SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2009, 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, 2007, through November 30, 
2008. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 5821 
(February 2, 2009).
    On February 23, 2009, the American Honey Producers Association and 
the Sioux Honey Association (collectively ``Petitioners'') timely 
withdrew their request for an administrative review for the following 
33 companies: Alfred L. Wolff (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Anhui Honghui 
Foodstuff (Group) Co., Ltd., Cheng Du Wai Yuan Bee Products Co., Ltd., 
Chengdu Stone Dynasty Art Stone, Eurasia Bee's Products Co., Ltd., 
Fresh Honey Co., Ltd. (formerly Mgl. Yun Shen), Golden Tadco Int'l, 
Hangzhou Golden Harvest Health Industry Co., Ltd., Haoliluck Co., Ltd., 
Hubei Yusun Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Altin Bee-Keeping, Jiangsu 
Kanghong Natural Healthfoods Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Light Industry Products 
Imp & Exp (Group) Corp., Jilin Province Juhui Import, Maersk Logistics 
(China) Company Ltd., Nefelon Limited Company, Ningbo Shengye Electric 
Appliance, Ningbo Shunkang Health Food Co., Ltd., Qingdao Aolan Trade 
Co., Ltd., QHD Sanhai Honey Co., Ltd., Renaissance India Mannite, 
Shaanxi Youthsun Co. Ltd., Shanghai Bloom International Trading Co., 
Ltd., Shanghai Foreign Trade Co., Ltd., Shanghai Hui Ai Mal Tose Co., 
Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co., Ltd., Sichuan-Dujiangyan Dubao Bee 
Industrial Co., Ltd., Silverstream International Co., Ltd., Tianjin 
Eulia Honey Co., Ltd., Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd., Wuhan Shino-Food 
Trade Co., Ltd., Wuhu Qinshi Tangye, and Xinjiang Jinhui Food 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 
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 the 33 aforementioned companies for which Petitioners withdrew their 
request for an administrative review.

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 from a prior segment of this proceeding, 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 15 days after publication of this notice 
for the following companies: Anhui Honghui Foodstuff (Group) Co., Ltd., 
Jiangsu Kanghong Natural Healthfoods Co., Ltd., Shanghai Taiside 
Trading Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd.
    The Department cannot order liquidation for companies which, 
although they are no longer under review as a separate entity, may 
still be under review as part of the PRC-wide entity. Therefore, the 
Department cannot, at this time, order liquidation of entries for the 
following companies: Alfred L. Wolff (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Cheng Du Wai 
Yuan Bee Products Co., Ltd., Chengdu Stone Dynasty Art Stone, Eurasia 
Bee's Products Co., Ltd., Fresh Honey Co., Ltd. (formerly Mgl. Yun 
Shen), Golden Tadco Int'l, Hangzhou Golden Harvest Health Industry Co., 
Ltd., Haoliluck Co., Ltd., Hubei Yusun Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Altin 
Bee-Keeping, Jiangsu Light Industry Products Imp & Exp (Group) Corp., 
Jilin Province Juhui Import, Maersk Logistics (China) Company Ltd., 
Nefelon Limited Company, Ningbo Shengye Electric Appliance, Ningbo 
Shunkang Health Food Co., Ltd., Qingdao Aolan Trade Co., Ltd., QHD 
Sanhai Honey Co., Ltd., Renaissance India Mannite, Shaanxi Youthsun Co. 
Ltd., Shanghai Bloom International Trading Co., Ltd., Shanghai Foreign 
Trade Co., Ltd., Shanghai Hui Ai Mal Tose Co., Ltd., Sichuan-Dujiangyan 
Dubao Bee Industrial Co., Ltd., Silverstream International Co., Ltd., 
Tianjin Eulia Honey Co., Ltd., Wuhan Shino-Food Trade Co., Ltd., Wuhu 
Qinshi Tangye, and Xinjiang Jinhui Food Co., Ltd.

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

[[Page 11088]]

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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 10, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
