Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Preliminary Results of New Shipper 

Review; 2022–2023 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is conducting a 

new shipper review (NSR) of Co May 

Import Export Company Limited (Co 

May) regarding the antidumping duty 

(AD) order on certain frozen fish fillets 

(fish fillets) from the Socialist Republic 

of Vietnam (Vietnam). The period of 

review (POR) is August 1, 2022, through 

January 31, 2023. We have preliminarily 

determined that Co May’s sale was a 

bona fide transaction, and that the sale 

was not made below normal value (NV). 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable January 30, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 12, 2003, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD Order on fish fillets from Vietnam.1

On March 23, 2023, we initiated an NSR 

based on a timely request from Co May.2

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this NSR, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3 A list of topics included 

in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as the 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://access.trade.

gov. In addition, a complete version of 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

can be accessed directly at https://

access.trade.gov/public/FRNotices

ListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are fish fillets from Vietnam. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this NSR in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), and 19 CFR 351.214. Commerce 

calculated export price in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Because 

Vietnam is a non-market economy 

country within the meaning of section 

771(18) of the Act, Commerce calculated 

NV in accordance with section 773(c) of 

the Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results 

As a result of this NSR, Commerce 

preliminarily determines the following 

weighted-average dumping margin 

exists for the period, August 1, 2022, 

through January 31, 2023.

Verification 

As provided in 19 CFR 351.307(b)(iv), 

Commerce intends to verify the 

information submitted by Co May in 

advance of the final results of the 

review. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days of 

any public announcement or, if there is 

no public announcement, within five 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Interested parties will be notified of 

the deadline for the submission of case 

briefs at a later date.4 Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, may be filed not later than five 

days after the date for filing case briefs.5

Parties who submit case or rebuttal 

briefs in this proceeding 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.6

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes.7 In this NSR, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs. Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the executive 

summaries as the basis of the comment 

summaries included in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum that will 

accompany the final results of this NSR. 

We request that interested parties 

include footnotes for relevant citations 

in the executive summary of each issue. 

Note that Commerce has amended 

certain of its requirements pertaining to 

the service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).8

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. Requests should contain the 

following information: (1) the party’s 

name, address, and telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants, and 

whether any participant is a foreign 

national; 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. An electronicallyfiled hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

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

within 14 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.9 If a request 

for a hearing is made, Commerce

intends to notify parties of the time and 

date for the hearing. 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this NSR, including the results 

of its analysis of issues raised in any 

written briefs, no later than 90 days after 

the date of issuance of this notice, 

unless extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuing the final results of this 

review, Commerce will determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, ADs on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.10 If the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis in the final results of review, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

duties. If the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is above de 

minimis in the final results of this 

review, we will calculate an importerspecific (or a customer-specific) per-unit 

assessment rate by dividing the amount 

of dumping for the reviewed sale to the 

importer or customer by the total sales 

quantity associated with the 

transaction(s). If an importer-specific 

rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

ADs. 

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 Instructions 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from Vietnam entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) 

of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise 

produced and exported by Co May, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for Co May in the final 

results of this NSR (except, if the rate is 

zero or de minimis, then no cash deposit 

will be required); (2) for subject 

merchandise exported by Co May, but 

not produced by Co May, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate for the 

Vietnam-wide entity; and (3) for subject 

merchandise produced by Co May, but 

not exported by Co May, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate applicable 

to the exporter. These cash 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 ADs prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of ADs occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double ADs. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.214. 

Dated: January 17, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This is a request for extension of an 

approved information collection. In 

1989, the National Marine Mammal 

Tissue Bank (NMMTB) was established 

by the National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS) Office of Protected 

Resources (OPR) in collaboration with 

the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST), Minerals 

Management Service (MMS), and the US 

Geological Survey/Biological Resources 

Division (USGS/BRD). The NMMTB 

provides protocols, techniques, and 

physical facilities for the long-term 

storage of tissues from marine 

mammals. Scientists can request tissues 

from this repository for retrospective 

analyses to determine environmental 

trends of contaminants and other 

substances of interest. Under 16 U.S.C. 

1421f section 407(d)(1) of the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act, the NMFS 

must establish criteria for access to 

marine mammal tissues in the NMMTB 

and make those available for public 

comment and review. This was 

accomplished through the proposed rule 

RIN 0648–AQ51, published on 11/12/ 

2002, and codified in 50 CFR 216.47. 

The NMMTB collects, processes, and 

stores tissues from specific indicator 

species (e.g., Atlantic bottlenose 

dolphins, Atlantic white sided 

dolphins, pilot whales, harbor 

porpoises), animals from mass 

standings, animals that have been 

obtained incidental to commercial 

fisheries, animals taken for subsistence 

purposes, biopsies, and animals from
