(‘‘Quoc Viet’’). Quoc Viet’s request was properly made during August 2010, which is the semiannual anniversary of the Order. Quoc Viet certified that it is a producer and exporter of the subject merchandise upon which the request was based. Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and section 351.214(b)(2)(i) of the Department’s regulations, Quoc Viet 1 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 5152 (February 1, 2005) (‘‘Order’’).

As required by section 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B) of the Department’s regulations, Quoc Viet also certified that its export activities were not controlled by the central government of Vietnam. In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to section 351.214(b)(2)(iv) of the Department’s regulations, Quoc Viet submitted documentation establishing the following: (1) The date on which Quoc Viet first shipped subject merchandise for export to the United States and; (2) the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States.2 Initiation of New Shipper Review Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and section 351.214(d)(1) of the Department’s regulations, we find that the request submitted by Quoc Viet meets the threshold requirements for initiation of a NSR for shipments of shrimp from Vietnam produced and exported by Quoc Viet.3 The POR is February 1, 2010–July 31, 2010.4 The Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this NSR no later than 180 days from the date of initiation, and the final results no later than 270 days from the date of initiation.5 It is the Department’s usual practice, in cases involving non-market economies, to require that a company seeking to establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the NME entity-wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of government control over the company’s export activities. Accordingly, we will issue questionnaires to Quoc Viet, which will include a section requesting information with regard to Quoc Viet’s export activities for separate rate purposes. The NSR will proceed if the response provides sufficient indication that Quoc Viet is not subject to either de jure or de facto government control with respect to its export of subject merchandise. We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow, at the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the subject merchandise from Quoc Viet in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and section 351.214(e) of the Department’s regulations. Because Quoc Viet certified that it both produced and exported the subject merchandise, the sale of which is the basis for this new shipper review request, we will apply the bonding privilege to Quoc Viet only for subject merchandise which Quoc Viet both produced and exported. Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative protective order in accordance with sections 351.305 and 351.306 of the Department’s regulations.

    It is the Department's usual practice, in cases involving non-
market economies, to require that a company seeking to establish 
eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the NME entity-
wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of 
government control over the company's export activities. Accordingly, 
we will issue questionnaires to Quoc Viet, which will include a section 
requesting information with regard to Quoc Viet's export activities for 
separate rate purposes. The NSR will proceed if the response provides 
sufficient indication that Quoc Viet is not subject to either de jure 
or de facto government control with respect to its export of subject 
merchandise.
    We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow, at 
the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the 
review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry 
of the subject merchandise from Quoc Viet in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and section 351.214(e) of the Department's 
regulations. Because Quoc Viet certified that it both produced and 
exported the subject merchandise, the sale of which is the basis for 
this new shipper review request, we will apply the bonding privilege to 
Quoc Viet only for subject merchandise which Quoc Viet both produced 
and exported.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative 
protective order in accordance with sections 351.305 and 351.306 of the 
Department's regulations.
    This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and sections 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i) of 
the Department's regulations.
