 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 weighted-average 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 weighted-average 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 
                    ( print page 39566)
                    percent in the 
                    *Final Results.*[11]
                    
                     In the Remand Redetermination, the Department recalculated the sample rate resulting in a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.05 percent [12]
                    
                     for the non-individually examined companies that qualified for a separate rate and are subject to this litigation. In the event that the CIT's ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, is upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise based on the importer-specific assessment rates recalculated in the Remand Redetermination for Sao Ta Foods Joint Stock Company and Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation and the above-noted 1.05 percent recalculated sample rate for the non-individually examined respondents that received a separate rate in the 
                    *Final Results*
                     and are subject to this litigation. Cash Deposit Requirements Mandatory Respondents Because there have been subsequent administrative reviews for Sao Ta Foods Joint Stock Company [13]
                    
                     and Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation,[14]
                    
                     the cash deposit rate for these two companies will remain the rate established in the most recently-completed administrative review in which they received a cash deposit rate of 4.78 percent.[15] Separate-Rate Companies There have been subsequent administrative reviews completed for the below-listed non-individually examined companies that qualified for a separate rate and are subject to this litigation; thus, the cash deposit rate for these exporters will remain the rate established in the most recently-completed administrative review in which they received a cash deposit rate.

                         the Department has revoked the antidumping duty order with respect to the Minh Phu Group.

Moreover, the Minh Phu Group is not subject to this litigation, the original injunction enjoining the lifting of suspension has been lifted, and the suspended entries have been liquidated. Accordingly, our recalculations pertain to the two remaining mandatory respondents, Sao Ta Foods Joint Stock Company and Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation, and the non-individually examined companies that received a separate rate and are subject to this litigation.
