 SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset review, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the levels indicated in the “Final Results of Review” section of this notice.
 DATES: Applicable August 10, 2021.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Alexander, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4313.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 4, 2010, Commerce published its CVD order on PRCBs from Vietnam in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    .[1]
                    
                     On March 31, 2021, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the second sunset review of the 
                    *Order,*
                     pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2]
                    
                     Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from the Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bag Committee (the Committee), an 
                    *ad hoc*
                     association of U.S. producers of PRCBs, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[3]
                    
                     The Committee 
                    ( print page 43627)
                    claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(E) of the Act, as a trade or business association a majority of whose members manufacture, produce, or wholesale a domestic like product in the United States and stated that each member of the Committee is a manufacturer of the domestic like product and thus, is a domestic interested party pursuant to section 771(9)(C) of the Act.[4] Commerce received a substantive response from the Committee [5]
                    
                     within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive responses from the Government of Vietnam or any other domestic or interested parties in this proceeding, nor was a hearing requested. On May 21, 2021, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.[6]
                    
                     As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 
                    *Order.* Scope of the Order The scope of this 
                    *Order*
                     covers PRCBs. Imports of merchandise included within the scope of this 
                    *Order*
                     are currently classifiable under statistical category 3923.21.0085 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. For a complete description of the scope of the 
                    *Order, see*
