11 In the 2004–2006 administrative review, the Department found that the following companies comprised a single entity: Pakfood Public Company Limited, Asia Pacific (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and Takzin Samut Company Limited. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Final 

Results and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 52065 (Sept. 12, 2007). However, the review request for 

this administrative review was made on behalf of Pakfood Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries Asia Pacific (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Okeanos 

Company Ltd., and Okeanos Food Company Ltd. 12 In the 2006–2007 administrative review, the Department found that the following companies comprised a single entity: Thai Union Frozen 

Products Co., Ltd. and Thai Union Seafood Co., Ltd. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Preliminary Results and Preliminary 

Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 12088 (Mar. 6, 2008) (Thai Shrimp 06–07 Prelim), unchanged in Certain 

Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 50933 

(August 29, 2008) (Thai Shrimp 06–07 Final). Absent information to the contrary, we intend to continue to treat these companies as a single entity for purposes of this administrative review. 13The requests for review included certain companies with identical/similar names but different addresses. For purposes of initiation, we have 

treated these companies as the same entity based on information obtained in the 2004–2006 administrative review. See 2006–2007 Administrative Review Initiation Notice, 72 FR at 17107. 14The requests for review included certain companies with identical names but different addresses. For purposes of initiation, we have treated 

these companies as separate entities. 15The requests for review included certain companies with duplicate names. We have initiated a review on the correct company names (i.e., 

Chanthaburi Seafoods Co., Ltd., Thailand Fishery Cold Storage Public Co., Ltd., and Inter-Pacific Marine Products Co., Ltd.), but have not initiated a review on the duplicate names (i.e., Chantaburi Seafood Co., Ltd., Fishery Cold Storage Public, and International Pacific Marine Products,) based on information obtained in the 2006–2007 administrative review. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand; Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 50931, 50932 (Sept. 5, 2007); Thai Shrimp 06–07 Prelim, 73 FR at 12090, unchanged in Thai Shrimp 06–07 Final.

Notice of No Sales 

Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the 

Department may rescind a review where 

there are no exports, sales, or entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR. If 

a producer or exporter named in this 

notice of initiation had no exports, 

sales, or entries during the POR, it 

should notify the Department within 30 

days of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. The Department will 

consider rescinding the review only if 

the producer or exporter, as appropriate, 

submits a properly filed and timely 

statement certifying that it had no 

exports, sales, or entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR. All 

submissions must be made in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and 

are subject to verification in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Act. Six copies 

of the submission should be submitted 

to the Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, Room 1870, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230. Further, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), 

a copy of each request must be served 

on every party on the Department’s 

service list. 

Respondent Selection 

Section 777A(c)(1) of the Act directs 

the Department to calculate individual 

dumping margins for each known 

exporter and producer of the subject 

merchandise. Where it is not practicable 

to examine all known producers/ 

exporters of subject merchandise 

because of the large number of such 

companies, section 777A(c)(2) of the Act 

permits the Department to limit its 

examination to either: (1) a sample of 

exporters, producers or types of 

products that is statistically valid based 

on the information available at the time 

of selection; or (2) exporters and 

producers accounting for the largest 

volume of subject merchandise from the 

exporting country that can be 

reasonably examined. Due to the large 

number of firms requested for these 

administrative reviews and the resulting 

administrative burden to review each 

company for which a request has been 

made, the Department is exercising its 

authority to limit the number of 

respondents selected for review. See 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. In 

selecting the respondents for individual 

review, the Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) data for U.S. 

imports during the POR. 

We intend to release the CBP data 

under administrative protective order 

(APO) to all parties having an APO 

within five days of publication of this 

Federal Register notice, and to make 

our decisions regarding respondent 

selection within 20 days of publication 

of this notice. The Department invites 

comments regarding the CBP data and 

respondent selection within 10 days of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under APO 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 

Instructions for filing such applications 

may be found on the Department’s Web 

site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/apo. 

This initiation and notice are in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

requested amendment has been granted 

under the authority of the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.), the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226), and the Fur Seal 

Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151

Permit Holder to import, export, and 

collect parts from marine mammals 

taken under existing permits in the 

country of origin; from legal subsistence 

hunts; from legal incidental bycatch; 

and from opportunistic collection of 

stranded carcasses. The purposes of this 

research are to study marine mammal 

population ecology, diet and nutrition, 

reproductive physiology, toxicology, 

and health. No takes of live animals are 

authorized by the permit. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit: (1) was applied for in good 

faith; (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of endangered species; and 

(3) is consistent with the purposes and 

policies set forth in section 2 of the 

ESA.

Administration (ITA), Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of funding availability. 

SUMMARY: ITA announces the 

availability of funding for the FY 2009 

Market Development Cooperator 

Program (MDCP). Through this program, 

ITA helps to underwrite the start-up 

costs of foreign market development 

ventures that industry organizations are 

often reluctant to undertake without 

Federal government support. The intent 

of this program is to support ITA’s 

mission to create economic opportunity 

for U.S. workers and firms by promoting 

international trade and investment, 

strengthening industry competitiveness, 

and ensuring fair trade. 

DATES: Public Meeting: The Department 

will hold a public meeting to discuss 

MDCP proposal preparation, 

procedures, and selection process on 

Wednesday, April 22, 2009. The ninetyminute meeting will begin at 2 p.m. in 

Room B841B, at the Herbert Clark 

Hoover Building, 14th and Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. The 

Department will not discuss specific 

proposals at this meeting. Attendance is 

not required. Interested parties may 

participate via telephone conference. 

Dial-in instructions will be posted on 

the Internet at trade.gov/mdcp. 

Interested parties can also obtain dial-in 

instructions from Mrs. Tonya Milstead 

at 202–482–5093.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Brad Hess, Manager, Market 

Development Cooperator Program, 

Manufacturing and Services, ITA, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue, NW., Room 

3215, Washington, DC 20230. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Trade 

associations, State departments of trade, 

and other non-profit industry 

organizations are eligible to apply for an 

MDCP award. These organizations are 

particularly effective in reaching smalland medium-size enterprises (SMEs). 

Through MDCP cooperative agreements 

the Department provides technical and 

financial assistance that these 

organizations match. Organizations 

compete for a limited number of MDCP 

awards. (The program’s eligibility 

requirements effectively preclude 

applications from individuals and 

private companies.) MDCP awards help 

to underwrite the start-up costs of new 

ventures that organizations are often 

reluctant to undertake without Federal 

government support. MDCP strengthens 

the competitiveness of U.S. industry by 

fostering projects that result in 

increased exports and/or market share 

for non-agricultural goods and services 

produced in the United States. As an 

active partner, ITA will, as appropriate, 

guide and assist organizations in 

achieving project objectives. ITA 

encourages organizations to propose 

projects that (1) best strengthen their 

industry through market development; 

and (2) leverage the partnership 

between the organization and ITA.
