DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Notification to Interested Parties
[A–533–840]
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
of their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under the APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
Timely written notification of the return
or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice of final results is issued
and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.

We invited parties to comment on our
preliminary results of review. In April
2009, we received case and rebuttal
briefs from the petitioner (i.e., the Ad
Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee), a
group of 32 U.S. shrimp processors,2
and the two respondents selected for
individual examination (i.e., Devi and
Falcon).
The Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).

and prawns generally classified in the
Pandalidae family and commonly
referred to as coldwater shrimp, in any
state of processing; (3) fresh shrimp and
prawns whether shell-on or peeled
(HTSUS subheadings 0306.23.00.20 and
0306.23.00.40); (4) shrimp and prawns

shrimp; (2) to which a ‘‘dusting’’ layer
of rice or wheat flour of at least 95
percent purity has been applied; (3)
with the entire surface of the shrimp
flesh thoroughly and evenly coated with
the flour; (4) with the non-shrimp
content of the end product constituting
between four and 10 percent of the
product’s total weight after being
dusted, but prior to being frozen; and (5)
that is subjected to IQF freezing
immediately after application of the
dusting layer. Battered shrimp is a
shrimp-based product that, when dusted
in accordance with the definition of
dusting above, is coated with a wet
viscous layer containing egg and/or
milk, and par-fried.
The products covered by this order
are currently classified under the

Period of Review
The POR is February 1, 2007, through
January 31, 2008.
Partial Rescission
In the Preliminary Results, we
assigned company-specific rates to
Falcon, Manufacturer Falcon Marine
Exports, Sandhya Aqua Exports, and
Sandhya Aqua Exports Pvt. Ltd.
However, after reviewing information
from the 2008–2009 review, the
Department has determined that two of
these company names are duplicate
names of the other two companies. The
correct names of the companies listed in
pairs above are Falcon and Sandhya
Aqua Exports Pvt. Ltd. See the May 8,
2009, memorandum from Elizabeth
Eastwood to the File, entitled, ‘‘Placing
Public Information from the 2008–2009
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review on the Record of the 2007–2008
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review on Certain Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp from India’’ (Name Clarification
Memo). Therefore, the Department is
rescinding this review with respect to
Sandhya Aqua Exports and
Manufacturer Falcon Marine Exports.
Collapsing
Prior to the Preliminary Results, one
of the non-mandatory respondents in
this case, Ananda Aqua Exports (AAE),
informed the Department that it is
affiliated with Ananda Foods (AF) and
Ananda Aqua Applications (AAA),
producers/exporters of shrimp in India.
Consequently, it requested that the
Department treat it and these two
companies as a single entity for
purposes of this administrative review.
At the Department’s request, AAE, AF,
and AAA (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the
Ananda Group’’) provided information
to support this claim. Although the
Ananda Group’s most recent
submission, containing additional
information with respect to the
ownership of the three companies and
the relationships among the owners,
was filed in a timely manner, it was not
received in time to consider for
purposes of the preliminary results.
Nonetheless, in the Preliminary
Results we preliminarily determined
that, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.401(f), it is appropriate to collapse
the companies in the Ananda Group for
purposes of this proceeding because: (1)
Entities within the group are affiliated
and two of these entities have
production facilities for identical or
similar merchandise that would not
require significant retooling in order to
restructure manufacturing priorities;
and (2) a significant potential for
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
manipulation exists due to common
ownership, overlapping management
and board of directors, and intertwined
operations. See Preliminary Results, 74
FR at 9994.
We have now analyzed the Ananda
Group’s March 2009 submission
clarifying certain aspects of the
companies’ partners, including familial
relationships of partners/owners of the
three companies. Based on this
additional information provided by the
Ananda Group, we continue to find that
it is appropriate to collapse the
companies AAA, AAE, and AF into the
Ananda Group, and consequently we
have continued to treat these companies
as a single entity for purposes of our
final determination.
Cost of Production
As discussed in the preliminary
results, we conducted an investigation
to determine whether Devi and Falcon
made third country sales of the foreign
like product during the POR at prices
below their costs of production (COP)
within the meaning of section 773(b) of
the Act. See Preliminary Results, 74 FR
at 9997. For these final results, we
performed the cost test following the
same methodology as in the Preliminary
Results.
We found 20 percent or more of each
respondent’s sales of a given product
during the reporting period were at
prices less than the weighted-average
COP for this period. Thus, we
determined that these below-cost sales
were made in ‘‘substantial quantities’’
within an extended period of time and
at prices which did not permit the
recovery of all costs within a reasonable
period of time in the normal course of
trade. See sections 773(b)(1)–(2) of the
Act.
Therefore, for purposes of these final
results, we found that Devi and Falcon
made below-cost sales not in the
ordinary course of trade. Consequently,
we disregarded these sales for each
respondent and used the remaining
sales as the basis for determining
normal value pursuant to section
773(b)(1) of the Act.

