AGENCY:
The Administrator, Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS), certified two
petitions (petition nos. 2011002 and
2011022) for trade adjustment assistance
(TAA) for shrimp filed under the fiscal
year (FY) 2011 program on behalf of
shrimp producers in Alabama, Alaska,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Texas. The petitions were accepted for
review by USDA on July 21, 2010. For
programmatic purposes, this Federal
Register notice combines both FY 2011
shrimp petitions under petition number
2011002.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All
petitions were analyzed by USDA’s
Economic Research Service and
reviewed by the TAA for Farmers
Program Review Committee, comprised
of representatives from USDA’s Office of
the Chief Economist, Farm Service
Agency, Agricultural Marketing Service,
and FAS. After a review, the
Administrator determined that
increased imports of shrimp during
January–December 2008 contributed
importantly to a greater than 15-percent
decline in the quantity of production in
2008, compared to the previous 3-year
average. This conforms to the eligibility
requirements stipulated in Subtitle C of
Title I of the Trade Act of 2002 (Pub. L.
107–210).
Because both petitions met the
program’s eligibility criteria, the
Administrator was able to certify them,
making shrimp producers in Alabama,
Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Texas eligible for trade
adjustment assistance in FY 2011.
Eligible individual shrimp producers
in these states, who did not qualify for
benefits under the FY 2010 program,
may apply for technical training and
cash benefits by completing and
submitting a written application to their
local Farm Service Agency county office
by the application deadline of December
23, 2010. After submitting a completed
application, producers may receive
technical assistance at no cost and cash
benefits, if the applicable program
eligibility requirements are satisfied.
Applicants must complete the technical
assistance training under the program in
order to be eligible for cash benefits.

Background
The importation and interstate
movement of garbage is regulated by the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service under 7 CFR 330.400 and 9 CFR
94.5 in order to protect against the
introduction into and dissemination
within the United States of plant and
animal pests and diseases.
On January 19, 2010, we published in
the Federal Register (75 FR 2845–2846,
Docket No. APHIS–2006–0172) a
notice 1 in which we announced the
availability, for public review and
comment, of an environmental
assessment documenting our review and
analysis of the environmental impacts
associated with, and alternatives to, the
movement of palletized or containerized
baled municipal solid waste to three
existing ports on the Columbia River via
barge and the transfer and
transportation of the waste via truck or
rail to the landfill.
We solicited comments on the
environmental assessment for 30 days
ending on February 18, 2010. We
received 37 comments by that date. The
commenters raised several issues,
including the potential for invasive
species/pest introductions, impacts on
air and water quality, impacts on fish
and wildlife habitat, impacts on existing
infrastructure (highway, rail, and barge),
increased traffic at associated ports, and
the adequacy of the environmental
assessment’s analysis of cumulative
effects.

finding of no significant impact

Although the agency had requested
public comment on the environmental
assessment published on January 19,
2010, with comments due on February
18, 2010, we received new information
regarding potential impacts from that
action after the FONSI had been issued.
Because APHIS had not previously had
the opportunity to evaluate this new
information, we have decided to
withdraw the FONSI effective
immediately and reevaluate the
potential environmental impacts that
may be associated with this action.

Background
On August 9, 2010, the Department of

the Federal Register the final results of
the fourth administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam

On August 10, 2010, Minh Phu
Seafood Corporation (and its affiliates
Minh Qui Seafood Co., Ltd. and Minh
Phat Seafood Co., Ltd. (collectively
‘‘Minh Phu Group’’)), Nha Trang
Seaproduct Company (‘‘Nha Trang
Seafoods’’), and Minh Hai-Joint Stock
Seafoods Processing Company
(‘‘Seaprodex Minh Hai’’) (collectively
‘‘Respondents’’) filed a timely allegation
that the Department made various
ministerial errors in the Final Results
and requested, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224, that the Department correct the
alleged ministerial errors. No other
parties in this proceeding submitted
comments on the Department’s final
margin calculations. Based upon our
analysis of the comments and
allegations of ministerial errors, we
made changes to the margin calculation
for Nha Trang Seafoods and the Minh
Phu Group, and corrected Seaprodex
Minh Hai’s separate rate status.
Furthermore, as a result of correcting
the errors in the margin calculations for
Nha Trang Seafoods and the Minh Phu
Group, the margin for the companies
granted separate-rate status were also
revised because the margin for those
companies were derived from Nha
Trang Seafoods’ and the Minh Phu
Group’s margins.
Scope of the Antidumping Duty Order
The scope of this order includes
certain warmwater shrimp and prawns,
whether frozen, wild-caught (ocean
harvested) or farm-raised (produced by
aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shellon or peeled, tail-on or tail-off, 3535
‘‘Tails’’ in this context means the tail fan,
which includes the telson and the
uropods. deveined or not deveined,
cooked or raw, or otherwise processed
in frozen form.
The frozen warmwater shrimp and
prawn products included in the scope of
this investigation, regardless of
definitions in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTS’’),
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
