Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Partial 

Rescission and Preliminary Results of 

the First New Shipper Reviews 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) is conducting new 

shipper reviews (‘‘NSRs’’) of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

frozen fish fillets from the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam (‘‘Vietnam’’) that 

cover the period of review (‘‘POR’’) of 

August 1, 2006, through January 31, 

2007.1 See Notice of Antidumping Duty 

Order: Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from 

the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 68 FR 

47909 (August 12, 2003) (‘‘Order’’). On 

March 22, 2007, the Department 

initiated the semi-annual new shipper 

reviews for Vinh Quang Fisheries 

Corporation (‘‘Vinh Quang’’), Ngoc Thai 

Company (‘‘Ngoc Thai’’), and Anvifish 

Co., Ltd. (‘‘Anvifish’’). See Certain 

Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of 

Antidumping Duty New Shipper 

Reviews, 72 FR 15653 (April 2, 2007). 

We are preliminarily rescinding the 

new shipper reviews of Vinh Quang and 

Ngoc Thai because at the time of their 

requests for a new shipper review, the 

deadline for such requests had passed, 

pursuant to section 351.214(c) of the 

Department’s regulations. We 

preliminarily determine that Anvifish 

has made sales in the United States at 

less than normal value (‘‘NV’’). If these 

preliminary results are adopted in our 

final results of review, we will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) to assess antidumping duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR for which the importerspecific assessment rates are above de 

minimis. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 1, 2008.
