SUMMARY: On March 15, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from
Thailand. This review covers 165 producers/exporters of the subject
merchandise to the United States.\1\ The POR is February 1, 2008,
through January 31, 2009.\2\

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers 165 producers/exporters. The respondents which
the Department selected for individual review are Marine Gold, Pakfood,
and the Rubicon Group. The respondents which were not selected for
individual review are listed in the ``Final Results of Review'' section
of this notice.
On March 15, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register
the preliminary results of the 2008-2009 administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from Thailand. See Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review and Final Results of Partial Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 12188 (March 15, 2010)
(Preliminary Results).
We invited parties to comment on the preliminary results. In April
2010, we received case briefs from the domestic producers of the
subject merchandise (i.e., the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee),
the respondents selected for individual review, Marine Gold, Pakfood,
and the Rubicon Group, the American Shrimp Processors Association and
the Louisiana Shrimp Association (hereafter, the domestic processors),
and Xian-Ning Seafood Co., Ltd., Ongkorn Cold Storage Co., Ltd.,
Kongphop Frozen Foods Co., Ltd., May Ao Foods Co., Ltd., and May Ao
Co., Ltd., who are producers/exporters that were not selected for
individual review. Rebuttal briefs were received from the domestic
producers, the domestic processors, Marine Gold, Pakfood, and the
Rubicon Group. On April 14, 2010, Marine Gold requested that a public
[[Page 54848]]
hearing be held in this proceeding. On April 20, 2010, Marine Gold
withdrew its hearing request.
In June 2010 we extended the deadline for the final results, due no
later than September 13, 2010. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from
Thailand: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of
the 2008-2009 Administrative Review, 75 FR 34976 (June 21, 2010).
The Department has conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes certain frozen warmwater shrimp
and prawns, whether wild-caught (ocean harvested) or farm-raised
(produced by aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shell-on or peeled,
tail-on or tail-off,\3\ deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or
otherwise processed in frozen form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ ``Tails'' in this context means the tail fan, which includes
the telson and the uropods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The frozen warmwater shrimp and prawn products included in the
scope of this order, regardless of definitions in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), are products which are processed
from warmwater shrimp and prawns through freezing and which are sold in
any count size.
The products described above may be processed from any species of
warmwater shrimp and prawns. Warmwater shrimp and prawns are generally
classified in, but are not limited to, the Penaeidae family. Some
examples of the farmed and wild-caught warmwater species include, but
are not limited to, whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannemei), banana prawn
(Penaeus merguiensis), fleshy prawn (Penaeus chinensis), giant river
prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon),
redspotted shrimp (Penaeus brasiliensis), southern brown shrimp
(Penaeus subtilis), southern pink shrimp (Penaeus notialis), southern
rough shrimp (Trachypenaeus curvirostris), southern white shrimp
(Penaeus schmitti), blue shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris), western white
shrimp (Penaeus occidentalis), and Indian white prawn (Penaeus
indicus).
Frozen shrimp and prawns that are packed with marinade, spices or
sauce are included in the scope of this order. In addition, food
preparations, which are not ``prepared meals,'' that contain more than
20 percent by weight of shrimp or prawn are also included in the scope
of this order.
Excluded from the scope are: (1) Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTSUS
subheading 1605.20.10.20); (2) shrimp and prawns generally classified
in the Pandalidae family and commonly referred to as coldwater shrimp,
in any state of processing; (3) fresh shrimp and prawns whether shell-
on or peeled (HTSUS subheadings 0306.23.00.20 and 0306.23.00.40); (4)
shrimp and prawns in prepared meals (HTSUS subheading 1605.20.05.10);
(5) dried shrimp and prawns; (6) canned warmwater shrimp and prawns
(HTSUS subheading 1605.20.10.40); (7) certain dusted shrimp; and (8)
certain battered shrimp. Dusted shrimp is a shrimp-based product: (1)
That is produced from fresh (or thawed-from-frozen) and peeled shrimp;
(2) to which a ``dusting'' layer of rice or wheat flour of at least 95
percent purity has been applied; (3) with the entire surface of the
shrimp flesh thoroughly and evenly coated with the flour; (4) with the
non-shrimp content of the end product constituting between four and 10
percent of the product's total weight after being dusted, but prior to
being frozen; and (5) that is subjected to IQF freezing immediately
after application of the dusting layer. Battered shrimp is a shrimp-
based product that, when dusted in accordance with the definition of
dusting above, is coated with a wet viscous layer containing egg and/or
milk, and par-fried.
The products covered by this order are currently classified under
the following HTSUS subheadings: 0306.13.00.03, 0306.13.00.06,
0306.13.00.09, 0306.13.00.12, 0306.13.00.15, 0306.13.00.18,
0306.13.00.21, 0306.13.00.24, 0306.13.00.27, 0306.13.00.40,
1605.20.10.10, and 1605.20.10.30. These HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and for customs purposes only and are not dispositive,
but rather the written description of the scope of this order is
dispositive.
