  Co., Ltd. and Xiangcheng Yisheng Foodstuffs Co., Ltd. in the normal
  administrative review.

the publication of an antidumping duty order under Sec.  351.211 or a 
determination under Sec.  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.
