------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ We did not include this company in our initiation notice for
  December cases (69 FR 3117, January 22, 2004), because Chandan
  requested evaluation as a new shipper, which we denied after the
  publication of the referenced initiation notice. However, since
  Chandan also made a timely request for an administrative review, we
  are including Chandan in the 2002-2003 administrative review of
  stainless steel wire rods from India.
\2\ If the above named company does not qualify for a separate rate, all
  other exporters of folding gift boxes from the People's Republic of
  China who have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be
  covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the
  named exporters are a part.

    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 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.
    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).

    Dated: February 19, 2004.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
