This administrative review covers one producer (Jindal) of the subject merchandise. On October 30, 2007, we rescinded the review of MTZ as a result of the withdrawal of its request for review. The preliminary results are currently due no later than April 1, 2008.

The Department preliminarily determines that Lensi made sales at less than normal value (NV) during the 2002– 2003 period of review (POR), that, consequently, Lensi no longer qualifies for revocation based upon three consecutive reviews resulting in de minimis margins, and that the order should be reinstated on certain pasta from Italy related to subject merchandise produced and exported by Lensi. We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by Lensi entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
