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).
For Virgo, the company for which we
are rescinding this administrative
review, Commerce will instruct CBP to
assess countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries at a rate equal to the
cash deposit of estimated countervailing
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period August
14, 2020, through December 31, 2021, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i).
Commerce intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP
no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the
Act, Commerce also intends to instruct
CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the
amounts calculated for the year 2021 for
Hindalco with regard to shipments of
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP
will continue to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at the
all-others rate or the most recent
company-specific rate applicable to the
company, as appropriate. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose to
parties to this proceeding the
calculations performed in reaching the
preliminary results within five days of
the date of publication of these
preliminary results, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b).

Determination of No Shipments of
Antidumping Duty Administrative

Department of Commerce.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) determines that
four companies under review made no
shipments of the subject merchandise
during the period of review (POR).
Commerce also determines that no other
companies under review qualify for a
separate rate, and that these companies
are, therefore, considered part of the
Vietnam-Wide entity. The period of
review (POR) is February 1, 2021,
through January 31, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 3, 2023, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results 1 of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam
(Vietnam). This review covers 96
companies preliminarily determined to
be part of the Vietnam-wide entity and
four companies preliminarily
determined to have no reviewable
transactions during the POR. We invited
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results.2 No interested party submitted
comments. Accordingly, the final results
are unchanged from the Preliminary
Results. Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order 3
The merchandise subject to the Order
is certain frozen warmwater shrimp
from Vietnam. For a full description of
the scope of the Order, see the
Preliminary Results.4
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
found that four companies: (1) BIM
Foods Joint Stock Company; (2) Minh
Phu Hau Giang Seafood; (3) Minh Phu
Seafood Corporation; and (4) Minh Qui
Seafood Co., Ltd,5 did not have any
reviewable transactions during the POR.
As we have not received any
information to contradict this
preliminary finding, Commerce
determines that these four companies
did not have any reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
and will issue instructions that are
consistent with our ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ policy, described below.
Final Results of Administrative Review
As no parties submitted comments
regarding the Preliminary Results,
Commerce made no changes to its
determinations for the final results of
this review. For these final results,
Commerce continues to find that the
only three companies that submitted
separate rate applications in this review
did not establish eligibility for a
separate rate.6 Based on the above
3 See Notice of Amended Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping

(February 1, 2005) (Order).
4 See Preliminary Results, 88 FR at 59 and
Appendix I.
5 As stated in the Preliminary Results, shrimp
produced and exported by Minh Phu Hau Giang
Seafood, Minh Phu Seafood Corporation, and Minh
Qui Seafood Co., Ltd., among others, were excluded
from the Order effective July 18, 2016. See Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist

Determination Under Section 129 of the Uruguay
Round Agreements Act and Partial Revocation of
the Antidumping Duty Order, 81 FR 47756, 47757–
58 (July 22, 2016). Accordingly, this review was
initiated for these three exporters only with respect
to subject merchandise produced by another entity.
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews, 87 FR 21619 (April
12, 2022) (footnotes 8 through 10).
6 These three companies are: (1) Quang Minh
Seafood Co., Ltd. (Quang Minh); (2) Safe and Fresh
Aquatic Products Joint Stock Company (Safe Fresh
Aquatic); and (3) Ngoc Trinh Bac Lieu Seafood Co.,
Ltd. (Ngoc Trinh). Quang Minh and Ngoc Trinh
submitted separate rate applications and were
selected as mandatory respondents in this review,
but subsequently withdrew from the review. Safe
Fresh Aquatic submitted a separate rate application
but also subsequently withdrew from the review.

discussion.

applicant, there are no instruments of the same general category
manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner
of Customs: June 28, 2022.
Docket Number: 23-010. Applicant: Arizona State University, 1711 S.
Rural Road, Tempe, AZ 85281. Instrument: Cheetah 1 X-by-wire Automated
Vehicle Chassis. Manufacturer: Shanghai Liaison Tech Co., Ltd., China.
Intended Use: The Cheetah Chassis (model cars) will be used to develop
a small testbed, and add IMU sensors, GPS, mmWave radar, communication
modules, and motor controllers on each of the Cheeta Chassis.
Experiments will be run on model cars to test the sensing and
connectivity between vehicles, with the objectives being to test
functionalities including V2V and V2I communications, sensing and
vehicle automation control algorithms. First, simulation studies will
run in the lab, and then implement the modules on the testbed and run
experiments in parking lots to achieve the objectives. Justification
for Duty-Free Entry: According to the applicant, there are no
instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United
States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: March 10,
2023.
Docket Number: 23-011. Applicant: Arizona State University, 1711 S.

Docket Number: 23-012. Applicant: Drexel University, 3141 Chestnut
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Instrument:
[[Page 28491]]
Roll-to-Roll Coater. Manufacturer: InfinityPV ApS, Denmark. Intended
Use: The instrument will be used to study the processing of halide
perovskite thin films for application in solar cells. Perovskites have
ideal optical and electronic properties for solar energy conversion,
but work remains to understand how to obtain these desirable properties
while processing in a high-speed roll-to-roll manner. Vary coating,
drying, and annealing conditions to understand how processing affects
material properties. The objective is to uncover conditions that lead
to photovoltaic-grade perovskite films at web speeds larger than 1 m/
min. The instrument must fit in a fume hood and within the project
budget. This research is supported by the National Science Foundation
under the award CMMI-1933819. Justification for Duty-Free Entry:
According to the applicant, there are no instruments of the same
general category manufactured in the United States. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: April 6, 2022.
Docket Number: 23-013. Applicant: New Mexico Institute of Mining
and Technology Magadalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer (MROI), 801
Leroy Place, Socorro, NM 87801. Instrument: Unit Telescope.
Manufacturer: Advanced Mechanical and Optical Systems (AMOS), Belgium.
Intended Use: To better understand the universe and the processes that
take place within it by observation of objects whose structure, origins
and fate are not properly understood at present. These research areas
are fundamental to expanding the knowledge of particle physics, as well
as understanding the origins of the Universe and Earth. Justification
for Duty-Free Entry: According to the applicant, there are no
instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United
States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: March 2, 2023.
