This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

David J. Goldberger or Kate Johnson, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4136 or (202) 482-4929, respectively.
On February 1, 2005, the Department published in the Federal Register (70 FR 5136) a notice of “Opportunity To Request Administrative Review” of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from India for the period February 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005. On February 25, 2005, Agro Dutch Industries, Ltd. (Agro Dutch) requested an administrative review of its sales. On February 27, 2005, the petitioner[1] requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order for the following companies: Agro Dutch, Alpine Biotech Ltd. (Alpine Biotech), Dinesh Agro Products, Ltd. (Dinesh Agro), Flex Foods, Ltd. (Flex Foods), Himalya International, Ltd. (Himalya), Hindustan Lever Limited (Hindustan), KICM (Madras) Ltd. (KICM), Mandeep Mushrooms Ltd. (Mandeep), Premier Mushroom Farms (Premier), Saptarishi ( printed page 40983) Agro Industries Ltd. (Saptarishi Agro), Transchem Ltd. (Transchem), Techtran Agro Industries Limited (Techtran) and Weikfield Agro Products Ltd. (Weikfield). On March 23, 2005, the Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from India with respect to these companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 14643.
On May 6, 2005, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for review with respect to KICM. On June 17, 2005, the petitioner requested that the Department extend the deadline established under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) to withdraw its request for review of other companies until July 5, 2005. On June 21, 2005, we granted this request. On June 29, 2005, the petitioner withdrew its request for review with respect to Alpine Biotech, Dinesh Agro, Flex Foods, Himalya, Hindustan, Mandeep, Premier, Saptarishi Agro, Transchem, Techtran and Weikfield.
Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations stipulates that the Secretary 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, unless the Secretary decides that it is reasonable to extend this time limit. In this case, the petitioner withdrew its request for review of Alpine Biotech, Dinesh Agro, Flex Foods, Himalya, Hindustan, KICM, Mandeep, Premier, Saptarishi Agro, Transchem, Techtran and Weikfield within the extended time limit. Therefore, because the petitioner was the only party to request the administrative review of these companies, we are rescinding, in part, this review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from India as to Alpine Biotech, Dinesh Agro, Flex Foods, Himalya, Hindustan, KICM, Mandeep, Premier, Saptarishi Agro[2] , Transchem, Techtran and Weikfield. This review will continue with respect to Agro Dutch.
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping duties for these rescinded companies shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit 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). The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of publication of this notice.
This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 11, 2005.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

Back to Citation2. On March 25, 2005, Agro Dutch stated that it had purchased the mushroom operations of Saptarishi Agro prior to the current review period. Therefore, any sales made by Saptarishi Agro during the current review period will be examined in the context of the administrative review of Agro Dutch.
