Lookout (all located on the High
Cascades Ranger District) will become
available for overnight rental; Squaw
Peak Lookout (on the Siskiyou
Mountains Ranger District) will also
become available for overnight rental.
Although different at each site, the new
amenities range from electricity (Big
Elk) and running water/indoor toilet
(Lodgepole ) to vault toilets, working
fireplaces, horse paddocks, and/or roadaccess improvements. The range of fees
stated here is only proposed, and the
actual fee for each site will be
determined upon further analysis and
public comment. Funds from fees would
be used for the continued operation and
maintenance of these recreation sites.
A financial analysis is being done to
determine the rental fees, but they may
range between $40 and $80 per night.
The Rogue River—Siskiyou National
Forest currently has ten other rental
cabins or lookouts, and they are often
booked up during the recreation season.
The fees would continue to help
preserve these particular structures and
maintain their historic integrity.
New fees would begin after May
2008 and contingent upon completion
of certain improvements. The rentals
would be available once a final decision
is made and they are listed with the
National Recreation Reservation
Service.

Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation.

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On August 15, 2007, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published in the Federal
Register the preliminary results of the
new shipper review of the antidumping
duty order on certain preserved
mushrooms from the People’s Republic
of China (‘‘PRC’’) for Guangxi Jisheng

Preserved Mushrooms From the People’s
Republic of China: Preliminary Results
of the Antidumping Duty New Shipper
Review, 72 FR 45734 (August 15, 2007)
(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). We gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results,
but we did not receive any comment.
Also, we find after reviewing the record
evidence submitted by interested parties
after the Preliminary Results that there
is no other basis to change the
Preliminary Results. Therefore, we made
no changes to the dumping margin
calculations for these final results.
DATES: Effective Dates: December 6,
2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Case History
The Preliminary Results for this administrative review were
published on August 15, 2007. Since the Preliminary Results, the
following events have occurred:
Questionnaires
On August 30, 2007, the Department issued a post-preliminary
results supplemental questionnaire to Jisheng. On September 12, 2007,
Jisheng requested a two-day extension to respond to the Department's
August 30, 2007, supplemental questionnaire. On September 12, 2007, the
Department granted Jisheng an extension of two days to submit its

Scope of the Order
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'' refers to mushrooms that have been prepared or preserved by
cleaning, blanching, and
[[Page 68859]]
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

``marinated,'' ``acidified,'' or ``pickled'' mushrooms, which are
prepared or preserved by means of vinegar or acetic acid, but may
contain oil or other additives.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 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).

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.
Analysis of Comments Received
No interested parties submitted comments for these final results.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
We made no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Review
We find that the following margin exists during the period February
1, 2006, through September 12, 2006:

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends
to issue assessment instructions for Jisheng to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of review. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we will calculate importer-specific (or customer) ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
the dumping margins calculated for the examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales. We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review if
any importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final results
of this review is above de minimis.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these results of the new shipper review for all
shipments of subject merchandise from Jisheng entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date: (1)
For subject merchandise produced and exported by Jisheng, no cash
deposit will be required; (2) for subject merchandise exported by
Jisheng but not manufactured by itself, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the PRC-wide rate (i.e., 198.63 percent); and (3) for
subject merchandise manufactured by Jisheng but exported by any other
party, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the
exporter. These requirements will remain in effect until publication of
the final results of the next administrative review.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
This new shipper review and notice are in accordance with sections
751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.214(h).
