demonstrating that those members of
the board involved in the day-to-day
activities of the company, including the
President, the Business Administration
Division Director, and the Auditor, have
all remained the same;
(3) Saehan shareholder meeting
minutes regarding the name change;
(4) Saehan’s and Woongjin’s business
registration certificate which
demonstrates that despite the name
change, the business registration
number remained the same;
(5) Certificate of corporate registration
that demonstrated the name change
from Saehan to Woongjin;
(6) Announcement to Saehan’s
customers of the name change;
(7) Corporate organizational charts
demonstrating that the organizational
structure remained unchanged despite
the name change;
(8) Organizational charts of the PSF
production and sales divisions
demonstrating that the organizational
structure remained unchanged before
and after the name change;
(9) Woongjin’s Internet Web site
demonstrating that Saehan is now
Woongjin;
(10) A list of suppliers before and
after the name change demonstrating
that Woongjin has maintained Saehan’s
supplier relationships with only some
minor variations (which Woongjin
explains are due to timing changes and
normal business turnover); and
(11) A list of customers before and
after the name change demonstrating
that Woongjin has maintained Saehan’s
customer base with only some minor
variations (which Woongjin explains are
due to timing changes and normal
business turnover).
The documentation described above
demonstrates that there was little or no
change in management structure,
supplier relationships, production
facilities, or customer base. Therefore,
we determine that expedited action is
warranted and we preliminarily find
that Woongjin is the successor-ininterest to Saehan and, thus, should
receive the same antidumping duty
treatment with respect to PSF from
Korea. Because we have concluded that
expedited action is warranted, we are
combining these notices of initiation
and preliminary results.

Background
On October 19, 1993, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on certain helical spring lock washers
(‘‘HSLW’’) from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’), as amended on
November 23, 1993. See Antidumping

Certain Helical Spring Lock Washers
From the People’s Republic of China, 58
FR 61859 (November 23, 1993). On
November 26, 2007, the Department
initiated an administrative review of
Hangzhou Spring Washer Co., Ltd. (also
known as Zhejiang Wanxin Group, Ltd.)
(‘‘HSW’’ or ‘‘Respondent’’). See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 72 FR 65938 (November 26, 2007).
On May 15, 2008, both HSW and
Shakeproof Assembly Components
Division of Illinois Tool Works Inc.
(‘‘Shakeproof’’ or ‘‘Petitioner’’)
requested that the Department exercise
its discretion and extend the deadline
for withdrawal of administrative review
beyond 90 days, thereby allowing both
HSW’s and Shakeproof’s May 15, 2008,
withdrawal requests to be considered
timely.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
HSLWs of carbon steel, of carbon alloy
steel, or of stainless steel, heat–treated
or non–heat-treated, plated or non–
plated, with ends that are off–line.
HSLWs are designed to: (1) Function as
a spring to compensate for developed
looseness between the component parts
of a fastened assembly; (2) distribute the
load over a larger area for screws or
bolts; and (3) provide a hardened
bearing surface. The scope does not
include internal or external tooth
washers, nor does it include spring lock
washers made of other metals, such as
copper.
HSLWs subject to the order are
currently classifiable under subheading
7318.21.0030 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Rescission of Review
Section 351.213(d)(1) of the
Department’s regulations provides 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. Both HSW and
Shakeproof withdrew their requests for
review on May 15, 2008, which is after
the 90-day deadline. Nonetheless, the
Department accepts the withdrawal
requests because it has not yet expended

significant resources on this review.
Therefore, the Department is rescinding
the administrative review of HSW
covering the period October 1, 2006
through September 30, 2007.
The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 15 days
after publication of this rescission
notice. The Department will instruct
CBP to assess antidumping duties 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).
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APO’’) 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
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 777(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March
3, 1972, as amended; Section 204 of the
Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7
U.S.C. 1854).
This notice serves to remind
interested parties that charges against
the limits subject to the U.S. - China
Bilateral Textile Agreement signed on
November 8, 2005 (the Agreement) are
by date of export and not date of entry.
A properly completed electronic visa
(ELVIS) transmission will be required
for all shipments exported prior to
January 1, 2009 that are subject to
Agreement limits, regardless of the date
of entry into the United States.
Shipments exported in 2008 in excess of
agreed limits are in violation of the
terms of the Agreement. Shipments
exported from China on and after
January 1, 2009 will not require an
ELVIS transmission.
The purpose of this notice is to advise
the public that CITA reserves the right
to permanently deny entry to or to stage
entry to goods that have been shipped
in excess of the 2008 limits under the
Agreement. Overshipments of
merchandise subject to the Agreement
shall be subject to delayed and staged
entry, in a manner similar to the
procedures followed for overshipments
of 2005 China textile safeguard limits, as
published in the Federal Register Notice
on December 5, 2005 (70 FR 72427).
Any overshipments of the 2008 limits of
the Agreement shall be subject to the
following procedures:
1. Entry will not be allowed until
one month after the expiration date
of the agreement limit. Therefore
entry will not be allowed until
February 1, 2009.
2. At that time, only 5 percent of the
2008 base limit will be allowed
entry for a one month period
beginning on that date.
3. An additional 5 percent will be
allowed entry monthly until all
overshipments are allowed entry.
CITA will publish a notice and
directive to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) later this year
indicating the categories involved in
staged entry and the 5 percent quantities
to be allowed in monthly beginning
February 1, 2009.

Defense Acquisition Regulations
System
Feasibility of a Reciprocal Defense
Procurement Memorandum of
Understanding With Poland
Defense Acquisition
Regulations System, Department of
Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Request for industry feedback
regarding experience in public
(particularly defense) procurements
conducted by the Republic of Poland.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: DoD is soliciting information
from U.S. industry that has had
experience participating in public
defense procurements conducted by or
on behalf of Poland’s Ministry of
National Defense or Armed Forces. DoD
is considering the possibility of
negotiating a Reciprocal Defense
Procurement Memorandum of
Understanding (RDP MOU) with
Poland. The contemplated MOU would
involve reciprocal waivers of buynational laws by each country. This
would mean that Poland would be
added to the list of ‘‘qualifying
countries’’ in the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS), and that offers of products of
Poland would be exempt from the U.S.
Buy American Act and Balance of
Payments Program policy that would
otherwise require DoD to add 50 percent
to the price of the foreign products
when evaluating offers. This also means
that U.S. products should be exempt
from any analogous ‘‘Buy Polish’’ law or
policy applicable to Poland’s defense
procurements. DoD is interested in
industry comments relating to the
transparency, integrity, and general
fairness of Poland’s public (defense)
procurement processes. DoD is also
interested in comments relating to the
degree of reciprocity that exists between
the United States and Poland when it
comes to the openness of defense
procurements to offers of products of
the other country.
DATES: Comments, which will be treated
in a confidential manner, must be
received by July 16, 2008.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
to: Office of the Director, Defense
Procurement, Acquisition Policy, and
Strategic Sourcing, ATTN: OUSD
(AT&L) DPAP (CPIC), 3060 Defense
Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301–3060;
