SUMMARY: In response to a request from 

the Laminated Woven Sacks Committee 

(‘‘Petitioner’’), the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) initiated 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty Order on laminated 

woven sacks from the People’s Republic 

of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 The administrative 

review covers nine 2 companies for the 

period of review (‘‘POR’’) August 1, 

2013, through July 31, 2014. We invite 

interested parties to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: January 28, 2015.

482–6905. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 30, 2014, the Department 

initiated an administrative review of the 

Order on laminated woven sacks from 

the PRC covering nine PRC firms for the 

POR.3

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order 4 is laminated woven sacks.5

Laminated woven sacks are bags or 

sacks consisting of one or more plies of 

fabric consisting of woven 

polypropylene strip and/or woven 

polyethylene strip, regardless of the 

width of the strip; with or without an 

extrusion coating of polypropylene and/ 

or polyethylene on one or both sides of 

the fabric; laminated by any method 

either to an exterior ply of plastic film 

such as biaxially-oriented 

polypropylene (‘‘BOPP’’) or to an 

exterior ply of paper that is suitable for 

high quality print graphics. Effective 

July 1, 2007, laminated woven sacks are 

classifiable under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 6305.33.0050 

and 6305.33.0080. Laminated woven 

sacks were previously classifiable under 

HTSUS subheading 6305.33.0020.6 The 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes 

only; the written product description of 

the scope of the order is dispositive. 

Methodology 

The Department has conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’). For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

which is hereby adopted by this notice. 

The Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS).7

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov and in the 

Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the 

main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, parties can obtain 

a complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum on the Internet 

at http://trade.gov/enforcement/frn/

index.html. The signed Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum and the 

electronic versions of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Background 

The Initiation Notice states that ‘‘{i}f 

a producer or exporter named in this 

notice of initiation had no exports, 

sales, or entries during the period of 

review . . . it must notify the 

Department within 60 days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register.’’ 8 None of the nine companies 

initiated for review filed ‘‘no shipment’’ 

certifications. The Initiation Notice also 

notifies the firms initiated for review 

that they ‘‘must complete, as 

appropriate, either a separate rate 

application or certification’’ if they want 

to qualify for a separate rate in this 

administrative review.9 None of the 

nine companies initiated for review 

filed separate rate certifications or 

applications. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Because none of the nine companies 

initiated for review provided the 

Department with either a ‘‘no shipment’’ 

certification or separate rate eligibility 

documentation, we preliminarily find 

these nine companies to be part of the 

PRC-wide entity.10 The rate previously 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

non-market economy entity will not be under 

review unless a party specifically requests, or the 

Department self-initiates, a review of the entity. 

Because no party requested a review of the entity, 

the entity is not under review and the entity’s rate 

is not subject to change.

Public Comment 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results 

and submit written arguments or case 

briefs within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless 

otherwise notified by the Department 

(see 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii)). Parties are 

reminded that they should not submit 

new factual information in written 

arguments or case briefs. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, will be due five days later (see 19 

CFR 351.309(d)). Parties who submit 

case or rebuttal briefs are requested to 

submit with each argument: (1) A 

statement of the issue; and (2) a brief 

summary of the argument. Parties are 

also requested to provide a summary of 

the arguments not to exceed five pages 

and a table of statutes, regulations, and 

cases cited (see 19 CFR 351.309).12

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing, or to participate if one is 

requested, must submit a written 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, filed 

electronically using ACCESS (see 19 

CFR 351.310(c)). An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by the Department’s 

electronic records system, ACCESS, by 

5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, within 

30 days after the date of publication of 

this notice. Requests should contain the 

party’s name, address, and telephone 

number, the number of participants, and 

a list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, the 

Department will inform parties of the 

scheduled date for the hearing which 

will be held at the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230, at 

a time and location to be determined. 

Parties should confirm by telephone the 

date, time, and location of the hearing. 

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of our 

analysis of issues raised in the written 

comments, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register (see section 

751(a)(3)(A) and the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(1)). 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review (see 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1)). The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

review. For the final results, if we 

continue to treat the nine companies 

upon which the review was initiated as 

part of the PRC-wide entity, we will 

instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 

assessment rate of 47.64 percent to all 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR which were produced and/or 

exported by those companies. 

The Department announced a 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) cases.13

Pursuant to this refinement in practice, 

for entries that were not reported by 

companies examined during this 

review, the Department will instruct 

CBP to liquidate such entries at the 

NME-wide rate. In addition, if the 

Department determines that an exporter 

under review had no shipments of the 

subject merchandise, any suspended 

entries that entered under that 

exporter’s case number (i.e., at that 

exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the 

NME-wide rate.14

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for shipments of 

the subject merchandise from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by 

sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters that received a 

separate rate in a prior segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (2) for all PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate 

(including those companies identified 

above upon which this review was 

initiated), the cash deposit rate will be 

that for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for 

all non-PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter that supplied that non-PRC 

exporter. These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to the 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. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: January 22, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance.
