Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Notice
of Final Results of Expedited Sunset
Review of Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
DATES: Effective Date: February 2, 2009.
SUMMARY: On July 1, 2008, the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) initiated a sunset
review of the antidumping duty order
on certain frozen fish fillets (‘‘fish
fillets’’) from the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam (‘‘Vietnam’’). On the basis of a
notice of intent to participate, and an
adequate substantive response filed on
behalf of domestic interested parties, as
well as a lack of response from
respondent interested parties, the
Department conducted an expedited
sunset review. As a result of the sunset
review, the Department finds that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2008, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on fish fillets from Vietnam
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’).
See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Review, 73 FR 37411 (July 1, 2008). On
July 16, 2008, the Department received
a notice of intent to participate from the
Catfish Farmers of America (‘‘CFA’’) and
individual U.S. catfish processors,
America’s Catch, Consolidated Catfish
Companies, LLC dba Country Select
Catfish, Delta Pride Catfish, Inc.,
Harvest Select Catfish, Inc. dba Alabama
Catfish Inc., Heartland Catfish
Company, Magnolia Processing, Inc. dba
Pride of the Pond, Simmons Farm
Raised Catfish, Inc., and Southern Pride
Catfish Company LLC (collectively,
‘‘Petitioners’’). Submissions of the
notices of intent to participate filed by
Petitioners were within the deadline
specified in section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of
the Department’s regulations. The
domestic interested parties claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) and (G) of the Act as they
comprise domestic producers of fish
fillets in the United States and a trade
association representative of the
industry. On July 31, 2008, the
Department received a substantive
response from the domestic interested
parties within the deadline specified in
section 351.218(d)(3)(i) of the
Department’s regulations. We did not
receive responses from any respondent
interested parties to this proceeding. As
a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and section
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of the
Department’s regulations, the
Department determined to conduct an
expedited review of the order.

(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

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,
