Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all
PRC exporters (including Hilltop and
Newpro) of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate for the PRC-wide entity; and
(3) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary 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
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.
Dated: March 18, 2014.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 56 / Monday, March 24, 2014 / Notices
The Department of Commerce
(Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from
Thailand.1 The review covers 159 2
producers/exporters of the subject
merchandise. The period of review
(POR) is February 1, 2012, through
January 31, 2013.
The Department is examining the
following exporters/producers on an
individual basis: Thai Union Frozen
Products Public Co., Ltd. and Thai
Union Seafood Co., Ltd. (collectively,
Thai Union) for the period February 1,
2012, through April 22, 2012; the
Pakfood Group 3 for the period February
1, 2012, through April 22, 2012; and
Thai Union/Pakfood for the period April
23, 2012 through January 31, 2013.4 We
preliminarily determined that sales to
the United States have been made below
normal value (NV) and, therefore, are
subject to antidumping duties. We also
are rescinding this review with respect
to Marine Gold Products Limited
(Marine Gold) because the order with
respect to shrimp produced and
exported by this company was revoked
effective February 1, 2012.
If these preliminary results are
adopted in the final results of this
review, we will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Effective Date: March 24, 2014.

SUMMARY:
1 The deadline for the preliminary results of this
review was March 17, 2014. Due to the closure of
the Federal Government in Washington, DC on
March 17, 2014, the Department reached this
determination on the next business day (i.e., March
18, 2014). See Notice of Clarification: Application
of ‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative
Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act
of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
2 This figure does not include two companies for
which the Department is rescinding the
administrative review.
3 The Pakfood Group includes the following
companies: Pakfood Public Company Limited,
Okeanos Co., Ltd., Okeanos Food Co., Ltd., Asia
Pacific (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Chaophraya Cold
Storage Co., Ltd., and Takzin Samut Co., Ltd.
(collectively, Pakfood).
4 In this review, the Department determined to
treat the Pakfood Group as a collapsed entity with
Thai Union, effective as of April 23, 2012. See the
memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, entitled, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for
the Preliminary Results of the Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand,’’ dated
concurrently with these results (Preliminary
Decision Memorandum), which is hereby adopted
by this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.5
The product is currently classified
under the following Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
item numbers: 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 for customs purposes, the written
product description remains dispositive.
Partial Rescission of Review
On July 16, 2013, the Department
published its final results for the
February 1, 2011, through January 31,
2012, administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from
Thailand.6 In that review, we found that
Marine Gold met the requirements of
revocation as described in 19 CFR
351.222(b) 7 and, thus, we revoked the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from
Thailand (Shrimp Order) with respect to
subject merchandise produced and
exported by Marine Gold. As a result of
Marine Gold’s revocation in the 2011–
2012 administrative review, we are
rescinding this administrative review
with respect to Marine Gold because the
merchandise produced and sold by
Marine Gold is not subject to the
Shrimp Order as of February 1, 2012.
Because we revoked the Shrimp Order
with respect to subject merchandise
produced and exported by Marine Gold,
we instructed CBP that entries of such
merchandise that were suspended on or

Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

AR7 Final Results).
7 The Department modified the section of its
regulations concerning the revocation of
antidumping and countervailing duty orders in
whole or in part, but that modification did not
apply to the February 1, 2011, through January 31,
2012, administrative review. See Modification to
Regulation Concerning the Revocation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 77
FR 29875 (May 21, 2012). The reference to 19 CFR
351.222(b) refers to the Department’s regulations
prior to the modification. The modification applies
to the instant administrative review.

after February 1, 2012, should be

antidumping duties.
In addition, in the Shrimp AR7 Final
Results, the Department determined that
one non-selected respondent, Tanaya
International Co., Ltd. (Tanaya) is nether
an exporter nor a manufacturer of
subject merchandise, as defined in 19
CFR 351.213(b), and, accordingly, we
rescinded the review with respect to
this entity. Consistent with our finding
in the AR7 Final Results, and because
Tanaya is not an interested party in this
proceeding, we find our initiation with
respect to Tanaya was improper, and we
are rescinding this review with respect
to this company.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Among the companies under review,
13 companies properly filed statements
reporting that they made no shipments
of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.8 Based on the
certifications submitted by all 13 of
these companies and our analysis of
CBP information, we preliminarily
determine that the following 13
companies did not have any reviewable
transactions during the POR:
(1) Anglo-Siam Seafoods Co., Ltd.;
(2) Daedong (Thailand) Co., Ltd.;
(3) Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.;
(4) GSE Lining Technology Co., Ltd.;
(5) Leo Global Logistics Co., Ltd;
(6) Leo Transports;
(7) Lucky Union Foods Co., Ltd.;
(8) Namprick Maesri Ltd. Part.;
(9) S.K. Foods (Thailand) Public Co.
Limited;
(10) Shing-Fu Seaproducts
Development Co., Ltd.;
(11) Surapon Nichirei Foods Co., Ltd.;
(12) Thai Union Manufacturing ; and
(13) V. Thai Food Product Co., Ltd.
In addition, the Department finds that
it is not appropriate to preliminarily
rescind the review with respect to these
companies but, rather, to complete the
review with respect to these companies
and issue appropriate instructions to
CBP based on the final results of this
review.9
Finally, the Department received an
improperly-filed no shipment
certification from another Thai company
involved in this review, CP Retailing
and Marketing Co., Ltd., as well as an

