 SUMMARY: 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Following the publication of the 
                    *Final Results,*
                     we received timely allegations of ministerial errors pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c) from Promarisco, S.A. (Promarisco) and Songa, the respondents selected for individual examination in this administrative review. Specifically, Promarisco claimed that the Department made two ministerial errors: (a) Double-counting costs associated with two unpaid U.S. sales; and (b) incorrectly calculating the 
                    ( print page 53466)
                    average of the payment date discrepancies observed at verification with respect to Promarisco's Spanish sales in the recalculation of third-country imputed credit expenses. 
                    *See*
                     letter from Promarisco dated September 16, 2009. Songa claimed that the Department erred by adding certain general and administrative (G&A) expenses in the recalculation of Songa's indirect selling expense ratio, and including in those expenses antidumping-related expenses that should have been excluded. 
                    *See*
                     letter from Songa dated September 16, 2009. No other party commented on these allegations. A ministerial error, as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), “includes errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers ministerial.” 
                    *See*
                     also 19 CFR 351.224(f). After analyzing the respondents' allegations, we have determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made a ministerial error with respect to the inclusion of antidumping-related expenses in the recalculation of Songa's indirect selling expenses. With respect to Promarisco's allegations that the Department erred by double-counting costs associated with two unpaid U.S. sales, and by incorrectly calculating the average of the payment date discrepancies observed at verification with respect to Promarisco's Spanish sales, we find that neither allegation constituted a ministerial error pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(f) because the Department's calculations accurately reflected the Department's intent as stated in the 
                    *Final Results.*
                     With respect to Songa's allegation that the Department improperly classified certain G&A expenses, other than the antidumping-related expenses discussed above, as indirect selling expenses in its recalculation of Songa's indirect selling expense ratio, we also conclude that no ministerial error was committed under 19 CFR 351.224(f) because the Department's action was properly based on information on the record. For a detailed discussion of these ministerial error allegations, as well as the Department's analysis, see the memorandum entitled “Allegations of Ministerial Errors in the Final Results,” dated October 8, 2009. Therefore, we are hereby amending the 
                    *Final Results*
                     with respect to Songa to correct the ministerial error described above in our calculation of the indirect selling expense ratio, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e). In addition, because the margin we calculated for the respondents not selected for individual examination was based on a simple average of the rates of the two respondents selected for individual examination in this review, Promarisco and Songa, we have recalculated the margin for the non-selected respondents to reflect the change in Songa's margin. Amended Final Results of Review As a result of the correction of the ministerial error with respect to Songa, we determine that weighted-average dumping margins exist for the respondents for the period February 1, 2007, through August 14, 2007, as follows: Manufacturer/exporter
