SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 2, 2019, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PRCBs
from China for the period of review (POR) August 1, 2018, through July
31, 2019.\1\ On August 30, 2019, the petitioners \2\ timely requested
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order with respect to
Dongguan Nozawa Plastics Products Co., Ltd. and United Power Packaging,
Ltd. (collectively, Nozawa), and Crown Polyethylene Products
(International) Ltd. (Crown).\3\ Commerce received no other requests
for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. On October
7, 2019, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on PRCBs from China with respect to Nozawa
and Crown (the respondents).\4\ On January 2, 2020, the petitioners
timely withdrew their administrative review request for Nozawa and
Crown.\5\

Committee and its individual members, Hilex Poly Co., LLC and
Superbag Corporation.
\3\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Polyethylene Retail Carrier
Bags from the People's Republic of China: Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated August 30, 2019.
\4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 53411 (October 7, 2019) (Initiation
Notice).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication
of notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioners
withdrew their request for review within 90 days of the publication
date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the
administrative review of the antidumping order on PRCBs from China for
the period August 1, 2018, through July 31, 2019, in its entirety.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of PRCBs from
China during the POR at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: January 17, 2020.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
