Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 75 FR 30383 (June 1, 2010).
    On June 29, 2010, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received timely requests from Ningbo Dafa Chemical Fiber 
Co., Ltd. (``Ningbo Dafa'') and Cixi Santai Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. 
(``Cixi Santai'') to conduct an administrative review and requests for 
revocation of the associated antidumping duty order, in part, in 
accordance with section 771(9)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act'') and 19 CFR 351.222(b)(2), based on three consecutive 
segments with a finding of de minimis sales at less than normal value. 
The Department also received timely requests from Hangzhou Sanxin Paper 
Co., Ltd. (``Hangzhou Sanxin''), Nantong Luolai Chemical Fiber Co., 
Ltd. (``Nantong Luolai''), NanYang Textiles Co., Ltd. (``NanYang 
Textiles''), Zhaoqing Tifo New Fiber Co., Ltd. (``Zhaoqing Tifo''), 
Cixi Sansheng Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. (``Sansheng''), Zhejiang Waysun 
Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd., and Cixi Waysun Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. for 
an annual administrative review. The Department also received a timely 
request from Fibertex Corporation (``Fibertex''), an importer of PSF 
from the PRC, to conduct an administrative review of Ningbo Dafa, Cixi 
Santai, Zhaoqing Tifo, Sansheng, and Far Eastern Industries Ltd. 
(Shanghai) and Far Eastern Polychem Industries (collectively ``Far 
Eastern'').
    On June 30, 2010, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request from Huvis Sichuan Chemical Fiber 
Corporation (``Huvis Sichuan'') to conduct an administrative review. 
Huvis Sichuan is a producer and exporter of the merchandise covered by 
the antidumping duty order on PSF from the PRC. The Department also 
received a timely request from DAK Americas and Nan Ya America Corp. 
(collectively ``Petitioners'') to conduct an administrative review of 
Ningbo Dafa and Cixi Santai.
    On July 28, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on PSF from the PRC covering eleven respondents: Far 
Eastern; Sansheng; Cixi Santai; Cixi Waysun Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd.; 
Hangzhou Sanxin; Nantong Luolai; NanYang Textiles; Ningbo Dafa Chemical 
Fiber Co., Ltd.; Zhaoqing Tifo; Zhejiang Waysun Chemical Fiber Co., 
Ltd.; and Huvis Sichuan Chemical Fiber Corporation. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocations in Part, 75 FR 44224 (July 28, 2010).
    On August 17, 2010, Nantong Luolai, NanYang Textiles, and Sansheng 
timely withdrew their requests for review. On September 9, 2010, 
Fibertex timely withdrew its request for a review with respect to Far 
Eastern Industries, Ltd. (Shanghai) and Far Eastern Polychem 
Industries. On September 20, 2010, Cixi Waysun Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. 
timely withdrew its request for review. On October 15, 2010, Fibertex 
timely withdrew its request for a review with respect to Sansheng. 
Thus, the Department is rescinding this administrative review with 
respect to these five companies.

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
regulation further states that the Secretary may extend the deadline if 
it is reasonable to do so. Because the following five parties withdrew 
their respective requests for an administrative review within 90 days 
of the date of publication of the notice of initiation, and there are 
currently no outstanding requests for an administrative review, the 
Department is rescinding this review with respect to these entities, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1):
    <bullet> Cixi Sansheng Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. (``Sansheng'').
    <bullet> Cixi Waysun Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd.
    <bullet> Far Eastern Industries, Ltd. (Shanghai) and Far Eastern 
Polychem Industries (``Far Eastern'').
    <bullet> Nantong Luolai Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. (``Nantong 
Luolai'').
    <bullet> NanYang Textiles Co., Ltd. (``NanYang Textiles'').

Assessment Instructions

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
the companies listed above which had a separate rate granted in a 
previously completed segment of this proceeding that was in effect 
during the instant review period, antidumping duties shall be assessed 
on entries subject to the separate rate 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 for such companies directly to CBP 15 days 
after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. For any 
of the companies listed above that do not currently have a separate 
rate (and thus remain a part of the PRC-wide entity), the Department 
will issue assessment instructions upon the completion of this 
administrative review.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
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 Secretary's assumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double 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 return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: November 12, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
