Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 

from the People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 5149 

(February 1, 2005) (Order). 

NOES is subject to the Orders whether 

it is fully processed (i.e., fully annealed 

to develop final magnetic properties) or 

semi-processed (i.e., finished to final 

thickness and physical form but not 

fully annealed to develop final magnetic 

properties). Fully processed NOES is 

typically made to the requirements of 

ASTM specification A 677, Japanese 

Industrial Standards (JIS) specification 

C 2552, and/or International 

Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 

specification 60404–8–4. Semiprocessed NOES is typically made to the 

requirements of ASTM specification A 

683. However, the scope of the Orders 

is not limited to merchandise meeting 

the ASTM, JIS, and IEC specifications 

noted immediately above. 

NOES is sometimes referred to as 

cold-rolled non-oriented (CRNO), nongrain oriented (NGO), non-oriented 

(NO), or cold-rolled non-grain oriented 

(CRNGO) electrical steel. These terms 

are interchangeable. 

Excluded from the scope of the Orders 

are flat-rolled products not in coils that, 

prior to importation into the United 

States, have been cut to a shape and 

undergone all punching, coating, or 

other operations necessary for 

classification in Chapter 85 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) as a part (i.e., 

lamination) for use in a device such as 

a motor, generator, or transformer. 

The subject merchandise is provided 

for in subheadings 7225.19.0000, 

7226.19.1000, and 7226.19.9000 of the 

HTSUS. Subject merchandise may also 

be entered under subheadings 

7225.50.8085, 7225.99.0090, 

7226.92.5000, 7226.92.7050, 

7226.92.8050, 7226.99.0180 of the 

HTSUS. Although HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 

Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. The effective date of the 

continuation of the Orders will be the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of this notice of continuation. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next sunset 

review of the Orders not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of continuation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year sunset reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

section 751(c) and of the Act and 

published pursuant to section 777(i)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).

Foodstuff Co., Ltd. (collectively, 

Shantou Red Garden Foods) made sales 

of certain frozen warmwater shrimp 

(shrimp) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) at less than normal value 

during the period of review (POR) 

February 1, 2018 through January 31, 

2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of the administrative review of

from China on March 5, 2020.1 On April 

24, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines 

in administrative reviews by 50 days.2

On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all 

deadlines in administrative reviews by 

an additional 60 days.3 Commerce 

extended the deadline for the final 

results further by 60 days on October 2, 

2020.4 The deadline for the final results 

of this review is now December 21, 

2020. For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.5

Affiliation and Single Entity 

Determination 

On April 29, 2020, Commerce 

preliminarily found that Shantou RGFP 

and Shantou Red Garden Foodstuff Co., 

Ltd. are affiliated pursuant to section 

771(33) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act) and should be 

treated as a single entity for purposes of 

this antidumping duty proceeding 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f).7 No 

interested party commented on this 

treatment of Shantou Red Garden Foods, 

and this finding remains unchanged for 

these final results. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, we found 

no evidence calling into question the 

no-shipment claims of the following 

companies: (1) Allied Pacific Aquatic 

Products (Zhanjiang) Co., Ltd.; (2) 

Allied Pacific Food (Dalian) Co., Ltd.; 

and (3) Allied Pacific (HK) Co., Ltd. No 

parties commented on this preliminary 

decision. For the final results of this 

review, we continue to find that these 

companies had no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Results 

After evaluating the comments 

received from interested parties and 

record information, we have made two 

changes to the Preliminary Results. 

First, we have elected to use Shantou 

Red Garden Foods’ most recentlysubmitted factors of production (FOP) 

database in calculating its final 

weighted-average dumping margin. 

Second, we have determined that the 

use of partial adverse facts available 

(AFA), pursuant to sections 776(a)–(b) 

of the Act, is appropriate when 

determining the weighted-average 

distance of shrimp suppliers to Shantou 

Red Garden Foods’ factory. For a more 

detailed discussion of these changes, see 

the Final Analysis Memorandum.8

Separate Rate 

In the Preliminary Results, we found 

that information placed on the record by 

Shantou Red Garden Foods 

demonstrated that this entity is entitled 

to separate rate status, which we 

preliminarily granted.9 The American 

Shrimp Processors Association (ASPA) 

argued that Shantou Red Garden Foods 

failed to fully cooperate in responding 

to Commerce’s questions regarding its 

ownership, control, and history, and 

that, as a result, Commerce should find 

that Shantou Red Garden Foods’ 

information is unreliable, rendering it 

ineligible for a separate rate.10 For the 

final results, we continue to find that 

Shantou Red Garden Foods is eligible 

for a separate rate. For a more detailed 

discussion of this issue, see Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of the Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period February 1, 

