Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to requests from
interested parties, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) is
conducting the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam
(‘‘Vietnam’’) for the period of review
February 1, 2013, through January 31,
2014. The Department selected three
mandatory respondents based on a
sampling methodology, using the
information available at the time of
selection.1 The Department
preliminarily determines that sales of
subject merchandise by the Minh Phu
Group 2 and Thuan Phuoc 3 were made
below normal value (‘‘NV’’). The
Department preliminarily determines
that sales of subject merchandise by
Fimex VN 4 were not made below NV.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.

The merchandise subject to the
Order 5 is certain frozen warmwater
shrimp. 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,

0306.17.00.27, 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, available in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, remains
dispositive.6
Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). Constructed
export prices and export prices were
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Because Vietnam is a
nonmarket economy within the meaning
of section 771(18) of the Act, NV was
calculated in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via the Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
information and information provided
by a number of companies, we
preliminarily determine that eight
companies 8 did not have any
reviewable transactions during the POR.
In addition, the Department finds,
consistent with its refinement to its
assessment practice in non-market
economy cases, that it is appropriate not
to rescind the review in part in these
circumstances, but to complete the
review with respect to these eight
companies and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of the review.9 For additional
information regarding this
determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department finds that 56
companies for which a review was
requested have not established
eligibility for a separate rate and, thus,
they are considered to be part of the
Vietnam-wide entity for these
preliminary results.10 The Department’s
change in policy regarding conditional
review of the Vietnam-wide entity
applies to this administrative review.11
Under this policy, the Vietnam-wide
entity will not be under review unless
a party specifically requests, or the
Department self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a
review of the Vietnam-wide entity, the
entity is not under review and the
8 These eight companies are: (1) Bien Dong
Seafood Co., Ltd. (‘‘Bien Dong’’); (2) BIM Foods
Joint Stock Company; (3) Cafatex Fishery Joint
Stock Corporation; (4) Camau Seafood Processing
and Service Joint-stock Corporation (‘‘CASES’’); (5)
Camranh Seafoods Co., Ltd.; (6) Nhat Duc Co., Ltd.;
(7) Phu Cuong Jostco Seafood Corporation; and (8)
Seavina Joint Stock Company (‘‘Seavina’’).

Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department will disclose the
calculations used in our analysis to
parties in this review within five days
of the date of publication of this notice.
The Department intends to verify the
information upon which we will rely for
the final results. As such, the
Department will establish the briefing
schedule at a later time, and will notify
parties of the schedule in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.309. Parties who
submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs are
requested to submit with the argument:
(1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief
summary of the argument; and (3) a
table of authorities.14 Rebuttal briefs
must be limited to issues raised in the
case briefs.15
Interested parties who wish to request
a hearing, or to participate if one is
requested, must submit a written
request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S.
Department of Commerce, filed
electronically using ACCESS. An
electronically filed document must be
received successfully in its entirety in
ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within
30 days after the date of publication of
this notice.16 Requests should contain
the party’s name, address, and
telephone number, the number of
participants, and a list of the issues to
be discussed. If a request for a hearing
is made, the Department will inform
parties of the scheduled date for the
hearing which will be held at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230, at a time and
location to be determined. Parties
should confirm by telephone the date,
time, and location of the hearing.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on the preliminary results of
this review.
The Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative
review, including the results of our
analysis of issues raised in the written
comments, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results
in the Federal Register.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.17 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review. For any

