SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 19, 1999, the Department published in the Federal 
Register an amended final determination and antidumping duty order on 
certain preserved mushrooms from the PRC. See Notice of Amendment of 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping 
Duty Order: Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People's Republic of 
China, 64 FR 8308 (February 19, 1999). The notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review on certain preserved mushrooms from 
the PRC was published on February 1, 2005. See Notice of opportunity to 
request administrative review of antidumping or countervailing duty 
order, finding, or suspended investigation, 70 FR 5136 (February 1, 
2005).\1\ On August 23, 2005, we received a new shipper review request 
from an exporter Guangxi Eastwing Trading Co., Ltd. (``Guangxi 
Eastwing'') and its supplier Raoping CXF Foods, Inc. (``Raoping CXF'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Therefore, a request for a new shipper review based on the 
semi-annual anniversary month, August, would be due to the 
Department by the last day in August 2005. See 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Tariff act of 1930 
(the ``Act'') and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), Guangxi Eastwing certified 
that it did not export preserved mushrooms to the United States during 
the period of investigation (``POI''). In addition, pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii)(B), Raoping 
CFX, the producer of the mushrooms exported by Guangxi Eastwing, 
provided a certification that it did not export the subject merchandise 
to the United States during the POI. In addition, pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), 
Guangxi Eastwing certified that, since the initiation of the 
investigation, it has never been affiliated with any exporter or 
producer who exported preserved mushrooms to the United States during 
the POI, including those not individually examined during the 
investigation. As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Guangxi 
Eastwing also certified that its export activities were not controlled 
by the central government of the PRC.
    In addition to the certifications described above, Guangxi Eastwing 
submitted documentation establishing the following: (1) the date on 
which it first shipped preserved mushrooms for export to the United 
States; (2) the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the date of its 
first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States.
    The Department conducted customs database queries to substantiate 
that Guangxi Eastwing's shipment of subject merchandise had entered the 
United States for consumption and had been suspended for antidumping 
duties.

Initiation of New Shipper Reviews

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d)(1), we find that the request submitted by Guangxi Eastwing 
meets the threshold requirements for initiation of a new shipper review 
for shipments of preserved mushrooms from the PRC produced by Raoping 
CXF and exported by Guangxi Eastwing.
    The POR is February 1, 2005, through July 31, 2005. See 19 CFR 
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). We intend to issue preliminary results of this 
review no later than 180 days from the date of initiation, and final 
result of this review no later than 270 days from the date of 
initiation. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
    Guangxi Eastwing has certified that it exported, but did not 
produce, the preserved mushrooms on which it based its request for a 
new shipper review. Therefore, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection to allow, at the option of the importer, the posting of a 
bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of preserved 
mushrooms that were produced by Raoping CXF and exported by Guangxi 
Eastwing until the completion of the new shipper review, pursuant to 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act.
    Interested parties that need access to proprietary information in 
this new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
