Continuation of Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, the Department hereby orders 

the continuation of the antidumping 

duty orders on carbon steel butt-weld 

pipe fittings from Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, 

Thailand, and the PRC. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

will continue to collect antidumping 

cash deposits at the rates in effect at the 

time of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. The effective date of the 

continuation of the orders will be the 

date of publication of this notice of 

continuation in the Federal Register. 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(2) and 

751(c)(6)(A) of the Act, the Department 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

reviews of these orders not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of continuation. 

These five-year sunset reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

section 751(c) of the Act and is 

published pursuant to section 777(i) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).

Background 

On September 29, 2010, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on 

corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat 

products from the Republic of Korea, 

covering the period August 1, 2009, to 

July 31, 2010. See Initiation of

for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 60076 

(September 29, 2010). The preliminary 

results of this review are currently due 

no later than May 3, 2011. 

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires that the Department make a 

preliminary determination within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order for which a review 

is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act further states that if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period specified, the 

administering authority may extend the 

245-day period to issue its preliminary 

results to up to 365 days. 

We determine that completion of the 

preliminary results of this review within 

the 245-day period is not practicable.

People’s Republic of China: Final

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On December 27, 2010, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published in the Federal 

Register the preliminary results of the 

second administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on laminated 

woven sacks from the People’s Republic 

of China (‘‘PRC’’). See Laminated Woven 

Sacks From the People’s Republic of 

China: Preliminary Results of the 

Second Administrative Review, 75 FR 

81218 (December 27, 2010) 

(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). We gave 

interested parties an opportunity to 

comment on the Preliminary Results. 

Based upon our analysis of the 

comments and information received, no 

changes have been made for the final 

results. We continue to find that the 

PRC-wide entity has sold subject 

merchandise at less than normal value 

during the period of review (‘‘POR’’), 

August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 15, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 29, 2010, the 

Department initiated this review with 

respect to one company. See Initiation 

of Antidumping and Countervailing 

Duty Administrative Reviews and 

Requests for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 

60076 (September 29, 2010). The review 

was initiated with respect to Zibo 

Aifudi Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Aifudi’’) upon the self-request of 

Aifudi and the request of Petitioners.1

On November 3, 2010, Aifudi submitted 

a letter notifying the Department of its 

intent to withdraw and refusal to further 

participate in the ongoing 

administrative review.2 Petitioners did 

not withdraw their request for an 

administrative review of Aifudi. 

Therefore, the Department did not 

rescind the review with respect to 

Aifudi. 

In the Preliminary Results, we set the 

deadline for interested parties to submit 

case briefs and rebuttal briefs to January 

26, 2011, and January 31, 2011, 

respectively. Due to the early closure of 

the Department resulting from 

inclement weather on January 26, 2011, 

AMS 3 filed a case brief on the morning 

of the next business day, January 27, 

2011. Subsequently, the Department 

extended the deadline for rebuttal briefs 

by one day, to February 1, 2011. 

Petitioners filed a rebuttal brief on 

February 1, 2011. The Department did 

not hold a public hearing pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.310(d), as no interested parties 

requested a hearing. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to these 

reviews are addressed in the ‘‘Laminated 

Woven Sacks from the People’s 

Republic of China: Issues and Decision 

Memorandum for the Final Results of 

the Second Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review’’ (‘‘Decision 

Memo’’), which is dated concurrently 

with this notice. A list of the issues 

which parties raised and to which we 

respond in the Decision Memo is 

attached to this notice as an Appendix. 

The Decision Memo is a public 

document and is on file in the Central 

Records Unit, Main Commerce Building, 

Room 7046, and is accessible on the 

Department’s Web site at 

http://www.trade.gov/ia. The paper 

copy and electronic version of the 

memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is laminated woven sacks. Laminated 

woven sacks are bags or sacks consisting 

of one or more plies of fabric consisting 

of woven polypropylene strip and/or 

woven polyethylene strip, regardless of 

the width of the strip; with or without 

an extrusion coating of polypropylene 

and/or polyethylene on one or both 

sides of the fabric; laminated by any 

method either to an exterior ply of 

plastic film such as biaxially-oriented 

polypropylene (‘‘BOPP’’) or to an 

exterior ply of paper that is suitable for 

high quality print graphics; 4 printed 

with three colors or more in register; 

with or without lining; whether or not 

closed on one end; whether or not in 

roll form (including sheets, lay-flat 

tubing, and sleeves); with or without 

handles; with or without special closing 

features; not exceeding one kilogram in 

weight. Laminated woven sacks are 

typically used for retail packaging of 

consumer goods such as pet foods and 

bird seed. 

Effective July 1, 2007, laminated 

woven sacks are classifiable under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 

6305.33.0050 and 6305.33.0080. 

Laminated woven sacks were previously 

classifiable under HTSUS subheading 

6305.33.0020. If entered with plastic 

coating on both sides of the fabric 

consisting of woven polypropylene strip 

and/or woven polyethylene strip, 

laminated woven sacks may be 

classifiable under HTSUS subheadings 

3923.21.0080, 3923.21.0095, and 

3923.29.0000. If entered not closed on 

one end or in roll form (including 

sheets, lay-flat tubing, and sleeves), 

laminated woven sacks may be 

classifiable under other HTSUS 

subheadings including 3917.39.0050, 

3921.90.1100, 3921.90.1500, and 

5903.90.2500. If the polypropylene
