\1\ Pursuant to a request from the Canadian Wheat Board, the Department
  deferred the 10/01/2004-09/30/2005 antidumping duty review of hard red
  spring wheat for one year. See Initiation of Antidumping and
  Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of
  Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 72107 (December 1, 2005). The Department
  is now automatically initiating this review one year later because we
  have not received a request to withdraw from the Canadian Wheat Board.
  We did not receive a request for a review of the 10/01/2005-01/01/2006
  period.
\2\ If the above-named company does not qualify for a separate rate, all
  other exporters of Polyvinyl Alcohol 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 exporter is a part.
\3\ If the above-named company does not qualify for a separate rate, all
  other exporters of Certain Helical Spring Lock Washers 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 exporter is a part.
\4\ Pursuant to a request from the Canadian Wheat Board, the Department
  deferred the 01/01/2004-12/31/2004 countervailing duty review of hard
  red spring wheat for one year. See Initiation of Antidumping and
  Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of
  Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 72107 (December 1, 2005). The Department
  is now automatically initiating this review one year later because we
  have not received a request to withdraw from the Canadian Wheat Board.
  We did not receive a request for a review of the 1/1/2005-1/1/2006
  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 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).

    Dated: November 20, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
