Background On July 1, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department), published in the Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request an Administrative Review’’ of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film sheet VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:26 Dec 03, 2009 Jkt 220001 and strip (PET Film) from India. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 74 FR 31406 (July 1, 2009). On July 31, 2009, Jindal Poly Films Limited (Jindal), an Indian producer and exporter of PET Film to the United States, timely requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of Jindal. Jindal was the only party to request this administrative review. On August 25, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review of PET Film from India for the period of review, July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 42873 (August 25, 2009). Jindal withdrew its request for an administrative review on September 18, 2009. Rescission of Administrative Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary 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 of the requested review. Jindal withdrew its request before the 90-day deadline and no other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PET Film from India. Therefore, in response to Jindal’s withdrawal of its request for an administrative review pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department hereby rescinds the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PET Film from India. Assessment The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the company for which this review is rescinded, the antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from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 to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this rescission of administrative review in the Federal Register. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to administrative protection orders (‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation.

The review covers one exporter. The period of review is August 1, 2007, through July 31, 2008. We invited interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EFFECTIVE DATE: Background On July 29, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from the People’s Republic of China (PRC). See Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 37694 (July 29, 2009) (Preliminary Results). The administrative review covers Zongshan Rally Plastics Co., Ltd., and Rally Plastics Co., Ltd. (collectively Rally). We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. On August 31, 2009, we received case briefs from the Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bag Committee and its individual members, Hilex Poly Co., LLC, and Superbag Corporation (collectively, the petitioners), and Rally. On September 3, 2009, we received a rebuttal brief from Rally. Although Rally requested on August 28, 2009, that the Department hold a hearing, it withdrew its request for a hearing on September 4, 2009; therefore, we did not conduct a hearing. We have conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the antidumping duty order is PRCBs, which 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 VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:26 Dec 03, 2009 Jkt 220001 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 products. The scope of the order 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 the subject merchandise are currently classifiable under statistical category 3923.21.0085 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).1 This subheading may also cover products that are outside the scope of the order. Furthermore, although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. Separate Rates In proceedings involving non–marketeconomy (NME) countries, the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the Department’s policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to review in an NME country this single rate unless an exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to be entitled to a separate rate. In the Preliminary Results, we treated the PRC as an NME country and found that Rally demonstrated its eligibility for separate–rate status. We received no comments from interested parties regarding the separate–rate status of Rally. Therefore, for these final results of review, we continue to find that the evidence placed on the record of this review by Rally demonstrates an absence of government control, both in law and in fact, with respect to its exports of the subject merchandise. 1 Until July 1, 2005, these products were classifiable under HTSUS 3923.21.0090 (Sacks and bags of polymers of ethylene, other). See Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (2005) – Supplement 1 Annotated for Statistical Reporting Purposes Change Record – 17th Edition – Supplement 1, available at https:// hotdocs.usitc.gov/docs/tata/hts/bychapter/0510/ 0510chgs.pdf. PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 63719 Thus, we have determined that Rally is eligible to receive a separate rate. Surrogate Country In the Preliminary Results, we treated the PRC as an NME country and, therefore, we calculated normal value in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. Also, we stated that we selected India as the appropriate surrogate country to use in this review because it is a significant producer of merchandise comparable to subject merchandise and it is at a level of economic development comparable to the PRC, pursuant to section 773(c)(4) of the Act. See Preliminary Results, 74 FR at 37694. No interested party commented on our designation of the PRC as an NME country nor the selection of India as the surrogate country. Therefore, we have continued to treat the PRC as an NME country and have used the same surrogate country, India, for these final results of review. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum from John M. Andersen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated concurrently with this notice (Decision Memo), which is hereby adopted by this notice. The issue which parties have raised and to which we have responded in the Decision Memo relates to the valuation of NME purchases of a factor of production, calcium carbonate. Parties can find a complete discussion of the issue raised in this review and the corresponding recommendation in this public memorandum, which is on file in the Central Records Unit, main Department of Commerce building, Room 1117, and is accessible on the Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy and electronic version of the Decision Memo are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of comments received, we have made several changes in our margin calculations. Specifically, we have changed our selection of the surrogate value for the valuation of calcium carbonate. See Decision Memo and Analysis Memorandum dated concurrently with this notice. Additionally, we have corrected undisputed clerical errors in our calculations. See Analysis Memorandum.