2018 through January 31, 2019: 

Exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent)

Processing Co., Ltd./Shantou 

Red Garden Foodstuff Co., 

Ltd ........................................... 58.96 

China-Wide Entity 

Commerce’s policy regarding 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.11 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review 

unless a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

entity. Because no party requested a 

review of the China-wide entity in this 

review, the entity is not under review 

and the entity’s rate (i.e., 112.81 

percent) is not subject to change.12

Aside from the no-shipment and 

separate rate companies discussed 

above, Commerce considers all other 

companies for which a review was 

requested (none of which filed a 

separate rate application) to be part of 

the China-wide entity.13 This includes 

Shantou Yuexing Enterprise Company, a 

company that is under review that had 

previously been granted a separate 

rate 14 but that failed to submit either a 

no shipment certification or a separate 

rate certification in this review. No 

parties commented on this preliminary 

decision. For the final results of this 

review, we continue to find that these 

companies (identified in Appendix II) 

should be treated as part of the Chinawide entity. 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.212(b). In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), we have calculated 

importer-specific assessment rates for 

merchandise subject to this review. We 

calculated importer (or customer)- 

specific assessment rates for 

merchandise subject to this review on a 

per-unit (i.e., per-kilogram) basis. 

Specifically, we calculated a per-unit 

assessment rate by aggregating the 

antidumping duties due for all U.S. 

sales to that importer (or customer) and 

divided this amount by the total 

quantity sold to that importer (or 

customer) during the POR. 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 calculate importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem ratios 

based on the estimated entered value. If 

an importer (or customer)-specific 

assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.50 percent), Commerce will 

instruct CBP to liquidate that importer’s 

(or customer’s) entries of subject 

merchandise without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

For entries that were not reported in 

the U.S. sales data submitted by 

Shantou Red Garden Foods during this 

review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 23, 2020 / Notices 83893 

15See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

16We removed all companies that are excluded 

from the order even though entries that are not 

exporter-producer specific to the exclusion 

language would fall under the rate assigned to the 

China-wide entity. 

liquidate such entries at the rate for the 

China-wide entity.15

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this review in the Federal 

Register. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for shipments of 

the subject merchandise from China 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Shantou 

Red Garden Foods, the cash deposit rate 

will be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review; (2) for previously 

investigated or reviewed Chinese and 

non-Chinese exporters not listed above 

that have received a separate rate in a 

prior segment of this proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific cash deposit 

rate published for the completed 

segment of the most recent period; (3) 

for all Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate for the 

China-wide entity (this includes 

Shantou Yuexing Enterprise Company); 

and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the Chinese exporter that 

supplied that non-Chinese exporter. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties has occurred and 

the subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 7, 2019, based on timely 

requests for review, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce 

initiated an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on dioctyl 

terephthalate (DOTP) from the Republic 

of Korea (Korea), covering three 

companies: AKP, Hanwha Chemical, 

and LG Chem.1 Hanwha Chemical 

informed Commerce that it would not 

be participating in the review on 

January 3, 2020.2

On April 21, 2020, in accordance with 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of

Application of Facts Available with 

Adverse Inferences 

Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, 

Commerce is preliminarily relying upon 

facts otherwise available to determine a 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Hanwha Chemical in this review. 

Commerce preliminarily finds that 

necessary information is not available 

on the record, and that Hanwha 

Chemical withheld information 

requested by Commerce, failed to 

provide the requested information in the 

form and manner requested, and 

significantly impeded the proceeding, 

warranting a determination on the basis 

of the facts available under section 

776(a) of the Act. Further, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that Hanwha 

Chemical failed to cooperate to the best 

of its ability, and thus, Commerce is 

applying facts available with adverse 

inferences (AFA) to Hanwha Chemical, 

in accordance with section 776(b) of the 

Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions regarding the application of 

AFA, see the Preliminary Decision
