# Summary:

                        The Department of Commerce (“Department”) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (“Vietnam”).                         *See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam*, 68 FR 47909 (August 12, 2003). On September 22, 2009, the Department initiated the August 1, 2008, through July 31, 2009, antidumping duty administrative review on certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam.                         *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of Administrative Review*, 74 FR 48224, (September 22, 2009). The Department initiated this review with respect to 22 companies.                        1

                        On January 7, 2010, QVD withdrew its request for an administrative review. On January 8, 2010, Anvifish JSC withdrew its request for an administrative review. On January 8, 2010, Petitioners                        [2]                          partially withdrew their August 31, 2009, request for an administrative review for 13 companies, including Vinh Quang.                        [3]                          However, the Department will continue the administrative review with respect to Vinh Quang as this exporter did not withdraw its request and the company was chosen as a mandatory respondent.                        [4]                          The preliminary results of this administrative review are currently due no later than August 8, 2010.                        5

# EFFECTIVE DATE:

May 27, 2010.

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

                        Emeka Chukwudebe and Javier Barrientos, Office 9, AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th                         Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0219 and (202) 482-2243, respectively.                    

## Partial Rescission of Review

The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if a party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. Petitioners withdrew their review request with respect to 13 exporters of subject merchandise within the 90-day deadline, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Respondents, QVD and Anvifish, also withdrew their respective requests for review within the 90-day deadline.

                        Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are partially rescinding this review with respect to the following companies: Cadovimex II; CL-Fish; Hiep Thanh; NAVICO; NTSF; Panga Mekong; QVD; QVD DT; Thuan Hung; SAMEFICO; Thien Ma; Anvifish Co., Ltd.; and Anvifish JSC.                        6

## Assessment Rates

The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For those companies for which this review has been rescinded and which have a separate rate from a prior segment of this proceeding, 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)(2). Accordingly, the Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice for the following companies; QVD; QVD DT; Thuan Hung; Hiep Thanh; Cadovimex II; SAMEFICO; and Anvifish Co., Ltd.

                        The Department cannot order liquidation for companies which, although they are no longer under review as a separate entity, may still be under review as part of the Vietnam-wide entity. Therefore, the Department cannot, at this time, order liquidation of entries for the following companies: CL-Fish; NAVICO; NTSF; Panga Mekong; Thien Ma; and Anvifish JSC.                        7                         The Department intends to issue liquidation instructions for the Vietnam-wide entities 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.                    

## Notification to Importers

This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

## Notification Regarding APOs

                        This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (“APO”) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance                               ( print page 29727)                            with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 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 violation which is subject to sanction.                    

This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: May 19, 2010.

John M. Andersen,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
