The Department will disclose 

calculations performed within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

An interested party may request a 

hearing within thirty days of 

publication. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). Any 

hearing, if requested, will be held 37 

days after the date of publication, or the 

first business day thereafter, unless the 

Department alters the date pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.310(d). Interested parties 

may submit case briefs no later than 30 

days after the date of publication of 

these preliminary results of review. See 

19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, may be filed no later than 35 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. See 19 CFR 351.309(d)(1). Parties 

who submit arguments in these 

proceedings are requested to submit 

with the argument: 1) a statement of the 

issue; 2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and 3) a table of authorities. 

Further, parties submitting written 

comments must provide the Department 

with an additional copy of the public 

version of any such comments on 

diskette. The Department will issue 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of our 

analysis of the issues in any such 

written comments or at a hearing, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results. 

The Department shall determine, and 

CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 

all appropriate entries. Upon 

completion of this administrative 

review, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), 

the Department will calculate an 

assessment rate on all appropriate 

entries. Amtex has reported entered 

values for all of its sales of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. Therefore, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we will calculate 

importer–specific duty assessment rates 

on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales to the 

total entered value of the examined 

sales of that importer. These rates will 

be assessed uniformly on all entries the 

respective importers made during the 

POR if these preliminary results are 

adopted in the final results of review. 

Where the assessment rate is above de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to assess 

duties on all entries of subject 

merchandise by that importer. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a), the 

Department intends to issue appropriate 

appraisement instructions directly to 

CBP on or after 41 days following the 

publication of the final results of 

review. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This 

clarification will apply to entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by the company included in 

these preliminary results that the 

company did not know were destined 

for the United States. In such instances 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the ‘‘all others’’

rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company or companies 

involved in the transaction. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Furthermore, the following cash 

deposit requirements will be effective 

for all shipments of CMC from Mexico 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act: 1) 

the cash deposit rate for Amtex will be 

the rate established in the final results 

of review, unless that rate is less than 

0.50 percent (de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero; 2) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review or the less–thanfair–value (LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and 3) if neither the 

exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm 

covered in this or any previous review 

conducted by the Department, the cash 

deposit rate will be the all–others rate 

of 12.61 percent from the LTFV 

investigation. See Notice of 

Antidumping Duty Orders: Purified 

Carboxymethylcellulose from Finland, 

Mexico, the Netherlands and Sweden, 

70 FR 39734 (July 11, 2005). 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) 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. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act.

Fair Value and Partial Affirmative 

Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, 73 FR 35646 (June 24, 

2008) (‘‘Final Determination’’). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is laminated woven sacks. 

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; 1 printed 

with three colors or more in register; 

with or without lining; whether or not 

closed on one end; whether or not in 

roll form (including sheets, lay-flat 

tubing, and sleeves); with or without 

handles; with or without special closing 

features; not exceeding one kilogram in 

weight. Laminated woven sacks are 

typically used for retail packaging of 

consumer goods such as pet foods and 

bird seed. 

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. If entered with plastic 

coating on both sides of the fabric 

consisting of woven polypropylene strip 

and/or woven polyethylene strip, 

laminated woven sacks may be 

classifiable under HTSUS subheadings 

3923.21.0080, 3923.21.0095, and 

3923.29.0000. If entered not closed on 

one end or in roll form (including 

sheets, lay-flat tubing, and sleeves), 

laminated woven sacks may be 

classifiable under other HTSUS 

subheadings including 3917.39.0050, 

3921.90.1100, 3921.90.1500, and 

5903.90.2500. If the polypropylene 

strips and/or polyethylene strips making 

up the fabric measure more than 5 

millimeters in width, laminated woven 

sacks may be classifiable under other 

HTSUS subheadings including 

4601.99.0500, 4601.99.9000, and 

4602.90.0000. Although HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive. 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

suspension of liquidation instructions 

issued pursuant to an affirmative 

preliminary determination may not 

remain in effect for more than four 

months except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of exporters that 

account for a significant proportion of 

LWS, we extended the four-month 

period to no more than six months. See 

Laminated Woven Sacks From the 

People’s Republic of China: Preliminary 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value, Partial Affirmative 

Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, and Postponement of 

Final Determination, 73 FR 5801, 5811 

(January 31, 2008) (‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’). In this investigation, 

the six-month period beginning on the 

date of the publication of the 

Preliminary Determination, (i.e., January 

31, 2008) ended on July 28, 2008. 

