SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 9, 2004, Commerce 

published the antidumping duty order 

on polyethylene retail carrier bags from 

Malaysia.1 On August 2, 2023, we 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the Order.2 On 

October 18, 2023, pursuant to section 

751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), Commerce initiated 

an administrative review of the Order 

covering one entity.3 On April 12, 2024, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results until August 30, 

2024.4 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.5 The deadline for the preliminary 

results is now September 6, 2024. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

used for these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.8 Rebuttal

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their briefs that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.11 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

public executive summary of each issue 

to no more than 450 words, not 

including citations. We intend to use 

the public executive summaries as the 

basis of the comment summaries 

included in the issues and decision 

memorandum that will accompany the 

final results in this administrative 

review. We request that interested 

parties include footnotes for relevant 

citations in the public executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).12

16 In these preliminary results, Commerce applied 

the assessment rate calculation method adopted in

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 

Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101

the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number, the number of 

participants, and a list of the issues to 

be discussed. Issues raised in the 

hearing will be limited to those raised 

in the case and rebuttal briefs. If a 

request for a hearing is made, we will 

inform parties of the scheduled date for 

the hearing at a time and location to be 

determined.14 Parties should confirm by 

telephone the date, time, and location of 

the hearing no fewer than two days 

before the scheduled date. Parties are 

reminded that all briefs and hearing 

requests must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS and received 

successfully in their entirety by 5:00 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Unless the deadline is extended 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), 

Commerce will issue the final results of 

this administrative review, including 

the results of our analysis of the issues 

raised by the parties in their case briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. The final results of this review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by this review and 

for future deposits of estimated duties, 

where applicable.15 Commerce intends 

to issue assessment instructions to CBP 

no earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

If the weighted-average dumping 

margin for Euro SME is above de 

minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final 

results of this review, we will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

antidumping duty assessment rates 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the importer’s 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).16 If the 

respondent has not reported entered 

values, we will calculate a per-unit 

assessment rate for each importer by 

dividing the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the examined sales made 

to that importer by the total quantity 

associated with those sales. We will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review when the importerspecific assessment rate calculated in 

the final results of this review is above 

de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent). Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.17

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by the respondent for 

which it did not know that the 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries not reviewed at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.18

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of the final 

results of the administrative review for 

all shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) 

of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for 

Euro SME will be equal to the dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this review, except if the ultimate rate 

is de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the 

cash deposit rates will be zero; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this 

administrative review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the producer or 

exporter participated; (3) if the exporter 

is not a firm covered in this review, a 

prior review, or the original less than 

fair value (LTFV) investigation but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of the 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 84.94 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation of this proceeding.19 These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties, and/or 

increase in the amount of antidumping 

duties by the amount of the 

countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: September 6, 2024.
