\1\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
  rate, all other exporters of freshwater crawfish tail meat 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.

    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 section 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).
