International Trade Administration October 19, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On September 15, 2009, the Department of Commerce (Department) published in the Federal Register the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from Ecuador for the period of review (POR) of February 1, 2007, through August 14, 2007. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Ecuador: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 47201 September 15, 2009) (Final Results), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. Based on the correction of a ministerial error with respect to the calculation of the indirect selling expense ratio for the respondent Sociedad Nacional de Galapagos, S.A. (Songa), we have changed the final results margin for Songa and, as a result, the final results margins for the respondents not selected for individual examination in this administrative review.

On July 1, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from the People's Republic of China (PRC), Thailand, and Malaysia pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Review, 74 FR 31412 (July 1, 2009). The Department has conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews for these orders. As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping as indicated in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
