Reviews,8 because the weighted-average
dumping margins for these two
companies are de minimis or zero, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.9
For the companies which were not
selected for individual examination, we
have used as the assessment rate the
cash deposit rate assigned to these
exporters, in accordance with our
practice. See, e.g., Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp From India: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review and Final No
Shipment Determination, 77 FR 48048,
40853 (July 11, 2012).
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
May 6, 2003. See Assessment Policy
Notice. This clarification applies 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 that the merchandise they
sold to an intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation if there
is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction. See Assessment Policy
Notice for a full discussion of this
clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
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

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 10.17
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation.10 These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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.
This administrative review and notice
are published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.

SUMMARY: On March 12, 2013, 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. The period of review (POR) is
February 1, 2011, through January 31,
2012. Based on our analysis of the
comments received, 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 the Review.’’ We have also
determined to revoke the antidumping
duty order with respect to shrimp from
Thailand produced and exported by
Marine Gold Products Limited (MRG)
and to rescind the review with respect
to two firms. Finally, we find that 11
companies had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR.
DATES: Effective Date: July 16, 2013.

Background
This review covers 149 1 producers/
exporters. The respondents which the
Department selected for individual
examination are MRG and Thai Union
Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd./Thai
Union Seafood Co., Ltd. (collectively,
Thai Union). The respondents which
were not selected for individual

examination are listed in the ‘‘Final
Results of the Review’’ section of this
notice.
On March 12, 2013, the Department
published the Preliminary Results.2
On April 2, 2013, we notified parties
of our intent to rescind the review for
a company not selected for individual
examination, Kosamut Frozen Foods
Co., Ltd. (Kosamut) because it is neither
a producer nor an exporter of subject
merchandise.3 We provided parties an
opportunity to comment on this
preliminary decision. No party
commented on the intent to rescind the
review for Kosamut. Also in April 2013,
we received case and rebuttal briefs
from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action
Committee (the petitioner), the
American Shrimp Processors
Association, as well as from MRG and
Thai Union (collectively, ‘‘the
respondents’’) regarding the Preliminary
Results.
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 merchandise subject to the order
is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.4
The product is currently classified
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings: 0306.17.00.03,
0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09,

1605.29.10.10. Although the HTSUS
numbers are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
product description remains dispositive.
Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
we received no-shipment claims from

Notice.5 We confirmed the claims of 11
of these companies with U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP). Therefore,
because we find that the record
indicates that the 11 companies listed
below 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) Anglo-Siam Seafoods Ltd.
(2) Daedong (Thailand) Co. Ltd.
(3) Leo Transport Corporation Ltd.
(4) Grobest Frozen Foods Co.
(5) Lucky Union Foods Co., Ltd.
(6) Namprick Maesri Ltd. Part.
(7) S&P Syndicate Public Company
Ltd.
(8) S.K. Foods (Thailand) Public Co.
Limited
(9) Siamchai International Food Co.,
Ltd.
(10) Thai Union Manufacturing
Company Limited
(11) V. Thai Food Product Co., Ltd.
See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 15687.
As we stated in the Preliminary
Results,6 our former practice concerning
respondents submitting timely noshipment 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.7 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.8 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 allothers rate.9 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 11 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 remaining
companies (i.e., C Y Frozen Food Co.,
Ltd. (C Y Frozen Food) and Kosamut),
the no-shipment claims received from
these companies contained procedural
deficiencies.10 One of these companies,
C Y Frozen Food did not remedy the
deficiencies prior to these final results.
Specifically, we find that there is
insufficient evidence on the record of
this review to conclude C Y Frozen
Food made no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR because it failed to certify its
statement of no shipments in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(g)(1),
despite the Department’s request that it
do so. Therefore, we have continued to
assign it a final dumping margin based
on the average of the rates calculated for
the mandatory respondents.
Regarding Kosamut, the no-shipment
statement received from this company
related only to its own exports and not
also to those of another affiliated
exporter which has, to date, been treated
as the same entity as Kosamut for cash
deposit purposes. After receiving
additional data from Kosamut regarding
its relationship with this affiliate, as
well as its production facilities and
product line, we find that it is
appropriate to rescind the review for
this company. For further discussion,
see the ‘‘Rescission, in Part’’ section of
this notice, below.
Rescission, in Part
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department found that Tanaya
International Co., Ltd. and Tanaya Intl.
(collectively, Tanaya) is neither an
exporter nor a manufacturer of the
subject merchandise, and it made no
entries, exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise during the POR. Because
no party has commented on this
preliminary finding, we continue to find
that Tanaya is not an exporter or
producer, as defined in 19 CFR
351.213(b), and, accordingly, the
Department is rescinding the review

Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 15690.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 16, 2013 / Notices
with respect to Tanaya, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Similarly, in March 2013, at our
request, we received information from
Kosamut indicating that: (1) This
company is not a producer or exporter
of subject merchandise; and (2) it shares
no sales information, production
facilities, or employees with The Siam
Union Frozen Foods Co., Ltd (Siam
Union), an affiliated shrimp producer
also involved in this administrative
review. After analyzing this
information, in April 2013, we
preliminarily found that Kosamut and
Siam Union are separate entities for
purposes of this proceeding. Therefore,
we announced our intention to rescind
the review for Kosamut because it is not
an exporter or producer of subject
merchandise.11 Because no party has
commented on this preliminary finding,
we continue to find that Kosamut and
Siam Union are separate entities, and
we are rescinding the review for
Kosamut, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
Determination To Revoke Order, In
Part
The Department may revoke, in whole
or in part, an antidumping duty order
upon completion of a review under
section 751 of the Act.12 While Congress
has not specified the procedures that the
Department must follow in revoking an
order, the Department has developed a
procedure for revocation that is
described in 19 CFR 351.222. This
regulation requires, inter alia, that a
company requesting revocation must
submit the following: 1) a certification
that the company has sold the subject
merchandise at not less than normal
value (NV) in the current review period
and that the company will not sell
subject merchandise at less than NV in
the future; 2) a certification that the
company sold commercial quantities of
the subject merchandise to the United
States in each of the three years forming
the basis of the request; and 3) an
agreement to immediate reinstatement
of the order if the Department concludes
that the company, subsequent to the
revocation, sold subject merchandise at
11 See
the Kosamut Rescission Memo.
May 2012, the Department amended its
regulations to eliminate the provision for revocation
of an antidumping or countervailing duty order
with respect to individual exporters or producers
based on those individual exporters or producers
having received antidumping rates of zero for three
consecutive years. See Modification to Regulation
Concerning the Revocation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders, 77 FR 29875 (May 21,
2012). The Department’s amendment applies to all
reviews initiated on or after June 20, 2012. The
instant review was initiated in April 2012.

less than NV.13 Upon receipt of such a
request to revoke an order in part, the
Department will consider: (1) Whether
the company in question has sold
subject merchandise at not less than NV
for a period of at least three consecutive
years; (2) whether the company has
agreed in writing to its immediate
reinstatement in the order, as long as
any exporter or producer is subject to
the order, if the Department concludes
that the company, subsequent to the
revocation, sold the subject
merchandise at less than NV; and (3)
whether the continued application of
the antidumping duty order is otherwise
necessary to offset dumping.14
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
MRG submitted the proper certifications
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(e), and
requested revocation of the antidumping
duty order, in part, based on an absence
of dumping for at least three
consecutive years. With regard to the
criteria of 19 CFR 351.222(b)(2), based
on our examination of the data
submitted by MRG, we determine that it
sold the subject merchandise in the
United States in commercial quantities
in each of the consecutive years cited by
MRG to support its request for
revocation.15 Moreover, we find that
MRG did not engage in dumping during
the same three years under
consideration. Specifically, our final
margin calculations show that MRG sold
shrimp at not less than NV during the
current review period. In addition, MRG
sold shrimp at not less than NV in the
previous administrative review in
which it was individually examined.16
Moreover, in the course of the current
review, we examined MRG’s sales and
cost data from the 2010–2011
administrative review period for the
purpose of determining MRG’s
eligibility for revocation and determined
that MRG did not engage in dumping
during the 2010–2011 review period.17
Therefore, we determine that MRG’s
exports of subject merchandise qualify
for revocation from the order pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.222(b)(2).
19 CFR 351.222(e)(1).

