will issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP within 15
days of publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Rates
For the companies for which this
review is rescinded, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be 6.33 percent, the
‘‘all others’’ rate established in the less–
than-fair–value investigation. See Notice
of Amended Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: IQF Red

responsibility concerning the return or

‘‘quick blanched mushrooms’’; (3) dried
mushrooms; (4) frozen mushrooms; and
(5) ‘‘marinated,’’ ‘‘acidified,’’ or
‘‘pickled’’ mushrooms, which are
prepared or preserved by means of
vinegar or acetic acid, but may contain
oil or other additives.2
The merchandise subject to this order
is classifiable under subheadings:
2003.10.0127, 2003.10.0131,
2003.10.0137, 2003.10.0143,
2003.10.0147, 2003.10.0153 and
0711.51.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.
The products covered by this order
are certain preserved mushrooms,
whether imported whole, sliced, diced,
or as stems and pieces. The certain
preserved mushrooms covered under
this order are the species Agaricus
bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis.
‘‘Certain Preserved Mushrooms’’ refer to
mushrooms that have been prepared or
preserved by cleaning, blanching, and
sometimes slicing or cutting. These
mushrooms are then packed and heated
in containers including, but not limited
to, cans or glass jars in a suitable liquid
medium, including, but not limited to,
water, brine, butter or butter sauce.
Certain preserved mushrooms may be
imported whole, sliced, diced, or as
stems and pieces. Included within the
scope of this order are ‘‘brined’’
mushrooms, which are presalted and
packed in a heavy salt solution to
provisionally preserve them for further
processing.
Excluded from the scope of this order
are the following: (1) All other species
of mushroom, including straw
mushrooms; (2) all fresh and chilled
mushrooms, including ‘‘refrigerated’’ or
Background
On September 14, 2005, the
Department published the final results
of this administrative review in the
Federal Register. See Final Results.
After analyzing all interested parties’
comments, we have determined, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that
ministerial errors existed in the
calculations for the Final Results, with
respect to COFCO. A ministerial error is
defined in Section 751(h) of the Act and
further clarified in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as
‘‘an error in addition, subtraction, or
other arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers
ministerial.’’ For a detailed discussion
of these ministerial errors, as well as the
Department’s analysis, see
memorandum from Christopher D. Riker
to James C. Doyle, Analysis of COFCO
Ministerial Error Allegations, dated
December 21, 2005, on file in the
Central Records Unit, room B–099 in the
main Department building.
Therefore, in accordance with Section
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
we are amending the Final Results of the
administrative review of certain
preserved mushrooms from the PRC for
COFCO. The revised weighted–average
dumping margin is detailed in the chart
below. For the company–specific
calculation see memorandum from
COFCO’s margin in the Amended Final Results
because the U.S. Court of International Trade had
obtained jurisdiction of those results pursuant to
COFCO’s complaint. See China Processed Food
Import & Export Company v. United States, Court
No. 05-00515 (Complaint filed September 19, 2005);
see also, Zenith Elecs. Corp. v. United States, 884
F.2d 556, 561 (Fed. Cir. 1989). However, on
December 14, 2005, the Court granted leave to the
Department to make the necessary corrections to
COFCO’s margin. See China Processed Food Import
& Export Company v. United States, Court No. 0500515 (Order issued December 14, 2005).
2 On June 19, 2000, the Department affirmed that
‘‘marinated,’’ ‘‘acidified,’’ or ‘‘pickled’’ mushrooms
containing less than 0.5 percent acetic acid are
within the scope of the antidumping duty order.
See ‘‘Recommendation Memorandum-Final Ruling
of Request by Tak Fat, et al. for Exclusion of Certain
Marinated, Acidified Mushrooms from the Scope of
the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Preserved
Mushrooms from the People’s Republic of China,’’
dated June 19, 2000. On February 9, 2005, this
decision was upheld by the United States Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit. See Tak Fat v.
United States, 396 F.3d 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2005).