Assessment
The Department shall determine, and
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
because Devi and Falcon reported the
entered value for some or all of their
U.S. sales, we have calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the sales which
entered value was reported. For Falcon’s
U.S. sales reported without entered
values, we have calculated importerspecific per-unit duty assessment rates
by aggregating the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales and dividing this
amount by the total quantity of those
sales. To determine whether the duty
assessment rates are de minimis, in
4 This rate is based on the weighted average of the
margins calculation for those companies selected
for individual review, excluding de minimis
margins or margins based entirely on adverse facts
available (AFA).
5 The Department initiated the 2007–2008
administrative review for this company under the
name Sri Chandrakantha Marine Exports, Ltd.
However, subsequent to the Preliminary Results, we
discovered that the company’s correct name is Sri
Chandrakantha Marine Exports. See Name
Clarification Memo. Therefore, we have included
this company in our final results under its correct
name.
6 The Department initiated the 2007–2008
administrative review for this company under the
name Teekay Maine P. Ltd. However, subsequent to
the Preliminary Results, we discovered that the
company’s correct name is Teekay Marine P. Ltd.
See Name Clarification Memo. Therefore, we have
included this company in our final results under its
correct name.

Jkt 217001
accordance with the requirement set
forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we have
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
ratios based on the estimated entered
value.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we have
calculated an assessment rate based on
the weighted average of the cash deposit
rates calculated for the companies
selected for individual review excluding
any which are de minimis or
determined entirely on AFA.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
will instruct CBP to liquidate without
regard to antidumping duties any
entries for which the assessment rate is
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent).
The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these
final results of review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by companies included in
these final results of review for which
the reviewed companies did not know
their merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.

Cash Deposit Requirements
Further, the following deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of shrimp from India entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rates for the reviewed
companies will be the rates shown
above, except if the rate is less than 0.50
percent, de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), the cash
deposit will be zero; (2) for previously
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the LTFV investigation, but
the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 10.17
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation. See Notice of

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the receipt
of an application for an exempted
fishing permit (EFP) from the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, Fish and Wildlife
Research Institute. This study would
place observers aboard vessels of
opportunity in the Gulf of Mexico
recreational for–hire fishery to collect
reef fish for determination of age
structure and sex composition and to tag
and release reef fish to evaluate discard
mortality. If granted, the EFP would
authorize the applicant, within certain
conditions, to collect and possess reef
fish that would otherwise be prohibited
because of existing fishing regulations.
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than 5 p.m., eastern time, on
August 12, 2009.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
on the application by any of the
following methods:
• E–mail: Rich.Malinowski@noaa.gov.
Include in the subject line of the e–mail
comment the following document
identifier: ‘‘FFWCClEFP’’.
• Mail: Rich Malinowski, Southeast
Regional Office, NMFS, 263 13th
Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.
• Fax: 727–824–5308.
The application and related
documents are available for review
upon written request to any of the above
addresses.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rich
Malinowski, 727–824–5305; fax 727–
824–5308; e–mail
Rich.Malinowski@noaa.gov.
The EFP is
requested under the authority of the
Magnuson–Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and regulations at
50 CFR 600.745(b) concerning exempted
fishing.
The described research is part of a
Cooperative Research Program Grant
and the Emergency Disaster Relief
Program. The Cooperative Research
Program is a means of involving
commercial and/or recreational
fishermen in the collection of
fundamental fisheries information.
Resource collection efforts support the
development and evaluation of fisheries
management and regulatory options.
The Emergency Disaster Relief Program
is administered by the Gulf States
Marine Fisheries Commission, to assist
in an assessment of the status of the for–
hire fishery fleets operating in counties
impacted by the 2005 hurricane season.

