International Trade Administration August 14, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On April 8, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published the preliminary results of the 2007-2008 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See Glycine from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 15930 (April 8, 2009) (``Preliminary Results''). We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Results. Based upon our analysis of the comments and information received, we made changes to the margin calculation for the final results. We find that certain manufacturers/exporters sold subject merchandise at less than normal value during the period of review (``POR''), i.e., March 1, 2007, through February 29, 2008.

In response to a request from Fujian Yu Xing Fruit and Vegetable Foodstuff Development Co., Ltd. (Yu Xing), the U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from the People's Republic of China for the period February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 74 19042 (April 27, 2009) (Initiation Notice). No other interested party requested an administrative review for this period. On July 24, 2009, Yu Xing withdrew its request for an administrative review. The withdrawal request was filed in a timely manner. Therefore, as discussed below, the Department is rescinding this administrative review.