Also, we find that application of the
antidumping duty order to MRG is no
longer warranted because: (1) MRG has
agreed to immediate reinstatement of
the order if the Department finds that it
has resumed making sales at less than
NV; and (2) the continued application of
the order is not otherwise necessary to
offset dumping based on our review of
the record. Therefore, we find that MRG
qualifies for revocation of the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from
Thailand under 19 CFR 351.222(b)(2).
Accordingly, we are revoking the order
with respect to subject merchandise
produced and exported by MRG. For
further discussion, see the Issues and
Decision Memo at Comment 4.
Effective Date of Revocation
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(f)(3), this
revocation applies to all entries of
subject merchandise that are produced
and exported by MRG, and are entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after February 1,
2012 (i.e., the first day after the period
under review). The Department will
order the suspension of liquidation
lifted for all such entries and will
instruct CBP to release any cash
deposits or bonds. The Department will
further instruct CBP to refund with
interest any cash deposits on entries
made on or after February 1, 2012.

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed within five days of the date
of publication of this notice to parties in
this proceeding in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the
Department has determined, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise and deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable, in accordance
with the final results of this review. The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results
of review.
Pursuant to the Final Modification for
Reviews,19 because the respondents’
weighted-average dumping margins are
zero, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.20

Notice. This clarification applies 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 that the merchandise they
sold to an intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation if there
is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction. See Assessment Policy
Notice for a full discussion of this
clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rates for the reviewed firms
will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margins established in the
final results of this administrative
review (i.e., zero percent); (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 recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a previous review, or the
original LTFV investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most

or exporters will continue to be 5.34
percent, the all-others rate made
effective by the Section 129
Determination.21 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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

The U.S. Department of
Commerce (DOC) announces that it will
accept applications for the International
Buyer Program (IBP) Select service for
calendar year 2014 (January 1, 2014
through December 31, 2014). This
announcement sets out the objectives,
procedures and application review
criteria for IBP Select. Under the IBP
Select the International Trade
Administration (ITA) recruits
international buyers to U.S. trade shows
to meet with U.S suppliers exhibiting at
those shows. The main difference
between IBP and IBP Select is that IBP
offers worldwide promotion, whereas
IBP Select focuses on promotion and
recruitment in no more than five
international markets. Specifically,
through the IBP Select, the DOC selects

The IBP
was established in the Omnibus Trade
and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Pub.
L. 100–418, title II, § 2304, codified at
15 U.S.C. 4724) to bring international
buyers together with U.S. firms by
promoting leading U.S. trade shows in
industries with high export potential.
The IBP emphasizes cooperation
between the DOC and trade show
organizers to benefit U.S. firms
exhibiting at selected events and
provides practical, hands-on assistance
such as export counseling and market
analysis to U.S. companies interested in
exporting. Shows selected for the IBP
Select will provide a venue for U.S.
companies interested in expanding their
sales into international markets.
Through the IBP, the DOC selects
trade shows that DOC determines to be
leading trade shows with participation
by U.S. firms interested in exporting.
DOC provides successful applicants
with assistance in the form of overseas
promotion of the show by U.S.
Embassies and Consulates; outreach to
show participants about exporting;
recruitment of potential buyers to attend
the events; and staff assistance in setting
up and staffing international trade
centers at the events. Targeted
promotion in no more than five markets
can be executed through the overseas
offices of ITA or in U.S. Embassies in

