SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 3, 2004, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (69 FR 5125) a notice of ``Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order on certain 
preserved mushrooms from India for the period February 1, 2003, through 
January 31, 2004. On February 27, 2004, Agro Dutch Foods, Ltd. (Agro 
Dutch), requested an administrative review of its sales. On February 
27, 2004, Premier Mushroom Farms (Premier), requested an administrative 
review of its sales. Also, on February 27, 2004, the petitioner \1\ 
requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order for 
the following companies: Agro Dutch, Dinesh Agro Products, Ltd. (Dinesh 
Agro), Flex Foods, Ltd. (Flex Foods), Himalya International, Ltd. 
(Himalya), Premier, Saptarishi Agro Industries Ltd. (Saptarishi Agro), 
and Weikfield Agro Products Ltd. (Weikfield). On March 26, 2004, the 
Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from India 
with respect to these companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocations 
in Part, 69 FR 15788.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The petitioner is the Coalition for Fair Preserved Mushroom 
Trade which includes: L.K. Bowman, Inc., Monterey Mushrooms, Inc., 
Mushroom Canning Company, and Sunny Dell Foods, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 24, 2004, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for 
review with respect to Dinesh Agro, Himalya, and Saptarishi Agro. On 
June 22, 2004, the petitioner requested that the Department extend the 
deadline established under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) to withdraw its request 
for review of Flex Foods until fourteen days after the receipt of a 
complete electronic dataset from Flex Foods. On June 24, 2004, we 
granted this request for extending the deadline to withdraw the 
petitioner's request for review of Flex Foods until July 6, 2004. On 
July 6, 2004, the petitioner requested that the Department extend the 
previous deadline established under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), until July 9, 
2004, for withdrawing its request for an administrative review of Flex 
Foods. On July 7, 2004, we granted this request. However, the 
petitioner never subsequently withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of Flex Foods.

Partial Rescission of Review

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations stipulates 
that the Secretary will rescind an administrative review, in whole or 
in part, if a party that requested a review withdraws the request 
within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of 
the requested review. In this case, the petitioner withdrew its request 
for review of Dinesh Agro, Himalya, and Saptarishi Agro within the 90-
day period. Therefore, because the petitioner was the only party to 
request the administrative review of these three companies, we are 
rescinding, in part, this review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain preserved mushrooms from India as to Dinesh Agro, Himalya, and 
Saptarishi Agro. This review will continue with respect to Agro Dutch, 
Flex Foods, Premier, and Weikfield.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: September 24, 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
