*We collapsed China First Pencil Co., Ltd. with Shanghai Three Star
  Stationary Industry Corp. and with its subsidiaries Shanghai First
  Writing Instrument Co., Ltd., Shanghai Great Wall Pencil Co., Ltd.,
  and China First Pencil Fang Zheng Co., Ltd. in previous segments of
  this proceeding. For this review we consider these parties to
  constitute a single entity.
\1\ The Department revoked the order in part with respect to entries of
  subject merchandise produced and exported by Viraj Alloys, Ltd., and
  VSL Wires, Ltd., effective December 1, 2003. See Stainless Steel Wire
  Rod from India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
  Review and Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 70 FR 40318 (July
  13, 2005). The Department is conditionally initiating a review with
  respect to Viraj Alloys, Ltd., Viraj Forgings, Ltd., Viraj Impoexpo
  Ltd., Viraj Smelting, Viraj Profiles, and VSL Wires, Ltd., pending
  further information from the requestor as to sales of subject
  merchandise not covered by the revocation.
\2\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
  rate, all other exporters of Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 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.
\3\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
  rate, all other exporters of Certain Cased Pencils 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.
\4\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
  rate, all other exporters of Hand Trucks and Parts Thereof 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.
\5\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
  rate, all other exporters of Honey 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. Additionally, for those companies for which we
  are conducting a new shipper review, this administrative review will
  only cover entries not covered by those new shipper reviews.

\6\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
  rate, all other exporters of Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings 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.
\7\ In accordance with section 351.213(b) of the regulations, the
  petitioners have requested an administrative review of this
  countervailing duty order. No individual exporters requested the
  review pursuant to section 351.213(b) of the regulations. Accordingly,
  the Department will be conducting the review of this order on an
  aggregate basis.

Suspension Agreements

    None.
    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 section 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, 
consistent with FAG Italia v. United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir. 
2002), as appropriate, 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).
