SUMMARY: On January 3, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) initiated a sunset review of the countervailing duty (CVD) 
order on fresh and chilled Atlantic salmon from Norway pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See 
Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 76 FR 89 (January 3, 2011)

to section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(2). As a result of 
our analysis, the Department preliminary finds that revocation of the

Background

    On January 3, 2011, the Department initiated the third sunset 
review of the CVD order on fresh and chilled Atlantic salmon from 
Norway pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Sunset Initiation. On 
January 13, 2011, the Government of Norway (GON), Norwegian Seafood 
Federation (NSF), and Aquaculture Division of the Norwegian Seafood 
Association (ADNSA) (collectively, the respondents), filed letters of 
appearance in the review.\1\ On January 18, 2011, Phoenix Salmon U.S., 
Inc. (Phoenix Salmon), a domestic producer of fresh and chilled 
Atlantic salmon, filed a notice of intent to participate in the 
review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These public documents and all other public documents and 
public versions of proprietary documents with regard to this third 
full sunset review are available on the public record located in the 
Department's Central Records Unit at room 7046 of the main 
Department of Commerce building.
    \2\ Phoenix Salmon claimed to be the successor to the two 
domestic producers who participated in the prior sunset review--
Atlantic Salmon of Maine and Heritage Salmon Company, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 21, 2011, NSF and ADNSA supplemented their letter of 
appearance by submitting to the Department a list of their members. On 
February 2, 2011, the Department received a substantive response from 
Phoenix Salmon and a joint substantive response from the respondents 
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The 
Department received rebuttal comments from Phoenix Salmon and the GON 
on February 14, 2011. On February 25, 2011, the GON submitted a 
surrebuttal to Phoenix Salmon's rebuttal responding to the company's 
claims that NSF and ADNSA are not interested parties.
    On March 3, 2011, Department officials met with Phoenix Salmon, who 
reiterated statements made in its submissions regarding the interested 
party status of NSF and ADNSA. See Memorandum to the File, through 
Melissa Skinner, Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 3, from Kristen 
Johnson, Trade Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office 3, regarding 
``Meeting with Counsel for the Domestic Interested Party,'' (March 3, 
2011). On March 4, 2011, the Department issued a letter to NSF and 
ADNSA requesting that each association identify their members that are 
producers or exporters of the subject merchandise. On March 11, 2011, 
NSF and ADNSA submitted annotated membership lists, which identify the 
members of each association that are producers or exporters of subject 
merchandise. On March 16, 2011, Phoenix Salmon submitted comments on 
the membership lists submitted by NSF and ADNSA.
    On April 6, 2011, the Department issued its adequacy determination 
memorandum. The Department found that the domestic and respondent 
parties submitted adequate substantive responses and that NSF and ADNSA 
have standing as interested parties in this review. The Department, 
therefore, determined to conduct a full sunset review of this CVD 
order. See Memorandum to Gary Taverman, Acting Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, from 
Melissa Skinner, Director, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, Office 3, regarding ``Adequacy Determination: Third Sunset 
Reviews of the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Fresh and 
Chilled Atlantic Salmon From Norway,'' (April 6, 2011). On April 12, 
2011, the Department extended the deadline for the preliminary and 
final results of this sunset review. See Fresh and Chilled Atlantic 
Salmon From Norway: Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary and Final 
Results of Full Third Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Sunset 
Reviews, 76 FR 20312 (April 12, 2011) (Salmon Extension Notice). The 
Department did not receive comments on the adequacy determination 
memorandum from any party to this review.

(Salmo Salar) marketed as specified herein; the order excludes all 
other species of salmon: Danube salmon, Chinook (also called ``king'' 
or ``quinnat''), Coho (``silver''), Sockeye (``redfish'' or 
``blueback''), Humpback (``pink'') and Chum (``dog'').\3\ Atlantic 
salmon is a whole or nearly-whole fish, typically (but not necessarily) 
marketed gutted, bled, and cleaned, with the head on. The subject 
merchandise is typically packed in fresh-water ice (``chilled''). 
Excluded from the subject merchandise are fillets, steaks and other 
cuts of Atlantic salmon. Also excluded are frozen, canned, smoked or 
otherwise processed Atlantic salmon. Atlantic salmon is currently 
provided for under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
