telephone the date, time, and location of 

the hearing. 

Unless the deadline is extended 

pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 

the Act, the Department will issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

its analysis of issues raised in any such 

comments or at a hearing, if requested, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results. See section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h). 

Assessment Rates 

The Department shall determine, and 

CBP will assess, antidumping duties on 

all appropriate entries in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). The 

Department intends to issue appropriate 

assessment instructions for the 

companies subject to this review 

directly to CBP 15 days after publication 

of the final results of review. 

Mukand reported that it was the 

importer of record for all of its U.S. sales 

of subject merchandise. If Mukand’s 

antidumping rate exceeds 0.5 percent ad 

valorem for the final results of this 

review, we will instruct CBP to assess 

duties on all of Mukand’s entries. See 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(2). 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment 

Policy Notice). This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Mukand 

for which this company did not know 

that its merchandise was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if 

there is no rate for the intermediate 

involved in the transaction. For a full 

discussion of this clarification, see 

Assessment Policy Notice. 

Pursuant to the revocation of the 

Order with regard to Venus effective 

February 1, 2010, and in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.222(f)(3), the 

Department directed CBP to terminate 

the suspension of liquidation for all 

entries of SSBar from India produced/ 

exported by Venus, effective February 1, 

2010, as indicated in Venus Revocation 

Final. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

completion of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of SSBar from India 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withdrawn from warehouse, for 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)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for the reviewed companies 

will be the rate established in the final 

results of this administrative review, 

except if the rate is less than 0.5 percent 

and is, therefore, de minimis, the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent final results in which that 

manufacturer or exporter participated; 

(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 

in this review, but was covered in a 

previous review or the original less than 

fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent final results for the manufacturer 

of the merchandise; and (4) if neither 

the exporter nor the manufacturer is a 

firm covered in this or any previous 

review conducted by the Department, 

the cash deposit rate will be 12.45 

percent, the ‘‘all others’’ rate established 

in the LTFV investigation. See Notice of 

Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value: Stainless Steel Bar 

from India, 59 FR 66915 (December 28, 

1994). These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

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 review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act.

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 

From India: Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, and Preliminary No Shipment 

Determination 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Department) is conducting the sixth 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from 

India. The respondents which the 

Department selected for individual 

examination are Apex Exports (Apex) 

and Falcon Marine Exports Limited 

(Falcon). The respondents which were 

not selected for individual examination 

are listed in the ‘‘Preliminary Results of 

the Review’’ section of this notice. The 

period of review (POR) is February 1, 

2010, through January 31, 2011. 

We preliminarily determine that 

Falcon has not made sales at below 

normal value (NV), while Apex has 

made sales at below NV, and, therefore, 

these sales are subject to antidumping 

duties. In addition, based on the 

preliminary results for the respondents 

selected for individual examination, we 

have preliminarily determined a margin 

for those companies that were not 

individually examined. 

If the preliminary results are adopted 

in our final results of administrative 

review, we will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 6, 2012.

On February 1, 2011, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order of certain 

frozen warmwater shrimp from India for 

the period February 1, 2010, through 

January 31, 2011.2 In response to timely 

requests from interested parties 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1) and 

(2) to conduct an administrative review 

of the U.S. sales of shrimp by numerous 

Indian producers/exporters, the 

Department published a notice of 

initiation of administrative review for 

185 companies.3

In the Initiation Notice, the 

Department indicated that, in the event 

that we would limit the respondents 

selected for individual examination in 

accordance with section 777A(c)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), we would select mandatory 

respondents for individual examination 

based upon CBP entry data. See 

Initiation Notice, 76 FR at 18157. In 

April 2011, we received comments on 

the issue of respondent selection from 

the petitioner,4 the American Shrimp 

Processors Association (ASPA), and 

Apex. 

In April and May 2011, we received 

statements from 13 companies that 

indicated that they had no shipments of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. Also in May 

2011, after considering the large number 

of potential exporters or producers 

involved in this administrative review, 

and the resources available to the 

Department, we determined that it was 

not practicable to examine all exporters/ 

producers of subject merchandise for 

which a review was requested.5 As a 

result, pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B) 

of the Act, we determined that we could 

reasonably individually examine only 

the two largest producers/exporters 

accounting for the largest volume of 

shrimp from India during the POR (i.e., 

Apex and Falcon). Accordingly, we 

issued the antidumping duty 

questionnaire to these companies. 

