Preliminary Results, Preliminary 

Determination of No Shipments, and 

Partial Rescission of the Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review; 2015– 

2016 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department preliminarily 

determines that the application of facts 

available is warranted for mandatory 

respondent GODACO Seafood Joint 

Stock Company (GODACO). In addition, 

the Department preliminarily 

determines that the application of facts 

available with an adverse inference is 

warranted for GODACO because it has 

not cooperated to the best of its ability. 

However, the Department preliminarily 

determines that GODACO qualifies for a 

separate rate for its exports of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the period of review (POR) August 1, 

2015, through July 31, 2016. The 

Department also preliminary determines 

that mandatory respondent Golden 

Quality Seafood Corporation (Golden 

Quality) does not qualify for a separate 

rate and is, therefore, considered a part 

of the Vietnam-Wide 1 Entity. If these 

preliminary results are adopted in the 

final results, the Department will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective September 12, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 14, 2016, the Department 

initiated the 13th administrative review 

of the antidumping duty order on frozen 

fish fillets (fish fillets) from Vietnam for 

the period August 1, 2015, through July 

31, 2016.2 On April 11, 2017, the 

Department fully extended the deadline 

for issuing the preliminary results by 

120 days.3 The revised deadline for the 

preliminary results of this 

administrative review is August 31, 

2017. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order is 

frozen fish fillets, including regular, 

shank, and strip fillets and portions 

thereof, whether or not breaded or 

marinated, of the species Pangasius 

Bocourti, Pangasius Hypophthalmus 

(also known as Pangasius Pangasius) 

and Pangasius Micronemus. These 

products are classifiable under tariff 

article code 0304.62.0020 (Frozen Fish 

Fillets of the species Pangasius, 

including basa and tra), and may enter 

under tariff article codes 0305.59.0000, 

1604.19.2100, 1604.19.3100, 

1604.19.4100, 1604.19.5100, 

1604.19.6100 and 1604.19.8100 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).4 Although 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

the written description of the scope of 

the order is dispositive.5

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the

notice of initiation. Between December 

30, 2015 and January 4, 2016, we 

received timely withdrawal of review 

requests for 52 companies from the 

petitioners,6 Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd 

(Bien Dong), and Vinh Hoan 

Corporation (Vinh Hoan).7 Of these 52 

companies, 34 do not have any other 

outstanding review requests. Therefore, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), the Department is 

rescinding this review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

frozen fish fillets from the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam with respect to 

these 34 companies.8 The review will 

continue with respect to the other firms 

for which a review was requested and 

initiated. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

The Department has preliminarily 

determined that Saigon-Mekong Fishery 

Co., Ltd. (SAMEFICO), and QVD 9 had 

no shipments during the POR. 

Consistent with our practice in nonmarket economy (NME) cases, we will 

not rescind the review, in part, in this 

circumstance, but rather, complete the 

review with respect to these companies 

and issue appropriate instructions to 

CBP based on the final results of the 

review.10

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

review in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1)(B) and 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Vietnam is an NME within the meaning 

of section 771(18) of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov, and is 

available to all parties in the Central 

Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly on the internet at

Disclosure, Public Comment & 

Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

Normally, the Department discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with the 

preliminary results within five days of 

its public announcement or, if there is 

no public announcement, within five 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). However, because the 

Department preliminarily determined 

that Golden Quality is part of the 

Vietnam-wide entity, and GODACO’s 

rate is based entirely on AFA, there are 

no calculations to disclose. 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs within 30 days after the date of 

publication of these preliminary results 

of review in the Federal Register.12

Rebuttals to case briefs, which must be 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, must be filed within five days 

after the time limit for filing case 

briefs.13 Parties who submit arguments 

are requested to submit with the 

argument: (a) A statement of the issue, 

(b) a brief summary of the argument, 

and (c) a table of authorities.14 Parties 

submitting briefs should do so pursuant 

to the Department’s electronic filing 

system, ACCESS. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance within 30 days of the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Requests should contain: (1) The party’s 

name, address and telephone number;

case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for 

a hearing is made, the Department 

intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20230, at a date and time to be 

determined. See 19 CFR 351.310(d). 

Parties should confirm by telephone the 

date, time, and location of the hearing 

two days before the scheduled date. 

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of all issues raised in the 

case briefs, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.15 The Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 

days after the publication date of the 

final results of this review. With regard 

to the companies the Department 

rescinded upon, the Department intends 

to issue assessment instructions to CBP 

15 days after the publication date of this 

partial rescission of this review. 

For any individually examined 

respondent whose calculated weighted 

average dumping margin is above de 

minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final 

results of this review, the Department 

will calculate importer-specific 

assessment rates on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales to the total entered value of sales, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem rate is 

greater than de minimis, the Department 

will instruct CBP to collect the 

appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation.16 Where either a 

respondent’s weighted average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer- (or customer-) specific ad 

valorem is zero or de minimis, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.17

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from Vietnam entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by sections 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the 

companies listed above that have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be that established in the final results of 

this review (except, if the rate is zero or 

de minimis, then zero cash deposit will 

be required); (2) for previously 

investigated or reviewed Vietnam and 

non-Vietnam exporters not listed above 

that received a separate rate in a prior 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all 

Vietnam exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be that for the Vietnamwide entity; and (4) for all non-Vietnam 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the Vietnam exporter that 

supplied that non-Vietnam exporter. 

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers 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 the POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Department’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

This preliminary determination is 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act. 

Dated: August 31, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 9, 2017, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigations of imports of certain colddrawn mechanical tubing of carbon and 

alloy steel from Germany, India, Italy, 

Korea, the PRC, and Switzerland.1

Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

September 26, 2017. 

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)) 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. See 19 CFR 351.205(e). 

On September 1, 2017, ArcelorMittal 

Tubular Products; Michigan Seamless 

Tube, LLC; PTC Alliance Corp.; Webco 

Industries, Inc.; and Zekelman 

Industries, Inc. (collectively, the 

petitioners) submitted timely requests 

pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e) to postpone 

the preliminary determinations in these 

LTFV investigations.2 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 additional time is 

necessary for the Department and 

interested parties to fully and properly 

analyze all questionnaire responses. 

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 November 

15, 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).
