SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department published in the Federal Register an antidumping 
duty order on certain frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic 
of Vietnam on August 12, 2003 (68 FR 47909). Pursuant to its Notice of 
Opportunity to Request an Administrative Review, 69 FR 46496 (August 3, 
2004), and in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, and section 351.213(b) of the Department's 
regulations, the Department received timely requests for review from 
eight exporters: An Giang Fisheries Import and Export Joint Stock 
Company; An Giang Agriculture and Foods Import-Export Company (AFIEX); 
Can Tho Agricultural and Animal Products Import-Export Company 
(CATACO); Mekong Fisheries Joint Stock Company (MEKONIMEX); Phan Quan 
Company, Ltd.; Phu Thanh Company, Co.; QVD Food Co., Ltd.; and Vinh 
Hoan Company, Ltd. No other interested party requested a review.
    On September 22, 2004, the Department published its Notice of 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, Requests for Revocation in Part and Deferral of Administrative 
Review, 69 FR 56745 (September 22, 2004), initiating on all eight 
companies for which an administrative review was requested. The 
Department subsequently received timely withdrawal requests from four 
of the eight exporters that requested a review: An Giang Fisheries 
Import and Export Joint Stock Company (October 26, 2004); AFIEX 
(October 19, 2004); MEKONIMEX (November 5, 2004); and QVD Food Co., 
Ltd. (September 29, 2004).

Rescission, in Part, of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations, 
the Department may rescind an administrative review, ``if a party that 
requested the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date 
of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' 
Because four exporters have timely withdrawn their requests for an 
administrative review within the ninety-day period, and no other party 
requested a review of these companies, we are rescinding this 
administrative review, in part, for the period January 1, 2003, through 
July 31, 2004, for the following companies: An Giang Fisheries Import 
and Export Joint Stock Company; AFIEX; MEKONIMEX; and QVD Food Co., 
Ltd. However, we will continue the administrative review with respect 
to: CATACO; Phan Quan Company, Ltd.; Phu Thanh Company, Co.; and Vinh 
Hoan Company, Ltd., as these exporters individually submitted a request 
for review.
    The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') within 15 
days of the publication of this notice. The Department will direct CBP 
to assess antidumping duties for these companies at the cash deposit 
rate in effect on the date of entry for entries during the period 
January 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004.

Notification to Parties

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under section 351.402(f) of the Department's regulations 
to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this period of 
time. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the 
Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties 
occurred and subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with section 351.305(a)(3) of the Department's 
regulations. Timely written notification of the return or destruction 
of APO materials or

conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
351.213(d)(4) of the Department's regulations and sections 751(a)(2)(C) 
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: January 18, 2005.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
