Background

    On October 3, 2011, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of an administrative review of the

[[Page 25685]]

antidumping duty order on polyethylene retail carrier bags from 
Thailand. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 76 FR 
61076 (October 3, 2011). Based on a request for review from the 
Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bag Committee and its individual members, 
Hilex Poly Co., LLC and Superbag Corporation (collectively, the 
petitioners), we initiated a review of Apple Film Company, Ltd., First 
Pack Co. Ltd., Hi-Pak Company, Ltd., K International Packaging Co., 
Ltd., Landblue (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Multibax Public Co., Ltd., Praise 
Home Industry, Co. Ltd., Siam Flexible Industries Co. Ltd., Sombatchai 
Plastic Industry, Ltd., Thai Jirun Co., Ltd., Trinity Pac Co. Ltd., 
T.S.T. Plaspack Co., Ltd., and U. Yong Industry Co., Ltd. Id. No other 
party requested a review.

Rescission of Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department 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 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.'' On October 17, 2011, the petitioners 
withdrew their request for a review of the order with respect to First 
Pack Co. Ltd., K International Packaging Co., Ltd., Landblue (Thailand) 
Co., Ltd., Praise Home Industry, Co. Ltd., Siam Flexible Industries 
Co., Ltd., Thai Jirun Co., Ltd., and U. Yong Industry Co., Ltd. On 
December 23, 2011, the petitioners requested we extend the 90-day time 
limit for the withdrawal of the request for a review. On December 28, 
2011, we extended the time limit for the withdrawal of the request for 
the review until February 29, 2012, based on the extraordinary 
circumstances leading to their request. On February 21, 2012, the 
petitioners withdrew their request for a review of the order with 
respect to Apple Film Company, Ltd., Hi-Pack Company, Ltd., Multibax 
Public Co., Ltd., Sombatchai Plastic Industry, Ltd., Trinity Pac Co. 
Ltd., and T.S.T. Plaspack Co., Ltd. Because we received no other 
requests for review of these companies and the petitioners withdrew 
their request within the extended time limit for the withdrawal of the 
request for a review, we are rescinding the administrative review of 
the order with respect to all companies. This rescission is in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The Department intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection within 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning destruction of proprietary information disclosed under an 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 26, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
