Initiation of New Shipper Reviews

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d)(1), and based on the evidence provided by the requesting 
companies, we find that the requests submitted by the requesting 
companies meet the requirements for initiation of the NSRs for 
shipments of fish fillets from Vietnam produced and exported by the 
requesting companies.\9\ The POR is August 1, 2013, through January 31, 
2014.\10\ Absent a determination that the case is extraordinarily 
complicated, the Department intends to issue the preliminary results of 
these NSRs within 180 days from the date of initiation and the final 
results within 270 days from the date of initiation.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See ``Memorandum to the File, from Scot Fullerton, Program 
Manager, ``Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the Socialist Republic

with this notice and herein incorporated by reference.
    \10\ See 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(B).
    \11\ See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is the Department's usual practice, in cases involving non-
market economies (``NMEs''), to require that a company seeking to 
establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the 
NME entity-wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence 
of government control over the company's export activities. 
Accordingly, we will issue questionnaires to the requesting companies 
that will include a section requesting information with regard to the 
requesting companies' export activities for separate rate purposes. 
Each NSR will proceed if the responses provide sufficient indication 
that the requesting companies are not subject to either de jure or de 
facto government control with respect to their exports of subject 
merchandise.
    We will instruct CBP to allow, at the option of the importer, the 
posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or security in 
lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the subject merchandise from 
the requesting companies in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because the requesting companies 
certified that they both produced and exported the subject merchandise, 
the sales of which are the basis for each new shipper review request, 
we will instruct CBP to permit the use of a bond only for subject 
merchandise which the requesting companies both produced and exported.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
these NSRs should submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
19 CFR 351.306.
    This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.214, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
