from Zhanjiang Regal Integrated Marine Resources 

Co., Ltd. (Zhanjiang Regal). Zhanjiang Regal is 

excluded from the Order with respect to 

merchandise manufactured and exported by 

Zhanjiang Regal. See Certain Frozen Warmwater 

Shrimp from the People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Administrative Review; 2011–2012, 78 FR 

56209, 56210 (September 12, 2013). Zhanjiang 

Regal submitted a no-shipment certification for 

exports outside the above combination. However, 

because Zhanjiang Regal has not established its 

eligibility for a separate rate, outside of the 

excluded combination noted above, we 

preliminarily continue to consider it to be part of 

the China-wide entity.

includes the telson and the uropods.

of the Order will be September 15,

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), 

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

five-year review of the Order not later 

than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary 

of the date of the last determination by 

the ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

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

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 

determines that all exporters subject to 

this administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from 

the People’s Republic of China (China) 

are part of the China-wide entity 

because they did not demonstrate their 

eligibility for a separate rate. The period 

of review (POR) is February 1, 2022, 

through January 31, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable September 27, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 1, 2005, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on shrimp from 

China.1 On February 2, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the Order.2 On 

April 11, 2023, based on timely requests 

for an administrative review, Commerce 

initiated this administrative review with 

respect to 139 exporters.3 Subsequently, 

we released U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) data to interested 

parties for comment.4 We received 

timely comments from the Ad Hoc 

Shrimp Trade Action Committee 

(AHSTAC).5

We did not receive a no-shipment 

statement, separate rate application 

(SRA), or separate rate certification 

(SRC) from any company subject to this 

review that had an active separate rate 

during the POR.6

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the 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,7

deveined or not deveined, cooked or 

raw, or otherwise processed in frozen 

form. 

The frozen warmwater shrimp and 

prawn products included in the scope of 

the 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, white-leg 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 the 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 the Order. 

Excluded from the scope are: (1) 

breaded shrimp and prawns (HTSUS 

subheading 1605.20.1020); (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 0306.23.0020 and 

0306.23.0040); (4) shrimp and prawns in 

prepared meals (HTSUS subheading 

1605.20.0510); (5) dried shrimp and 

prawns; (6) Lee Kum Kee’s shrimp 

sauce; (7) canned warmwater shrimp 

and prawns (HTSUS subheading 

1605.20.1040); and (8) certain battered 

shrimp. Battered shrimp is a shrimpbased product: (1) that is produced from 

fresh (or thawed-from-frozen) and

8On April 26, 2011, Commerce amended the 

Order to include dusted shrimp, pursuant to the 

court decision in Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action 

Committee v. United States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330 

(CIT 2010), and the U.S. International Trade 

Commission determination, which found the 

domestic like product to include dusted shrimp.

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act) and 19 CFR 351.213. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Because none of the 139 companies 

subject to this review submitted a noshipment certification to maintain a 

separate rate, an SRA, or a SRC,9

Commerce preliminarily determines 

they have not demonstrated their 

eligibility for separate rate status. As 

such, Commerce preliminarily 

determines that these 139 companies are 

part of the China-wide entity. 

China-Wide Entity 

Commerce’s policy regarding 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.10 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review 

unless a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

China-wide entity.11 Because no review 

of the China-wide entity is being 

conducted, the China-wide entity’s 

entries subject to the review, and the 

rate applicable to the China-wide entity, 

is not subject to change as a result of 

this review. The China-wide entity rate 

is 112.81 percent.12

Public Comment 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results and 

may submit case briefs and/or written 

comments, filed electronically via 

Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping Duty and Countervailing 

Duty Centralized Electronic Service 

System (ACCESS), within 30 days after 

the date of publication of these 

preliminary results of review.13

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in case 

briefs, may be submitted no later than 

seven days after the deadline date for 

case briefs.14 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who 

submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in 

this review are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) a statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of authorities. 

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.15

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain: (1) the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to those issues raised in the 

briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, 

Commerce intends to hold the hearing 

at a date and time to be determined.16

Parties should confirm by telephone the 

date, time, and location of the hearing 

two days before the scheduled date. An 

electronically filed hearing request must 

be received successfully in its entirety 

by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 

on the established deadline. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and CBP shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review.17 We intend to instruct 

CBP to liquidate entries containing 

subject merchandise exported by the 

companies under review that we 

determine in the final results to be part 

of the China-wide entity at the current 

rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 

112.81 percent). 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 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). 

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 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) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters who 

are not under review in this segment of 

the proceeding but who have separate 

rates, the cash deposit rate will continue 

to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 27, 2023 / Notices 66379 

(2) 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 (i.e., 112.81 percent); 

and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results of review, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 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 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results of 

administrative review are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the groundfish methodology 

review meeting is a follow-up to the 

prior review recommendations from the 

May 9, 2023 meeting, which aimed to 

evaluate proposed data inputs, 

modeling approaches, potential 

improvements, and any other pertinent 

information related to the sablefish trip 

limit model used in commercial nontrawl fisheries management. This review 

is planned in preparation for the 2025– 

2026 biennial groundfish management 

cycle. The results of this review are not 

considered final until reviewed by the 

full SSC at a future Pacific Council 

meeting. 

No management actions will be 

decided by the meeting participants. 

The participants’ role will be the 

development of recommendations and 

reports for consideration by the SSC and 

the Pacific Council at a future Pacific 

Council meeting. The Pacific Council 

and Scientific and Statistical Committee 

will consider methodology review 

recommendations for use in informing 

management decisions at their 

November 2023 meeting in Garden 

Grove, California. 

Although nonemergency issues not 

contained in the meeting agenda may be 

discussed, those issues may not be the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of 

marine mammals, with certain 

exceptions. Section 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) 

of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) 

directs the Secretary of Commerce (as 

delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon 

request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and either regulations are 

proposed or, if the taking is limited to 

harassment, a notice of a proposed IHA 

is provided to the public for review. 

Authorization for incidental takings 

shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