In June and July 2011, we received 

responses from Apex and Falcon to 

section A (i.e., the section related to 

general information), and sections B and 

C (i.e., the sections covering comparison 

market and U.S. sales, respectively) of 

the questionnaire. 

In August 2011, we selected Japan as 

the appropriate third country 

comparison market for Falcon.6 Also in 

this month, we received the response to 

section D (i.e., the section covering cost 

of production (COP) and constructed 

value (CV) of the questionnaire) of the 

questionnaire from Falcon, as well as 

requests from the petitioner and the 

ASPA that the Department initiate a 

sales-below-cost investigation related to 

Apex’s sales to the United Kingdom.7

In September 2011, we initiated a 

sales-below-cost investigation for 

Apex.8 On this same date, we required 

Apex to respond to section D of the 

questionnaire. Apex submitted its 

response in October 2011. 

On October 5, 2011, the Department 

extended the preliminary results in the 

current review to no later than February 

28, 2012.9 From October 2011 through 

January 2012, we issued supplemental 

sales and cost questionnaires to Apex 

and Falcon. Apex and Falcon responded 

to these questionnaires from November 

2011 through February 2012. 

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this order includes 

certain frozen warmwater shrimp and 

prawns, whether wild-caught (ocean 

harvested) or farm-raised (produced by 

aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shellon or peeled, tail-on or tail-off,10

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 

this 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, whiteleg 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 Thai white prawn (Penaeus 

indicus). 

Frozen shrimp and prawns that are 

packed with marinade, spices or sauce 

are included in the scope of this 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 this order. 

Excluded from the scope are: (1) 

Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTSUS 

subheading 1605.20.10.20); (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 0306.23.00.20 and 

0306.23.00.40); (4) shrimp and prawns 

in prepared meals (HTSUS subheading 

1605.20.05.10); (5) dried shrimp and 

prawns; (6) canned warmwater shrimp 

and prawns (HTSUS subheading 

1605.20.10.40); and (7) certain battered 

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

from fresh (or thawed-from-frozen) and 

peeled shrimp; (2) to which a ‘‘dusting’’ 

layer of rice or wheat flour of at least 95 

percent purity has been applied; (3) 

with the entire surface of the shrimp 

flesh thoroughly and evenly coated with 

the flour; (4) with the non-shrimp 

content of the end product constituting 

between four and ten percent of the 

product’s total weight after being 

dusted, but prior to being frozen; and (5) 

that is subjected to IQF freezing 

immediately after application of the 

dusting layer. When dusted in

this order is dispositive. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

As noted in the ‘‘Background’’ section 

above, in April and May 2011, 13 

companies notified the Department that 

they had no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. The Department subsequently 

confirmed with CBP the no-shipment 

claim made by nine of these companies. 

Because the evidence on the record 

indicates that these companies did not 

export subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following nine companies had no 

reviewable transactions during the POR: 

(1) Accelerated Freeze Drying 

Company Ltd.11

(2) Amulya Seafoods 

(3) Baby Marine International 

(4) Baby Marine Sarass 

(5) BMR Exports 

(6) Castlerock Fisheries Ltd. 

(7) Esmario Export Enterprises 

(8) Koluthara Exports Ltd. 

(9) Penver Products (P) Ltd. 

Since the implementation of the 1997 

regulations, our practice concerning noshipment respondents has been to 

rescind the administrative review if the 

respondent certifies that it had no 

shipments and we have confirmed 

through our examination of CBP data 

that there were no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR.12 As a 

result, in such circumstances, we 

normally instruct CBP to liquidate any 

entries from the no-shipment company 

at the deposit rate in effect on the date 

of entry. 

In our May 6, 2003, ‘‘automatic 

assessment’’ clarification, we explained 

that, where respondents in an 

administrative review demonstrate that 

they had no knowledge of sales through 

resellers to the United States, we would 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the all-others rate applicable to the 

proceeding.13

Because ‘‘as entered’’ liquidation 

instructions do not alleviate the 

concerns which the May 2003 

clarification was intended to address, 

we find it appropriate in this case to 

instruct CBP to liquidate any existing 

entries of merchandise produced by the 

nine companies listed above, and 

exported by other parties, at the allothers rate, should we continue to find 

that these companies had no shipments 

of subject merchandise during the POR 

in our final results.14 In addition, the 

Department finds that it is more 

consistent with the May 2003 

clarification not to rescind the review in 

part in these circumstances but, rather, 

to complete the review with respect to 

these nine companies and issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP based 

on the final results of the review. See 

the ‘‘Assessment Rates’’ section of this 

notice, below. 