individually examined respondent
whose weighted average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., is 0.50
percent or more) in the final results of
this review, the Department will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of sales, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).18 We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review when the importerspecific 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 assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
For the final results, if we continue to
treat the 56 companies identified above
as part of the Vietnam-wide entity, we
will instruct CBP to apply an ad
valorem assessment rate of 25.76
percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR which
were produced and/or exported by those
companies. The Department recently
announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in non-market
economy cases. Pursuant to this
refinement in practice, for entries that
were not reported in the U.S. sales
databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this
review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
Vietnam-wide rate. Additionally, if the
Department determines that an exporter
had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under that exporter’s case
number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will
be liquidated at the Vietnam-wide
rate.19
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.
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 Vietnam
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
the companies listed above, which have
a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that established in the final results of
this review (except, if the rate is zero or
de minimis, then zero cash deposit will
be required); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Vietnam and
non-Vietnam 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; (3) for all
Vietnam exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the existing rate for
the Vietnam-wide entity of 25.76
percent; and (4) for all non-Vietnam
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Vietnam exporter that
supplied that non-Vietnam 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.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;
2013-2014
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to requests from interested parties, the
Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting the
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen
warmwater shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam'')
for the period of review February 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014.
The Department selected three mandatory respondents based on a sampling
methodology, using the information available at the time of
selection.\1\ The Department preliminarily determines that sales of
subject merchandise by the Minh Phu Group \2\ and Thuan Phuoc \3\ were
made below normal value (``NV''). The Department preliminarily
determines that sales of subject merchandise by Fimex VN \4\ were not
made below NV. Interested parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order \5\ is certain frozen
warmwater shrimp. 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, available in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, remains dispositive.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Brazil, India, the
People's Republic of China, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam: Amended Antidumping Duty Orders in Accordance with Final
Court Decision, 76 FR 23277 (April 26, 2011) (``Order'').
\6\ For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, see
Memorandum to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, titled ``Decision
Memorandum for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam; 2013-2014,'' dated concurrently with
and adopted by this notice (``Preliminary Decision Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').
Constructed export prices and export prices were calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because Vietnam is a nonmarket
economy within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, NV was
calculated in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via the Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``ACCESS'').\7\ ACCESS is
available to registered users at https://access.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 on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum
and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the
name of Enforcement and Compliance's AD and CVD Centralized
Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS'') to AD and CVD Centralized
Electronic Service System (``ACCESS''). The Web site location was
changed from https://iaaccess.trade.gov to https://access.trade.gov.
The Final Rule changing the references to the Regulations can be
found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') information and information provided by a number of
companies, we preliminarily determine that eight companies \8\ did not
have any reviewable transactions during the POR. In addition, the
Department finds, consistent with its refinement to its assessment
practice in non-market economy cases, that it is appropriate not to
rescind the review in part in these circumstances, but to complete the
review with respect to these eight companies and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final results of the review.\9\ For
additional information regarding this determination, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ These eight companies are: (1) Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd.
(``Bien Dong''); (2) BIM Foods Joint Stock Company; (3) Cafatex
Fishery Joint Stock Corporation; (4) Camau Seafood Processing and
Service Joint-stock Corporation (``CASES''); (5) Camranh Seafoods
Co., Ltd.; (6) Nhat Duc Co., Ltd.; (7) Phu Cuong Jostco Seafood
Corporation; and (8) Seavina Joint Stock Company (``Seavina'').
\9\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (``Assessment
Notice''); see also ``Assessment Rates'' section below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department finds that 56 companies for which a review was
requested have not established eligibility for a separate rate and,
thus, they are considered to be part of the Vietnam-wide entity for
these preliminary results.\10\ The Department's change in policy
regarding conditional review of the Vietnam-wide entity applies to this
administrative review.\11\ Under this policy, the Vietnam-wide entity
will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or the
Department self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party
requested a review of the Vietnam-wide entity, the entity is not under
review and the
[[Page 12442]]
entity's rate is not subject to change. For companies for which a
review was requested and that have established eligibility for a
separate rate, the Department preliminarily determines that the
following weighted-average dumping margins exist:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Appendix II for a full list of the 56 companies; see
also Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 9-10.
\11\ Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\12\ Due to the issues we have had in the past with variations
of exporter names related to this Order, we remind exporters that
the names listed below are the exact names, including spelling and
punctuation which the Department will provide to CBP and which CBP
will use to assess POR entries and collect cash deposits.
\13\ The Department previously collapsed the companies within
the Minh Phu Group in the sixth administrative review. See Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Preliminary Results of Administrative Review, 77 FR 13547, 13549
(March 7, 2012), unchanged in Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results and Final Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 55800
(September 11, 2012). In this review, the Department reevaluated the
collapsed entity based on a corporate structure and name change of
one of the collapsed companies, Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood Co., Ltd.
See ``Memorandum to the File, through Catherine Bertrand, Program
Manager, Office V, from Irene Gorelik, Senior Analyst, Office V, re;
Collapsing Determination for the Minh Phu Seafood Corporation and
its Affiliates, with Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood Joint Stock
Company,'' dated concurrently with this notice. In this memorandum,
the Department found that Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood Joint Stock
Company is affiliated with the the Minh Phu Group group of
companies, and that they comprise a single entity. Therefore, we
will assign this rate to the companies in the single entity. The
company name and trade names formerly used by Minh Phu Hau Giang
Seafood Joint Stock Company have not been included above, for cash
deposit purposes, based on the business license submitted on the
record. However, the former names will be included for liquidation
purposes at the conclusion of this review.

Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department will disclose the calculations used in our analysis
to parties in this review within five days of the date of publication
of this notice. The Department intends to verify the information upon
which we will rely for the final results. As such, the Department will
establish the briefing schedule at a later time, and will notify
parties of the schedule in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309. Parties who
submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs are requested to submit with the
argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the
argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\14\ Rebuttal briefs must be
limited to issues raised in the case briefs.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c) and (d).
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interested parties who wish to request a hearing, or to participate
if one is requested, must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce,
filed electronically using ACCESS. An electronically filed document
must be received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS, by 5 p.m.
Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this
notice.\16\ Requests should contain the party's name, address, and
telephone number, the number of participants, and a list of the issues
to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, the Department
will inform parties of the scheduled date for the hearing which will be
held at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230, at a time and location to be
determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing. Interested parties are invited to comment on
the preliminary results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of our analysis of issues
raised in the written comments, within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal Register.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\17\ The Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final
results of this review. For any individually examined respondent whose
weighted average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., is 0.50
percent or more) in the final results of this review, the Department
will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of sales, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\18\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the
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 assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For the final results, if we continue to treat the 56 companies
identified above as part of the Vietnam-wide entity, we will instruct
CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 25.76 percent to all
entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were produced and/
or exported by those companies. The Department recently announced a
refinement to its assessment practice in non-market economy cases.
Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the Vietnam-wide rate. Additionally,
if the Department determines that an exporter had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that
exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be
liquidated at the Vietnam-wide rate.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\18\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
\19\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Assessment
Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 Vietnam 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 the companies
listed above, which have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
that established in the final results of this review (except, if the
rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required);
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed Vietnam and non-Vietnam
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; (3) for all Vietnam exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the existing rate for the
Vietnam-wide entity of 25.76 percent; and (4) for all non-Vietnam
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Vietnam
exporter that supplied that non-Vietnam 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.
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
