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) (Sunset Initiation). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of the domestic interested party and adequate substantive responses from the respondent interested parties, the Department determined to conduct a full sunset review of this CVD order pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(2). As a result of our analysis, the Department finds that revocation of the CVD order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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. 
Phoenix Salmon U.S., Inc. (Phoenix Salmon), the domestic interested 
party, timely filed a notice of intent to participate and submitted a 
substantive response to the Department. The Government of Norway (GON), 
the Norwegian Seafood Federation, and Aquaculture Division of the 
Norwegian Seafood Association, the respondent interested parties, also 
submitted to the Department a substantive response.
    Based on a finding that the substantive responses were adequate, we 
determined to conduct a full sunset review of this CVD order. See 
Memorandum to Gary Taverman, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/
CVD Operations, from Melissa Skinner, Director, AD/CVD 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 June 28, 2011, the Department published the preliminary results 
of this full sunset review, finding a likelihood of continuation or 
recurrence of subsidization with a net countervailable subsidy likely 
to prevail of 2.20 percent ad valorem for all producers/exporters of 
subject merchandise from Norway. See Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon 
From Norway: Preliminary Results of Full Third Sunset Review of 
Countervailing Duty Order, 76 FR 37786 (June 28, 2011).
    Interested parties were invited to comment on the preliminary 
results. On September 7, 2011, we received a case brief from the GON, 
and on September 12, 2011, we received a rebuttal brief from Phoenix 
Salmon. We did not conduct a hearing because a hearing was not 
requested.

Scope of the Order

(Salmo Salar) marketed as specified herein; the order excludes all 
other species of salmon: Danube salmon, Chinook (also called ``king''

``blueback''), Humpback (``pink'') and Chum (``dog'').\1\ 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
