SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 19, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published its notice of initiation of antidumping duty changed

Initiation of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 72 FR 
65010 (November 19, 2007) (Initiation). On February 22, 2008, the 
Department published its notice of preliminary results of CCR and 
intent to reinstate the antidumping duty order. See Certain Pasta from 
Italy: Notice of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed 
Circumstances Review and Intent to Reinstate the Antidumping Duty

and AIPC have requested that the Department meet with their 
representatives on August 11, 2008, which is after the current deadline

accommodate the request of Lensi and AIPC and in accordance with 19 CFR