With respect to the remaining four 

companies (i.e., Kay Kay Exports, Sharat 

Industries Limited, Uniroyal Marine 

Exports Ltd., and Veejay Impex) which 

certified that they had no shipments 

during the POR, we have requested 

entry documentation from CBP to clarify 

the no-shipment certifications. Because 

this information was not received in 

time for use in the preliminary results, 

we are unable to preliminarily conclude 

that Kay Kay Exports, Sharat Industries 

Limited, Uniroyal Marine Exports, and 

Veejay Impex had no reviewable 

transactions in this administrative 

review. Therefore we have assigned 

each of these companies a preliminary 

dumping rate based on the margin 

calculated for Apex (because it is the 

only mandatory respondent for which 

we calculated an above de minimis 

margin). However, we plan to consider 

the CBP entry documentation in the 

final results. 

Comparisons to Normal Value 

To determine whether sales of shrimp 

from India to the United States were 

made at less than NV, we compared the 

export price (EP) to the NV, as described 

in the ‘‘Export Price’’ and ‘‘Normal 

Value’’ sections of this notice. 

Pursuant to sections 773(a)(1)(B)(ii) 

and 777A(d)(2) of the Act, for Apex and 

Falcon, we compared the EPs of 

individual U.S. transactions to the 

weighted-average NV of the foreign like 

product in the appropriate 

corresponding calendar month where 

there were sales made in the ordinary 

course of trade, as discussed in the 

‘‘Cost of Production Analysis’’ section 

below. 

Product Comparisons 

In accordance with section 771(16)(A) 

of the Act, we considered all products 

produced by Apex and Falcon covered 

by the description in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Order’’ section, above, to be foreign like 

products for purposes of determining 

appropriate product comparisons to 

U.S. sales. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.414(e)(2), we compared U.S. sales of 

shrimp to sales of shrimp made in the 

selected third country market within the 

contemporaneous window period, 

which extends from three months prior 

to the month of the first U.S. sale until 

two months after the month of the last 

U.S. sale. 

Where there were no sales of identical 

merchandise in the comparison market 

made in the ordinary course of trade to 

compare to U.S. sales, according to 

section 771(16)(B) of the Act, we 

compared U.S. sales to sales of the most 

similar foreign like product made in the 

ordinary course of trade. In making the 

product comparisons, we matched 

foreign like products based on the 

physical characteristics reported by 

Apex and Falcon in the following order: 

Cooked form, head status, count size, 

organic certification, shell status, vein 

status, tail status, other shrimp 

preparation, frozen form, flavoring, 

container weight, presentation, species, 

and preservative. Where there were no 

sales of identical or similar 

merchandise, we made product 

comparisons using constructed value 

(CV), as discussed in the ‘‘Calculation of 

Normal Value Based on Constructed 

Value’’ section, below. See section 

773(a)(4) of the Act. 

Export Price 

For all U.S. sales made by Apex and 

Falcon, we used EP methodology, in 

accordance with section 772(a) of the 

Act, because the subject merchandise 

was sold by the producer/exporter 

outside of the United States directly to 

the first unaffiliated purchaser in the 

United States prior to importation and 

constructed export price (CEP)

16Where NV is based on CV, we determine the 

NV LOT based on the LOT of the sales from which 

we derive selling expenses, general and 

administrative (G&A) expenses, and profit for CV, 

where possible.

methodology was not otherwise 

warranted based on the facts of record. 

A. Apex 

We based EP on packed prices to the 

first unaffiliated purchaser in the United 

States. We made deductions from the 

starting price for foreign inland freight 

expenses, foreign brokerage and 

handling expenses, foreign 

miscellaneous shipment charges, 

international freight expenses, terminal 

handling charges, marine insurance 

expenses, U.S. customs duties 

(including harbor maintenance fees and 

merchandise processing fees), U.S. 

brokerage and handling expenses, and 

U.S. inland freight expenses, where 

appropriate, in accordance with section 

772(c)(2)(A) of the Act. 

