INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

Request for Comments Concerning the 

Institution of Section 751(b) Review 

Investigations; Certain Frozen 

Warmwater Shrimp From India and 

Thailand

AGENCY: United States International 

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Request for comments regarding 

the institution of section 751(b) review 

investigations concerning the 

Commission’s affirmative 

determinations in investigations Nos. 

731–TA–1066 and 1067 (Final), certain 

frozen or canned warmwater shrimp 

and prawns from India and Thailand. 

SUMMARY: The Commission invites 

comments from the public, including 

but not limited to interested parties, on 

whether changed circumstances exist 

sufficient to warrant the institution of 

investigations pursuant to section 751(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1675(b)) (the Act) to review the 

Commission’s affirmative 

determinations in investigations Nos. 

731–TA–1066–1067 (Final). The 

purpose of the proposed review 

investigations is to determine whether 

revocation of the existing antidumping 

duty orders on imports of certain frozen 

warmwater shrimp from India and 

Thailand is likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury (19 U.S.C. 1675(b)(2)(A)). Certain 

frozen warmwater shrimp are provided 

for in subheadings 0306.13.00 and 

1605.20.10 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 8, 2005.

Commission, 500 E Street SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On December 23, 2004, 

the Department of Commerce 

determined that imports of certain 

frozen and canned warmwater shrimp 

from India and Thailand are being sold 

in the United States at less than fair 

value (LTFV) within the meaning of 

section 731 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673) 

(69 FR 76916 and 76918, respectively, 

December 23, 2004); and on January 21, 

2005 the Commission determined, 

pursuant to section 735(b)(1) of the Act 

(19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)(1)), that an industry 

in the United States producing certain 

non-canned warmwater shrimp and 

prawns was materially injured by reason 

of LTFV imports (70 FR 3943, January 

27, 2005). Accordingly, Commerce 

ordered that antidumping duties be 

imposed on such imports of certain 

frozen warmwater shrimp (70 FR 5147 

(India) and 5145 (Thailand), February 1, 

2005). 

On January 6, 2005, when the 

Commission conducted its vote in these 

investigations, it stated that it was 

concerned about the possible impact of 

the December 26, 2004, tsunami on the 

shrimping industries of India and 

Thailand. The tsunami occurred prior to 

the closing of the record in these 

investigations on December 27, 2004. At 

the time the record closed, however, 

factual information as to any impact of 

the tsunami on the ability of producers 

in India or Thailand to produce and 

export shrimp was not available. At the 

vote and in its views in these 

investigations, the Commission stated 

its intention to collect information as to 

whether the tsunami’s impact on the 

affected countries’ industries warrants 

the Commission self-initiating a 

changed circumstances review under 19 

U.S.C. 1675(b). A decision as to whether 

changed circumstance reviews will be 

instituted as to India and/or Thailand 

will be made following the collection 

and analysis of information submitted. 

Written comments requested.—

Pursuant to section 207.45(b) of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, the Commission requests 

comments concerning whether there are 

changed circumstances brought about 

by the effects of the December 26, 2004 

tsunami on the shrimp industries of 

India and Thailand sufficient to warrant 

institution of review investigations. 

Information submitted to the 

Commission should address the impact 

of the tsunami on the ability of the 

shrimp industries in India and Thailand 

to produce and export shrimp to the 

United States. This information may 

include, but is not necessarily limited 

to, an analysis of the condition of 

shrimp hatcheries, ponds, fishing fleet, 

and processing and storage facilities 

post-tsunami; estimates of the share of 

the countries’ historical production that 

has been impacted by the tsunami; 

estimates of the cost and time required 

to repair, restock, or rebuild any 

damaged or destroyed production, 

storage, or transportation infrastructure; 

and any data on current inventories of 

shrimp in these countries which may be 

exported to the United States. 

Written submissions.—Comments 

must be filed with the Secretary to the 

Commission no later than 45 days after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. The Commission 

will make its determinations regarding 

institution of review investigations 

within 30 days of the close of the 

comment period. All written 

submissions must conform with the 

provisions of section 201.8 of the 

Commission’s rules; any submissions 

that contain business proprietary 

information must also conform with the 

requirements of section 201.6 of the 

Commission’s rules. Such requests 

should be directed to the Secretary of 

the Commission and must include a full 

statement of the reasons why the 

Commission should grant such 

treatment. Each sheet must be clearly 

marked at the top ‘‘Confidential 

Business Information.’’ The Commission 

will either accept the submission in 

confidence or return it. The 

Commission’s rules do not authorize 

filing of submissions with the Secretary 

by facsimile. The Secretary accepts 

documents filed electronically through 

the Commission’s Electronic Document 

Imaging System (EDIS), on the World 

Wide Web at http://edis.usitc.gov.

Documents must contain only public 

information; cannot contain exhibits of 

original documents, such as certified 

copies; and must meet certain size 

limits. Filing requirements are outlined 

on the EDIS Web site and by section 

201.8 of the Commission’s rules, as 

amended, 67 FR 68036 (November 8, 

2002).

Authority: This notice is published 

pursuant to section 207.45 of the 

Commission’s rules.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: February 3, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

established a schedule for the conduct 

of the subject expedited five-year review 

(70 FR 2428, January 13, 2005).

March 31, 2005 (70 FR 3904). The 

Commission, therefore, has determined 

to exercise its authority to extend the 

review period by up to 90 days pursuant 

to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B)1 and is 

revising its schedule to reflect