Assessment Rates The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the date of publication of these final results of administrative review. In calculating importer–specific assessment rates, we divided the total dumping margins (calculated as the difference between normal value and export price) for each of Rally’s importers or customers by the total number of units the exporter sold to that importer or customer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 29, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of review of the antidumping duty 
order on polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from the People's 
Republic of China (PRC). See Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 74 FR 37694 (July 29, 2009) (Preliminary 
Results). The administrative review covers Zongshan Rally Plastics Co., 
Ltd., and Rally Plastics Co., Ltd. (collectively Rally).
    We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. On August 
31, 2009, we received case briefs from the Polyethylene Retail Carrier 
Bag Committee and its individual members, Hilex Poly Co., LLC, and 
Superbag Corporation (collectively, the petitioners), and Rally. On 
September 3, 2009, we received a rebuttal brief from Rally. Although 
Rally requested on August 28, 2009, that the Department hold a hearing, 
it withdrew its request for a hearing on September 4, 2009; therefore, 
we did not conduct a hearing.
    We have conducted this administrative review in accordance with 
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the antidumping duty order is PRCBs, 
which 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 
products. The scope of the order 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 the subject merchandise are currently classifiable under 
statistical category 3923.21.0085 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 
the United States (HTSUS).\1\ This subheading may also cover products 
that are outside the scope of the order. Furthermore, although the 
HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description of the scope of the order is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Until July 1, 2005, these products were classifiable under 
HTSUS 3923.21.0090 (Sacks and bags of polymers of ethylene, other). 
See Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (2005) - 
Supplement 1 Annotated for Statistical Reporting Purposes Change 
Record - 17th Edition - Supplement 1, available at https://hotdocs.usitc.gov/docs/tata/hts/bychapter/0510/0510chgs.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    In proceedings involving non-market-economy (NME) countries, the 
Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies 
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should 
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the 
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to 
review in an NME country this single rate unless an exporter can 
demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to be entitled to 
a separate rate.
    In the Preliminary Results, we treated the PRC as an NME country 
and found that Rally demonstrated its eligibility for separate-rate 
status. We received no comments from interested parties regarding the 
separate-rate status of Rally. Therefore, for these final results of 
review, we continue to find that the evidence placed on the record of 
this review by Rally demonstrates an absence of government control, 
both in law and in fact, with respect to its exports of the subject 
merchandise. Thus, we have determined that Rally is eligible to receive 
a separate rate.

Surrogate Country

    In the Preliminary Results, we treated the PRC as an NME country 
and, therefore, we calculated normal value in accordance with section 
773(c) of the Act. Also, we stated that we selected India as the 
appropriate surrogate country to use in this review because it is a 
significant producer of merchandise comparable to subject merchandise 
and it is at a level of economic development comparable to the PRC, 
pursuant to section 773(c)(4) of the Act. See Preliminary Results, 74 
FR at 37694. No interested party commented on our designation of the 
PRC as an NME country nor the selection of India as the surrogate 
country. Therefore, we have continued to treat the PRC as an NME 
country and have used the same surrogate country, India, for these 
final results of review.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 
this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum from 
John M. Andersen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated concurrently with 
this notice (Decision Memo), which is hereby adopted by this notice. 
The issue which parties have raised and to which we have responded in 
the Decision Memo relates to the valuation of NME purchases of a factor 
of production, calcium carbonate. Parties can find a complete 
discussion of the issue raised in this review and the corresponding 
recommendation in this public memorandum, which is on file in the 
Central Records Unit, main Department of Commerce building, Room 1117, 
and is accessible on the Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper 
copy and electronic version of the Decision Memo are identical in 
content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of comments received, we have made several 
changes in our margin calculations. Specifically, we have changed our 
selection of the surrogate value for the valuation of calcium 
carbonate. See Decision Memo and Analysis Memorandum dated concurrently 
with this notice. Additionally, we have corrected undisputed clerical 
errors in our calculations. See Analysis Memorandum.

[[Page 63720]]

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of our review, we determine that a final weighted-
average dumping margin of 17.92 percent exists for Rally for the period 
August 1, 2007, through July 31, 2008.

Assessment Rates

    The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the date of 
publication of these final results of administrative review. In 
calculating importer-specific assessment rates, we divided the total 
dumping margins (calculated as the difference between normal value and 
export price) for each of Rally's importers or customers by the total 
number of units the exporter sold to that importer or customer. We will 
direct CBP to assess the resulting per-unit dollar amount against each 
unit of merchandise in each of that importer's/customer's entries 
during the review period.

Cash-Deposit Requirements

    The following cash-deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice of final results of administrative review 
for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of the publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise 
exported by Rally, the cash deposit rate will be 17.92 percent; (2) for 
previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above that 
have separate rates, the cash-deposit rate will continue to be the 
company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all 
other PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to 
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash-deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 77.57 percent; (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject 
merchandise the cash-deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the 
PRC exporter that supplied that exporter. These deposit requirements 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final 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. See id.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
