SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 3, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the countervailing duty order on Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) 
Film, Sheet, and Strip from India. See Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 72 FR 36420 (July 3, 2006). On July 30, 2006, 
MTZ Polyfilms, Ltd. (MTZ) and Jindal Poly Films Limited of India 
(Jindal) timely requested that the Department conduct an administrative 
review of merchandise MTZ and Jindal produced and exported.
    The Department published a notice of the initiation of the 
countervailing duty administrative review of PET Film from India for 
MTZ and Jindal for the period January 1, 2006 through December 31, 
2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613 
(August 24, 2007). On October 3, 2007, Jindal withdrew its request for 
an administrative review.

Partial Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at section 351.213(d)(1) provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review, or withdraws its request at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. Jindal submitted its request within the 90 day 
limit set by the regulations. Since no other parties requested a review 
of Jindal, the Department is rescinding the administrative review of 
the countervailing duty order on PET film, sheet and strip from India 
for the period January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, for Jindal. 
MTZ remains subject to this administrative review. The preliminary 
results for the administrative review of MTZ are currently due July 30, 
2008.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 
Jindal shall be assessed countervailing duties at rates equal to the 
cash deposit of the estimated countervailing 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 will issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review.

Cash Deposit Rates

    Jindal's cash deposit rate continues to be the rate established in 
the final result of the last administrative review for Jindal. This 
cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect until publication of 
the final results of the next administrative review for Jindal.

Notification Regarding APOs

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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 violation that is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 2, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