countries where ITA does not maintain
offices.
ITA is accepting applications for IBP
Select from trade show organizers of
trade events taking place between
January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014.
Selection of a trade show for IBP Select
is valid for one event. A trade show
organizer seeking selection for a
recurring event must submit a new
application for selection for each
occurrence of the event. For events that
occur more than once in a calendar year,
the trade show organizer must submit a
separate application for each event.
There is no fee required to submit an
application. For IBP Select in calendar
year 2014, ITA expects to select
approximately 10 events from among
the applicants. ITA will select those
events that are determined to most
clearly support the statutory mandate in
15 U.S.C. 4721 to promote U.S. exports,
especially those of small- and mediumsized enterprises, and that best meet the
selection criteria articulated below.
Once selected, applicants will be
required to enter into a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) with the DOC, and
submit payment of the $6,000 2014
participation fee within 30 days of
written notification of acceptance into
IBP Select. The MOA constitutes an
agreement between the DOC and the
show organizer specifying which
responsibilities for international
promotion and export assistance
services at the trade shows are to be
undertaken by the DOC as part of the
IBP Select and, in turn, which
responsibilities are to be undertaken by
the show organizer. Anyone requesting
application information will be sent a
sample copy of the MOA along with the
link to the online application form and
a copy of this Federal Register Notice.
Applicants are encouraged to review the
MOA closely, as IBP Select participants
are expected to comply with all terms,
conditions, and obligations in the MOA.
Trade show organizer obligations
include the construction of an
International Trade Center at the trade
show, production of an export interest
directory, and provision of
complimentary hotel accommodations
for DOC staff as explained in the MOA.
The responsibilities to be undertaken by
the DOC will be carried out by ITA. ITA
responsibilities include targeted
promotion of the trade show and, where
feasible, recruitment of international
buyers to that show from the five target
markets identified, provision of on-site
export assistance to U.S. exhibitors at
the show, and the reporting of results to
the show organizer.
For this selection cycle only, ITA is
piloting the opportunity for selected

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial Rescission of Review,
and Revocation of Order (in Part); 2011-2012
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 12, 2013, 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. The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2011, through
January 31, 2012. Based on our analysis of the comments received, 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 the Review.'' We have also
determined to revoke the antidumping duty order with respect to shrimp
from Thailand produced and exported by Marine Gold Products Limited
(MRG) and to rescind the review with respect to two firms. Finally, we
find that 11 companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during
the POR.
DATES: Effective Date: July 16, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Blaine Wiltse or Dennis McClure, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 2, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

or (202) 482-5973, respectively.
Background
This review covers 149 \1\ producers/exporters. The respondents
which the Department selected for individual examination are MRG and
Thai Union Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd./Thai Union Seafood Co.,
Ltd. (collectively, Thai Union). The respondents which were not
selected for individual
[[Page 42498]]
examination are listed in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section
of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ This figure does not include those companies for which the
Department is rescinding the administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 12, 2013, the Department published the Preliminary
Results.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and
Intent To Revoke the Order (in Part); 2011-2012, 78 FR 15686 (Mar.
12, 2013) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 2, 2013, we notified parties of our intent to rescind the
review for a company not selected for individual examination, Kosamut
Frozen Foods Co., Ltd. (Kosamut) because it is neither a producer nor
an exporter of subject merchandise.\3\ We provided parties an
opportunity to comment on this preliminary decision. No party commented
on the intent to rescind the review for Kosamut. Also in April 2013, we
received case and rebuttal briefs from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action
Committee (the petitioner), the American Shrimp Processors Association,
as well as from MRG and Thai Union (collectively, ``the respondents'')
regarding the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See the Memorandum from Dennis McClure, Senior Analyst,
Office 2, to James Maeder, Director, Office 2, entitled ``Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand: Intent to Rescind Review for Kosamut
Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.,'' dated April 2, 2013 (Kosamut Rescission
Memo).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater

Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results, we received no-shipment claims
from 13 companies named in the Initiation Notice.\5\ We confirmed the
claims of 11 of these companies with U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP). Therefore, because we find that the record indicates that the 11
companies listed below 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:

Reviews and Request for Revocation of Order in Part, 77 FR 19612

See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 15687.
As we stated in the Preliminary Results,\6\ 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.\7\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

and Strip in Coils from Taiwan: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 75 FR 76700, 76701 (Dec. 9, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\8\ 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.\9\ 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 11 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.

