Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 11, 2019 / Notices
laminated woven sacks from China,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On
February 19, 2019, Commerce received
a notice of intent to participate from the
Laminated Woven Sacks Fair Trade
Coalition and its individual members,
Polytex Fibers Corporation and
ProAmpac Holdings, Inc. (collectively,
the domestic interested parties), within
the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The domestic
interested parties claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(C) of
the Act, as a manufacturer of a domestic
like product in the United States, and
under section 771(9)(E) and (F) of the
Act as a trade association whose
members are producers of a domestic
like product in the United States.
On March 7, 2019, we received a
complete substantive response from
domestic interested parties within the
30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).4 We received no
substantive responses from respondent
interested parties with respect to the
Order covered by this sunset review, nor
was a hearing requested. Commerce
received no comments on the adequacy
of responses in this sunset review.
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2),
Commerce is conducting an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of this order.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order
is laminated woven sacks. For a
complete description of the scope of the
Order, see the accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum.5
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review,
including the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping in the event
of revocation and the magnitude of the
margins of dumping likely to prevail if
the Order were revoked, are listed in the
Appendix to this notice, and addressed
in the accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://access.trade
.gov, and to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The
signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Sunset Reviews
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and
752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we
determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty Order on laminated
woven sacks from China would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and that the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail would be
weighted-average dumping margins up
to 91.73 percent.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
Timely written notification of the return
or 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.
We are issuing and publishing these
results and notice in accordance with
sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218.
