SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 1, 2017, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from China for the period of 
review (POR) August 1, 2016, through July 31, 2017.\1\ On August 31, 
2017, the petitioners, the Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bag Committee 
and its individual members, Hilex Poly Co., LLC, and Superbag 
Corporation, requested an administrative review of the order with 
respect to Dongguan Nozawa Plastics Products Co., Ltd. and United Power 
Packaging, Ltd. (collectively, Nozawa), Crown Polyethylene Products 
(International) Ltd (Crown), and High Den Enterprises Ltd. (High 
Den).\2\ On October 16, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), 
we initiated an administrative review of the order on PRCBs from China 
with respect to Nozawa, Crown, and High Den.\3\ On January 5, 2018, the 
petitioners timely withdrew their request for an administrative review 
of Nozawa, and Crown.\4\ On January 12, 2018, the petitioners timely 
withdrew their request of High Den.\5\ No other party requested a 
review.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of 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 the 90-day time 
limit. Because we received no other requests for review of Nozawa, 
Crown, and High Den, and no other requests for the review of the order 
on PRCBs from the China with respect to other companies subject to the 
order, we are rescinding the administrative review of the order in 
full, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

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 or bonding 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 the 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 24, 2018.
