SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on honey from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC'') covering the period December 1, 2005, through November 30, 
2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 5005 
(February 2, 2007) (``Initiation Notice'').
    On April 10, 2007, the American Honey Producers Association and the 
Sioux Honey Association (``Petitioners'') withdrew their request for an 
administrative review for the following twenty-two companies: Cheng Du 
Wai Yuan Bee Products Co., Ltd., Chiangmai Healthyproduct Co., Ltd., 
Hangzhou Xinsheng (or Xinyun) Shipping Agency Co., Ltd., Shanghai 
Xinyun International

Transportation Co., Ltd., Apiarist Co., Hangzhou Golden Harvest Health 
Industry Co., Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co., Ltd., Wuhan Bee 
Healthy Co., Ltd., Wuhan Shino-Food Trade Co., Ltd., China Ocean 
Shipping Agency Beijing, Rich Shipping Company, M&H Shipping (Shanghai) 
Corporation, United Logistics Group Inc., Beijing World Trade Co., 
Ltd., Hangzhou Golden Dragon Group Corporation Ltd., Kunshan Xinrui 
Co., Ltd., Qingdao Aolan Trade Co., Ltd., Sichuan-Dujiangyan Dubao Bee 
Industrial Co., Ltd., Eurasia Bee's Products Co., Ltd., Anhui Honghui 
Foodstuff (Group) Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Kanghong Natural Healthfoods Co., 
Ltd., and Tianjin Eulia Honey Co., Ltd. Petitioners were the only party 
to request a review of the entries of subject merchandise exported by 
these companies.

Partial Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within ninety days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.
    Because the Petitioners' withdrawal of requests for review was 
timely and no other party requested a review of the aforementioned 
companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding 
this review with respect to Cheng Du Wai Yuan Bee Products Co., Ltd., 
Chiangmai Healthyproduct Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Xinsheng (or Xinyun) 
Shipping Agency Co., Ltd., Shanghai Xinyun International Transportation 
Co., Ltd., Apiarist Co., Hangzhou Golden Harvest Health Industry Co., 
Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co., Ltd., Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd., 
Wuhan Shino-Food Trade Co., Ltd., China Ocean Shipping Agency Beijing, 
Rich Shipping Company, M&H Shipping (Shanghai) Corporation, United 
Logistics Group Inc., Beijing World Trade Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Golden 
Dragon Group Corporation Ltd., Kunshan Xinrui Co., Ltd., Qingdao Aolan 
Trade Co., Ltd., Sichuan-Dujiangyan Dubao Bee Industrial Co., Ltd., 
Eurasia Bee's Products Co., Ltd., Anhui Honghui Foodstuff (Group) Co., 
Ltd., Jiangsu Kanghong Natural Healthfoods Co., Ltd., and Tianjin Eulia 
Honey Co., Ltd.

Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
those companies for which this review has been rescinded and which have 
a separate rate, antidumping duties shall be assessed 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)(2). The Department will issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of publication 
of this notice. For those companies for which this review has been 
rescinded but do not have a separate rate at this time (and thus remain 
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)(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 the antidumping duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding APOs

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, 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: April 26, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
