Background

    On February 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp from Brazil for the period August 4, 2004, through 
January 31, 2006. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 5239 (February 1, 2006). On February 28, 
2006, Central de Industrializacao E Distribuicao De Alimentos Ltda. 
(CIDA) and Produmar Cia Exportadora de Produtos Do Mar (Produmar) 
requested a review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp from Brazil in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2). 
Also on February 28, 2006, the petitioner \1\ requested an 
administrative review for numerous Brazilian exporters of subject 
merchandise in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The petitioner in this proceeding is the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade 
Action Committee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In April 2006, the Department initiated an administrative review 
for 50 companies and requested that each provide data on the quantity 
and value of its exports of subject merchandise to the United States 
during the period of review (POR). These companies are listed in the 
Department's notice of initiation. See Notice of Initiation of 
Administrative Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Certain Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, Ecuador, India and Thailand, 71 FR 17819 
(April 7, 2006) (Notice of Initiation).
    Between June 28, 2006, and July 6, 2006, the petitioner withdrew 
its requests for administrative review for the following 34 companies:

(33) Terracor Tdg Exp. E Imp. Ltda.; and (34) Torquato Pontes Pescados. 
On July 5, 2006, CIDA withdrew its request for review. Section 
351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations requires that the 
Secretary rescind an administrative review if a party requesting a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of the notice of initiation.

    \2\ Duplicate company names in the petitioner's request for 
review and request to withdraw are only listed once.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Review

    We are rescinding this review with respect to the 34 companies 
listed above in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), as the petitioner 
and CIDA have timely withdrawn their requests for an administrative 
review, and because no other interested party requested a review for 
these companies.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 14, 2006.
 Stephen J. Claeys,
 Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
