review as a result of Solvay’s 

withdrawal of its request for an 

administrative review. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), on August 29, 2008, Solvay 

timely requested an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on granular polytetrafluoroethylene 

resin from Italy. Solvay was the only 

party to request this administrative 

review. On September 30, 2008, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.221 

(c)(1)(i), the Department published its 

notice of initiation of administrative 

review of this order for the period 

August 1, 2007, through July 31, 2008. 

Solvay withdrew its request for this 

review on December 9, 2008. 

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the 

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if the 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. The Secretary may 

extend this time limit if the Secretary 

decides that it is reasonable to do so. 

Solvay withdrew its request within the 

90–day period, and no other party 

requested a review. Therefore, in 

response to Solvay’s withdrawal of its 

request for an administrative review, the 

Department hereby rescinds the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping order on granular’’ 

polytetrafluoroethylene resin from Italy 

for the period August 1, 2007, through 

July 31, 2008. 

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which this review is rescinded, the 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at the time of entry, or withdrawn from 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 notice of 

rescission of administrative review. 

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 

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. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: December 30, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 22, 2008, the 

Department published the notice of 

amended preliminary results of the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on granular 

polytetrafluoroethylene resin from Italy 

covering the period August 1, 2006, 

through July 31, 2007. See Amended 

Notice of Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review: Granular 

Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin From 

Italy, 73 FR 54557 (September 22, 2008) 

(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). 

Statutory Time Limits 

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

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘the Department’’) to issue the final 

results of an administrative review 

within 120 days of the publication of 

the preliminary results. If it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend this deadline to a 

maximum of 180 days. 

Extension of Time Limits for Final 

Results 

The Department requires additional 

time to complete this review because it 

conducted sales and cost verifications 

after the Preliminary Results. The 

Department needs to allow time for 

parties to brief any issues and for the 

Department to consider all the issues 

raised, including complex cost 

accounting issues. Consequently, it is 

not practicable to complete this review 

within the originally anticipated time 

limit (i.e., by January 20, 2009). 

Therefore, the Department is extending 

the time limit for completion of the final 

results by 60 days to March 21, 2009, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the 

Department’s regulations. However, 

March 21, 2009, falls on a Saturday and 

it is the Department’s long–standing 

practice to issue a determination the 

next business day when the statutory 

deadline falls on a weekend, federal 

holiday, or any other day when the 

Department is closed. See Notice of 

Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next 

Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative 

Determination Deadlines Pursuant to 

the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 

FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, 

the deadline for completion of the 

preliminary results is now no later than 

March 23, 2009. 

We are issuing this notice in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act. 

Dated: December 30, 2008.
