(also known as Pangasius Pangasius),
and Pangasius Micronemus. Frozen fish
fillets are lengthwise cuts of whole fish.
The fillet products covered by the scope
include boneless fillets with the belly
flap intact (‘‘regular’’ fillets), boneless
fillets with the belly flap removed
(‘‘shank’’ fillets), boneless shank fillets
cut into strips (‘‘fillet strips/finger’’),
which include fillets cut into strips,
chunks, blocks, skewers, or any other
shape. Specifically excluded from the
scope are frozen whole fish (whether or
not dressed), frozen steaks, and frozen
belly-flap nuggets. Frozen whole
dressed fish are deheaded, skinned, and
eviscerated. Steaks are bone-in, crosssection cuts of dressed fish. Nuggets are
the belly-flaps. The subject merchandise
will be hereinafter referred to as frozen
‘‘basa’’ and ‘‘tra’’ fillets, which are the
Vietnamese common names for these
species of fish. These products are
classifiable under tariff article codes
1604.19.4000, 1604.19.5000,
0305.59.4000, 0304.29.6033 (Frozen
Fish Fillets of the species Pangasius
including basa and tra) of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).1 This Order
covers all frozen fish fillets meeting the
above specification, regardless of tariff
classification. Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, our written
description of the scope of the Order is
dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ (‘‘Decision
Memorandum’’) from John M.
Andersen, Acting Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration, to
Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
The issues discussed in the Decision
Memorandum include the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and the magnitude of the margins likely
to prevail if the order were revoked.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in this review and
the corresponding recommendations in
this public memorandum, which is on
file in the Central Records Unit in room
1117 of the main Commerce building.
In addition, a complete version of the
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the Web at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy and
electronic version of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 752(c)(1) and (3)
of the Act, we determine that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on fish
fillets from Vietnam would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the following weightedaverage percentage margins:

Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation
in Part
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) has received requests
to conduct administrative reviews of
various antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings with December
anniversary dates. In accordance with
our regulations, we are initiating those
administrative reviews. The Department
also received requests to revoke one
antidumping duty order in part.
DATES: Effective Date: February 2, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD
Operations, Customs Unit, Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230,
telephone: (202) 482–4737.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:03 Jan 30, 2009
Jkt 217001
various antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings with December
anniversary dates. The Department also
received timely requests to revoke in
part the antidumping duty order on
Honey from Argentina with respect to
two exporters.
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind a review where
there are no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the
respective period of review (POR) listed
below. If a producer or exporter named
in this notice of initiation had no
exports, sales, or entries during the
POR, it should notify the Department
within 30 days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. The
Department will consider rescinding the
review only if the producer or exporter,
as appropriate, submits a properly filed
and timely statement certifying that it
had no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.
All submissions must be made in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and
are subject to verification in accordance
with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act). Six copies
of the submission should be submitted
to the Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, Room 1870, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC 20230. Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i),
a copy of each request must be served
on every party on the Department’s
service list.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews,
the Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data for U.S.
imports during the POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
to all parties having an APO within five
days of publication of this initiation
notice and to make our decision
regarding respondent selection within
20 days of publication of this Federal
Register notice. The Department invites
comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection within 10 calendar
days of publication of this Federal
Register notice.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market
economy (NME) countries, the
Department begins with a rebuttable
presumption that all companies within
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 an
administrative 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.
To establish whether a firm is
sufficiently independent from
government control of its export
activities to be entitled to a separate
rate, the Department analyzes each
entity exporting the subject
merchandise under a test arising from
the Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the
People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588
(May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the
People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585
(May 2, 1994). In accordance with the
separate-rates criteria, the Department
assigns separate rates to companies in
NME cases only if respondents can
demonstrate the absence of both de jure
and de facto government control over
export activities.
All firms listed below that wish to
qualify for separate-rate status in the
administrative reviews involving NME
countries must complete, as
appropriate, either a separate-rate
application or certification, as described
below. For these administrative reviews,
in order to demonstrate separate-rate
eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was
requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this
proceeding in which they participated,
to certify that they continue to meet the
criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The
Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department’s Web site
at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme.nme-seprate.html on the date of publication of
this Federal Register notice. In
responding to the certification, please
follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the
Certification’’ in the Separate Rate
Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department
no later than 30 calendar days after
publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement
for submitting a Certification applies
equally to NME-owned firms, wholly
foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers
who purchase and export subject
merchandise to the United States.
For entities that have not previously
been assigned a separate rate, to
demonstrate eligibility for such, the
Department requires a Separate Rate
Status Application. The Separate Rate
