Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 133 / Tuesday, July 12, 2011 / Notices
China: Final Results of the Expedited
Third Sunset Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 12323
(March 7, 2011).
On July 1, 2011, the ITC determined,
pursuant to section 751(c)(1) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on certain cased pencils from the
PRC would likely lead to a continuation
or recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See Cased
Pencils from China, 76 FR 38697 (July
1, 2011), and USITC Publication 4239
(June 2011), Cased Pencils from China,
Investigation No. 731–TA–669 (Third
Review).

Scope of the Order
Imports covered by the order are
shipments of certain cased pencils of
any shape or dimension (except as
described below) which are writing and/
or drawing instruments that feature
cores of graphite or other materials,
encased in wood and/or man-made
materials, whether or not decorated and
whether or not tipped (e.g., with erasers,
etc.) in any fashion, and either
sharpened or unsharpened. The pencils
subject to the order are currently
classifiable under subheading
9609.10.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). Specifically excluded from
the scope of the order are mechanical
pencils, cosmetic pencils, pens, noncased crayons (wax), pastels, charcoals,
chalks, and pencils produced under
U.S. patent number 6,217,242, from
paper infused with scents by the means
covered in the above-referenced patent,
thereby having odors distinct from those
that may emanate from pencils lacking
the scent infusion. Also excluded from
the scope of the order are pencils with
all of the following physical
characteristics: (1) Length: 13.5 or more
inches; (2) sheath diameter: not less
than one-and-one quarter inches at any
point (before sharpening); and (3) core
length: Not more than 15 percent of the
length of the pencil.
In addition, pencils with all of the
following physical characteristics are
excluded from the scope of the order:
Novelty jumbo pencils that are
octagonal in shape, approximately ten
inches long, one inch in diameter before
sharpening, and three-and-one eighth
inches in circumference, composed of
turned wood encasing one-and-one half
inches of sharpened lead on one end
and a rubber eraser on the other end.
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.

Continuation of the Order
As a result of these determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to a
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 order on certain cased
pencils from the PRC. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
collect antidumping duty cash deposits
at the rates in effect at the time of entry
for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of
the order will be the date of publication
in the Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to sections
751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next
five-year review of the order not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: July 6, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers 152 producers/
exporters. The respondents which the
Department selected for individual
examination are Marine Gold Products,
Ltd. (MRG) and Pakfood Public
Company Limited and its affiliated
subsidiaries (collectively, ‘‘Pakfood’’).1
The respondents which were not
selected for individual examination are
listed in the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’
section of this notice.
On March 4, 2011, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on shrimp from Thailand. See Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From
Thailand: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary No Shipment
Determination, 76 FR 12033 (Mar. 4,
2011) (Preliminary Results). We invited
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results.
In April 2011, we received case and
rebuttal briefs from the Ad Hoc Shrimp
Trade Action Committee (the
petitioner), the American Shrimp
Processors Association and the
Louisiana Shrimp Association
(collectively, ‘‘the processors’’), MRG,
and Pakfood.
The Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes
certain frozen warmwater shrimp and
prawns, whether wild-caught (ocean
harvested) or farm-raised (produced by
aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shellon or peeled, tail-on or tail-off,2
1 These subsidiaries are: Asia Pacific (Thailand)
Company Ltd., Chaophraya Cold Storage Co., Ltd.,
Okeanos Co., Ltd., Okeanos Food Co., Ltd., and
Takzin Samut Co., Ltd.

