Background

    The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(b)(2004), for administrative reviews of various antidumping 
and countervailing duty orders and findings with February anniversary 
dates. With respect to the antidumping duty orders on Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from Brazil, Ecuador, India, Thailand, the People's Republic of 
China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the initiation of the 
antidumping duty administrative review for these cases will be 
published in a separate initiation notice. The Department also received 
requests to continue the deferral of the 2005 administrative reviews of 
the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on low enriched uranium 
from France.\1\

    \1\ On April 5, 2006, in response to requests, the Department 
deferred the initiation of the 2005 antidumping and countervailing 
duty administrative reviews on imports of low enriched uranium from 
France. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Deferral of Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 
17077 (April 5, 2006). These reviews are being deferred for another 
year based on submissions filed by all parties on February 1, 2007 
and February 28, 2007.
