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 160
producers/exporters of the subject
merchandise. The Department selected
two mandatory respondents for
individual examination: A Foods 1991
Co., Limited and May Ao Foods Co.,
Ltd. (collectively, Mayao); and Thai
Union/Pakfood, which consists of Thai
Union Group Public Co., Ltd. (also
known as Thai Union Frozen Products
Public Co., Ltd.), Thai Union Seafood
Company Limited, 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. The period of review
(POR) is February 1, 2015, through
January 31, 2016. 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 6, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.1
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,

0306.17.00.40, 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.
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 and
constructed export price are calculated
in accordance with section 772 of the
Act. Normal value is calculated in
accordance with section 773 of the Act.
1 For a complete description of the scope of the
Order, see Memorandum from James Maeder,
Senior Director, Office I, for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K.
Lorentzen, Acting 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, and hereby
adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum).

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 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://enforcement.trade.gov/
frn/. The signed and 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.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Among the companies under review,
five companies properly filed
statements reporting that they made no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.2 Based
on the certifications submitted by four
of these companies and our analysis of
CBP information, we preliminarily
determine that the following companies
had no reviewable transactions during
the POR: (1) Calsonic Kansei (Thailand)
Co., Ltd.; (2) Lucky Union Foods Co.,
Ltd.; (3) Marine Gold Products Ltd.
(Marine Gold); 3 and (4) Thai Union
Manufacturing Company Limited (Thai
Union Manufacturing). 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.4
2 For a full explanation of the Department’s
analysis, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
3 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 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).

One of the remaining companies,
Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd. (Grobest)
failed to provide a complete
certification relating to potential sales or
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR.5 Therefore, we preliminarily
find that there is insufficient evidence
on the record of this review to conclude
that Grobest made no shipments of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.

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 completion of the
administrative review, the Department
shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
where Mayao and Thai Union/Pakfood
reported the entered value for of their
U.S. sales, we calculated importerspecific 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 for which
entered value was reported. Where
Mayao and Thai Union/Pakfood have
not reported entered value, we
calculated the entered value in order to
calculate the assessment rates. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage 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 16 of the cash deposit rates

19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).

for mandatory review (i.e., Mayao and

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

applicable.17

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.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Appendix—List of Topics Discussed in
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum
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
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.18 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

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand; Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary
Determination of No Shipments; 2015-2016
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 160
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise. The Department selected
two mandatory respondents for individual examination: A Foods 1991 Co.,
Limited and May Ao Foods Co., Ltd. (collectively, Mayao); and Thai
Union/Pakfood, which consists of Thai Union Group Public Co., Ltd.
(also known as Thai Union Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd.), Thai Union
Seafood Company Limited, 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. The period of
review (POR) is February 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016. 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 6, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater
shrimp.\1\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
Memorandum from James Maeder, Senior Director, Office I, for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K.
Lorentzen, Acting 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, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary
Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
and constructed export price are 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 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://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and 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.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Among the companies under review, five companies properly filed
statements reporting that they made no shipments of subject merchandise
to the United States during the POR.\2\ Based on the certifications
submitted by four of these companies and our analysis of CBP
information, we preliminarily determine that the following companies
had no reviewable transactions during the POR: (1) Calsonic Kansei
(Thailand) Co., Ltd.; (2) Lucky Union Foods Co., Ltd.; (3) Marine Gold
Products Ltd. (Marine Gold); \3\ and (4) Thai Union Manufacturing
Company Limited (Thai Union Manufacturing). 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.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ For a full explanation of the Department's analysis, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
\3\ 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 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).

[[Page 12541]]
One of the remaining companies, Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
(Grobest) failed to provide a complete certification relating to
potential sales or entries of subject merchandise during the POR.\5\
Therefore, we preliminarily find that there is insufficient evidence on
the record of this review to conclude that Grobest made no shipments of
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See the Department's letter to Grobest, dated March 29,
2016, to which Grobest did not respond.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, 2015, through January 31, 2016, as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ On January 5, 2016, the Department found that Thai Union
Group Public Co., Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to Thai Union
Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd. See Notice of Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review: Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand, 81 FR 222 (January 5, 2016).

Pakfood 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 amount 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/Pakfood 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 \16\ 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.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ This rate will be calculated as discussed in footnote 5,
above.
\17\ 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 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 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.\18\
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.
Dated: February 28, 2017.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
