they are joined with non-subject
merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor
blades, and whether or not they have internal
or external components attached to the
subject merchandise.
Specifically excluded from the scope are
nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of
whether they are attached to the wind tower.
Also excluded are any internal or external
components which are not attached to the
wind towers or sections thereof, unless those
components are shipped with the tower
sections.
Merchandise covered by this investigation
is currently classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
under subheading 7308.20.0020 or
8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel
are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020
when imported separately as a tower or tower
section(s). Wind towers may be classified
under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported
as combination goods with a wind turbine
(i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor
blades). While the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of this investigation is dispositive.

respectively.
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from
India. The review covers 155 producers
and/or exporters of the subject
merchandise. Commerce selected two
mandatory respondents for individual
examination: RSA Marines and HN
Indigos. The POR is February 1, 2019,
through January 31, 2020. On April 24,
2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in
administrative reviews by 50 days.1 On
July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all
deadlines in administrative reviews by
an additional 60 days.2 In January 2021,
we extended these preliminary results
of this review to no later than June 18,
2021.3 For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.4
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,
1 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews in Response to Operational
Adjustments Due to COVID–19,’’ dated April 24,
2020.
2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews,’’ dated July 21, 2020.
3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of Deadline for
Preliminary Results of the 2019–2020 Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated January 26,
2021. However, on June 17, 2021, the President
signed into law the Juneteenth National
Independence Day Act, making June 19 a Federal
holiday. See Juneteenth National Independence Day
Act, S. 475, Public Law 117–17 (2021). Because the
Federal holiday fell on a Saturday, it was observed
on Friday, June 18, 2021. Where a deadline falls on
a weekend or Federal holiday, the appropriate
deadline is the next business day. 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). Accordingly, the deadline
for these preliminary results is on June 21, 2021.
4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for
the Preliminary Results of the 2019–2020
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty
Order on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from

product description remains dispositive.
Methodology
Commerce 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. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/
frn/. A list of the topics discussed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
attached as an Appendix to this notice.
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,
2019, through January 31, 2020, as
follows:
Exporter/producer
RSA Marines ........................
HN Indigos ............................
Companies Not Selected for
Individual Review 6 ............
Weightedaverage
dumping
margin
(percent)
4.73
11.36
7.57
Review-Specific Average Rate for
Companies Not Selected for Individual
Review
The exporters or producers not
selected for individual review are listed
in Appendix II.
6 This rate is based on the weighted-average of the
margins calculated for those companies selected for
individual review using the publicly-ranged U.S.
quantities. Because we cannot apply our normal
methodology of calculating a weighted-average
margin due to requests to protect business
proprietary information, we find this rate to be the
best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin

antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.14
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
because both respondents reported the
entered value for all of their U.S. sales,
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 for which entered
value was reported. 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
review-specific average rate, calculated
as noted in the ‘‘Preliminary Results of
Review’’ section, above. 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.15
Consistent with its recent notice,16
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review in the
Federal Register. If a timely summons is
filed at the U.S. Court of International
Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file
a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
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
14 See
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.

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 10.17
percent, the all-others rate made
effective by the LTFV investigation.17
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: June 21, 2021.

Methodology
Commerce 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. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. A list of the topics discussed in
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an Appendix to this
notice.
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, 2019, through January 31, 2020, as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
RSA Marines............................................. 4.73
HN Indigos.............................................. 11.36
Companies Not Selected for Individual Review \6\........ 7.57
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review-Specific Average Rate for Companies Not Selected for Individual
Review
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ This rate is based on the weighted-average of the margins
calculated for those companies selected for individual review using
the publicly-ranged U.S. quantities. Because we cannot apply our
normal methodology of calculating a weighted-average margin due to
requests to protect business proprietary information, we find this
rate to be the best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin
determined for the mandatory respondents. See Ball Bearings and
Parts Thereof from France, et al.: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances
Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663
(September 1, 2010); see also Memorandum, ``Calculation of the
Review-Specific Average Rate for the Preliminary Results,'' dated
concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The exporters or producers not selected for individual review are
listed in Appendix II.

the date of publication of this notice.\8\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to
issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than seven days
after the time limit for filing case briefs.\9\ Parties who submit case
briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit
with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary
of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\10\ Case and rebuttal
briefs should be filed using ACCESS.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.303.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. An electronically-filed document must be received successfully
in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice.\12\ Hearing requests
should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone number;
(2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be
discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to issues
raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce 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, unless the
deadline is extended.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because both respondents reported
the entered value for all of their U.S. sales, 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 for which entered value
was reported. 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 review-specific average
rate, calculated as noted in the ``Preliminary Results of Review''
section, above. 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.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with its recent notice,\16\ Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Notice of Discontinuation of Policy to Issue
Liquidation Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 884 (January
15, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 10.17 percent, the
all-others rate made effective by the LTFV investigation.\17\ These
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp from India, 70 FR 5147 (February 1, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: June 21, 2021.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