Period of Review
The POR is February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009. See Footnote
2.
Partial Rescission of Review
In the Preliminary Results, we stated our intention to rescind the
review with respect to the following companies, which reported to the
Department that they had no shipments during the POR:
(1) American Commercial Transport, Inc.
(2) Ampai Frozen Food Co., Ltd.
(3) Euro-Asian International Seafoods Co., Ltd.
(4) F.A.I.T. Corporation Limited
(5) Far East Cold Storage, Ltd.
(6) Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
(7) Inter-Oceanic Resources Co., Ltd.
(8) Leo Transport Corporation, Ltd.
(9) Lucky Unions Foods Co., Ltd.
(10) MKF Interfood (2004) Co., Ltd.
(11) Siam Canadian Foods Co., Ltd.
(12) Siam Ocean Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
(13) Sky Fresh Co., Ltd.
(14) Songkla Canning (PCL)
(15) Suree Interfoods Co., Ltd.
(16) Thai Excel Foods Co., Ltd.
(17) Thai Union Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
(18) Thai Yoo Ltd., Part.
(19) V. Thai Food Product Co., Ltd.
(20) Wann Fisheries Co., Ltd.
Since the Preliminary Results we have received no comments
regarding our stated intention to rescind the review for each of the
firms listed above. Therefore, the Department is rescinding this review
with respect to the 20 firms listed above.
Cost of Production
As discussed in the Preliminary Results, we conducted an
investigation to determine whether Marine Gold, Pakfood, and the
Rubicon Group made comparison market sales of the foreign like product
during the POR at prices below their costs of production (COP) within
the meaning of section 773(b) of the Act. For all three respondents, we
performed the cost test for these final results following the same
methodology as in the Preliminary Results.
We found 20 percent or more of each respondent's sales of a given
product during the reporting period were at prices less than the
weighted-average COP for this period. Thus, we determined that these
below-cost sales were made in ``substantial quantities'' within an
extended period of time and at prices which did not permit the recovery
of all costs within a reasonable period of time in the normal course of
trade. See sections 773(b)(1)-(2) of the Act.
Therefore, for purposes of these final results, we continue to find
that Marine Gold, Pakfood, and the Rubicon Group made below-cost sales
not in the ordinary course of trade. Consequently, we disregarded these
sales for each respondent and used the remaining sales as the basis for
determining normal value pursuant to section 773(b)(1) of the Act. For
those U.S. sales of subject merchandise for which there were no
comparison market sales in the ordinary course of trade, we compared
constructed export prices or export prices, as appropriate, to
constructed value in accordance with section 773(a)(4) of the Act.

Assessment
The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries.
For those sales where the respondents reported the entered value of
their U.S. sales, we have 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 examined sales for that importer. For those sales where the
respondents did not report the entered value of their U.S. sales, we
have calculated importer-specific or customer-specific per-unit duty
assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales and dividing this amount by the total
quantity of those sales. With respect to the respondents' U.S. sales of
shrimp with sauce, for which no entered value was reported, we have
included the total quantity of the merchandise with sauce in the
denominator of the calculation of the importer-specific or customer-
specific rate because CBP will apply the per-unit duty rate to the
total quantity of merchandise entered, including the sauce weight. To
determine whether the duty assessment rates are de minimis, in
accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
have calculated importer-specific or customer-specific ad valorem
ratios based on the estimated entered value.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
have calculated an assessment rate based on the weighted average of the
cash deposit rates calculated for the companies selected for individual
review excluding any which are de minimis or determined entirely on
facts available. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand:
Final Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 74 FR 47551 (September 16, 2009).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate
without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which the
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent). The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment
Policy Notice). This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in these
final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know
that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation if there is
no rate for the intermediary involved in the transaction. See
Assessment Policy Notice for a full discussion of this clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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 rates for each specific
company listed above \5\ will be the rates shown above, 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 rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other manufacturers or exporters will be 5.34 percent, the all-
others rate made effective by the Section 129 Determination. These
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Effective January 16, 2009, there is no longer a cash
deposit requirement for certain producers/exporters in accordance
with the Implementation of the Findings of the WTO Panel in United
States Antidumping Measure on Shrimp from Thailand: Notice of
Determination under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
and Partial Revocation of the Antidumping Duty Order on Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand, 74 FR 5638 (January 30, 2009)
(Section 129 Determination). These producers/exporters are as
follows: Andaman Seafood Co., Ltd., Chanthaburi Frozen Food Co.,
Ltd., Chanthaburi Seafoods Co., Ltd., Intersia Foods Co., Ltd.
(formerly Y2K Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.), Phatthana Seafood Co., Ltd.,
S.C.C. Frozen Seafood Co., Ltd., Thailand Fishery Cold Storage
Public Co., Ltd., Thai International Seafoods Co., Ltd., Wales & Co.
Universe Limited, and Thai I-Mei Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), 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
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these final results of review in
accordance
[[Page 54851]]
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 31, 2010.
