The following cash 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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 Bhansali and
Ambica will be the rate established in
the final results of this review, except if
the rate is de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1) (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent), 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 rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the
original 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 12.45
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.11 These requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
The Department is issuing and
publishing these results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.

(POR) is February 1, 2014, through
January 31, 2015. We preliminarily
determine that sales to the United States
have been made below normal value
and, therefore, are subject to
antidumping duties. Additionally, we
preliminarily determine that certain
companies for which we initiated a
review did not have any shipments
during the POR. 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. We invite interested
parties to comment on these preliminary
results.
DATES: Effective March 10, 2016.

As
explained in the memorandum from the
Acting Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement & Compliance, the
Department has exercised its discretion
to toll all administrative deadlines due
to the recent closure of the Federal
Government. All deadlines in this
segment of the proceeding have been
extended by four business days. The
revised deadline for the preliminary
results of this review is now March 4,
2016.4

product description remains dispositive.
Methodology
The Department is conducting 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 (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov, and it is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://trade.gov/
enforcement/frn/. The signed
and the electronic versions of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content. A list of the topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is attached as the
Appendix to this notice.
Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the parties
that requested a review withdraw the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. This review was
initiated on March 30, 2015.6 Two
producers/exporters of shrimp in
Thailand, Gallant Ocean (Thailand) Co.,
Ltd. (Gallant Ocean) and Southport
Seafood Co., Ltd. (Southport), withdrew
their requests for review on May 28,
2015, which is within the 90-day
deadline.7 While no other party
requested an administrative review of
Southport, we received other requests
for review of Gallant Ocean. Therefore,
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our
practice, we are rescinding this review
only with respect to Southport. We are
continuing the administrative review
with respect to Gallant Ocean because
we received properly-filed requests for a
review of this company, and we did not
receive timely withdrawal of review
requests from all parties with respect to
it.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Among the companies under review,
four 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 two of
these companies and our analysis of
CBP information, we preliminarily
determine that the following companies
had no reviewable transactions during
the POR: (1) Gallant Ocean; and (2)
Lucky Union Foods Co., Ltd. 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
With respect to the two remaining
companies, Marine Gold Products Ltd
(Marine Gold)10 and Thai Union
Manufacturing Company Limited (Thai
Union Manufacturing), we preliminarily
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.
Therefore, we are continuing to include
both Marine Gold and Thai Union
Manufacturing in this administrative
review for purposes of the preliminary
results. However, we requested
additional information from CBP with
respect to any potential entries made by
these companies during the POR, and
we will consider this information in
making a final determination on this
issue for purposes of the final results.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine that weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
respondents for the period February 1,
2014, through January 31, 2015, as
follows:

The Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its
analysis raised in any written briefs, not
later than 120 days after the publication
date of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.19
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
where Mayao and Thai Union reported
the entered value for of their U.S. sales,
we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total aount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of the sales for which entered
value was reported. Where Mayao and
Thai Union have not reported entered
value, we calculated the entered value
in order to calculate the assessment
rates. Where either the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.

For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we will
assign an assessment rate based on the
average 20 of the cash deposit rates
calculated for the companies selected
for mandatory review (i.e., Mayao and
Thai Union), excluding any which are
de minimis or determined entirely on
adverse facts available. 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.21
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

not a firm covered in this review, or the
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)

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.22 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) 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.

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand; Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Rescission of
Review, in Part, and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2014-
2015
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen
warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from Thailand. The review covers 163
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise.\1\ The Department
selected two mandatory respondents for individual examination, Mayao
\2\ and Thai Union.\3\ The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2014,
through January 31, 2015. We preliminarily determine that sales to the
United States have been made below normal value and, therefore, are
subject to antidumping duties. Additionally, we preliminarily determine
that certain companies for which we initiated a review did not have any
shipments during the POR. 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. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary
results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As explained in the memorandum from the
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement & Compliance, the Department
has exercised its discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due
to the recent closure of the Federal Government. All deadlines in this
segment of the proceeding have been extended by four business days. The
revised deadline for the preliminary results of this review is now

\5\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand, from Christian Marsh, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), dated concurrently
with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department is conducting 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 (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://access.trade.gov, and it is available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://trade.gov/enforcement/frn/. The signed and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in
content. A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is attached as the Appendix to this notice.
Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. This
review was initiated on March 30, 2015.\6\ Two producers/exporters of
shrimp in Thailand, Gallant Ocean (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Gallant Ocean)
and Southport Seafood Co., Ltd. (Southport), withdrew their requests
for review on May 28, 2015, which is within the 90-day deadline.\7\
While no other party requested an administrative review of Southport,
we received other requests for review of Gallant Ocean. Therefore, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our practice,
we are rescinding this review only with respect to Southport. We are
continuing the administrative review with respect to Gallant Ocean
because we received properly-filed requests for a review of this
company, and we did not receive timely withdrawal of review requests
from all parties with respect to it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Initiation Notice.
\7\ See letters from Gallant Ocean and Southport, ``AD
Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from
Thailand: Certification of No Shipments and Withdrawal of Request
for Administrative Review,'' dated May 28, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Among the companies under review, four 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 two of these companies and our analysis of CBP
information, we preliminarily determine that the following companies
had no reviewable transactions during the POR: (1) Gallant Ocean; and
(2) Lucky Union Foods Co., Ltd. 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For a full explanation of the Department's analysis, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Shipments, and Partial Rescission of Review; 2012-2013, 79 FR 51306
(August 28, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With respect to the two remaining companies, Marine Gold Products
Ltd (Marine Gold)\10\ and Thai Union Manufacturing Company Limited
(Thai Union Manufacturing), we preliminarily 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. Therefore, we are continuing to include both
Marine Gold and Thai Union Manufacturing in this administrative review
for purposes of the preliminary results. However, we requested
additional information from CBP with respect to any potential entries
made by these companies during the POR, and we will consider this
information in making a final determination on this issue for purposes
of the final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ Shrimp produced and exported by Marine Gold was excluded
from the AD Thailand order effective February 1, 2012. 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 at 42497, 42499
(July 16, 2013) (2011-2012 Thai Shrimp). Accordingly, we are
conducting this administrative review with respect to Marine Gold
only for shrimp produced in Thailand where Marine Gold acted as
either the producer or the exporter (but not both).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, 2014, through January 31, 2015, as follows:

The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of its analysis raised in
any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the publication date
of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department shall determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where Mayao and Thai Union
reported the entered value for of their U.S. sales, we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total aount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of the sales for which entered value
was reported. Where Mayao and Thai Union have not reported entered
value, we calculated the entered value in order to calculate the
assessment rates. Where either the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
will assign an assessment rate based on the average \20\ of the cash
deposit rates calculated for the companies selected for mandatory
review (i.e., Mayao and Thai Union), excluding any which are de minimis
or determined entirely on adverse facts available. 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.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ This rate will be calculated as discussed in footnote 11,
above.
\21\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[Page 12701]]
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.\22\ 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
and Partial Revocation of the Antidumping Duty Order on Frozen
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 4, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
