SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The antidumping duty order for 

certain frozen warmwater shrimp from 

Vietnam was published on February 1, 

2005. See Notice of Amended Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 

Value and Antidumping Duty Order: 

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 

From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 

70 FR 5152 (February 1, 2005) 

(‘‘Order’’). As part of the Order, Can Tho 

Agricultural and Animal Products 

Import Export Company (‘‘CATACO’’), 

received an antidumping duty cash 

deposit rate of 4.57 percent. Id. In the 

first administrative review, the 

Department initiated a review on 

CATACO. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Deferral of 

Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 17077 

(April 5, 2006). However, the review of 

CATACO was subsequently rescinded. 

See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 

from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Partial Rescission of the First 

Administrative Review, 71 FR 42628, 

42629 (July 27, 2006). As part of the 

final results of the second 

administrative review, in which 

CATACO was reviewed, the company 

received an antidumping duty cash 

deposit rate of 4.57 percent. See Certain 

Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final 

Results and Final Partial Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 73 FR 52273, 52275–52276 

(September 9, 2008). 

On March 13, 2009, CATACO filed a 

submission requesting that the 

Department conduct a changed 

circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam 

and requesting that the Department find 

that Can Tho Import Export Fishery 

Limited Company (‘‘CAFISH’’) is the 

successor-in-interest to CATACO’s 

shrimp processing operations. See 

CATACO’s submission to the 

Department regarding Certain Frozen 

Warmwater Shrimp from Vietnam: 

Request for Changed Circumstances 

Review, (Case No. A–552–802) (March 

13, 2009). 

In its submission, CATACO provided 

information regarding the events leading 

to the spin-off of its shrimp processing 

operations as CAFISH. Additionally, 

CATACO provided documentation 

relating to its change in corporate 

structure from a state owned enterprise 

to a separate joint stock company, 

Cantho Import-Export Seafood Joint 

Stock Company (‘‘CASEAMEX’’), which 

was later again spun off into CAFISH. In 

addition, CATACO provided 

documentation comparing CAFISH’s 

current management, facility and 

equipment, supplier relationships, and 

customer base to that of the original 

CATACO. As part of its submission, 

CATACO requested that the Department 

conduct an expedited review. 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 14, 2009 / Notices 17157 

1‘‘Tails’’ in this context means the tail fan, which 

includes the telson and the uropods. 

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the 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,1

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 

the 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 Indian white prawn (Penaeus 

indicus). 

Frozen shrimp and prawns that are 

packed with marinade, spices or sauce 

are included in the scope of the 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 the order. 

Excluded from the scope are: (1) 

Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTS 

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 (HTS 

subheadings 0306.23.00.20 and 

0306.23.00.40); (4) shrimp and prawns 

in prepared meals (HTS subheading 

1605.20.05.10); (5) dried shrimp and 

prawns; (6) canned warmwater shrimp 

and prawns (HTS subheading 

1605.20.10.40); (7) certain dusted 

shrimp; and (8) certain battered shrimp. 

Dusted shrimp is a shrimp-based 

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 10 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. Battered shrimp is a 

shrimp-based product that, when dusted 

in accordance with the definition of 

dusting above, is coated with a wet 

viscous layer containing egg and/or 

milk, and par-fried. 

The products covered by the order are 

currently classified under the following 

HTSUS subheadings: 0306.13.00.03, 

0306.13.00.06, 0306.13.00.09, 

0306.13.00.12, 0306.13.00.15, 

0306.13.00.18, 0306.13.00.21, 

0306.13.00.24, 0306.13.00.27, 

0306.13.00.40, 1605.20.10.10, and 

1605.20.10.30. These HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and for customs purposes 

only and are not dispositive, but rather 

the written description of the scope of 

the order is dispositive. 

Initiation of Changed Circumstances 

Review 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), 

the Department will conduct a changed 

circumstances review upon receipt of 

information concerning, or a request 

from an interested party for a review of, 

an antidumping duty order which 

shows changed circumstances sufficient 

to warrant a review of the order. The 

Department has determined that the 

information submitted by CATACO 

demonstrates changed circumstances 

sufficient to warrant a review. See 19 

CFR 351.216(d). Additionally, section 

751(b)(4) of the Act states that the 

Department shall not conduct a review 

less than 24 months after the date of 

publication of the less-than-fair-value 

determination, in the absence of good 

cause. As noted above, CATACO filed 

its request for a changed circumstances 

review more than 24 months after the 

publication of the Order. 

