INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-747 (Second Review)]


Fresh Tomatoes From Mexico

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Termination of five-year review and resumption of antidumping 
investigation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The subject five-year review was instituted on November 1, 
2007, to determine whether termination of the suspended investigation 
on fresh tomatoes from Mexico would be likely to lead to continuation 
or recurrence of material injury (72 FR 61903, November 1, 2007). On 
November 26, 2007, Mexican tomato growers/exporters accounting for a 
significant percentage of all fresh tomatoes imported into the United 
States from Mexico provided written notice to the Department of 
Commerce of their withdrawal from the agreement suspending the 
antidumping investigation on fresh tomatoes from Mexico. Effective 
January 18, 2008, the Department of Commerce terminated the suspension 
agreement, terminated the five-year review of the suspended 
investigation, and resumed the antidumping investigation on fresh 
tomatoes from Mexico because the suspension agreement no longer covered 
substantially all imports of fresh tomatoes from Mexico (73 FR 2887, 
January 16, 2008). Accordingly, the U.S. International Trade Commission 
gives notice of the termination of its review and the resumption of its 
antidumping investigation involving imports of fresh tomatoes from 
Mexico. A schedule for the final phase of the investigation will be 
established and announced at a later date.

DATES: Effective Date: January 18, 2008.