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With respect to the two remaining companies (i.e., C Y Frozen Food
Co., Ltd. (C Y Frozen Food) and Kosamut), the no-shipment claims
received from these companies contained procedural deficiencies.\10\
One of these companies, C Y Frozen Food did not remedy the deficiencies
prior to these final results. Specifically, we find that there is
insufficient evidence on the record of this review to conclude C Y
Frozen Food made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR because it failed to certify its statement of no
shipments in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(g)(1), despite the
Department's request that it do so. Therefore, we have continued to
assign it a final dumping margin based on the average of the rates
calculated for the mandatory respondents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See id., 78 FR at 15687.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding Kosamut, the no-shipment statement received from this
company related only to its own exports and not also to those of
another affiliated exporter which has, to date, been treated as the
same entity as Kosamut for cash deposit purposes. After receiving
additional data from Kosamut regarding its relationship with this
affiliate, as well as its production facilities and product line, we
find that it is appropriate to rescind the review for this company. For
further discussion, see the ``Rescission, in Part'' section of this
notice, below.
Rescission, in Part
In the Preliminary Results, the Department found that Tanaya
International Co., Ltd. and Tanaya Intl. (collectively, Tanaya) is
neither an exporter nor a manufacturer of the subject merchandise, and
it made no entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise during
the POR. Because no party has commented on this preliminary finding, we
continue to find that Tanaya is not an exporter or producer, as defined
in 19 CFR 351.213(b), and, accordingly, the Department is rescinding
the review
[[Page 42499]]
with respect to Tanaya, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Similarly, in March 2013, at our request, we received information
from Kosamut indicating that: (1) This company is not a producer or
exporter of subject merchandise; and (2) it shares no sales
information, production facilities, or employees with The Siam Union
Frozen Foods Co., Ltd (Siam Union), an affiliated shrimp producer also
involved in this administrative review. After analyzing this
information, in April 2013, we preliminarily found that Kosamut and
Siam Union are separate entities for purposes of this proceeding.
Therefore, we announced our intention to rescind the review for Kosamut
because it is not an exporter or producer of subject merchandise.\11\
Because no party has commented on this preliminary finding, we continue
to find that Kosamut and Siam Union are separate entities, and we are
rescinding the review for Kosamut, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See the Kosamut Rescission Memo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Determination To Revoke Order, In Part
The Department may revoke, in whole or in part, an antidumping duty
order upon completion of a review under section 751 of the Act.\12\
While Congress has not specified the procedures that the Department
must follow in revoking an order, the Department has developed a
procedure for revocation that is described in 19 CFR 351.222. This
regulation requires, inter alia, that a company requesting revocation
must submit the following: 1) a certification that the company has sold
the subject merchandise at not less than normal value (NV) in the
current review period and that the company will not sell subject
merchandise at less than NV in the future; 2) a certification that the
company sold commercial quantities of the subject merchandise to the
United States in each of the three years forming the basis of the
request; and 3) an agreement to immediate reinstatement of the order if
the Department concludes that the company, subsequent to the
revocation, sold subject merchandise at less than NV.\13\ Upon receipt
of such a request to revoke an order in part, the Department will
consider: (1) Whether the company in question has sold subject
merchandise at not less than NV for a period of at least three
consecutive years; (2) whether the company has agreed in writing to its
immediate reinstatement in the order, as long as any exporter or
producer is subject to the order, if the Department concludes that the
company, subsequent to the revocation, sold the subject merchandise at
less than NV; and (3) whether the continued application of the
antidumping duty order is otherwise necessary to offset dumping.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ In May 2012, the Department amended its regulations to
eliminate the provision for revocation of an antidumping or
countervailing duty order with respect to individual exporters or
producers based on those individual exporters or producers having
received antidumping rates of zero for three consecutive years. See
Modification to Regulation Concerning the Revocation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Orders, 77 FR 29875 (May 21, 2012). The
Department's amendment applies to all reviews initiated on or after
June 20, 2012. The instant review was initiated in April 2012.
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.222(e)(1).
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.222(b)(2)(i). See also Sebacic Acid From the
People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review and Determination To Revoke Order in Part, 67
FR 69719, 69720 (Nov. 19, 2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted in the Preliminary Results, MRG submitted the proper
certifications pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(e), and requested revocation
of the antidumping duty order, in part, based on an absence of dumping
for at least three consecutive years. With regard to the criteria of 19
CFR 351.222(b)(2), based on our examination of the data submitted by
MRG, we determine that it sold the subject merchandise in the United
States in commercial quantities in each of the consecutive years cited
by MRG to support its request for revocation.\15\ Moreover, we find
that MRG did not engage in dumping during the same three years under
consideration. Specifically, our final margin calculations show that
MRG sold shrimp at not less than NV during the current review period.
In addition, MRG sold shrimp at not less than NV in the previous
administrative review in which it was individually examined.\16\
Moreover, in the course of the current review, we examined MRG's sales
and cost data from the 2010-2011 administrative review period for the
purpose of determining MRG's eligibility for revocation and determined
that MRG did not engage in dumping during the 2010-2011 review
period.\17\ Therefore, we determine that MRG's exports of subject
merchandise qualify for revocation from the order pursuant to 19 CFR
351.222(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See the Memorandum to the File, from Blaine Wiltse, Senior
Analyst, Office 2, AD/CVD Operations, entitled, ``Analysis of
Commercial Quantities for Marine Gold Products Limited's Request for
Revocation,'' dated March 4, 2013.
\16\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final No
Shipment Determination, 76 FR 40881, 40883 (July 12, 2011).
\17\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 5-7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, we find that application of the antidumping duty order to MRG
is no longer warranted because: (1) MRG has agreed to immediate
reinstatement of the order if the Department finds that it has resumed
making sales at less than NV; and (2) the continued application of the
order is not otherwise necessary to offset dumping based on our review
of the record. Therefore, we find that MRG qualifies for revocation of
the antidumping duty order on shrimp from Thailand under 19 CFR
351.222(b)(2). Accordingly, we are revoking the order with respect to
subject merchandise produced and exported by MRG. For further
discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memo at Comment 4.
Effective Date of Revocation
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(f)(3), this revocation applies to all
entries of subject merchandise that are produced and exported by MRG,
and are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after February 1, 2012 (i.e., the first day after the period under
review). The Department will order the suspension of liquidation lifted
for all such entries and will instruct CBP to release any cash deposits
or bonds. The Department will further instruct CBP to refund with
interest any cash deposits on entries made on or after February 1,
2012.
Analysis of Comments Received