B. Falcon 

We based EP on packed prices to the 

first unaffiliated purchaser in the United 

States. Where appropriate, we made 

deductions from the starting price for 

discounts, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.401(c). We also made deductions 

from the starting price for cold storage 

expenses, loading and unloading 

expenses, trailer hire expenses, foreign 

inland freight expenses, port charges, 

export survey charges, terminal 

handling charges, foreign brokerage and 

handling expenses, international freight 

expenses, marine insurance expenses, 

U.S. customs duties (including harbor 

maintenance fees and merchandise 

processing fees), and U.S. brokerage and 

handling expenses, where appropriate, 

in accordance with section 772(c)(2)(A) 

of the Act. 

Normal Value 

A. Home Market Viability and Selection 

of Comparison Markets 

In order to determine whether there 

was a sufficient volume of sales in the 

home market to serve as a viable basis 

for calculating NV, we compared the 

volume of home market sales of the 

foreign like product to the volume of 

U.S. sales of the subject merchandise, in 

accordance with section 773(a)(1)(C) of 

the Act. 

We determined that the aggregate 

volume of home market sales of the 

foreign like product for each of the 

respondents was insufficient to permit a 

proper comparison with U.S. sales of 

the subject merchandise. Regarding 

Apex, we selected the United Kingdom 

as the comparison market because it was 

Apex’s only viable third country market. 

For Falcon, we selected Japan as the 

comparison market because, among 

other things, Falcon’s sales of foreign 

like product in Japan were the most 

similar to the subject merchandise. For 

further discussion, see the Falcon Third 

Country Market Memo. Therefore, as the 

basis for comparison market sales, we 

used sales to the United Kingdom and 

Japan, respectively, for Apex and 

Falcon, in accordance with section 

773(a)(1)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.404. 

B. Level of Trade 

Section 773(a)(1)(B)(i) of the Act 

states that, to the extent practicable, the 

Department will calculate NV based on 

sales at the same level of trade (LOT) as 

the EP or CEP. Sales are made at 

different LOTs if they are made at 

different marketing stages (or their 

equivalent). See 19 CFR 351.412(c)(2). 

Substantial differences in selling 

activities are a necessary, but not 

sufficient, condition for determining 

that there is a difference in the stages of 

marketing.15 In order to determine 

whether the comparison market sales 

were at different stages in the marketing 

process than the U.S. sales, we reviewed 

the distribution system in each market 

(i.e., the chain of distribution), 

including selling functions, class of 

customer (customer category), and the 

level of selling expenses for each type 

of sale. 

Pursuant to section 773(a)(1)(B)(i) of 

the Act, in identifying LOTs for EP and 

comparison market sales (i.e., NV based 

on either home market or third country 

prices),16 we consider the starting prices 

before any adjustments. For CEP sales, 

we consider only the selling activities 

reflected in the price after the deduction 

of expenses and profit under section 

772(d) of the Act.17

When the Department is unable to 

match U.S. sales of the foreign like 

product in the comparison market at the 

same LOT as the EP or CEP, the 

Department may compare the U.S. sale 

to sales at a different LOT in the 

comparison market. In comparing EP or 

CEP sales at a different LOT in the 

comparison market, where available 

data make it possible, we make a LOT 

adjustment under section 773(a)(7)(A) of 

the Act. Finally, for CEP sales only, if 

the NV LOT is at a more advanced stage 

of distribution than the LOT of the CEP 

and there is no basis for determining 

whether the difference in LOTs between 

NV and CEP affects price comparability 

(i.e., no LOT adjustment is possible), the 

Department shall grant a CEP offset, as 

provided in section 773(a)(7)(B) of the 

Act. See, e.g., OJ from Brazil, 75 FR at 

51001. 

In this administrative review, we 

obtained information from both 

respondents regarding the marketing 

stages involved in making the reported 

foreign market and U.S. sales, including 

a description of the selling activities 

performed by each respondent for each 

channel of distribution. Companyspecific LOT findings are summarized 

below. 