Furthermore, section 737 of the Act 

states that definitive duties are to begin 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final injury determination. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 733(d) of the 

Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to terminate 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate without regard to antidumping 

duties (i.e., release all bonds and refund 

all cash deposits with interest), 

unliquidated entries of LWS from the 

PRC entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption after July 

29, 2008, and before the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Suspension of liquidation will continue 

on or after the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination in the 

Federal Register. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

On July 30, 2008, in accordance with 

section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of lessthan-fair-value imports of subject 

merchandise from the PRC. Therefore, 

in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of 

the Act, the Department will direct CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

the Department, antidumping duties 

equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise for all 

relevant entries of laminated woven 

sacks from the PRC. These antidumping 

duties will be assessed on all 

unliquidated entries of laminated 

woven sacks from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from the warehouse, for 

consumption on or after January 31, 

2008, the date on which the Department 

published its preliminary 

determination. See Preliminary 

Determination. 

The ITC also notified the Department 

that it made a negative critical 

circumstances determination in this 

investigation. Therefore, we will 

instruct CBP to lift suspension, release 

any bond or other security, and refund 

any cash deposit made to secure the 

payment of antidumping duties with 

respect to entries of the merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after November 

2, 2007, but before January 31, 2008 

(i.e., the 90 days prior to the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination). 

Effective on the date of publication of 

the ITC’s final affirmative injury 

determination, CBP will require, at the 

same time as importers would normally 

deposit estimated duties on this 

merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the 

estimated weighted-average 

antidumping duty margins as listed 

below. See section 735(c)(3) of the Act. 

The ‘‘PRC-wide’’ rate applies to all 

exporters of subject merchandise not 

specifically listed. The weightedaverage dumping margins are as follows:

SUMMARY: In response to a request from 

petitioner Aqualon Company, a division 

of Hercules Incorporated (Aqualon), a 

U.S. manufacturer of purified 

carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and CP 

Kelco B.V., CP Kelco U.S. Inc., Huber 

Engineered Materials (HEM) and J.M. 

Huber Corporation (CP Kelco B.V. is a 

producer of CMC in the Netherlands 1

and is referred to as ‘‘CP Kelco’’ for 

purposes of these preliminary results), 

the Department of Commerce (the 

Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on CMC from 

the Netherlands. This administrative 

review covers imports of subject 

merchandise produced and exported by 

CP Kelco (formerly known as Noviant 

B.V.).2 The period of review (POR) is 

July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007. 

We preliminarily determine that sales 

of subject merchandise by CP Kelco 

have been made at less than normal 

value (NV). If these preliminary results 

are adopted in our final results, we will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping 

duties on appropriate entries based on 

the difference between the export price 

(EP) or constructed export price (CEP) 

and NV. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 11, 2005, the Department 

published the antidumping duty order 

on CMC from the Netherlands. See 

Notice of Antidumping Duty Orders: 

Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from 

Finland, Mexico, the Netherlands and 

Sweden, 70 FR 39734 (July 11, 2005) 

(CMC Order). On July 3, 2007, the 

Department published the opportunity 

to request an administrative review of, 

inter alia, CMC from the Netherlands for 

the period July 1, 2006, through June 30, 

2007. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

To Request Administrative Review, 72 

FR 36420 (July 3, 2007). 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), Aqualon, CP Kelco, and 

Akzo Nobel Functional Chemicals B.V. 

(Akzo) requested that the Department 

conduct an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on CMC from 

the Netherlands on July 25, 2007, July 

27, 2007, and July 31, 2007, 

respectively. On August 24, 2007, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register a notice of initiation of this 

antidumping duty administrative review 

covering sales, entries and/or shipments 

of CMC for the period July 1, 2006, 

through June 30, 2007, from CP Kelco 

and Akzo. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Request for 

Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613 (August 

24, 2007). 

On September 6, 2007, the 

Department issued its antidumping duty 

questionnaire to CP Kelco and Akzo. 

Akzo withdrew its request for review on 

October 2, 2007. Petitioner withdrew its 

request for review of sales by Akzo on 

October 3, 2007. 

CP Kelco submitted its section A 

questionnaire response (AQR) on 

October 11, 2007, and its sections B and 

C questionnaire responses on October 

26, 2007 (BCQR). 

On November 14, 2007, Aqualon 

alleged that CP Kelco made home 

market sales of CMC at prices below the 

cost of production (COP) during the 

POR. Also on November 14, 2007, in the 

same submission, Aqualon provided
