Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2008 / Notices 5811 

Register. We will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit or the posting of 

a bond equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which the normal value 

exceeds U.S. price, as indicated above. 

For Aifudi, and the companies receiving 

a separate rate, we will direct CBP to 

suspend liquidation of any entries of 

laminated woven sacks from the PRC as 

described in the ‘‘Scope of 

Investigation’’ section, that are entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after 90 days prior 

to the date of publication in the Federal 

Register of our preliminary 

determination. The suspension of 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, we have notified the ITC of our 

preliminary affirmative determination of 

sales at less than fair value. Section 

735(b)(2) of the Act requires the ITC to 

make its final determination as to 

whether the domestic industry in the 

United States is materially injured, or 

threatened with material injury, by 

reason of imports of laminated woven 

sacks, or sales (or the likelihood of 

sales) for importation, of the subject 

merchandise within 45 days of our final 

determination. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration no 

later than seven days after the date the 

final verification report is issued in this 

proceeding and rebuttal briefs limited to 

issues raised in case briefs no later than 

five days after the deadline date for case 

briefs. A list of authorities used and an 

executive summary of issues should 

accompany any briefs submitted to the 

Department. This summary should be 

limited to five pages total, including 

footnotes. Parties are also requested to 

submit an electronic version of their 

case and rebuttal briefs. 

In accordance with section 774 of the 

Act, and if requested, we will hold a 

public hearing, to afford interested 

parties an opportunity to comment on 

arguments raised in case or rebuttal 

briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, 

we intend to hold the hearing three days 

after the deadline of submission of 

rebuttal briefs at the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Ave., 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 

two days before the scheduled date. 

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 

Import Administration, U.S. Department 

of Commerce, Room 1870, within 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, and a list of the 

issues to be discussed. At the hearing, 

each party may make an affirmative 

presentation only on issues raised in 

that party’s case brief and may make 

rebuttal presentations only on 

arguments included in that party’s 

rebuttal brief. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the 

Act, on January 11, 2008, Aifudi 

requested that in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

in this investigation, the Department 

postpone its final determination by 60 

days. At the same time, Aifudi 

requested that the Department extend 

the application of the provisional 

measures prescribed under 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2) from a four month period 

to a six month period. In accordance 

with section 733(d) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b), because (1) our 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative, (2) the requesting exporter 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, we are granting the request and 

are postponing the final determination 

until no later than 135 days after the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. Suspension of liquidation will 

be extended accordingly. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: January 24, 2008. 

David M. Spooner, 

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