In accordance with the abovereferenced regulations, the Department 

is initiating a changed circumstances 

review to determine whether CAFISH is 

the successor-in-interest to CATACO. In 

determining whether one company is 

the successor to another for purposes of 

applying the antidumping duty law, the 

Department examines a number of 

factors including, but not limited to, 

changes in: (1) Management; (2) 

production facilities; (3) supplier 

relationships; and (4) customer base. 

See, e.g., Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon 

Steel Plate from Romania: Initiation and 

Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 70 FR 22847 

(May 3, 2005). While no one or several 

of these factors will necessarily provide 

a dispositive indication of succession, 

the Department will generally consider 

one company to be a successor to 

another company if its resulting 

operation is similar to that of its 

predecessor. See Notice of Initiation of 

Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review: Certain Forged 

Stainless Steel Flanges from India, 71 

FR 327 (January 4, 2006). Thus, if the 

evidence demonstrates that, with 

respect to the production and sale of the 

subject merchandise, the new company 

operates as the same business entity as 

the prior company, the Department will 

assign the new company the cash 

deposit rate of its predecessor. 

Due to the complexity and breadth of 

analysis required for this and five other 

concurrent changed circumstances 

reviews, it is not practical to conduct an 

expedited changed circumstances 

review. Therefore, we have not issued 

the preliminary results of this changed 

circumstances review at this time. The 

Department will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of preliminary results 

of the antidumping duty changed 

circumstances review, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3)(i). This notice will set 

forth the factual and legal conclusions 

upon which our preliminary results are 

based and a description of any action 

proposed based on those results. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(ii), 

interested parties will have an 

opportunity to comment on the 

preliminary results of the review. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(e), the 

Department will issue the final results 

of its antidumping duty changed 

circumstances review not later than 270 

days after the date on which this review 

is initiated, or within 45 days if all 

parties to the proceeding agree to the 

outcome of the preliminary findings, 

and will publish these results in the 

Federal Register. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216 

and 351.221(c)(3).

On December 24, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) initiated an 

administrative review covering the 

period November 1, 2007, through 

October 31, 2008. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Requests 

for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 79055 

(December 24, 2008). 

Wheatland and U.S. Steel withdrew 

their requests for a review of Husteel on 

January 13, 2009. On March 23, 2009, 

Wheatland withdrew its request for the 

following companies: Daewoo 

International Corporation; Miju Steel 

Making Co.; Samsun; Kukje Steel Co., 

Ltd.; MSteel Co., Ltd.; Histeel Co., Ltd.; 

Hyundai Corporation; Dong–A Steel Co.,

Industrial Co., Ltd.; Huludao City Steel 

Pipe; Benxi Northern Steel Pipes Co.; 

and Tianjin Shuangjie Steel Pipe Co. 

U.S. Steel withdrew its request for

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party that requested a review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. 

Wheatland and U.S. Steel withdrew 

their requests for the noted companies 

within the 90-day period, and no other 

party requested a review of these 

companies. Therefore, in response to 

Wheatland’s and U.S. Steel’s 

withdrawal of their requests for an 

administrative review of the below– 

listed Korean producers and/or 

exporters of subject merchandise, the 

Department hereby rescinds the 

administrative review, for the period 

November 1, 2007, through October 31, 

2008, for the following companies: 

Husteel; Daewoo International 

Corporation; Miju Steel Making Co.; 

Samsun; Kukje Steel Co., Ltd.; MSteel 

Co., Ltd.; Histeel Co., Ltd.; Hyundai 

Corporation; Dong–A Steel Co., Ltd.; 

Union Pipe Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; 

Tianjin Huanbohai Import & Export Co.; 

Huludao Steel Pipe Industrial Co., Ltd.; 

Huludao City Steel Pipe; Benxi 

Northern Steel Pipes Co.; and Tianjin 

Shuangjie Steel Pipe Co. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. For the companies 

for which this review is rescinded, the 

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). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of this notice of 

partial rescission of administrative 

review. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (‘‘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/ 

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. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