1. Apex 

Apex reported that it made EP sales 

in the U.S. market through a single 

channel of distribution (i.e., to trading 

companies). We examined the selling 

activities performed for U.S. sales and 

found that Apex performed the 

following selling functions: customer 

contact and price negotiation; order 

processing; arranging for freight and the 

provision of customs clearance/ 

brokerage services (in India and the 

United States); cold storage and 

inventory maintenance; qualityassurance-related activities; and 

banking-related activities. These selling 

activities can be generally grouped into 

four selling function categories for 

analysis: (1) Sales and marketing; (2) 

freight and delivery; (3) inventory 

maintenance and warehousing; and (4) 

warranty and technical support. 

Accordingly, based on the selling 

function categories, we find that Apex 

performed sales and marketing, freight 

and delivery services, and inventory 

maintenance and warehousing for U.S. 

sales. Because all sales in the United 

States are made through a single 

distribution channel (i.e., direct sales to 

unaffiliated customers) and the selling 

activities to Apex’s customers did not 

vary within this channel, we 

preliminarily determine that there is 

one LOT in the U.S. market. 

With respect to the third country 

market, Apex also reported that it made 

sales to trading companies and that all 

selling functions were performed at the 

same levels of intensity as in the U.S. 

market. We examined the selling 

activities performed for third country 

sales and found that Apex performed 

the following selling functions: 

Customer contact and price negotiation; 

order processing; arranging for freight 

and the provision of customs clearance/ 

brokerage services (in India); cold 

storage and inventory maintenance;

quality-assurance-related activities; and 

banking-related activities. Accordingly, 

based on these selling functions noted 

above, we find that Apex performed 

sales and marketing, freight and 

delivery services, and inventory 

maintenance and warehousing for all 

third country sales. Because all third 

country sales are made through a single 

distribution channel and the selling 

activities to Apex’s customers did not 

vary within this channel, we 

preliminarily determine that there is 

one LOT in the third country market for 

Apex. 

Finally, we compared the U.S. LOT to 

the third country market LOT and found 

that the selling functions performed for 

U.S. and third country market 

customers do not differ, as Apex 

performed the same selling functions at 

the same relative level of intensity in 

both markets. Therefore, we determine 

that sales to the U.S. and third country 

markets during the POR were made at 

the same LOT, and as a result, no LOT 

adjustment is warranted. 

2. Falcon 

Falcon reported that it made EP sales 

in the U.S. market to trading companies. 

We examined the selling activities 

performed for U.S. sales and found that 

Falcon performed the following selling 

functions: Customer contact and price 

negotiation; order processing; arranging 

for freight and the provision of customs 

clearance/brokerage services (in India 

and the United States); cold storage and 

inventory maintenance; qualityassurance-related activities; and 

banking-related activities. These selling 

activities can be generally grouped into 

four selling function categories for 

analysis: (1) Sales and marketing; (2) 

freight and delivery; (3) inventory 

maintenance and warehousing; and (4) 

warranty and technical support. 

Accordingly, based on the selling 

function categories, we find that Falcon 

performed sales and marketing, freight 

and delivery services, and inventory 

maintenance and warehousing for U.S. 

sales. Because all sales in the United 

States are made through a single 

distribution channel (i.e., direct sales to 

unaffiliated customers) and the selling 

activities to Falcon’s customers did not 

vary within this channel, we 

preliminarily determine that there is 

one LOT in the U.S. market. 

With respect to the third country 

market, Falcon reported that it made 

sales to trading companies and that all 

selling functions were performed at the 

same levels of intensity as in the U.S. 

market. We examined the selling 

activities performed for third country 

sales and found that Falcon performed 

the following selling functions: 

Customer contact and price negotiation; 

order processing; arranging for freight 

and the provision of customs clearance/ 

brokerage services (in India); cold 

storage and inventory maintenance; 

quality-assurance-related activities; and 

banking-related activities. Accordingly, 

based on these selling functions noted 

above, we find that Falcon performed 

sales and marketing, freight and 

delivery services, and inventory 

maintenance and warehousing for all 

third country sales. Because all third 

country sales are made through a single 

distribution channel and the selling 

activities to Falcon’s customers did not 

vary within this channel, we 

preliminarily determine that there is 

one LOT in the third country market for 

Falcon. 

Finally, we compared the EP LOT to 

the third country market LOT and found 

that the selling functions performed for 

U.S. and third country market 

customers do not differ, as Falcon 

performed the same selling functions at 

the same relative level of intensity in 

both markets. Therefore, we determine 

that sales to the U.S. and third country 

markets during the POR were made at 

the same LOT, and as a result, no LOT 

adjustment is warranted. 

C. Cost of Production Analysis 

On August 12, 2011, the petitioner 

and the ASPA alleged that Apex made 

sales to the United Kingdom that were 

below the COP. Based on our analysis 

of the petitioner’s allegation, we found 

that there were reasonable grounds to 

believe or suspect that Apex’s sales of 

shrimp in the United Kingdom were 

made at prices below its COP. 

Accordingly, pursuant to section 773(b) 

of the Act, we initiated a sales-belowcost investigation to determine whether 

Apex’s sales were made at prices below 

its COP. See Sales-Below-Cost-Memo for 

Apex. 

In addition, we found that Falcon 

made sales in the same comparison 

market (i.e., Japan) below the COP in the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding as of the date of initiation of 

this review, and such sales were 

disregarded.18 Thus, in accordance with 

section 773(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Act, we 

preliminarily find that there are 

reasonable grounds to believe or suspect 

that Falcon made sales in the third 

country market at prices below the cost 

of producing the merchandise during 

the current POR. 

1. Calculation of Cost of Production 

In accordance with section 773(b)(3) 

of the Act, we calculated the 

respondents’ COPs based on the sum of 

their costs of materials and conversion 

for the foreign like product, plus 

amounts for G&A expenses and interest 

expenses (see ‘‘Test of Comparison 

Market Sales Prices’’ section, below, for 

treatment of third country selling 

expenses). 

The Department relied on the COP 

data submitted by each respondent in its 

most recently submitted cost database 

for the COP calculation, except that we 

revised the financial expenses reported 

by each respondent to exclude claimed 

interest income received on 

antidumping duty deposit refunds.19

Based on our review of the record 

evidence, neither Apex nor Falcon 

appeared to experience significant 

changes in the cost of manufacturing 

during the POR. Therefore, we followed 

our normal methodology of calculating 

an annual weighted-average cost. 

2. Test of Comparison Market Sales 

Prices 

On a product-specific basis, we 

compared the adjusted weightedaverage COP to the comparison market 

sales prices of the foreign like product, 

as required under section 773(b) of the 

Act, in order to determine whether the 

sale prices were below the COP. For 

purposes of this comparison, we used 

COP exclusive of selling and packing 

expenses. The prices were exclusive of 

any applicable movement charges, 

discounts, direct and indirect selling 

expenses, and packing expenses. 

3. Results of the COP Test 

In determining whether to disregard 

third country sales made at prices below 

the COP, we examined, in accordance 

with sections 773(b)(1)(A) and (B) of the 

Act: (1) whether, within an extended 

period of time, such sales were made in 

substantial quantities; and (2) whether 

such sales were made at prices which 

permitted the recovery of all costs 

within a reasonable period of time in 

the normal course of trade. In 

accordance with sections 773(b)(2)(B)

20See the February 28, 2012, memorandum from 

David Crespo to the file entitled, ‘‘Calculation 

Adjustments for Falcon Marine Exports Limited for 

the Preliminary Results in the 2010–2011 

Administrative Review of Certain Frozen 

Warmwater Shrimp From India.’’ 

and (C) of the Act, where less than 20 

percent of the respondent’s third 

country sales of a given product are at 

prices less than the COP, we do not 

disregard any below-cost sales of that 

product because we determine that in 

such instances the below-cost sales were 

not made within an extended period of 

time and in ‘‘substantial quantities.’’ 

Where 20 percent or more of a 

respondent’s sales of a given product are 

at prices less than the COP, we 

disregard the below-cost sales when: (1) 

They were made within an extended 

period of time in ‘‘substantial 

quantities,’’ in accordance with sections 

773(b)(2)(B) and (C) of the Act; and (2) 

based on our comparison of prices to the 

weighted-average COPs for the POR, 

they were at prices which would not 

permit the recovery of all costs within 

a reasonable period of time, in 

accordance with section 773(b)(2)(D) of 

the Act. 

We found that, for certain products, 

more than 20 percent of Apex and 

Falcon’s third country sales were at 

prices less than the COP and, in 

addition, such sales did not provide for 

the recovery of costs within a reasonable 

period of time. We therefore excluded 

these sales and used the remaining sales 

as the basis for determining NV, in 

accordance with section 773(b)(1) of the 

Act. 

For those U.S. sales of subject 

merchandise for which there were no 

comparable third country sales in the 

ordinary course of trade, we compared 

EP to CV in accordance with section 

773(a)(4) of the Act. See ‘‘Calculation of 

Normal Value Based on Constructed 

Value’’ section below. 

D. Calculation of Normal Value Based 

on Comparison Market Prices 

1. Apex 

For Apex, we calculated NV based on 

delivered prices to unaffiliated 

customers in the United Kingdom. We 

made adjustments to the starting price, 

where appropriate, for discounts, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.401(c). We 

also made deductions for foreign inland 

freight expenses, foreign brokerage and 

handling expenses, various foreign 

miscellaneous shipment charges and 

international freight expenses 

(including terminal handling charges), 

under section 773(a)(6)(B) of the Act. 

In addition, we made adjustments 

under section 773(a)(6)(C)(iii) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.410 for differences in 

circumstances of sale for direct selling 

expenses (including bank charges, 

Export Credit Guarantee Corporation 

(ECGC) fees, export inspection agency 

(EIA) fees, imputed credit expenses, and 

other direct selling expenses), and 

commissions. Because commissions 

were paid only in the comparison 

market, we made an upward adjustment 

to NV for the lesser of: (1) The amount 

of commission paid in the comparison 

market; or (2) the amount of indirect 

selling expenses (including inventory 

carrying costs) incurred in the U.S. 

market. See 19 CFR 351.410(e). 

We made adjustments for differences 

in costs attributable to differences in the 

physical characteristics of the 

merchandise, in accordance with 

section 773(a)(6)(C)(ii) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.411. We also deducted third 

country packing costs and added U.S. 

packing costs, in accordance with 

sections 773(a)(6)(A) and (B)(i) of the 

Act. 

2. Falcon 

We based NV for Falcon on prices to 

unaffiliated customers in Japan. We 

made adjustments, where appropriate, 

to the starting price for discounts, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.401(c). We 

also made deductions, where 

appropriate, from the starting price for 

cold storage expenses, loading and 

unloading expenses, trailer hire 

expenses, foreign inland freight 

expenses, port charges, export survey 

charges, terminal and handling charges, 

foreign brokerage and handling 

expenses, and international freight 

expenses, under section 773(a)(6)(B)(ii) 

of the Act. 

In addition, we made adjustments 

under section 773(a)(6)(C)(iii) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.410 for differences in 

circumstances of sale for direct selling 

expenses (including bank charges, ECGC 

fees, EIA fees, outside inspection/lab 

expenses, letter of credit amendment 

charges, imputed credit expenses, and 

other direct selling expenses) and 

commissions. Finally, where 

commissions were granted in the U.S. 

market but not in the comparison 

market, we made a downward 

adjustment to NV for the lesser of: (1) 

The amount of commission paid in the 

U.S. market; or (2) the amount of 

indirect selling expenses (including 

inventory carrying costs) incurred in the 

comparison market. See 19 CFR 

351.410(e). If commissions were granted 

in the comparison market but not in the 

U.S. market, we made an upward 

adjustment to NV following the same 

methodology. 

We recalculated Falcon’s indirect 

selling expense ratio to exclude sales 

write-offs recorded in Falcon’s financial 

statements after the POR, in accordance 

with our practice.20

We made adjustments for differences 

in costs attributable to differences in the 

physical characteristics of the 

merchandise, in accordance with 

section 773(a)(6)(C)(ii) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.411. We also deducted third 

country packing costs and added U.S. 

packing costs, in accordance with 

sections 773(a)(6)(A) and (B) of the Act. 

E. Calculation of Normal Value Based 

on Constructed Value 

Section 773(a)(4) of the Act provides 

that where NV cannot be based on 

comparison market sales, NV may be 

based on CV. Accordingly, for those 

shrimp products for which we could not 

determine the NV based on comparison 

market sales because, as noted in the 

‘‘Results of the COP Test’’ section above, 

all sales of the comparable products 

failed the COP test, we based NV on CV. 

Sections 773(e)(1) and (2)(A) of the 

Act provide that CV shall be based on 

the sum of the cost of materials and 

fabrication for the imported 

merchandise, plus amounts for selling, 

general, and administrative (SG&A) 

expenses, profit, and U.S. packing costs. 