The proposed collection for scientific
research involves activities otherwise
prohibited by regulations implementing
the Fishery Management Plan for the
Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of
Mexico. The applicants require
authorization to harvest and possess
snapper and grouper species for
scientific research activities during the
period from June 15, 2009, through June
15, 2012. Specimens would be collected
from Federal waters off the west coast
of Florida. Sampling would occur
during normal fishing operations of the
recreational for–hire fishery. Data
collections for this study would support
improved information about the catch,
bycatch, discards, discard mortality, age
structure and sex determinations for
species in the reef fish complex. These
data would provide insight on a stock’s
resilience to fishing and would help
refine estimates of long–term biological
productivity of the stocks. It is
anticipated project results would yield
valuable data within this fishery.
NMFS finds this application warrants
further consideration. Based on a
preliminary review, NMFS intends to
issue an EFP. Possible conditions the
agency may impose on this permit, if it
is indeed granted, include but are not
limited to, a prohibition of conducting
research within marine protected areas,
marine sanctuaries, or special
management zones, without additional
authorization. Additionally, NMFS may
prohibit the possession of Nassau or
goliath grouper and would require any
sea turtles taken incidentally during the
course of fishing or scientific research
activities to be handled with due care to
prevent injury to live specimens,
observed for activity, and returned to
the water. A final decision on issuance
of the EFP will depend on a NMFS
review of public comments received on
the application, consultations with the
affected states, the Gulf of Mexico
Fishery Management Council, and the
U.S. Coast Guard, and a determination
that it is consistent with all applicable
laws.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers 156 producers/exporters. The respondents which
the Department selected for individual review are Devi Sea Foods
Limited (Devi) and Falcon Marine Exports Limited (Falcon). The
respondents which were not selected for individual review are listed in
the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department has conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes certain frozen warmwater shrimp
and prawns, whether wild-caught (ocean harvested) or farm-raised
(produced by aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shell-on or peeled,
tail-on or tail-off,\3\ deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or
otherwise processed in frozen form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ ``Tails'' in this context means the tail fan, which includes
the telson and the uropods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The frozen warmwater shrimp and prawn products included in the
scope of this order, regardless of definitions in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), are products which are processed
from warmwater shrimp and prawns through freezing and which are sold in
any count size.
The products described above may be processed from any species of
warmwater shrimp and prawns. Warmwater shrimp and prawns are generally
classified in, but are not limited to, the Penaeidae family. Some
examples of the farmed and wild-caught warmwater species include, but
are not limited to, whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannemei), banana prawn
(Penaeus merguiensis), fleshy prawn (Penaeus chinensis), giant river
prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon),
redspotted shrimp (Penaeus brasiliensis), southern brown shrimp
(Penaeus subtilis),
[[Page 33410]]
southern pink shrimp (Penaeus notialis), southern rough shrimp
(Trachypenaeus curvirostris), southern white shrimp (Penaeus schmitti),
blue shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris), western white shrimp (Penaeus
occidentalis), and Indian white prawn (Penaeus indicus).
Frozen shrimp and prawns that are packed with marinade, spices or
sauce are included in the scope of this order. In addition, food
preparations, which are not ``prepared meals,'' that contain more than
20 percent by weight of shrimp or prawn are also included in the scope
of this order.
Excluded from the scope are: (1) Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTSUS
subheading 1605.20.10.20); (2) shrimp and prawns generally classified
in the Pandalidae family and commonly referred to as coldwater shrimp,
in any state of processing; (3) fresh shrimp and prawns whether shell-
on or peeled (HTSUS subheadings 0306.23.00.20 and 0306.23.00.40); (4)
shrimp and prawns in prepared meals (HTSUS subheading 1605.20.05.10);
(5) dried shrimp and prawns; (6) canned warmwater shrimp and prawns
(HTSUS subheading 1605.20.10.40); (7) certain dusted shrimp; and (8)
certain battered shrimp. Dusted shrimp is a shrimp-based product: (1)
That is produced from fresh (or thawed-from-frozen) and peeled shrimp;
(2) to which a ``dusting'' layer of rice or wheat flour of at least 95
percent purity has been applied; (3) with the entire surface of the
shrimp flesh thoroughly and evenly coated with the flour; (4) with the
non-shrimp content of the end product constituting between four and 10
percent of the product's total weight after being dusted, but prior to
being frozen; and (5) that is subjected to IQF freezing immediately
after application of the dusting layer. Battered shrimp is a shrimp-
based product that, when dusted in accordance with the definition of
dusting above, is coated with a wet viscous layer containing egg and/or
milk, and par-fried.
The products covered by this order are currently classified under
the following HTSUS subheadings: 0306.13.00.03, 0306.13.00.06,
0306.13.00.09, 0306.13.00.12, 0306.13.00.15, 0306.13.00.18,
0306.13.00.21, 0306.13.00.24, 0306.13.00.27, 0306.13.00.40,
1605.20.10.10, and 1605.20.10.30. These HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and for customs purposes only and are not dispositive,
but rather the written description of the scope of this order is
dispositive.
Period of Review
The POR is February 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008.
Partial Rescission
In the Preliminary Results, we assigned company-specific rates to
Falcon, Manufacturer Falcon Marine Exports, Sandhya Aqua Exports, and
Sandhya Aqua Exports Pvt. Ltd. However, after reviewing information
from the 2008-2009 review, the Department has determined that two of
these company names are duplicate names of the other two companies. The
correct names of the companies listed in pairs above are Falcon and
Sandhya Aqua Exports Pvt. Ltd. See the May 8, 2009, memorandum from
Elizabeth Eastwood to the File, entitled, ``Placing Public Information
from the 2008-2009 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review on the Record
of the 2007-2008 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review on Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India'' (Name Clarification Memo).
Therefore, the Department is rescinding this review with respect to
Sandhya Aqua Exports and Manufacturer Falcon Marine Exports.
Collapsing
Prior to the Preliminary Results, one of the non-mandatory
respondents in this case, Ananda Aqua Exports (AAE), informed the
Department that it is affiliated with Ananda Foods (AF) and Ananda Aqua
Applications (AAA), producers/exporters of shrimp in India.
Consequently, it requested that the Department treat it and these two
companies as a single entity for purposes of this administrative
review. At the Department's request, AAE, AF, and AAA (hereinafter
referred to as ``the Ananda Group'') provided information to support
this claim. Although the Ananda Group's most recent submission,
containing additional information with respect to the ownership of the
three companies and the relationships among the owners, was filed in a
timely manner, it was not received in time to consider for purposes of
the preliminary results.
Nonetheless, in the Preliminary Results we preliminarily determined
that, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.401(f), it is appropriate to
collapse the companies in the Ananda Group for purposes of this
proceeding because: (1) Entities within the group are affiliated and
two of these entities have production facilities for identical or
similar merchandise that would not require significant retooling in
order to restructure manufacturing priorities; and (2) a significant
potential for manipulation exists due to common ownership, overlapping
management and board of directors, and intertwined operations. See
Preliminary Results, 74 FR at 9994.
We have now analyzed the Ananda Group's March 2009 submission
clarifying certain aspects of the companies' partners, including
familial relationships of partners/owners of the three companies. Based
on this additional information provided by the Ananda Group, we
continue to find that it is appropriate to collapse the companies AAA,
AAE, and AF into the Ananda Group, and consequently we have continued
to treat these companies as a single entity for purposes of our final
determination.
Cost of Production
As discussed in the preliminary results, we conducted an
investigation to determine whether Devi and Falcon made third country
sales of the foreign like product during the POR at prices below their
costs of production (COP) within the meaning of section 773(b) of the
Act. See Preliminary Results, 74 FR at 9997. For these final results,
we performed the cost test following the same methodology as in the
Preliminary Results.
We found 20 percent or more of each respondent's sales of a given
product during the reporting period were at prices less than the
weighted-average COP for this period. Thus, we determined that these
below-cost sales were made in ``substantial quantities'' within an
extended period of time and at prices which did not permit the recovery
of all costs within a reasonable period of time in the normal course of
trade. See sections 773(b)(1)-(2) of the Act.
Therefore, for purposes of these final results, we found that Devi
and Falcon made below-cost sales not in the ordinary course of trade.
Consequently, we disregarded these sales for each respondent and used
the remaining sales as the basis for determining normal value pursuant
to section 773(b)(1) of the Act.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs by parties to this
administrative review are listed in the Appendix to this notice and
addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum (the Decision Memo),

