Scope of the Orders

    The merchandise subject to the orders is certain preserved 
mushrooms, whether imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and 
pieces. The preserved mushrooms covered under these orders are the 
species Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. ``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. Preserved mushrooms 
may be imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces. Included 
within the scope of these orders 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 these orders are the following: (1) All 
other species of mushroom, including straw mushrooms; (2) all fresh and 
chilled mushrooms, including ``refrigerated'' 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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ On June 19, 2000, Commerce confirmed that ``marinated,'' 
``acidified,'' or ``pickled'' mushrooms containing less than 0.5 
percent acetic acid are within the scope of the AD order on 
mushrooms from China. 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).

Continuation of the AD Orders

    As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that 
revocation of the AD orders on mushrooms from Chile, India, Indonesia, 
and China would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping, 
and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to

to collect AD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry 
for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the 
continuation of the orders will be the date of publication in the 
Federal Register of this notice of continuation. Pursuant to section 
751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year 
reviews of these orders not later than 30 days prior to the fifth 
anniversary of the effective date of continuation.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return/destruction or conversion to judicial protective 
order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