For each respondent, we calculated the 

cost of materials and fabrication based 

on the methodology described in the 

‘‘Cost of Production Analysis’’ section, 

above. We based SG&A and profit for 

each respondent on the actual amounts 

incurred and realized by it in 

connection with the production and sale 

of the foreign like product in the 

ordinary course of trade for 

consumption in the comparison market, 

in accordance with section 773(e)(2)(A) 

of the Act. 

We made adjustments to CV for 

differences in circumstances of sale, in 

accordance with section 773(a)(6)(C)(iii) 

and (a)(8) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.410. For comparisons to EP, we 

made circumstance-of-sale adjustments 

by deducting direct selling expenses 

incurred on comparison market sales 

from, and adding U.S. direct selling 

expenses to, CV. See 19 CFR 351.410(c). 

We also made an adjustment for Falcon, 

when applicable, for comparison market 

indirect selling expenses, adjusted as 

noted above, to offset U.S. commissions 

in EP comparisons. See 19 CFR 

351.410(e).

22This rate is based on the margin calculated for 

Apex because it is the only above de minimis

Currency Conversion 

We made currency conversions into 

U.S. dollars for all transactions by Apex 

and all spot transactions by Falcon, in 

accordance with section 773A of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.415, based on the 

exchange rates in effect on the dates of 

the U.S. sales as certified by the Federal 

Reserve Bank. In addition, Falcon 

reported that it purchased forward 

exchange contracts which were used to 

convert its sales prices into home 

market currency. Under 19 CFR 

351.415(b), if a currency transaction on 

forward markets is directly linked to an 

export sale under consideration, the 

Department is directed to use the 

exchange rate specified with respect to 

such currency in the forward sale 

agreement to convert the foreign 

currency.21 Therefore, for Falcon we 

used the reported forward exchange 

rates for currency conversions where 

applicable.

Review’’ section below. 

statement of the issue; (2) a brief 

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities. See 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, or to participate if one is 

requested, must submit a written 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration, U.S. Department 

of Commerce, filed electronically using 

Import Administration’s Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). 

An electronically filed document must 

be received successfully in its entirety 

by the Department’s electronic records 

system, IA ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern 

Standard Time 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. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case 

briefs. The Department will issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of the issues raised in any 

written briefs, not later than 120 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, the Department 

shall determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). The Department will 

issue appropriate appraisement 

instructions for the companies subject to 

this review directly to CBP 15 days after 

the date of publication of the final 

results of this review. 

For Apex and Falcon, we will 

calculate importer-specific ad valorem 

duty assessment rates based on the ratio 

of the total amount of antidumping 

duties calculated for the examined sales 

to the total entered value of the sales. 

See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we will 

calculate an assessment rate based on 

the weighted average of the cash deposit 

rates calculated for the companies 

selected for individual review excluding 

any which are de minimis or 

determined entirely on AFA. 

We will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review if any 

importer-specific assessment rate 

calculated in the final results of this 

review is above de minimis. Pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate without regard to 

antidumping duties any entries for 

which the assessment rate is de 

minimis. The final results of this review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable. See 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Assessment Policy 

Notice. This clarification will apply to 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by companies 

included in the final results of this 

review for which the reviewed 

companies did not know that the 

merchandise they sold to the 

intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediary 

involved in the transaction. See 

Assessment Policy Notice for a full 

discussion of this clarification. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

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) 

The cash deposit rate for each specific 

company listed above will be that 

established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is less than 

0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not participating in this 

review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, or the original less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 10.17 

percent, the all-others rate made 

effective by the LTFV investigation. See 

Shrimp Order, 70 FR at 5148. These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this review 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

This administrative review and notice 

are published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: February 28, 2012.

Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results and Partial 

Rescission of Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to requests from 

interested parties, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) is 

conducting the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on small 

diameter graphite electrodes (graphite 

electrodes) from the People’s Republic 

of China (PRC), covering the period 

February 1, 2010, through January 31, 

2011. The Department has preliminarily 

determined that during the period of 

review (POR) respondents in this 

proceeding have made sales of subject 

merchandise at less than normal value 

(NV). If these preliminary results are 

adopted in our final results of review, 

we will instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR. The Department is also 

rescinding this review for those 

exporters for which requests for review 

were timely withdrawn.1 Furthermore, 

we determine that 16 companies for 

which a review was requested have not
