SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) is extending the time
limit for the preliminary results of the
new shipper review of certain frozen
warmwater shrimp (‘‘shrimp’’) from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam
(‘‘Vietnam’’). This review covers the
period February 1, 2008 through January
31, 2009.
DATES: Effective Date: January 6, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni
Dach or Paul Walker, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 9, Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230;
telephone: (202) 482–1655 or (202) 482–
0413, respectively.
Background
On March 27, 2009, the Department
published a notice of initiation of the
new shipper review in the antidumping
duty order on shrimp from Vietnam for
Nhat Duc Co., Ltd. See Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review,
74 FR 13416 (March 27, 2009). On
September 15, 2009, the Department
extended the time limit for issuing the
preliminary results of the new shipper
review by 106 days. See Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Extension of
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty New Shipper Review, 74 FR 47190
(September 15, 2009). The preliminary
results of this review are currently due
no later than December 31, 2009.
Statutory Time Limits
In antidumping duty new shipper
reviews, section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) requires
the Department to issue the preliminary
results of a new shipper review within
180 days after the date on which the
new shipper review was initiated and
final results within 90 days after the
date on which the preliminary results
are issued. However, the Department
PO 00000

may extend the deadline for completion
of the preliminary results of a new
shipper review to 300 days if it
determines that the case is
extraordinarily complicated. See 19 CFR
351.214(i)(2).
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Review
The Department has determined that
the review is extraordinarily
complicated as the Department must
analyze numerous supplemental
questionnaires and information gathered
at verification. Based on the timing of
the case and the additional information
that must be analyzed, the preliminary
results of this new shipper review
cannot be completed within the
statutory time limit of 180 days.
Therefore, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion
of the preliminary results of this new
shipper review by an additional 14 days
from the December 31, 2009, deadline.
The preliminary results will now be due
no later than January 14, 2009. The final
results continue to be due 90 days after
the issuance of the preliminary results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: December 29, 2009.

• We have corrected the direct

Final Results Margin
We determine the weighted-average
dumping margin for CPZ for the period
June 1, 2007, through May 31, 2008, to
be 24.62 percent.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. For
assessment purposes, we calculated
importer (or customer)-specific
assessment rates for merchandise
subject to this review. Where
appropriate, we calculated an ad
valorem rate for each importer (or
customer) by dividing the total dumping
margins for reviewed sales to that party
by the total entered values associated
with those transactions. For dutyassessment rates calculated on this
basis, we will direct CBP to assess the
resulting ad valorem rate against the
entered customs values for the subject
merchandise. Where appropriate, we
calculated a per-unit rate for each
importer (or customer) by dividing the
total dumping margins for reviewed
sales to that party by the total sales
quantity associated with those
transactions. For duty-assessment rates
calculated on this basis, we will direct
CBP to assess the resulting per-unit rate
against the entered quantity of the
subject merchandise. Where an importer
(or customer)-specific assessment rate is
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent),
the Department will instruct CBP to
assess that importer (or customer’s)
E:\FR\FM\06JAN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 6, 2010 / Notices
entries of subject merchandise without
regard to antidumping duties, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries containing subject merchandise
exported by the PRC-wide entity at the
PRC-wide rate we determine in the final
results of this review. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For CPZ, the
cash deposit rate will be 24.62 percent,
as listed above; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the PRCwide rate of 92.84 percent; and 4) for all
non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. The deposit requirements shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance

protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations
performed within five days of the date
of publication of this notice to parties in
this proceeding in accordance with 19

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department published a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the countervailing duty order
on OTR Tires from the PRC. See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity To Request
Administrative Review, 74 FR 45179
(September 1, 2009). GPX timely
requested an administrative review of
the countervailing duty order on OTR
Tires from the PRC for the period
December 17, 2007 through December
31, 2008.
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended,
(the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i),
the Department published a notice
initiating an administrative review of
the countervailing duty order. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative

Part, 74 FR 54956 (October 26, 2009).
Rescission, in Part, of Countervailing
Duty Administrative Review
The Department’s regulations provide
that the Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the
date of publication of the notice of
initiation. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
GPX, the only party to request a review
of Aeolus, GTC, Feichi, Huitong, Wanda
and Triangle, timely withdrew its
request for a review within the 90-day
deadline. Therefore, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is
rescinding this administrative review of
the countervailing duty order with
respect to these six companies. This
administrative review will continue
with respect to Hebei Starbright Tire
Co., Ltd., Hanghzou Zhongce Rubber
Co., Ltd. and Tianjin United Tire &
Rubber International Co.

Based on an analysis of the comments received, the Department has
made certain changes in the margin calculation. For the final results,
the Department has made the following changes:
We have revised the surrogate value for tube steel. See
Issues and Decisions Memorandum at Comment 4; see also Memorandum
regarding, Factors Valuations for the Final Results of the 2007-2008
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Tapered Roller
Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished or Unfinished, from the People's
Republic of China, dated December 28, 2009; and Memorandum regarding,
2007-2008 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on
Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished or Unfinished, from
the People's Republic of China: Analysis of the Final Results Margin
Calculation for Peer Bearing Company--Changshan, dated December 28,
2009 (``Final Analysis Memorandum'').
We have corrected the direct material calculation for bar
and tube steel in our margin calculation. See Issues and Decisions
Memorandum at Comment 5; see also Final Analysis Memorandum.
Final Results Margin
We determine the weighted-average dumping margin for CPZ for the
period June 1, 2007, through May 31, 2008, to be 24.62 percent.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this
review. For assessment purposes, we calculated importer (or customer)-
specific assessment rates for merchandise subject to this review. Where
appropriate, we calculated an ad valorem rate for each importer (or
customer) by dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to
that party by the total entered values associated with those
transactions. For duty-assessment rates calculated on this basis, we
will direct CBP to assess the resulting ad valorem rate against the
entered customs values for the subject merchandise. Where appropriate,
we calculated a per-unit rate for each importer (or customer) by
dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to that party by
the total sales quantity associated with those transactions. For duty-
assessment rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess
the resulting per-unit rate against the entered quantity of the subject
merchandise. Where an importer (or customer)-specific assessment rate
is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), the Department will
instruct CBP to assess that importer (or customer's)
[[Page 846]]
entries of subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). We intend to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries containing subject merchandise exported by the PRC-
wide entity at the PRC-wide rate we determine in the final results of
this review. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For CPZ, the cash
deposit rate will be 24.62 percent, as listed above; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 92.84 percent; and 4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied that
non-PRC exporter. The deposit requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``APOs'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the
date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
We are issuing and publishing the final results and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 28, 2009.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
