SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 1, 2005, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
AD order on shrimp from China.\1\ On April 9, 2024, Commerce published 
in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of administrative review 
with respect to imports of shrimp from China in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i).\2\ On May 21, 2024, we placed on the record data from 
the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for entries of shrimp from 
China during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries for any company 
listed in the Initiation Notice and invited interested parties to 
comment.\3\ Commerce received no comments from any interested parties.

Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 5149 (February 1, 
2005) (Order).
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 24780 (April 9, 2024) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \3\ See Memorandum, ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection Data 
Query,'' dated May 21, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 24, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of our 
intent to rescind the review because there were no reviewable, 
suspended entries of subject merchandise by any of the companies 
subject to this review during the POR as listed in the Initiation 
Notice and invited interested parties to comment.\4\ We did not receive 
any comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,'' 
dated May 24, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no 
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which 
liquidation is suspended.\5\ Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD 
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\6\ Therefore, for an 
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, 
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD 
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\7\ As noted above, 
there were no entries of subject merchandise for the companies subject 
to this review during the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding 
this administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates 
equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at 
the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date 
of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
