15:09 Aug 07, 2009
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a 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 doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
notification of the destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this
rescission in accordance with section
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: August 3, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.

BILLING CODE 3510–DS–S
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), the Department will
rescind an administrative review ‘‘if a
party that requested the review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
Secretary may extend this time limit if
the Secretary decides that it is
reasonable to do so.’’ Although we did
not receive Benex’s withdrawal letter
within the 90–day time limit, we
VerDate Nov<24>2008
determine that it is reasonable to accept
this letter of withdrawal because we
have not expended significant resources
in the conduct of this review and
because we received no other requests
for the review of Benex. Accordingly,
the Department is rescinding this review
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The
Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection 15 days after the
date of publication of this notice.

36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301), the
Department of Commerce determines
whether instruments of equivalent
scientific value, for the purposes for
which the instruments shown below are
intended to be used, are being
manufactured in the United States.
Applications may be examined
between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in Room

Docket Number: 09–041. Applicant:
State University of New York College at
Geneseo, Erwin Hall 218, 1 College
Circle, Geneseo, NY 14454. Instrument:
4.5 Model Astrodome. Manufacturer:
Astro Dome, Australia. Intended Use:
The instrument will be used to house a
telescope and CCD. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs
and Border Protection: June 26, 2008.
The Department of Commerce
received the Rice University application
from Customs and Border Protection on
July 13, 2009. The application was
reviewed and the Department
determined that the application did not
have sufficient information for the
Department to determine whether an
equivalent instrument was being
produced in the United States. In
accordance with section 301.5(a)(2), the
Department contacted the University to
afford them an opportunity to
supplement the application by
providing further information regarding
the purpose of the instrument and
whether an equivalent instrument was
being produced in the United States.
The State University of New York
College at Geneseo then informed the
Department that they had discovered
that cost and design features were the
determining factors in selecting the
instrument. The University decided to
withdraw the application for the Model
Astrodome since they had been made
aware that neither of these factors could
be considered a pertinent specification
in the comparison of instruments, in
accordance with section 301.2(s).
Therefore, the Department of
Commerce had discontinued the
processing of this application, in
accordance with section 301.5(g) of the
regulations. See 15 CFR 301.5(g).