improperly-filed notification from an
additional company, Thai Ocean
Venture Co., Ltd., that it is not a
producer/exporter. We 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 because they
failed to remedy the procedural
defeciencies in their submissions, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(g)(1),
despite the Department’s request that
they do so, and thus their submissions
were not accepted for the administrative
record of this review. Therefore, we are
continuing to include both CP Retailing
and Marketing Co., Ltd. and Thai Ocean
Venture Co., Ltd. in this administrative
review, and we assigned these
companies a preliminary dumping rate
based on the margin calculated for Thai
Union/Pakfood pursuant to section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, the Department
shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
For entries of Thai Union/Pakfood’s
subject merchandise made from April
23, 2012, through January 31, 2013, we
will calculate 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. See 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). With respect to entries of
subject merchandise by Thai Union and
Pakfood prior to April 23, 2013, we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates using the
individual company information based
on the same method noted above.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we will
calculate an assessment rate based on
the weighted-average of the cash deposit
rate calculated for Thai Union/Pakfood.
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review if any
importer-specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is above de minimis. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer-specific rate is
zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be
the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.19
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Thai
Union/Pakfood for which these
companies did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. For a full

publication of the final results of this
review.

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand; Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial Rescission
of Review, Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2012-2013
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, formerly Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
[[Page 15952]]
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen
warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from Thailand.\1\ The review covers 159 \2\
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise. The period of review
(POR) is February 1, 2012, through January 31, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The deadline for the preliminary results of this review was
March 17, 2014. Due to the closure of the Federal Government in
Washington, DC on March 17, 2014, the Department reached this
determination on the next business day (i.e., March 18, 2014). See
Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule
for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff
Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
\2\ This figure does not include two companies for which the
Department is rescinding the administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department is examining the following exporters/producers on an
individual basis: Thai Union Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd. and Thai
Union Seafood Co., Ltd. (collectively, Thai Union) for the period
February 1, 2012, through April 22, 2012; the Pakfood Group \3\ for the
period February 1, 2012, through April 22, 2012; and Thai Union/Pakfood
for the period April 23, 2012 through January 31, 2013.\4\ We
preliminarily determined that sales to the United States have been made
below normal value (NV) and, therefore, are subject to antidumping
duties. We also are rescinding this review with respect to Marine Gold
Products Limited (Marine Gold) because the order with respect to shrimp
produced and exported by this company was revoked effective February 1,
2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The Pakfood Group includes the following companies: Pakfood
Public Company Limited, Okeanos Co., Ltd., Okeanos Food Co., Ltd.,
Asia Pacific (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Chaophraya Cold Storage Co.,
Ltd., and Takzin Samut Co., Ltd. (collectively, Pakfood).
\4\ In this review, the Department determined to treat the
Pakfood Group as a collapsed entity with Thai Union, effective as of
April 23, 2012. See the memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, entitled, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary
Results of the Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand,'' dated
concurrently with these results (Preliminary Decision Memorandum),
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of
this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Interested
parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Effective Date: March 24, 2014.

Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
5973.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater
shrimp.\5\ The product is currently classified under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers:
0306.17.00.03, 0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.12,
0306.17.00.15, 0306.17.00.18, 0306.17.00.21, 0306.17.00.24,
0306.17.00.27, 0306.17.00.40, 1605.21.10.30, and 1605.29.10.10.
Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and for customs
purposes, the written product description remains dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Review
On July 16, 2013, the Department published its final results for
the February 1, 2011, through January 31, 2012, administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on shrimp from Thailand.\6\ In that
review, we found that Marine Gold met the requirements of revocation as
described in 19 CFR 351.222(b) \7\ and, thus, we revoked the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from Thailand (Shrimp Order) with
respect to subject merchandise produced and exported by Marine Gold. As
a result of Marine Gold's revocation in the 2011-2012 administrative
review, we are rescinding this administrative review with respect to
Marine Gold because the merchandise produced and sold by Marine Gold is
not subject to the Shrimp Order as of February 1, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 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,
78 FR 42497, 42499 (July 16, 2013) (Shrimp AR7 Final Results).
\7\ The Department modified the section of its regulations
concerning the revocation of antidumping and countervailing duty
orders in whole or in part, but that modification did not apply to
the February 1, 2011, through January 31, 2012, administrative
review. See Modification to Regulation Concerning the Revocation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 77 FR 29875 (May 21,
2012). The reference to 19 CFR 351.222(b) refers to the Department's
regulations prior to the modification. The modification applies to
the instant administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because we revoked the Shrimp Order with respect to subject
merchandise produced and exported by Marine Gold, we instructed CBP
that entries of such merchandise that were suspended on or after
February 1, 2012, should be liquidated without regard to antidumping
duties.
In addition, in the Shrimp AR7 Final Results, the Department
determined that one non-selected respondent, Tanaya International Co.,
Ltd. (Tanaya) is nether an exporter nor a manufacturer of subject
merchandise, as defined in 19 CFR 351.213(b), and, accordingly, we
rescinded the review with respect to this entity. Consistent with our
finding in the AR7 Final Results, and because Tanaya is not an
interested party in this proceeding, we find our initiation with
respect to Tanaya was improper, and we are rescinding this review with
respect to this company.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Among the companies under review, 13 companies properly filed
statements reporting that they made no shipments of subject merchandise
to the United States during the POR.\8\ Based on the certifications
submitted by all 13 of these companies and our analysis of CBP
information, we preliminarily determine that the following 13 companies
did not have any reviewable transactions during the POR:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For a full explanation of the Department's analysis, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Anglo-Siam Seafoods Co., Ltd.;
(2) Daedong (Thailand) Co., Ltd.;
(3) Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.;
(4) GSE Lining Technology Co., Ltd.;
(5) Leo Global Logistics Co., Ltd;
(6) Leo Transports;
(7) Lucky Union Foods Co., Ltd.;
(8) Namprick Maesri Ltd. Part.;
(9) S.K. Foods (Thailand) Public Co., Limited;
(10) Shing-Fu Seaproducts Development Co., Ltd.;
(11) Surapon Nichirei Foods Co., Ltd.;
(12) Thai Union Manufacturing ; and
(13) V. Thai Food Product Co., Ltd.
In addition, the Department finds that it is not appropriate to
preliminarily rescind the review with respect to these companies but,
rather, to complete the review with respect to these companies and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of
this review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 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, 15687
(March 12, 2013), unchanged in Shrimp AR7 Final Results, 78 FR at
42498.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, the Department received an improperly-filed no shipment
certification from another Thai company involved in this review, CP
Retailing and Marketing Co., Ltd., as well as an
[[Page 15953]]
improperly-filed notification from an additional company, Thai Ocean
Venture Co., Ltd., that it is not a producer/exporter. We 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 because they failed to remedy the
procedural defeciencies in their submissions, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303(g)(1), despite the Department's request that they do so, and
thus their submissions were not accepted for the administrative record
of this review. Therefore, we are continuing to include both CP
Retailing and Marketing Co., Ltd. and Thai Ocean Venture Co., Ltd. in
this administrative review, and we assigned these companies a
preliminary dumping rate based on the margin calculated for Thai Union/
Pakfood pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price
is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal value
is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is
available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the
Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce
building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the
electronic version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical
in content.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the respondents for the
period February 1, 2012, through January 31, 2013, as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Percent
Manufacturer/exporter margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thai Union Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd./Thai Union \10\ 1.10

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Non-
Selected Companies:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ This cash deposit rate is based on the combined sales of
Thai Union and Pakfood after the companies were collapsed (i.e.,
sales made during the period April 23, 2012, through January 31,
2013). The rates calculated for Thai Union and Pakfood for the
period February 1, 2012, through April 22, 2012, are zero percent
and 2.09 percent, respectively. The calculations for the period
February 1, 2012, through April 22, 2012, will be used for
assessment purposes only, as noted in the ``Collapsing of Thai Union
and Pakfood'' section of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
For entries of Thai Union/Pakfood's subject merchandise made from
April 23, 2012, through January 31, 2013, we will calculate 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. See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). With
respect to entries of subject merchandise by Thai Union and Pakfood
prior to April 23, 2013, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates using the individual company information based on
the same method noted above.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
will calculate an assessment rate based on the weighted-average of the
cash deposit rate calculated for Thai Union/Pakfood.
We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review if any importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above
de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific rate is zero or
de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties. The final results of this review
shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries
of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for
future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Thai Union/Pakfood for which
these companies did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full
[[Page 15955]]
discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6,
2003).
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the 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 rate for each specific
company listed above will be that established in the final results of
this review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and,
therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in
which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not participating in this review,
the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, or the original less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the most recent segment 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.\20\
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

United States Antidumping Measure on Shrimp from Thailand: Notice of
Determination Under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act

Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand, 74 FR 5638 (January 30, 2009)
(Section 129 Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 18, 2014.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
