Trade Adjustment Assistance for 

Farmers 

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of public hearings. 

The Administrator today accepted a 

petition, and began a review of a 

petition, for trade adjustment assistance 

by the Michigan Agricultural 

Cooperative Marketing Association on 

behalf of apple producers in Michigan. 

A public hearing to review the merits of 

the petition will be held in Room 411– 

P of Suite 400, Portals Office Building, 

1250 Maryland Ave., SW., Washington, 

DC 20024 on May 5, 2010, at 11 a.m. 

Eastern Time to receive written and oral 

comments associated with this petition. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Administrator will determine within 40 

days whether or not increasing imports 

of apple juice contributed to a greater 

than 15 percent decrease in the national 

average price of apples compared to the 

average of the 3 preceding marketing 

years. The petition maintains that 

Michigan apple producers have suffered 

primarily due to increased imports of 

apple juice concentrate. Over 81 percent 

of the apple juice consumed in the U.S. 

is from imported concentrate. If a 

determination is affirmative, producers 

who produce and market apples in 

Michigan will be eligible to apply to the 

Farm Service Agency for technical 

assistance and cash benefits. Persons 

who wish to speak at the hearing must 

register with the TAA Coordinator at 

(202) 720–0638 or (202) 690–0633, at 

least 24 hours before the hearing.

and should submit a written summary 

of their remarks for the record.

Antidumping Duty Orders: 

Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from 

Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final

Commerce (the Department) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

the Department is issuing antidumping 

duty orders on polyethylene retail 

carrier bags (PRCBs) from Indonesia, 

Taiwan, and the Socialist Republic of 

Vietnam (Vietnam). On April 26, 2010, 

the ITC notified the Department of its 

affirmative determination of the threat 

of material injury to a U.S. industry. 

Pursuant to section 736(a) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the 

Department of Commerce is issuing the 

antidumping duty orders on PRCBs 

from Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 26, 2010, the Department 

published its affirmative final 

determination of sales at less than fair 

value in the antidumping duty 

investigation of PRCBs from Taiwan. 

See Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags 

from Taiwan: Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 75 FR 

14569 (March 26, 2010). On April 1, 

2010, the Department published its 

affirmative final determinations of sales 

at less than fair value in the 

antidumping duty investigations of 

PRCBs from Indonesia and Vietnam. See

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

23668 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 4, 2010 / Notices 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(d) of the Act, that an industry in the 

United States is threatened with 

material injury by reason of less–thanfair–value imports of PRCBs from 

Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam. See 

section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act and 

Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from 

Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam, 

Investigation Nos. 701–TA–462 and 

731–TA–1156–1158 (Final), USITC 

Publication 4144 (April 2010). 

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise subject to these 

antidumping duty orders are PRCBs, 

which also may be referred to as t–shirt 

sacks, merchandise bags, grocery bags, 

or checkout bags. The subject 

merchandise is defined as non–sealable 

sacks and bags with handles (including 

drawstrings), without zippers or integral 

extruded closures, with or without 

gussets, with or without printing, of 

polyethylene film having a thickness no 

greater than 0.035 inch (0.889 mm) and 

no less than 0.00035 inch (0.00889 mm), 

and with no length or width shorter 

than 6 inches (15.24 cm) or longer than 

40 inches (101.6 cm). The depth of the 

bag may be shorter than 6 inches (15.24 

cm) but not longer than 40 inches (101.6 

cm). 

PRCBs are typically provided without 

any consumer packaging and free of 

charge by retail establishments, e.g., 

grocery, drug, convenience, department, 

specialty retail, discount stores, and 

restaurants to their customers to 

package and carry their purchased 

products. The scope of these 

antidumping duty orders exclude (1) 

polyethylene bags that are not printed 

with logos or store names and that are 

closeable with drawstrings made of 

polyethylene film and (2) polyethylene 

bags that are packed in consumer 

packaging with printing that refers to 

specific end–uses other than packaging 

and carrying merchandise from retail 

establishments, e.g., garbage bags, lawn 

bags, trash–can liners. 

Imports of merchandise included 

within the scope of these antidumping 

duty orders are currently classifiable 

under statistical category 3923.21.0085 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS). This 

subheading may also cover products 

that are outside the scope of these 

antidumping duty orders. Although the 

HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of these 

antidumping duty orders is dispositive. 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

On April 26, 2010, in accordance with 

section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination that an industry in the 

United States is threatened with 

material injury within the meaning of 

section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act by 

reason of less–than-fair–value imports 

of PRCBs from Indonesia, Taiwan, and 

Vietnam. 

In accordance with section 736(a)(1) 

of the Act, the Department will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to assess, upon further instruction 

by the Department, antidumping duties 

equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds U.S. price of the merchandise 

for all relevant entries of PRCBs from 

Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam. 

Pursuant to section 736(b)(2) of the 

Act, duties shall be assessed on subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the ITC’s 

notice of final determination if that 

determination is based on the threat of 

material injury, other than threat of 

material injury described in section 

736(b)(1) of the Act. Section 736(b)(1) 

states that, ‘‘{i}f the Commission, in its 

final determination under section 

735(b), finds material injury or threat of 

material injury which, but for the 

suspension of liquidation under section 

733(d)(2) would have led to a finding of 

material injury, then entries of the 

subject merchandise, the liquidation of 

which has been suspended under 

section 733(d)(2), shall be subject to the 

imposition of antidumping duties under 

section 731.’’ In addition, section 

736(b)(2) of the Act requires CBP to 

release any bond or other security and 

refund any cash deposit made of 

estimated antidumping duties posted 

since the Department’s preliminary 

antidumping duty determinations. 

Because the ITC’s final determination 

is based on the threat of material injury 

and is not accompanied by a finding 

that injury would have resulted but for 

the imposition of suspension of 

liquidation of entries since the 

Department’s preliminary 

determinations, section 736(b)(2) of the 

Act is applicable. According to section 

736(b)(2) of the Act, where the ITC finds 

threat of material injury, duties shall 

only be assessed on subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination. In addition, section 

736(b)(2) of the Act requires CBP to 

refund any cash deposits or bonds of 

estimated antidumping duties posted 

since the preliminary antidumping 

determinations and prior to the ITC’s 

notice of final determination. 

Therefore, on or after the date of 

publication of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

CBP will require, pursuant to section 

736(a)(3) of the Act, at the same time as 

importers would normally deposit 

estimated duties on this merchandise, a 

cash deposit equal to the estimated 

dumping margins listed below. The all– 

others rates for Indonesia and Taiwan 

apply to all Indonesian and Taiwanese 

producers or exporters not specifically 

listed. The Vietnam–wide rate applies to 

all Vietnamese exporters of subject 

merchandise not specifically listed. 

The antidumping duty margins and 

cash–deposit rates are as follows:
