 AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
 SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (“the Department”) received timely requests to conduct administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on certain frozen warmwater shrimp (“shrimp”) from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (“Vietnam”) and the People's Republic of China (“PRC”). The anniversary month of these orders is February. In accordance with the Department's regulations, we are initiating these administrative reviews.
 EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 2007.

                         (202) 482-3208 or (202) 482-3441, respectively. Background On February 2, 2007, the Department published in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                         its Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 72 FR 5007 (“Notice of Opportunity”). In the Notice of Opportunity, the Department stated “for any party the Department was unable to locate in prior segments, the Department will not accept a request for an administrative review of that party absent new information as to the party's location. Moreover, if the interested party who files a request for review is unable to locate the producer or exporter for which it requested the review, the interested party must provide an explanation of the attempts it made to locate the producer or exporter at the same time it files its request for review, in order for the Secretary to determine if the interested party's attempts were reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii).” See Notice of Opportunity at 72 FR 5008. PRC The Department received timely requests from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee (“Petitioners”), the Louisiana Shrimp Association (“LSA”), Zhanjiang Evergreen Aquatic Product Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Evergreen”), Asian Seafoods (Zhanjiang) Co., Ltd. (“Asian Seafoods”), Hai Li Aquatic Co., Ltd. Zhao An, Fujian (“Hai Li”),[1]
                        
                         and the Allied Pacific Group,[2]
                        
                         in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), during the anniversary month of February, for administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on shrimp from the PRC. Petitioners requested an administrative review for 401 companies, while LSA requested an administrative review for 162 companies. Subsequently, Petitioners withdrew their request for review for the PRC for all but eight companies. See Petitioners' letters dated March 1, 2007, March 16, 2007, and March 27, 2007. With respect to the LSA's requests for administrative review the Department notes that, for the following 58 companies, the addresses provided for those entities were identical to those provided to the Department in the previous administrative review and were found to be undeliverable: Allied Pacific Aquatic Products (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., Allied Pacific Food, Chengai Nichi Lan Foods Co., Ltd., Dhin Foong Trdg, Dongri Aquatic Products Freezing Plants Shengping, Evergreen Aquatic Product Science and Technology, Formosa Plastics, Fuqing Xuhu Aquatic Food Trdg, Fuchang Trdg, Fuqing Chaohui Aquatic Food Trdg, Fuqing City Dongyi Trdg, Fuqing Dongwei Aquatic Products Industry Co., Ltd., Fuqing Dongyi Trdg, Fuqing Fuchang Trdg, Fuqing Longwei Aquatic Foodstuff, Gallant Ocean (Liangjiang) Co., Ltd., Gaomi Shenyuan Foodstuff, Guangxi Lian Chi Home Appliance Co, Hainan Jiadexin Aquatic Products Co., Ltd., IT Logistics, Juxian Zhonglu Foodstuffs, Logistics Harbour Dock, Longwei Aquatic Foodstuff, Master International Logistics, Meizhou Aquatic Products, Nichi Lan Food Co., Ltd.

See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of the 2004/2006 Administrative Review and Preliminary Intent to Rescind 2004/2006 New Shipper Review, 72 FR 10645, 10647-8 (March 9, 2007) (“PRC Shrimp 2004-2006 Preliminary Results”) and Memorandum to the File, from Anya Naschak, regarding: 
                        *Placement of Undeliverable Addresses Information from the 2004-2006 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China on the Record of the 2006-2007 Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China*, dated April 2, 2007 (“PRC Undeliverable Addresses Memo”) at Attachments I and II. The LSA requested that the Department reconsider its decision, as defined in the Notice of Opportunity, to not accept a review request for a company absent new address information. See LSA's PRC Review Requests at 4-5. However, although the LSA states that it attempted to find additional address information, the LSA 
                        ( print page 17096)
                        has provided no additional address information for any of these companies, beyond what was previously provided in the 2004-2006 administrative review of shrimp from the PRC. See PRC Undeliverable Addresses Memos at Attachment I. Therefore, although the LSA requested that the Department reconsider its decision, we continue to find that it is inappropriate to initiate an administrative review of companies which we know that we cannot locate. Based on previous unsuccessful efforts by the Department to locate these companies, further efforts would be futile, absent new information as to their location. Accordingly, the Department is not initiating on the above-referenced 58 companies from the PRC. In addition, the LSA has requested that the Department conduct an administrative review from the PRC of Zhanjiang Guolian Aquatic Products Co., Ltd. (“Guolian”). However, Guolian is excluded from the antidumping duty order on shrimp from the PRC. See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 5149 (February 1, 2005) (“PRC Shrimp Order”). Thus, the Department is also not initiating an administrative review for Guolian. Therefore, the Department is hereby initiating the second administrative review of the antidumping duty order on shrimp from the PRC for the remaining 105 companies for which the Department has received a sufficient request for review. Vietnam The Department received timely requests from Petitioners, the LSA, and certain individual companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), during the anniversary month of February, for administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on shrimp from Vietnam. Petitioners requested an administrative review for 92 companies, while the LSA requested an administrative review for 84 companies from Vietnam. On February 28, 2007, Grobest & I-Mei Industrial (Vietnam) Co. Ltd. (“Grobest”), Vietnam Fish-One Co., Ltd (“Vietnam Fish-One”), and 20 other individual exporters,[3]
                        
                         self-requested an administrative review of their sales during the POR. On March 30, 2007, Petitioners withdrew their review request of 58 companies. Therefore, the Department is hereby initiating administrative reviews of the antidumping duty order on shrimp from Vietnam for the 100 companies for which the Department has received a sufficient request for review. Initiation of Reviews In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), we are initiating administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on shrimp from Vietnam and the PRC. We intend to issue the final results of these reviews on approximately February 28, 2008. Period to be

                             If one of the below-named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of shrimp from Vietnam that have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single Vietnam entity of which the named exporter is a part.5
                             Some companies appear to be listed twice, but there are two addresses provided in the administrative review requests for similar named companies and therefore, we are listing them separately.6
                             If one of the below-named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of shrimp from the PRC that have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporter is a part.
 Selection of Respondents Section 777A(c)(1) of the Act directs the Department to calculate individual dumping margins for each known exporter and producer of the subject merchandise. Where it is not practicable to examine all known producers/exporters of subject merchandise because of the large number of such companies, section 777A(c)(2) of the Act permits the Department to limit its examination to either (1) a sample of exporters, producers, or types of products that is statistically valid based on the information available at the time of selection; or (2) exporters and producers accounting for the largest volume of subject merchandise from the exporting country that can be reasonably examined. Due to the large number of firms requested for these administrative reviews and the resulting administrative burden to review each company for which a request has been made, the Department is exercising its authority to limit the number of respondents selected for review. See Section 777A(c) of the Act. The Department intends to examine the largest exporters and producers by volume. Therefore, the Department has determined to send quantity and value (“Q&V”) questionnaires to the companies (or groups of companies where applicable) named above for the PRC and Vietnam to determine the largest exporters. See “Q&V QUESTIONNAIRE” section below for the procedures in this regard. Separate Rates In proceedings involving non-market economy (“NME”) countries, the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to investigation in an NME country this single rate unless an exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to be entitled to a separate rate. To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from government control of its export activities to be entitled to a separate rate, the Department's analysis mirrors that established in the Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991) (“Sparklers”), as amplified by the Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994) (“Silicon Carbide”). In accordance with the separate rate criteria, the Department assigns separate rates to companies in NME cases only if respondents can demonstrate the absence of both de jure and de facto government control over export activities. The Department recently modified the process by which exporters and producers may obtain separate rate status in NME investigations. See Policy Bulletin 05.1 Separate Rates Practice and Application of Combination Rates in Antidumping Investigations Involving Non-Market Economy Countries, (April 5, 2005), available on the Department's Web site at 
                        *http://ia.ita.doc.gov/​policy/​bull05-1.pdf*. The process now requires the submission of a separate rate status application. Due to the large number of companies subject to administrative reviews in both the Vietnam and the PRC proceedings, the Department is requiring all companies listed above that wish to qualify for separate rate 
                        ( print page 17100)
                        status in these administrative reviews to complete, as appropriate, either a separate rate status application or certification, as described below. Because the Department intends to select the mandatory respondents by selecting the exporters/producers accounting for the largest volume of subject merchandise exported to the United States during the period of review, the Department will require all potential respondents to demonstrate their eligibility for a separate rate. For those respondents not representing the largest volume of subject merchandise exported to the United States, the Department will make separate rate determinations for each company. Only those respondents with separate rate status will be included in the group receiving the weighted-average margin calculated from the selected respondents. However, for any respondent that is determined later in this segment to have provided inaccurate information regarding its separate rate status, the Department may apply facts otherwise available with an adverse inference if it determines that such respondent failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability. For these administrative reviews, in order to demonstrate separate rate eligibility, the Department requires companies for which a review was requested and who currently have separate rates status to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The certification form will be available on the Department's Web site at 
                        *http://www.trade.gov/​ia/​*
                         on the date of publication of this 
                        **Federal Register**
                         notice. In responding to the certification, please follow the “Instructions for Filing the Certification” in the Separate Rate Certification. Certifications for both Vietnam and the PRC are due to the Department by close of business on April 23, 2007. The deadline and requirement for submitting a certification applies equally to NME-owned companies, wholly foreign-owned companies, and foreign resellers who purchase the subject merchandise and export it to the United States. The Department requires, to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate, a separate rates status application for companies that do not currently have separate rates status. The separate rate status application will be available on the Department's Web site at 
                        *http://www.trade.gov/​ia/​*
                         on the date of publication of this 
                        **Federal Register**
                         notice. In responding to the separate rate status application, please refer to instructions contained within the application. Separate rate status applications are due to the Department by close of business on June 1, 2007. The deadline and requirement for submitting a separate rate status application applies equally to NME-owned companies, wholly-foreign owned companies, and foreign resellers that purchase the subject merchandise and export it to the United States. Further, due to the time constraints imposed by our statutory deadlines, the Department may be unable to grant any extensions for the submission of separate rate certifications or separate rate status applications. Q&V Questionnaire As discussed above, in advance of issuing the antidumping questionnaire, we will also be requiring all parties for whom a review is requested to respond to a Q&V questionnaire, which requests information on the respective quantity and U.S. dollar sales value of all exports of shrimp to the United States during the period February 1, 2006 through January 31, 2007. The Department will send the Q&V questionnaire to the companies (or groups of companies where applicable) named above. In addition, the Q&V questionnaire will be available on the Department's Web site at 
                        *http://www.trade.gov/​ia/​*. The responses to the Q&V questionnaire are due to the Department by close of business on April 23, 2007. Due to the time constraints imposed by our statutory and regulatory deadlines, the Department may be unable to grant any extensions for the submission of the Q&V questionnaire responses. In responding to the Q&V questionnaire, please refer to the instructions contained in the Q&V questionnaire. All firms requested for review and seeking separate rate status in these administrative reviews must submit a separate rate status application or certification (as appropriate) as described above, and a complete response to the Q&V questionnaire, within the time limits established, and discussed above in this notice of initiation, in order to receive consideration for separate rate status. For parties that fail to timely respond to the requisite separate rate status application/certification, or to the Q&V questionnaire, the Department may resort to the use of facts otherwise available, and may employ an adverse inference. All information submitted by respondents in this administrative review is subject to verification. As discussed above, due to the large number of parties in these proceedings, and the Department's need to complete its proceedings within the statutory deadlines, the Department will be limited in its ability to extend deadlines on the above submissions. As noted above, the separate rate certification, and the separate rate status application will be available on the Department's Web site at 
                        *http://www.trade.gov/​ia/​*, in addition, the Q&V questionnaire will be mailed to the parties named above and is also available on the Department's Web site at 
                        *http://www.trade.gov/​ia/​*. Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Instructions for filing such applications may be found on the Department's Web site at 
                        *http://ia.ita.doc.gov/​*. This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). Dated: April 2, 2007. James C. Doyle, Office Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9.
