\1\ Company inadvertently omitted from previous initiation notice.
\2\ If the above named company does not qualify for a separate rate, all
  other exporters of glycine 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 a single PRC entity of which the named
  exporters are a part.
\3\ In the initiation notice published on March 26, 2004 (69 FR 15788),
  the review period for Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People's
  Republic of China was incorrect. The correct review period is listed
  above.
\4\ This case was inadvertently listed in the ``Initiation of
  Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request
  for Revocation in Part'' notice that published in the Federal Register
  on March 26, 2004 (69 FR 15788). Since the Department did not receive
  any requests for review of this case, there is no administrative
  review being conducted for the 1/1/03-12/31/03 period.

    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: April 22, 2004.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
