SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 17, 2017, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigations of imports of carbon and 

alloy steel wire rod (wire rod) from 

Italy, Korea, South Africa, Spain, 

Turkey, Ukraine, and the UK.1

Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

September 5, 2017.2

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

the Department initiated the 

investigation. However, section 

733(c)(1)(A)(b)(1) of the Act permits the 

Department to postpone the preliminary 

determination until no later than 190 

days after the date on which the 

Department initiated the investigation 

if: (A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) the 

Department concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. The 

Department will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On August 11, 2017, the petitioners 3

submitted a timely request that the 

Department postpone the preliminary 

determinations in these LTFV 

investigations.4 The petitioners stated 

that they request postponement because 

the Department is still gathering data 

and questionnaire responses from the 

foreign producers in these 

investigations, and that additional time 

is necessary for the Department and 

interested parties to fully and properly 

analyze all questionnaire responses, and

For the reasons stated above, and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, the Department, in 

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act, is postponing the deadline for 

the preliminary determinations by 50 

days (i.e., 190 days after the date on 

which these investigations were 

initiated). As a result, the Department 

will issue its preliminary 

determinations no later than October 24, 

2017. In accordance with section 

735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determinations of these investigations 

will continue to be 75 days after the 

date of publication of the preliminary 

determinations, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 

From the Socialist Republic of 

Vietnam: Notice of Court Decision Not 

in Harmony With Final Results of 

Administrative Review and Notice of 

Amended Final Results 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On June 29, 2017, the Court 

of International Trade (CIT) issued its 

final judgment, sustaining the 

Department of Commerce’s (the 

Department’s) remand results pertaining 

to the ninth administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

frozen warmwater shrimp from the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) 

covering the period of review (POR) of 

February 1, 2013, through January 31, 

2014. The Department is notifying the 

public that the final judgment in this 

case is not in harmony with the final 

results of the ninth administrative 

review,1 and that the Department is 

amending the final results with respect 

to the labor surrogate value applied in 

the administrative review. The effective 

date of this notice is July 9, 2017. 

DATES: Applicable July 9, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 15, 2015, the 

Department published its Final Results. 

In the Final Results, we relied on data 

from the Bangladeshi Bureau of 

Statistics (BBS) to value the 

respondents’ labor consumption. 

Subsequently, the CIT remanded this 

issue to the Department for further 

explanation or reconsideration.2 In the 

Remand Redetermination, the 

Department reconsidered its 

determination and found that the BBS 

data are not the best available 

information with which to value 

respondents’ labor.3 Consequently, the 

Department evaluated the alternative 

wage rates on the record and 

determined that India wage rate data are 

the best available information for 

valuing labor. 

In the Final Results, we calculated a 

0.00 percent weighted-average margin 

for Sao Ta Foods Joint Stock Company 

and a 1.16 percent weighted-average 

margin for Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and 

Trading Corporation.4 Based on our 

change of the labor surrogate value, we 

continued to calculate a 0.00 percent 

weighted-average margin for Sao Ta 

Foods Joint Stock Company and 

calculated a 1.42 percent weightedaverage margin for Thuan Phuoc 

Seafoods and Trading Corporation.5

Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,6 as clarified 

by Diamond Sawblades,7 the Federal 

Circuit held that, pursuant to section 

516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), the Department 

must publish a notice of a court 

decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with 

a Department determination and must 

suspend liquidation of entries pending 

a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. 

This notice is published in fulfillment 

of the publication requirement of 

Timken. Accordingly, the Department 

will continue the suspension of 

liquidation of the subject merchandise 

at issue in the Remand Redetermination 

pending expiration of the period to 

appeal or, if appealed, a final and 

conclusive court decision. 

Amended Final Results 

Because there is now a final court 

decision, the Department is amending 

the Final Results. Based on the Remand 

Redetermination, as affirmed by the 

Court on June 29, 2017, the revised 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading 

Corporation for the period February 1, 

2013, through January 31, 2014, is 1.42 

percent. As noted above, there was no 

change to Sao Ta Foods Joint Stock 

Company’s weighted-average margin 

from the Final Results; we continued to 

calculate a 0.00 percent weightedaverage margin for Sao Ta Foods Joint 

Stock Company in the Remand 

Redetermination. 

Further, for the purpose of 

recalculating the sample rate for the 

non-individually examined companies 

that received a separate rate and are 

parties to this litigation,8 we adjusted 

the Minh Phu Group’s final margin from 

1.39 percent 9 to 1.53 percent; 10

however, there is no effect to the Minh 

Phu Group’s final margin of 1.39
