Certain Preserved Mushrooms From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review
The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is currently conducting a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') covering the period February 1, 2006, through January 31, 2007. We preliminarily determine that the sale made by Ayecue International SLU (``Ayecue International'') of subject merchandise produced by Ayecue (Liaocheng) Foodstuff Co., Ltd. (``Ayecue (Liaocheng)'') (collectively, ``Ayecue'') was not made below normal value (``NV''). If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on entries of subject merchandise during the period of review (``POR'') for any importer- specific assessment rates that are above de minimis.

Fisheries off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Vessel Monitoring System; Open Access Fishery; Correction
This action corrects a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on December 7, 2007, and which becomes effective February 4, 2008.