* De minimis.
Assessment
The Department shall determine, and Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ This rate is based on the weighted average of the margins
calculation for those companies selected for individual review,
excluding de minimis margins or margins based entirely on adverse
facts available (AFA).
\5\ The Department initiated the 2007-2008 administrative review
for this company under the name Sri Chandrakantha Marine Exports,
Ltd. However, subsequent to the Preliminary Results, we discovered
that the company's correct name is Sri Chandrakantha Marine Exports.
See Name Clarification Memo. Therefore, we have included this
company in our final results under its correct name.
\6\ The Department initiated the 2007-2008 administrative review
for this company under the name Teekay Maine P. Ltd. However,
subsequent to the Preliminary Results, we discovered that the
company's correct name is Teekay Marine P. Ltd. See Name
Clarification Memo. Therefore, we have included this company in our
final results under its correct name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Devi and Falcon reported
the entered value for some or all of their U.S. sales, we have
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered value of the sales which entered
value was reported. For Falcon's U.S. sales reported without entered
values, we have calculated importer-specific per-unit duty assessment
rates by aggregating the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for the examined sales and dividing this amount by the total quantity
of those sales. To determine whether the duty assessment rates are de
minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we have calculated importer-specific ad valorem ratios
based on the estimated entered value.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
have calculated an assessment rate based on the weighted average of the
cash deposit rates calculated for the companies selected for individual
review excluding any which are de minimis or determined entirely on
AFA.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate
without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which the
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent). The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the
POR produced by companies included in these final results of review for
which the reviewed companies did not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established in
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Further, the following deposit requirements will be effective for
all shipments of shrimp from India entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the reviewed
companies will be the rates shown above, except if the rate is less
than 0.50 percent, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), the cash deposit will be zero; (2) for previously
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or
the LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 10.17 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. See Notice of
Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and
Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India, 70
FR 5147, 5148 (Feb. 1, 2005). These deposit requirements shall remain
in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to
[[Page 33414]]
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure
to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only 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). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these results of review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: July 7, 2009.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
