    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department has received a request, pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(h), for a 
new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta from 
Italy, which has a July anniversary date.

Initiation of Review

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
353.22(h)(6), we are initiating a new shipper review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain pasta from Italy. We intend to issue the final 
results of review not later than 270 days from the date of publication 
of this notice.
    The standard period of review (POR) in a new shipper review 
initiated following the semiannual anniversary month is the six months 
preceding the semiannual anniversary month. However, the Department may 
expand the standard POR to cover the first exportation of a new 
shipper. See Certain Compact Ductile Iron Waterworks Fittings and 
Glands From the People's Republic of China, 61 FR 18568, (April 26, 
1996). Therefore, the POR for this review has been expanded to include 
the semiannual anniversary month.
