review. In addition, a domestic
interested party or an interested party
described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act
must state why it desires the Secretary
to review those particular producers or
exporters. If the interested party intends
for the Secretary to review sales of
merchandise by an exporter (or a
producer if that producer also exports
merchandise from other suppliers)
which was produced in more than one
country of origin and each country of
origin is subject to a separate order, then
the interested party must state
specifically, on an order-by-order basis,
which exporter(s) the request is
intended to cover.
Note that, for any party Commerce
was unable to locate in prior segments,
Commerce will not accept a request for
an administrative review of that party
absent new information as to the party’s
location. Moreover, if the interested
party who files a request for review is
unable to locate the producer or
exporter for which it requested the
review, the interested party must
provide an explanation of the attempts
it made to locate the producer or
exporter at the same time it files its
request for review, in order for the
Secretary to determine if the interested
party’s attempts were reasonable,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii).
As explained in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping
Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694
(October 24, 2011), Commerce clarified
its practice with respect to the
collection of final antidumping duties
on imports of merchandise where
intermediate firms are involved. The
public should be aware of this
clarification in determining whether to
request an administrative review of
merchandise subject to antidumping
findings and orders.3
Commerce no longer considers the
non-market economy (NME) entity as an
exporter conditionally subject to an
antidumping duty administrative
review.4 Accordingly, the NME entity
will not be under review unless
Commerce specifically receives a
request for, or self-initiates, a review of

the NME entity.5 In administrative
reviews of antidumping duty orders on
merchandise from NME countries where
a review of the NME entity has not been
initiated, but where an individual
exporter for which a review was
initiated does not qualify for a separate
rate, Commerce will issue a final
decision indicating that the company in
question is part of the NME entity.
However, in that situation, because no
review of the NME entity was
conducted, the NME entity’s entries
were not subject to the review and the
rate for the NME entity is not subject to
change as a result of that review
(although the rate for the individual
exporter may change as a function of the
finding that the exporter is part of the
NME entity). Following initiation of an
antidumping duty administrative review
when there is no review requested of the
NME entity, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate entries for all exporters
not named in the initiation notice,
including those that were suspended at
the NME entity rate.
All requests must be filed
electronically in Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS) on
Enforcement and Compliance’s ACCESS
website at https://access.trade.gov.6
Further, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request
must be served on the petitioner and
each exporter or producer specified in
the request. Note that Commerce has
temporarily modified certain of its
requirements for serving documents
containing business proprietary
information, until further notice.7
Commerce will publish in the Federal
Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation of
Administrative Review of Antidumping
or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding,
or Suspended Investigation’’ for
requests received by the last day of
October 2021. If Commerce does not
receive, by the last day of October 2021,
a request for review of entries covered
by an order, finding, or suspended
investigation listed in this notice and for
the period identified above, Commerce
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping
or countervailing duties on those entries
at a rate equal to the cash deposit of
5 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), parties

entries from exporters comprising the entity, and to
the extent possible, include the names of such

Republic of Vietnam covering the period

Background
On April 29, 2019, Commerce
published its Final Results.1 In the Final
Results, Commerce denied NTSF’s
reported fish meal and fish oil byproduct offsets based on NTSF’s
statements that it ‘‘sold’’ the head and
bone product (i.e., the inputs to fish
meal/oil) to an unaffiliated processor.
Given these statements, Commerce
concluded that the downstream fish
meal/oil products were not produced
and sold by NTSF, and, therefore, not
eligible for by-product offsets.2 As a
result, Commerce only granted a by1 See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Final Results, and Final
Results of No Shipments of the Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2016–2017, 84 FR 18007
(April 29, 2019) (Final Results), and accompanying
Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM).

product offset for the fish head and bone
product sold by NTSF, and not the
downstream fish oil and fish meal
produced by the unaffiliated processor.3
On December 21, 2020, the CIT issued
its Remand Order.4 The Remand Order
addressed whether three aspects of the
Final Results were supported by
substantial evidence: (1) Commerce’s
selection of financial statements for its
calculation of surrogate financial ratios;
(2) Commerce’s calculation of surrogate
values for NTSF’s fingerlings; and (3)
Commerce’s denial of by-product offsets
for fish meal and fish oil. The CIT
affirmed Commerce’s Final Results with
respect to issues 1 and 2. With respect
to issue 3, the CIT concluded that
Commerce’s denial of by-product offsets
for fish meal and fish oil was
unsupported by substantial evidence
and, thus, remanded the decision to
Commerce to explain its analysis of the
record evidence cited by NTSF or
otherwise change its determination.5
In its Final Remand Redetermination,
issued in March 2021, Commerce found
that NTSF’s fish meal and fish oil byproducts were produced pursuant to a
tolling arrangement with an unaffiliated
processor and determined that NTSF
later sold the by-products to unaffiliated
purchasers.6 Commerce, thus, found
that by-product offsets for NTSF’s sales
of fish meal and fish oil were warranted
and, accordingly, made changes to the
margin calculations for NTSF.7
Commerce also made changes to the
rate assigned to a reviewed company
that it did not individually examine, but
which demonstrated its eligibility for
separate rate and is a party to the
litigation, i.e., Vinh Quang.8
On September 20, 2021, the CIT
sustained Commerce’s Final Remand
Redetermination.9