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 order, regardless of definitions in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), 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
shrimp (Penaeus brasiliensis), southern
brown shrimp (Penaeus subtilis),
southern pink shrimp (Penaeus
notialis), southern rough shrimp
(Trachypenaeus curvirostris), southern
white shrimp (Penaeus schmitti), blue
shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris), western
white shrimp (Penaeus occidentalis),
and Indian white prawn (Penaeus
indicus).
Frozen shrimp and prawns that are
packed with marinade, spices or sauce
are included in the scope of this order.
In addition, food preparations, which
are not ‘‘prepared meals,’’ that contain
more than 20 percent by weight of
shrimp or prawn are also included in
the scope of this order.
Excluded from the scope are: (1)
Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTSUS
subheading 1605.20.10.20); (2) shrimp
and prawns generally classified in the
Pandalidae family and commonly
referred to as coldwater shrimp, in any
state of processing; (3) fresh shrimp and
prawns whether shell-on or peeled
(HTSUS subheadings 0306.23.00.20 and
0306.23.00.40); (4) shrimp and prawns
in prepared meals (HTSUS subheading
1605.20.05.10); (5) dried shrimp and
prawns; (6) canned warmwater shrimp
and prawns (HTSUS subheading
1605.20.10.40); (7) certain dusted
shrimp; and (8) certain battered shrimp.
Dusted shrimp is a shrimp-based
product: (1) That is produced from fresh
(or thawed-from-frozen) and peeled
shrimp; (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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:14 Jul 11, 2011
Jkt 223001
between four and ten percent of the
product’s total weight after being
dusted, but prior to being frozen; and (5)
that is subjected to IQF freezing
immediately after application of the
dusting layer. Battered shrimp is a
shrimp-based product that, when dusted
in accordance with the definition of
dusting above, is coated with a wet
viscous layer containing egg and/or
milk, and par-fried.
The products covered by this order
are currently classified under the
following HTSUS subheadings:
0306.13.00.03, 0306.13.00.06,
0306.13.00.09, 0306.13.00.12,
0306.13.00.15, 0306.13.00.18,
0306.13.00.21, 0306.13.00.24,
0306.13.00.27, 0306.13.00.40,
1605.20.10.10, and 1605.20.10.30. These
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and for customs purposes
only and are not dispositive, but rather
the written description of the scope of
this order is dispositive.
Period of Review
The POR is February 1, 2009, through
January 31, 2010.
Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
we received no-shipment claims from
14 companies named in the Initiation
Notice, and we confirmed the claims
from 12 of these companies with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Because we find that the record
indicates that these 12 companies did
not export subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR, we
determine that they had no reviewable
transactions during the POR. These
companies are:
(1) American Commercial Transport,
Inc.
(2) Ampai Frozen Food Co., Ltd.
(3) Far East Cold Storage Co., Ltd.
(4) Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
(5) Inter-Oceanic Resources Co., Ltd.
(6) Leo Transport Corporation Ltd.3
(7) Mahachai Food Processing Co., Ltd.
(8) S. Khonkaen Food Industry Public
Co., Ltd.
(9) Siam Marine Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
(10) Siam Ocean Frozen Foods Co. Ltd.
(11) Thai Union Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
(12) V. Thai Food Product Co., Ltd.4
See Preliminary Results, 76 FR at
12035–12036.
As we stated in the Preliminary
Results, our former practice concerning
respondents submitting timely noshipment certifications was to rescind

as V Thai Food Product.

the administrative review with respect
to those companies if we were able to
confirm the no-shipment certifications
through a no-shipment inquiry with
CBP. See Antidumping Duties;
Countervailing Duties; Final rule, 62 FR
27296, 27393 (May 19, 1997); see also
Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils
from Taiwan: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 75 FR 76700, 76701 (Dec. 9,
2010). As a result, in such
circumstances, we normally instructed
CBP to liquidate any entries from the
no-shipment company at the deposit
rate in effect on the date of entry.
In our May 6, 2003, clarification of the
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation, we
explained that, where respondents in an
administrative review demonstrate that
they had no knowledge of sales through
resellers to the United States, we would
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the all-others rate applicable to the
proceeding. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment
Policy Notice).
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
because ‘‘as entered’’ liquidation
instructions do not alleviate the
concerns which the May 2003
clarification was intended to address,
we find it appropriate in this case to
instruct CBP to liquidate any existing
entries of merchandise produced by the
above listed companies and exported by
other parties at the all-others rate. In
addition, we continue to find that it is
more consistent with the May 2003
clarification not to rescind the review in
part in these circumstances but, rather,
to complete the review with respect to
the 12 companies listed above and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of this
administrative review. See the
‘‘Assessment Rates’’ section of this
notice below.
With respect to the two companies
which submitted deficient statements of
no shipments during the POR, A.
Wattanachai Frozen Products Co., Ltd.
(Wattanachai) and Calsonic Kansei
(Thailand) Co., Ltd.’s (Calsonic), we
continue to find that there is insufficient
evidence on the record of this review to
conclude that these companies made no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.
Therefore, we are continuing to include
both companies in this administrative
review for the final results.
Cost of Production
As discussed in the Preliminary
Results, we conducted an investigation
to determine whether MRG and Pakfood
E:\FR\FM\12JYN1.SGM
12JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 133 / Tuesday, July 12, 2011 / Notices
made home market sales of the foreign
like product during the POR at prices
below their costs of production (COP)
within the meaning of section 773(b) of
the Act. See Preliminary Results, 76 FR
at 12039–12040. For these final results,
we performed the cost test following the
same methodology as in the Preliminary
Results.
We found 20 percent or more of each
respondent’s sales of a given product
during the reporting period were at
prices less than the weighted-average
COP for this period. Thus, we
determined that these below-cost sales
were made in ‘‘substantial quantities’’
within an extended period of time and
at prices which did not permit the
recovery of all costs within a reasonable
period of time in the normal course of
trade. See sections 773(b)(1)–(2) of the
Act.
Therefore, for purposes of these final
results, we continue to find that MRG
and Pakfood made below-cost sales not
in the ordinary course of trade.
Consequently, we disregarded these
sales for each respondent and used the
remaining sales as the basis for
determining NV pursuant to section
773(b)(1) of the Act. For those U.S. sales
of subject merchandise for which there
were no home market sales in the
ordinary course of trade, we compared
constructed export prices or export
prices, as appropriate, to constructed
value in accordance with section
773(a)(4) of the Act.

Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
because MRG and Pakfood reported the
entered value for certain of their U.S.
sales, we have calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the sales for which
entered value was reported. To
determine whether the duty assessment
rates are de minimis, in accordance with
the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we have calculated
importer-specific ad valorem ratios
based on the entered value.

Jkt 223001
For the remainder of MRG’s and
Pakfood’s U.S. sales, we note that these
companies did not report the entered
value for the U.S. sales in question.
Therefore, we have calculated importerspecific per-unit duty assessment rates
by aggregating the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales and dividing this
amount by the total quantity of those
sales. With respect to MRG’s and
Pakfood’s U.S. sales of shrimp with
sauce for which no entered value was
reported, we have included the total
quantity of the merchandise with sauce
in the denominator of the calculation of
the importer-specific rate because CBP
will apply the per-unit duty rate to the
total quantity of merchandise entered,
including the sauce weight. To
determine whether the duty assessment

rates are de minimis, in accordance with
the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we have calculated
importer-specific ad valorem ratios
based on the estimated entered value.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we have
assigned these companies Pakfood’s rate
for the final results, as this rate is the
only calculated rate above de minimis.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
will instruct CBP to liquidate without
regard to antidumping duties any
entries for which the assessment rate is
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent).
The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these
final results of review.
The Department clarified its

This notice 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 antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final No Shipment
Determination
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 4, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from
Thailand. This review covers 152 producers/exporters of the subject
merchandise to the United States. The period of review (POR) is
February 1, 2009, through January 31, 2010.
Based on our analysis of the comments received on the preliminary
results, we have made certain changes in the margin calculations.
Therefore, the final results differ from the preliminary results. The
final weighted-average dumping margins for the reviewed firms are
listed below in the section entitled ``Final Results of Review.''
DATES: Effective Date: July 12, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Blaine Wiltse or Holly Phelps, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 2, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

