Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp
From the People’s Republic of China:
Notice of Preliminary Reconsideration
of Changed Circumstances Review
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) has received
information sufficient to warrant
reconsideration of a completed changed
circumstances review (‘‘CCR’’) of the
antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)
originally conducted in 2007.1 Based on
evidence uncovered in the sixth
administrative review (‘‘AR6’’) of this
proceeding,2 we find the information
submitted by Hilltop International
(‘‘Hilltop’’) 3 in this CCR contains
material misrepresentations and,
consequently, is unusable for any
purposes. Accordingly, our original
determination that Hilltop is the
successor-in-interest to Yelin Enterprise
Co. Hong Kong (‘‘Yelin’’) is
preliminarily reversed such that Hilltop
should properly be considered part of
the PRC-wide entity, absent a
determination of its own rate, separate
from the PRC-wide entity.4

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Yelin was formally dissolved on
December 12, 2006.5 On March 16,
2007, Hilltop filed a submission
requesting that the Department conduct
a CCR of the antidumping duty order on
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from
the PRC to confirm that Hilltop is the
successor-in-interest to Yelin.6 On May
2, 2007, the Department published a
combined initiation and preliminary
results finding that Hilltop was the
successor-in-interest to Yelin.7 On June
18, 2007, this finding was confirmed in
the final results of this CCR.8
On December 5, 2012, we determined
that we would reconsider this CCR
determination in light of certain
evidence discovered in AR6.9 On
December 13, 2012, the Department
placed public documents submitted in
AR6 on the record of this proceeding.10
On December 17, 2012, the Department
placed documents containing business
proprietary information obtained during
the first administrative review and AR6
on the record of this proceeding.11
On December 31, 2012, the
Department received comments from
Petitioner on the documents placed on
the record of this CCR.12 On January 7,

The merchandise that is subject to the
order is certain frozen warmwater

certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the People's Republic of China

that Hilltop is the successor-in-interest to Yelin Enterprise Co. Hong
Kong (``Yelin'') is preliminarily reversed such that Hilltop should

Scope of Order
The merchandise that is subject to the order is certain frozen
warmwater shrimp from the PRC. The products subject to the order at the
time of this CCR was originally conducted \14\ were classified under
U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (``HTSUS'') subheadings 0306.13.00.03,

subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise remains dispositive.\15\

\14\ We note that on April 26, 2011, the Department amended the
antidumping duty order to include dusted shrimp, pursuant to the
U.S. Court of International Trade (``CIT'') decision in Ad Hoc
Shrimp Trade Action Committee v. United States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330
(CIT 2010) and the U.S. International Trade Commission
determination, which found the domestic like product to include
dusted shrimp. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Brazil,
