Download as PDF wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES 14834 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 57 / Friday, March 24, 2006 / Notices related to Tatos by ownership, control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or business, and that it is necessary to add this entity to the Denial Order imposed against Tatos in order to avoid evasion of that Order. BIS notified the Related Person of its plans to take this action on December 15, 2005. Specifically, BIS provided notice to three individuals who were believed to be associated with the Related Person. In response, Tatos submitted comments on behalf of the Related Person stating that he was related to it by reason of being its business and company director. Tatos further stated that he did not believe it was appropriate to make the Denial Order imposed against him applicable to the Related Person. BIS also received comments from a second individual, who also stated that the Related Person is operated by Tatos. It is my belief that Tatos’ past actions of violating the Denial Order imposed against Suburban Guns (Pty) Ltd. and his justification for committing those violations indicate that he is prepared to take steps to both violate and evade orders issued against him by BIS. Accordingly, I find that it is necessary to make the Order imposed against Tatos applicable to the Related Person to prevent the evasion of that Order. It is now therefore ordered, First, that having been provided notice and opportunity for comment as provided in Section 766.23 of the Export Administration Regulations (the ‘‘Regulations’’), the following party (‘‘Related Person’’) has been determined to be related to Phaedon Nicholas Criton Constan-Tatos (a.k.a.

Box 30, Plumstead 7800, Cape Town, South Africa (‘‘Tatos’’) by affiliation, ownership, control, or position of responsibility in the conduct of trade or related services, and it has been deemed necessary to make the Order denying the export privileges of Tatos applicable to this Related Person in order to prevent evasion of the Order: Assegai Trading (Pty) Ltd., Four Loop Street, P.O. Box 4782, Cape Town 8001, South Africa. Second, that the denial of export privileges described in the Order against Tatos, which was published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2005 at 70 FR 69,311, shall be made applicable to the Related Person until its expiration on November 15, 2010, as follows: I.

On February 28, 2006, Grobest resubmitted its new shipper request. Grobest certified that it is both the producer and exporter of the subject merchandise upon which the request for a new shipper review is based. Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as amended (‘‘the Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), Grobest certified that it did not export frozen warmwater shrimp to the United States during the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’).

[[Page 14835]]

Background

    The notice announcing the antidumping duty order on certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp from Vietnam was published in the Federal Register on 
February 1, 2005. See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at 
Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 70 FR 05152 
(February 1, 2005) (``Vietnam Shrimp Order'').\1\ On January 31, 2006, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(c), the Department received a new shipper 
review request from Grobest & I-Mei Industrial (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. 
(``Grobest''). On February 24, 2006, the Department requested that 
Grobest correct certain filing deficiencies. See the Department's 
letter dated February 24, 2006. On February 28, 2006, Grobest 
resubmitted its new shipper request. Grobest certified that it is both 
the producer and exporter of the subject merchandise upon which the 
request for a new shipper review is based.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Therefore, a request for a new shipper review based on the 
anniversary month, February, was due to the Department by the final 
day of February 2006. See 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as 
amended (``the Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), Grobest certified 
that it did not export frozen warmwater shrimp to the United States 
during the period of investigation (``POI''). In addition, pursuant to 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Grobest certified that, since the initiation of 
the investigation, it has never been affiliated with any Vietnamese 
exporter or producer who exported frozen warmwater shrimp to the United 
States during the POI, including those not individually examined during 
the investigation. As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Grobest 
also certified that its export activities were not controlled by the 
central government of Vietnam.
    In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), Grobest submitted documentation establishing the 
following: (1) the date on which Grobest first shipped frozen warmwater 
shrimp for export to the United States and the date on which the frozen 
warmwater shrimp was first entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption; (2) the volume of its first shipment;\2\ and (3) the date 
of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Grobest made no subsequent shipments to the United States, 
which the Department corroborated using data from U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department conducted customs database queries to confirm that 
Grobest's shipment of subject merchandise had entered the United States 
for consumption and had been suspended for antidumping duties.

Initiation of New Shipper Reviews

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d)(1), the Department finds that Grobest's request meets the 
threshold requirements for initiation of a new shipper review for the 
shipment of frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam it produced and 
exported. See Memo to the File from Nicole Bankhead, Case Analyst, 
through James C. Doyle, Office Director, Office 9: New Shipper Review 
Initiation Checklist, dated March 17, 2006.
    The POR for this new shipper review is July 16, 2004, through 
January 31, 2006. See 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(ii)(A). The Department 
intends to issue the preliminary results of this review no later than 
180 days from the date of initiation, and final results of this review 
no later than 270 days from the date of initiation. See section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
    Because Grobest has certified that it produced and exported the 
frozen warmwater shrimp upon which it based its request for a new 
shipper review, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection to allow, at the option of the importer, the posting of a 
bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of frozen 
warmwater shrimp that was both produced and exported by Grobest until 
the completion of the new shipper review, pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
this new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
351.306.
    This initiation and notice are published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
