Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 87 / Thursday, May 7, 2009 / Notices
raised in any written briefs, not later
than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Extension of the Time Limits for the
Final Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
requires that the Department issue the
final results of an administrative review
within 120 days after the date on which
the preliminary results are published. If
it is not practicable to complete the
review within that time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the deadline for
the final results to a maximum of 180
days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published.
In this proceeding, the Department
requires additional time to complete the
final results of this administrative
review to issue additional supplemental
questionnaires, conduct verifications of
several producers in addition to the
exporters, generate the reports of the
verification findings, and properly
consider the issues raised in case briefs
from interested parties. Thus, it is not
practicable to complete this
administrative review within the
original time limit. Consequently, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the final results of this
review by 60 days, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final
results are now due no later 180 days
after the publication date of these
preliminary results.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by these
reviews. The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review excluding
any reported sales that entered during
the gap period. In accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated
exporter/importer (or customer)-specific
assessment rates for the merchandise
subject to this review. Where the
respondent has reported reliable entered
values, we calculated importer (or
customer)-specific ad valorem rates by
aggregating the dumping margins
calculated for all U.S. sales to each
importer (or customer) and dividing this
amount by the total entered value of the
sales to each importer (or customer). See
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an
importer (or customer)-specific ad
valorem rate is greater than de minimis,
we will apply the assessment rate to the
entered value of the importers’/
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
customers’ entries during the POR. See
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Where we do not have entered values
for all U.S. sales, we calculated a perunit assessment rate by aggregating the
antidumping duties due for all U.S.
sales to each importer (or customer) and
dividing this amount by the total
quantity sold to that importer (or
customer). See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). To
determine whether the duty assessment
rates are de minimis, in accordance with
the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer
(or customer)-specific ad valorem ratios
based on the estimated entered value.
Where an importer (or customer)specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties. See 19
CFR 351.106(c)(2).
For the companies receiving a
separate rate that were not selected for
individual review, we will calculate an
assessment rate based on the simple
average of the cash deposit rates
calculated for the companies selected
for individual review pursuant to
section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.
For those companies for which this
review has been preliminarily
rescinded, the Department intends 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)(2), if the review is
rescinded for these companies. The
Department will issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP
15 days after publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
exporters listed above, the cash deposit
rate will be established in the final
results of this review (except, if the rate
is zero or de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5
percent, no cash deposit will be
required for that company); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
PO 00000
Frm 00020

be the PRC-wide rate of 228.11 percent;
and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the
PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) 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
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: April 30, 2009.

SUMMARY: On April 27, 2009, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published in the Federal
Register the notice of initiation of
antidumping investigation of
polyethylene retail carrier bags
(‘‘PRCBs’’) from the Socialist Republic
of Vietnam (‘‘Vietnam’’). See
Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from
Indonesia, Taiwan and the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Investigations, 74 FR
19049 (April 27, 2009) (‘‘Initiation
Notice’’). We are amending the case
number assigned to the antidumping
investigation of PRCBs from Vietnam
from A–552–804 to A–552–806.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review within 245 days
after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order or finding for which
a review is requested. Consistent with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department may extend the 245-day
period to 365 days if it is not practicable
to complete the review within a 245-day
period.
We determine that completion of the
preliminary results of this review within
the 245-day period is not practicable.
Specifically, we require additional time
to thoroughly consider the responses to
the supplemental questionnaires the
Department has sent to the respondent.
Therefore, we are extending the time
period for issuing the preliminary
results of review by 120 days, in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR § 351.213(h)(2) of
the Department’s regulations. Since a
120-day extension would result in the
deadline for the preliminary results
falling on October 31, 2009, which is a
Saturday, the new deadline for the
preliminary results will be the next
business day, November 2, 2009. See
Notice of Clarification: Application of
‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for
Administrative Determination Deadlines
Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, as
Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
Therefore, the preliminary results are
now due no later than November 2,
2009. The final results continue to be
due 120 days after publication of the
preliminary results.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: May 1, 2009.

Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Amended Initiation of Antidumping
Duty Investigation
Scope of Investigation
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is polyethylene retail
carrier bags (‘‘PRCBs’’), which also 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
PO 00000
Frm 00021

products. The scope of this investigation
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 merchandise included
within the scope of this investigation
are currently classifiable under
statistical category 3923.21.0085 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). This
subheading may also cover products
that are outside the scope of these
investigations. Furthermore, although
the HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
investigation is dispositive.
New Investigation Case Number
The investigation number A–552–804
was inadvertently assigned to the
antidumping investigation of PRCBs
from Vietnam although it was already
used in a prior anticircumvention
proceeding on certain tissue paper from
the People’s Republic of China. See
Certain Tissue Paper From the People’s
Republic of China: Affirmative Final
Determination of Circumvention of the
Antidumping Duty Order, 73 FR 57591
(October 3, 2008). Because case number
A–552–804 has already been assigned to
a different antidumping proceeding, the
Department has assigned a new case
number of A–552–806 to the ongoing
antidumping investigation of PRCBs
from Vietnam. All documents that were
already submitted in the ongoing PRCBs
from Vietnam antidumping
investigation will have their case
numbers modified to reflect the new
case number (i.e., A–552–806) and no
further action is required. All future
documents and submissions should
refer to the new case number. This
notice serves solely to correct the case
number as it was listed in the Initiation
Notice. The Department’s findings in
the Initiation Notice remain unchanged.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 777(i) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended.
Dated: May 1, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 24, 2008, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the

review of the antidumping duty order on carbon
[[Page 21331]]
and certain alloy steel wire rod from Trinidad and Tobago, covering the
period October 1, 2007, to September 30, 2008. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 73 FR 70964
(November 24, 2008). The preliminary results of this review are
currently due no later than July 3, 2009.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results
