Background

    On April 12, 1991, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the antidumping duty order on fresh and chilled Atlantic 
salmon from Norway (56 FR 14920). The Department published a notice of 
``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' on April 2, 1997 (62 
FR 15655). On April 30, 1997, the petitioner, Coalition for

Fair Atlantic Salmon Trade (FAST), requested that we conduct an 
administrative review of Nordic Group A/L (Nordic), an exporter of 
subject merchandise, for the period April 1, 1996, through March 31, 
1997. We published a notice of ``Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' on May 21, 1997 (62 FR 
27720). On May 27, 1997, Nordic reported that it made no shipments of 
the subject merchandise during the period of review (POR). On August 5, 
1997, the Department conducted a no-shipment data query regarding 
Nordic using the U.S. Customs Service database. The purpose of this 
query was to determine whether the U.S. Customs Service suspended 
liquidation of entry summaries of this merchandise during the POR. 
Because the U.S. Customs Service did not identify any suspended entry 
summaries of subject merchandise exported by Nordic during the POR, we 
have determined that no entries into the Customs territory of the 
United States occurred during the POR. Therefore, the Department is 
terminating this review. The cash deposit rate for Nordic will continue 
to be zero percent, the rate established in the most recently completed 
segment of this proceeding (62 FR 1430, January 10, 1997, a new shipper 
review).
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 
353.22.

    Dated: November 18, 1997.
Holly Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
