for in subheadings 0306.17.00, 1605.21.10, and 1605.29.10 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found 
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the 
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and imports of frozen 
warmwater shrimp from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam that have been found 
by Commerce to be subsidized by the governments of Ecuador, India, and 
Vietnam.\2\

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective October 
25, 2023, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the American Shrimp Processors Association, Port Arthur, 
Texas. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the 
Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by 
Commerce that imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador, India, 
and Vietnam were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from 
Indonesia were sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1673b(b)).\3\ Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the 
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in 
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the 
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on 
June 26, 2024 (89 FR 53444). The Commission conducted its hearing on 
October 22, 2024. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Commerce published notices in the Federal Register of a 
negative final countervailing duty determination in connection with 
the subject investigation concerning Indonesia and of a negative 
final determination of sales at less than fair value in connection 
with the subject investigation concerning Ecuador (89 FR 85512 and 
89 FR 85508, October 28, 2024). Accordingly, effective October 28, 
2024, the Commission terminated its countervailing duty 
investigation concerning imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from 
Indonesia and its antidumping duty investigation concerning imports 
of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador (89 FR 88061, November 6, 
2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on December 12, 2024. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5566 (December 2024), entitled Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam: 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-699-700 and 702 and 731-TA-1660 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: December 12, 2024.

Secretary to the Commission.