Memo can be accessed directly on the Internet at https://www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed Issues and Decision Memo and the electronic versions of
the Issues and Decision Memo are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made changes in
the margin calculations for MRG and Thai Union in these final results.
[[Page 42500]]
Specifically, we altered the targeted dumping analysis for MRG and Thai
Union, as well as corrected certain calculation errors and granted a
CEP offset for Thai Union. These changes are further discussed in the
relevant sections of the Issues and Decision Memo.

\*\ No shipments or sales subject to this review.
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed within five days
of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ In the 2007-2008 administrative review, the Department
found that the following companies comprised a single entity:
Pakfood Public Company Limited, Asia Pacific (Thailand) Co., Ltd.,
Chaophraya Cold Storage Co. Ltd., Okeanos Co. Ltd., Okeanos Food Co.
Ltd., and Takzin Samut Co. Ltd. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp
from Thailand: Final Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 47551 (Sept. 16, 2009), and
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 6. No party
has submitted arguments or evidence that the Department should
reconsider this single entity treatment. Accordingly, we have
continued to treat these companies as a single entity for purposes
of this administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), the Department has determined, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise
and deposits of estimated duties, where applicable, in accordance with
the final results of this review. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
these final results of review.
Pursuant to the Final Modification for Reviews,\19\ because the
respondents' weighted-average dumping margins are zero, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (Feb. 14, 2012)
(Final Modification for Reviews).
\20\ See id., 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Assessment Policy Notice. This clarification applies
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 that the merchandise they sold to an
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) 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 less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. See
Assessment Policy Notice for a full discussion of this clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results
of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the reviewed firms will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final
results of this administrative review (i.e., zero percent); (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 recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
previous review, or the original LTFV 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.\21\ These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ Effective January 16, 2009, there is no longer a cash
deposit requirement for certain producers/exporters in accordance
with the 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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
[[Page 42503]]
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 and 19 CFR 351.222.
