SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), are references to the provisions 
effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to 
the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless 
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (2002).

Background

    The Department has received timely requests from PT Eka Timur Raya 
(Etira) and PT Karya Kompos Bagas (KKB), in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(c), for a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain preserved mushrooms from Indonesia, which has a February 
anniversary month.
    As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), (ii), and (iii)(A), each 
company identified above has certified that it did not export certain 
preserved mushrooms to the United States during the period of 
investigation (``POI''), and that it has never been affiliated with any 
exporter or producer which exported certain preserved mushrooms during 
the POI. Pursuant to the Department's regulations at 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(iv), each company submitted documentation establishing 
the date on which it first shipped the subject merchandise to the 
United States, the date of entry of that first shipment, the volume of 
that shipment and the date of the first sale to an unaffiliated 
customer in the United States.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, as amended, and 
19 CFR 351.214(b), and based on information on the record, we are 
initiating a new shipper review for Etria and KKB.

Initiation of Review

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d)(1), we are initiating a new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from Indonesia. 
We intend to issue the preliminary results of this new shipper review 
not later than 180 days after initiation of this review.

PT Karya Kompos Bagas..........................      02/01/02 - 07/31/02

    We will instruct the Customs Service to allow, at the option of the 
importer, the posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or 
security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the subject 
merchandise from the above-listed companies in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(e). Because Etria and KKB certified that they both produce and 
export the subject merchandise, the sale of which was the basis for 
this new shipper review request, we will apply the bonding privilege 
only to subject merchandise for which they are both the producer and 
exporter.
    Interested parties that need access to proprietary information in 
this new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
351.306.
    This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 351.214(d).

    Dated: September 30, 2002.
Richard Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
