Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon 

From Norway: Revocation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the International 

Trade Commission (the ‘‘ITC’’) that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(‘‘AD’’) and countervailing duty 

(‘‘CVD’’) orders on fresh and chilled 

Atlantic salmon (‘‘salmon’’) from 

Norway would not be likely to lead to 

the continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, the Department of 

Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) is 

revoking these AD and CVD orders. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 13, 

2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric 

Greynolds, AD/CVD Operations, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 3, 2011, the Department 

initiated and the ITC instituted sunset 

reviews of the AD and CVD orders on 

salmon from Norway, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), 

respectively. See Initiation of Five-Year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 76 FR 89 (January 3, 

2011); Fresh and Chilled Atlantic 

Salmon From Norway, 76 FR 166 

(January 3, 2011). As a result of its 

reviews, the Department found that 

revocation of the AD order would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and that revocation of the CVD 

order would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of countervailable 

subsidization, and notified the ITC of 

the margins of dumping and the subsidy 

rates likely to prevail were the orders 

revoked. See Fresh and Chilled Atlantic 

Salmon From Norway: Final Results of 

Full Third Sunset Review of 

Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 70409 

(November 14, 2011), and Fresh and 

Chilled Atlantic Salmon From Norway: 

Final Results of Full Third Sunset 

Review of Countervailing Duty Order, 

76 FR 70411 (November 14, 2011). 

On February 23, 2012, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation 

of the AD and CVD orders on salmon 

from Norway would not be likely to lead 

to the continuation or recurrence of 

material injury within a reasonably 

foreseeable time. See Fresh and Chilled 

Atlantic Salmon from Norway, 77 FR 

10772 (February 23, 2012) and USITC 

Publication 4303 (February 2012), 

entitled Fresh and Chilled Atlantic 

Salmon from Norway (Inv. Nos. 701– 

TA–302 and 731–TA–454 (Third 

Review)). 

Scope of the Orders 

The product covered by the orders is 

the species Atlantic salmon (Salmo 

Salar) marketed as specified herein; the 

order excludes all other species of 

salmon: Danube salmon, Chinook (also 

called ‘‘king’’ or ‘‘quinnat’’), Coho 

(‘‘silver’’), Sockeye (‘‘redfish’’ or 

‘‘blueback’’), Humpback (‘‘pink’’) and 

Chum (‘‘dog’’).1 Atlantic salmon is a 

whole or nearly-whole fish, typically 

(but not necessarily) marketed gutted, 

bled, and cleaned, with the head on. 

The subject merchandise is typically 

packed in fresh-water ice (‘‘chilled’’). 

Excluded from the subject merchandise 

are fillets, steaks and other cuts of 

Atlantic salmon. Also excluded are 

frozen, canned, smoked or otherwise 

processed Atlantic salmon. Atlantic 

salmon is currently provided for under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 

0302.12.0003 and 0302.12.0004. 

The HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes. 

The written description remains 

dispositive as to the scope of the 

product coverage. 

Determination 

As a result of the determinations by 

the ITC that revocation of these AD and 

CVD orders would not be likely to lead 

to continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, the Department is revoking the 

AD and CVD orders on salmon from 

Norway. Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the 

effective date of revocation is February 

13, 2011 (i.e., the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of publication in the 

Federal Register of the continuation of 

these orders).2

The Department will notify U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection, 15 days 

after publication of this notice, to 

terminate suspension of liquidation and 

collection of cash deposits on entries of 

the subject merchandise, entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse, on or after 

February 13, 2011. Entries of subject 

merchandise prior to the effective date 

of revocation will continue to be subject 

to suspension of liquidation and 

antidumping and/or countervailing duty 

deposit requirements. 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’) 

of their responsibility concerning the 

return/destruction or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 

Failure to comply is a violation of the 

APO which may be subject to sanctions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department received timely 

requests from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade 

Action Committee (‘‘Petitioners’’), the 

American Shrimp Processors 

Association (‘‘Domestic Processors’’), 

Zhanjiang Regal Integrated Marine 

Resources Co., Ltd. (‘‘Regal’’), and 

Hilltop 1 in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), during the anniversary 

month of February, for administrative 

reviews of the antidumping duty order 

on shrimp from the PRC. The request for 

review submitted by Hilltop also 

included a request for company-specific 

revocation, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.222(b)(2).2 On March 31, 2011, the 

Department initiated an administrative 

review of 84 producers/exporters of 

subject merchandise from the PRC.3 On 

July 11, 2011, the Department received 

a submission from Domestic Processors 

requesting that the Department verify 

the factual information submitted by 

Hilltop, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.307(b)(v)(A).4

On March 29, 2011, the Department 

received a ‘‘no shipment certification’’ 5

from Shantou Yuexing Enterprise 

Company. In its certification, Shantou 

Yuexing Enterprise Company also 

requested that the Department rescind 

the review with respect to Shantou 

Yuexing Enterprise Company, pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).6

Respondent Selection 

On May 9, 2011, in accordance with 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), the 

Department selected Hilltop and Regal 

for individual examination in this 

review, since they were the largest 

exporters by volume during the POR, 

based on U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data of U.S. 

imports.7

Questionnaires 

On May 9, 2011, the Department 

issued its initial non-market economy 

(‘‘NME’’) antidumping duty 

questionnaire to Hilltop and Regal, and 

issued supplemental questionnaires to 

Hilltop and Regal between July 2011 

and January 2012. Hilltop and Regal

and subsequent supplemental 

questionnaires between August 2011 

and January 2012.

sent interested parties a letter requesting 

comments on the surrogate country and 

information pertaining to the valuation 

of factors of production (‘‘FOPs’’).8 On 

August 4, 2011, Petitioners submitted 

comments on the selection of a 

surrogate country, stating that Thailand 

was the appropriate surrogate country 

for this review.9 On September 2, 2011,

selection of a surrogate country, arguing 

that India, while not on the surrogate 

country list, is the appropriate surrogate 

country for this review.10 On September

submission, stating that India is no 

longer the most appropriate surrogate 

country for this proceeding.11 On
