\2\ These orders are currently undergoing a ``sunset'' review pursuant
  to section 751(c) of the Act. If subsequent to publication of this
  initiation notice the orders should be revoked pursuant to ``sunset,''
  any review (if initiated) or automatic liquidation instruction (if no
  review is initiated) will only cover through the last day prior to the
  effective date of revocation.

    During any administrative review covering all or part of a period 
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of 
the publication of an antidumping duty order under section 351.211 or a 
determination under section 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or 
suspended investigation (after sunset review), the Secretary, if 
requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the review, will determine 
whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by an exporter or 
producer subject to the review if the subject merchandise is sold in 
the United States through an importer that is affiliated with such 
exporter or producer. The request must include the name(s) of the 
exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
    These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)), and 
19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
