which states that agencies must, based 

on a review of a loan application, 

determine that an applicant complies 

with statutory, regulatory, and 

administrative eligibility requirements 

for loan assistance. RUS has the 

authority to use consultants voluntarily 

funded by borrowers for financial, legal, 

engineering, and other technical 

services. However, all RUS borrowers 

are eligible to fund consultant services 

but are not required to fund consultants. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

RUS will collect information to 

determine whether it is appropriate to 

use a consultant voluntarily funded by 

the borrower to expedite a particular 

borrower application. If the information 

were not submitted, RUS would be 

unable to determine if using a 

consultant would accelerate the specific 

application process.

Summary of Collection: The Rural 

Electrification Act of 1936, 7 U.S.C. 901 

et seq., as amended, (RE Act) in Sec. 4 

(7 U.S.C. 904) authorizes and empowers 

the Administrator of the Rural Utilities 

Service (RUS) to make loans in the 

several States and Territories of the 

United States for rural electrification 

and the furnishing and improving of 

electric energy to persons in rural areas. 

RUS’ Administrator is authorized to 

provide financial assistance to 

borrowers for purposes provided in the 

RE Act by guaranteeing loans made by 

the National Rural Utilities Cooperative 

Finance Corporation, the Federal 

Financing Bank, and other lending 

agencies. These loans are for a term of 

up to 35 years and are secured by a first 

mortgage on the borrower’s electric 

system. Manufacturers, wishing to sell 

their products to RUS electric 

borrowers, request RUS consideration 

for acceptance of their products and 

submit letters of request with 

certifications as to the origin of 

manufacture of the products and 

include certified data demonstrating 

their products’ compliance with RUS 

specifications. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

RUS will collect information to evaluate 

the data to determine that the quality of 

the products is acceptable and that their 

use will not jeopardize loan security. 

The information is closely reviewed to 

be certain that test data; product 

dimensions and product material 

compositions fully comply with RUS 

technical standards and specifications 

that have been established for the 

particular product. Without this 

information, RUS has no means of 

determining the acceptability of 

products for use in the rural 

environment.

(Preliminary Results). We gave 

interested parties an opportunity to

and received no comments. We also

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We 

published the Preliminary Results for 

these new shipper reviews on April 1, 

2009. In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department stated that interested parties 

were to submit case briefs within 30 

days of publication of the Preliminary 

Results and rebuttal briefs within five 

days after the due date for filing case 

briefs. See Preliminary Results at 14778. 

No interested party submitted a case or 

rebuttal brief. 

Period of Review 

The period of review (POR) is 

February 1, 2008, through July 31, 2008. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are certain preserved mushrooms, 

whether imported whole, sliced, diced, 

or as stems and pieces. The certain 

preserved mushrooms covered under 

this order are the species Agaricus 

bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. 

‘‘Certain Preserved Mushrooms’’ refers 

to mushrooms that have been prepared 

or preserved by cleaning, blanching, and 

sometimes slicing or cutting. These 

mushrooms are then packed and heated 

in containers including, but not limited 

to, cans or glass jars in a suitable liquid 

medium, including, but not limited to, 

water, brine, butter or butter sauce. 

Certain preserved mushrooms may be 

imported whole, sliced, diced, or as 

stems and pieces. Included within the 

scope of this order are ‘‘brined’’ 

mushrooms, which are presalted and 

packed in a heavy salt solution to 

provisionally preserve them for further 

processing.1

Excluded from the scope of this order 

are the following: (1) All other species 

of mushroom, including straw 

mushrooms; (2) all fresh and chilled 

mushrooms, including ‘‘refrigerated’’ or 

‘‘quick blanched mushrooms’’ (3) dried 

mushrooms; (4) frozen mushrooms; and 

(5) ‘‘marinated,’’ ‘‘acidified,’’ or 

‘‘pickled’’ mushrooms, which are 

prepared or preserved by means of 

vinegar or acetic acid, but may contain 

oil or other additives. 

The merchandise subject to this order 

is classifiable under subheadings: 

2003.10.0127, 2003.10.0131, 

2003.10.0137, 2003.10.0143, 

2003.10.0147, 2003.10.0153 and 

0711.51.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving non–market 

economy (NME) countries, the 

Department begins with a rebuttable 

presumption that all companies within 

the country are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assigned a 

single antidumping duty deposit rate. It 

is the Department’s policy to assign all 

exporters of merchandise subject to 

review in an NME country this single 

rate unless an exporter can demonstrate 

that it is sufficiently independent so as 

to be entitled to a separate rate. 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department announced its 

determination that Zhangzhou 

Gangchang and Zhejiang Iceman had 

demonstrated their eligibility for 

separate rate status. We received no 

comments from interested parties 

regarding this determination. In these 

final results of review, we continue to 

find the evidence placed on the record 

by Zhangzhou Gangchang and Zhejiang 

Iceman demonstrates an absence of 

government control, both in law and in 

fact, with respect to their exports of the 

merchandise under review. Thus, we 

have determined that Zhangzhou 

Gangchang and Zhejiang Iceman are 

eligible to receive separate rates. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

We made no changes to the 

Preliminary Results. 

Final Results of Review 

The Department has determined that 

the following margins exist for the 

period February 1, 2008, through July 

31, 2008: 

Exporter/Manufacturer 

Weighted– 

Average 

Margin 

(Percentage) 

Zhangzhou Gangchang Canned 

Foods Co., Ltd., Fujian ........... 0.00 

Zhejiang Iceman Group Co., Ltd. 0.00 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to these final results, the 

Department determined, and CBP shall 

assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. The Department 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

for Zhangzhou Gangchang and Zhejiang 

Iceman to CBP 15 days after the date of 

publication of these final results of new 

shipper reviews. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer– 

specific (or customer) ad valorem duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of the dumping 

margins calculated for the examined 

sales to the total entered value of those 

same sales. We will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by these 

reviews if any importer–specific (or 

customer) assessment rate calculated in
