The ITA said it intends to rescind this review with respect to Fiamma Vesuviana S.r.L. and Botticelli Mediterraneo S.a.r.l. pending the final results, because the two companies had no shipments to the U.S. during the period of review. The ITA also said it intends to revoke this AD order with respect to Pastificio Attilio Mastromauro Granoro S.r.L., because if the final results confirm the zero rate Granoro received in these preliminary results it would be Granoro’s third consecutive zero rate. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for these companies.
