28011 of 2005 a sunset review of anti-dumping duties on
frozen meat of fowls of the species Gallus Domesticus cut
in pieces with bone-in originating in or imported from
the United States. The review is based on prima facie

recurrence of dumping and material injury.

known manufacturers and exporters of the product to SACU
in order for them to be given an opportunity to assist in
the investigation. All United States' manufacturers and
exporters of the subject product should complete the
foreign manufacturers/exporter questionnaire. All
adjustments required by manufacturers and exporters
should be disclosed in the questionnaire together with
calculations and supporting documents. The Agricultural
Counselor will be sending the ITAC questionnaire to the
United States Department of Agriculture and the Poultry
and Egg Export Council, to ensure that the United States
poultry companies respond promptly.
3. (U) All responses and information regarding this
matter and arguments concerning the allegations of
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury
must be submitted in writing to reach the Director for
Trade Remedies at ITAC no later than 3 p.m. on October
27, 2005. Further information may be obtained from the
