personal Belongings’’ bags imported by Asia Dynamics Inc. from Shanghai Yafu Plastics Industry Co., Ltd. are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order covering polyethylene retail carrier bags from the PRC. See Memorandum from Abdelali Elouaradia, Office Director, to Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Security, titled ‘‘Final Scope Ruling for Asia Dynamics, Inc., and Medline Industries, Inc.’’ dated November 16, 2007. As a result of this final scope ruling, the Department issued liquidation instructions directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to liquidate all entries of ‘‘Personal Assessment DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department will instruct ‘‘CBP’’ to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries for Sea Lake Polyethylene Enterprises, Ltd., Shanghai Glopack, Inc., Everfaith International (Shanghai) Ltd., Shanghai Hua Yue Packaging Products, Shanghai Yafu Plastics Industry Co., Ltd., and Crown Polyethylene Products (Int’l) Ltd. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
