Republic of China, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) 
that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from Brazil, India, the People's Republic of 
China (PRC), Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and of 
material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time, the Department is publishing notice of the 
continuation of these antidumping duty orders.

DATES: Effective Date: April 29, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate Johnson or David Goldberger, AD/
CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On January 4, 2010, the Department initiated and the ITC instituted 
sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on shrimp from Brazil, 
India, the PRC, Thailand, and Vietnam, pursuant to section 751(c) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See Initiation of Five-
Year (``Sunset'') Review, 75 FR 103 (January 4, 2010), and Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp From Brazil, China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam, 75 
FR 1078 (January 8, 2010).
    The Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of the 
antidumping duty orders from Brazil, India, the PRC, and Thailand. As a 
result of its reviews, the Department found that revocation of the 
antidumping duty orders would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 
margins likely to prevail were the orders to be revoked. See Certain 
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, India, the People's Republic of 
China, and Thailand: Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Reviews of 
the Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 27299 (May 14, 2010). With respect 
to Vietnam, the Department conducted a full sunset review of the 
antidumping duty order and also found that revocation of the 
antidumping duty order would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 
margins likely to prevail if the order were to be revoked. See Certain 
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final 
Results of the First Five-year ``Sunset'' Review of the Antidumping 
Duty Order, 75 FR 75965 (December 7, 2010).
    Prior to the completion of the sunset reviews by the Department, on 
April 14, 2010, the United States Court of International Trade (CIT) 
sustained the remand redetermination issued by the Department pursuant 
to the CIT's remand order, which found that dusted shrimp should be 
included within the scope of the antidumping duty investigations of 
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil, Ecuador, India, the PRC, 
Thailand, and Vietnam.\1\ On September 2, 2010, the Department 
published in the Federal Register the amended final determinations of 
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil, India, the PRC, Thailand, 
and Vietnam.\2\

2, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 5, 2011, the ITC published its determination pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty 
orders on shrimp from Brazil, India, the PRC, Thailand, and Vietnam 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material 
injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time. See Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Brazil, China, 
India, Thailand, and Vietnam, 76 FR 18782 (April 5, 2011). The ITC also 
found the domestic like product to include dusted shrimp. See id. at 
footnote 22. On April 18, 2011, the Department amended the antidumping 
duty orders to include dusted shrimp within the scope of the orders.\3\

(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 individually quick frozen 
(``IQF'') freezing immediately after application of the dusting layer. 
When dusted in accordance with the definition of dusting above, the 
battered shrimp product is also coated with a wet viscous layer 
containing egg and/or milk, and par-fried.

applies only to the scope in the PRC case.

for convenience and for customs purposes only and are not dispositive, 
but rather the written description of the scope of these orders is

that revocation of the antidumping duty orders would be likely to lead 
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the 
Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping 
duty orders on shrimp from Brazil, India, the PRC, Thailand, and 
Vietnam.
    U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect 
antidumping duty cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of
