SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 27, 2004, Qingdao
Jinyongxiang Aquatic Foods Co., Ltd.
(‘‘JYX Aquatic’’) requested an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on freshwater
crawfish tail meat from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) for subject
merchandise exported during the period
September 1, 2003, through August 31,
2004. On October 22, 2004, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on freshwater
crawfish tail meat from the PRC with
respect to, among other companies, JYX
Aquatic. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 69 FR 62022 (October 22,
2004).
On October 29, 2004, the Department
issued its antidumping questionnaire to
JYX Aquatic. On December 13, 2004,
Qingdao Jinyongxiang Trade Co., Ltd.
(‘‘JYX Trade’’), a party that did not
request an administrative review,
submitted what it stated was its
response to the Department’s
questionnaire of October 29, 2004. In
this submission at page A–3, JYX Trade
stated that JYX Aquatic did not export
subject merchandise to the United
States during the period of review
(‘‘POR’’). The Department confirmed
through import data from U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) that JYX
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Aquatic indeed made no exports of
subject merchandise during the POR.
On February 9, 2005, the Department
issued a letter to JYX Aquatic stating its
intention to rescind the review with
respect to JYX Aquatic because it did
not export subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR. In its
comments filed on February 22, 2005,
JYX Aquatic agreed that it had made no
U.S. sales during the POR and the
Department should rescind the review
with respect to JYX Aquatic. On
February 25, 2005, the Crawfish
Processors Alliance (‘‘Petitioner’’) filed
rebuttal comments. In its comments,
Petitioner asserts that the review with
respect to JYX Aquatic should be
rescinded for lack of a qualifying sale
during the POR.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this
antidumping duty order is freshwater
crawfish tail meat, in all its forms
(whether washed or with fat on,
whether purged or unpurged), grades,
and sizes; whether frozen, fresh, or
chilled; and regardless of how it is
packed, preserved, or prepared.
Excluded from the scope of the order are
live crawfish and other whole crawfish,
whether boiled, frozen, fresh, or chilled.
Also excluded are saltwater crawfish of
any type, and parts thereof. Freshwater
crawfish tail meat is currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS)
under item numbers 1605.40.10.10 and
1605.40.10.90, which are the new HTS
numbers for prepared foodstuffs,
indicating peeled crawfish tail meat and
other, as introduced by the U.S.
Customs Service in 2000, and HTS
items 0306.19.00.10 and 0306.29.00,
which are reserved for fish and
crustaceans in general. The HTS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes
only. The written description of the
scope of this order is dispositive.
Rescission of Review
We find it appropriate to rescind the
review with respect to JYX Aquatic as
it made no qualifying sales during the
POR. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3),
the Department may rescind an
administrative review ‘‘with respect to a
particular exporter or producer, if the
Secretary concludes that, during the
period covered by the review, there
were no entries, exports, or sales of the
subject merchandise, as the case may
be.’’ JYX Aquatic states that it did not
export subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR and agrees
that the review with respect to JYX
Aquatic should be rescinded. Import

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 61 / Thursday, March 31, 2005 / Notices
data obtained from CBP also supports a
finding that JYX Aquatic did not export
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR. Accordingly, the
Department is rescinding the
administrative review with respect to
JYX Aquatic.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). The
Department hereby requests timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or of the
conversion to judicial protective order.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation. This determination is issued
in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
