not enriched or fortified or containing milk or other optional 
ingredients such as chopped vegetables, vegetable purees, milk, gluten, 
diastases, vitamins, coloring and flavorings, and up to two percent egg 
white. The pasta covered by this scope is typically sold in the retail 
market, in fiberboard or cardboard cartons, or polyethylene or 
polypropylene bags of varying dimensions.

and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise 
subject to the order is dispositive.

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act''), and 19 CFR 351.216, the Department will conduct a 
changed circumstances review upon receipt of information concerning, or 
a request from an interested party for review of, an antidumping duty 
order which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review 
of the order. In its May 22, 2009, submission Pasta Lensi stated that 
petitioners have no interest in the antidumping duty order with respect 
to gluten-free pasta. Further, the petitioners expressed a lack of 
interest in maintain the antidumping duty order with respect to gluten-
free pasta.\5\ No party submitted any evidence to the contrary. 
Therefore, In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(i), we determine

with respect to gluten-free pasta.

part, retroactive to July 1, 2008, (the date following the last day of 
the most recently completed administrative review) for unliquidated 
entries in light of Pasta Lensi's request and the fact that entries 
after this date are not subject to a final determination by the 
Department. Accordingly, the Department will revoke, in part, the 
antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Italy with respect to 
gluten-free pasta, effective July 1, 2008.