6345 or (202) 482-0656, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers 152 producers/exporters. The respondents which
the Department selected for individual examination are Marine Gold
Products, Ltd. (MRG) and Pakfood Public Company Limited and its
affiliated subsidiaries (collectively, ``Pakfood'').\1\ The respondents
which were not selected for individual examination are listed in the
``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ These subsidiaries are: Asia Pacific (Thailand) Company
Ltd., Chaophraya Cold Storage Co., Ltd., Okeanos Co., Ltd., Okeanos
Food Co., Ltd., and Takzin Samut Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 4, 2011, the Department published in the Federal Register
the preliminary results of administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on shrimp from Thailand. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp
From Thailand: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary No Shipment Determination, 76 FR 12033 (Mar. 4,
2011) (Preliminary Results). We invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results.
In April 2011, we received case and rebuttal briefs from the Ad Hoc
Shrimp Trade Action Committee (the petitioner), the American Shrimp
Processors Association and the Louisiana Shrimp Association
(collectively, ``the processors''), MRG, and Pakfood.
The Department has conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes certain frozen warmwater shrimp
and prawns, whether wild-caught (ocean harvested) or farm-raised
(produced by aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shell-on or peeled,
tail-on or tail-off,\2\
[[Page 40882]]
deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or otherwise processed in
frozen form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ ``Tails'' in this context means the tail fan, which includes
the telson and the uropods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The frozen warmwater shrimp and prawn products included in the
scope of this order, regardless of definitions in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 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 shrimp (Penaeus brasiliensis), southern brown shrimp
(Penaeus subtilis), southern pink shrimp (Penaeus notialis), southern
rough shrimp (Trachypenaeus curvirostris), southern white shrimp
(Penaeus schmitti), blue shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris), western white
shrimp (Penaeus occidentalis), and Indian white prawn (Penaeus
indicus).
Frozen shrimp and prawns that are packed with marinade, spices or
sauce are included in the scope of this order. In addition, food
preparations, which are not ``prepared meals,'' that contain more than
20 percent by weight of shrimp or prawn are also included in the scope
of this order.
Excluded from the scope are: (1) Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTSUS
subheading 1605.20.10.20); (2) shrimp and prawns generally classified
in the Pandalidae family and commonly referred to as coldwater shrimp,
in any state of processing; (3) fresh shrimp and prawns whether shell-
on or peeled (HTSUS subheadings 0306.23.00.20 and 0306.23.00.40); (4)
shrimp and prawns in prepared meals (HTSUS subheading 1605.20.05.10);
(5) dried shrimp and prawns; (6) canned warmwater shrimp and prawns
(HTSUS subheading 1605.20.10.40); (7) certain dusted shrimp; and (8)
certain battered shrimp. Dusted shrimp is a shrimp-based product: (1)
That is produced from fresh (or thawed-from-frozen) and peeled shrimp;
(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 ten
percent of the product's total weight after being dusted, but prior to
being frozen; and (5) that is subjected to IQF freezing immediately
after application of the dusting layer. Battered shrimp is a shrimp-
based product that, when dusted in accordance with the definition of
dusting above, is coated with a wet viscous layer containing egg and/or
milk, and par-fried.
The products covered by this order are currently classified under
the following HTSUS subheadings: 0306.13.00.03, 0306.13.00.06,
0306.13.00.09, 0306.13.00.12, 0306.13.00.15, 0306.13.00.18,
0306.13.00.21, 0306.13.00.24, 0306.13.00.27, 0306.13.00.40,
1605.20.10.10, and 1605.20.10.30. These HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and for customs purposes only and are not dispositive,
but rather the written description of the scope of this order is
dispositive.
Period of Review
The POR is February 1, 2009, through January 31, 2010.
Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results, we received no-shipment claims
from 14 companies named in the Initiation Notice, and we confirmed the
claims from 12 of these companies with U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP). Because we find that the record indicates that these
12 companies did not export subject merchandise to the United States
during the POR, we determine that they had no reviewable transactions
during the POR. These companies are:
(1) American Commercial Transport, Inc.
(2) Ampai Frozen Food Co., Ltd.
(3) Far East Cold Storage Co., Ltd.
(4) Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
(5) Inter-Oceanic Resources Co., Ltd.
(6) Leo Transport Corporation Ltd.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ This company was listed in the Initiation Notice as Leo
Transports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(7) Mahachai Food Processing Co., Ltd.
(8) S. Khonkaen Food Industry Public Co., Ltd.
(9) Siam Marine Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
(10) Siam Ocean Frozen Foods Co. Ltd.
(11) Thai Union Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
(12) V. Thai Food Product Co., Ltd.\4\
\4\ This company was listed in the Initiation Notice as V Thai
Food Product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
See Preliminary Results, 76 FR at 12035-12036.
As we stated in the Preliminary Results, our former practice
concerning respondents submitting timely no-shipment certifications was
to rescind the administrative review with respect to those companies if
we were able to confirm the no-shipment certifications through a no-
shipment inquiry with CBP. See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing
Duties; Final rule, 62 FR 27296, 27393 (May 19, 1997); see also
Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Taiwan: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 76700, 76701 (Dec. 9,
2010). As a result, in such circumstances, we normally instructed CBP
to liquidate any entries from the no-shipment company at the deposit
rate in effect on the date of entry.
In our May 6, 2003, clarification of the ``automatic assessment''
regulation, we explained that, where respondents in an administrative
review demonstrate that they had no knowledge of sales through
resellers to the United States, we would instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the all-others rate applicable to the proceeding. See
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment Policy
Notice).
As noted in the Preliminary Results, because ``as entered''
liquidation instructions do not alleviate the concerns which the May
2003 clarification was intended to address, we find it appropriate in
this case to instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of
merchandise produced by the above listed companies and exported by
other parties at the all-others rate. In addition, we continue to find
that it is more consistent with the May 2003 clarification not to
rescind the review in part in these circumstances but, rather, to
complete the review with respect to the 12 companies listed above and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of
this administrative review. See the ``Assessment Rates'' section of
this notice below.
With respect to the two companies which submitted deficient
statements of no shipments during the POR, A. Wattanachai Frozen
Products Co., Ltd. (Wattanachai) and Calsonic Kansei (Thailand) Co.,
Ltd.'s (Calsonic), we continue to find that there is insufficient
evidence on the record of this review to conclude that these companies
made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during
the POR. Therefore, we are continuing to include both companies in this
administrative review for the final results.
Cost of Production
As discussed in the Preliminary Results, we conducted an
investigation to determine whether MRG and Pakfood
[[Page 40883]]
made home market sales of the foreign like product during the POR at
prices below their costs of production (COP) within the meaning of
section 773(b) of the Act. See Preliminary Results, 76 FR at 12039-
12040. For these final results, we performed the cost test following
the same methodology as in the Preliminary Results.
We found 20 percent or more of each respondent's sales of a given
product during the reporting period were at prices less than the
weighted-average COP for this period. Thus, we determined that these
below-cost sales were made in ``substantial quantities'' within an
extended period of time and at prices which did not permit the recovery
of all costs within a reasonable period of time in the normal course of
trade. See sections 773(b)(1)-(2) of the Act.
Therefore, for purposes of these final results, we continue to find
that MRG and Pakfood made below-cost sales not in the ordinary course
of trade. Consequently, we disregarded these sales for each respondent
and used the remaining sales as the basis for determining NV pursuant
to section 773(b)(1) of the Act. For those U.S. sales of subject
merchandise for which there were no home market sales in the ordinary
course of trade, we compared constructed export prices or export
prices, as appropriate, to constructed value in accordance with section
773(a)(4) of the Act.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs by parties to this
administrative review, are listed in the Appendix to this notice and
addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum (Decision Memo), which
is adopted by this notice. Parties can find a complete discussion of
all issues raised in this review and the corresponding recommendations
in this public memorandum, which is on file in the Central Records
Unit, room 7046, of the main Department building.
In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memo can be
accessed directly on the Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/. The paper
copy and electronic version of the Decision Memo are identical in
content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made
certain changes in the margin calculations. These changes are discussed
in the relevant sections of the Decision Memo.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average margin percentages
exist for the period February 1, 2009, through January 31, 2010:

Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because MRG and Pakfood reported
the entered value for certain of their U.S. sales, we have calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of the sales for which entered value
was reported. To determine whether the duty assessment rates are de
minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we have calculated importer-specific ad valorem ratios
based on the entered value.
For the remainder of MRG's and Pakfood's U.S. sales, we note that
these companies did not report the entered value for the U.S. sales in
question. Therefore, we have calculated importer-specific per-unit duty
assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales and dividing this amount by the total
quantity of those sales. With respect to MRG's and Pakfood's U.S. sales
of shrimp with sauce for which no entered value was reported, we have
included the total quantity of the merchandise with sauce in the
denominator of the calculation of the importer-specific rate because
CBP will apply the per-unit duty rate to the total quantity of
merchandise entered, including the sauce weight. To determine whether
the duty assessment rates are de minimis, in accordance with the
requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we have calculated
importer-specific ad valorem ratios based on the estimated entered
value.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
have assigned these companies Pakfood's rate for the final results, as
this rate is the only calculated rate above de minimis.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate
without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which the
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent). The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
[[Page 40886]]
May 6, 2003. See Assessment Policy Notice. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
companies included in these final results of review for which the
reviewed companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established in the Section
129 Determination \6\ if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Implementation of the Findings of the WTO Panel in
United States Antidumping Measure on Shrimp from Thailand: Notice of
Determination under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
and Partial Revocation of the Antidumping Duty Order on Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand, 74 FR 5638 (Jan. 30, 2009) (Section
129 Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise \7\ entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the reviewed
companies will be the rates shown above, except if the rate is less
than 0.50 percent, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), the cash deposit will be zero; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, as well as those
companies listed in the ``Determination of No Shipments'' section,
above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific
rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, or the less-than-fair-value investigation,
but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 5.34 percent, the all-others rate made
effective by the Section 129 Determination. These deposit requirements
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ On April 26, 2011, the Department amended the scope of the
antidumping duty orders on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from
Brazil, India, the People's Republic of China, Thailand, and the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam to include dusted shrimp within the
scope of the orders. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From
Brazil, India, the People's Republic of China, Thailand, and the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Amended Antidumping Duty Orders in
Accordance with Final Court Decision, 76 FR 23277, 23279 (Apr. 26,
2011). Accordingly, for all entries made on or after April 26, 2011,
we will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits on imports of the
subject merchandise (including dusted shrimp) entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption at the rates noted above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these results of review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: July 5, 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
