Background

    On February 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register its notices on amended final 
determinations of sales at less than fair value and antidumping duty 
orders of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil, Ecuador, India, 
Thailand, the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam. See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from Brazil, 70 FR 5143 (Feb. 1, 2005); Notice of Amended Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty 
Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Ecuador, 70 FR 5156 (Feb. 
1, 2005); Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than 
Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 
from India, 70 FR 5147 (Feb. 1, 2005); Notice of Amended Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty 
Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand, 70 FR 5145 (Feb.

Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 70 FR 5152 (Feb. 1, 
2005) (Amended Shrimp Finals/Orders). In the Amended Shrimp Finals/
Orders, the Department noted that the scope of the antidumping duty 
orders had been amended to exclude canned warmwater shrimp and prawns 
to reflect the International Trade Commission's finding that a domestic 
industry in the United States is not materially injured or threatened 
with material injury by reason of imports of canned warmwater shrimp 
and prawns from the countries in question.
    Subsequent to the issuance of the shrimp orders, we noticed that 
the first sentence of the first paragraph of the scope language of each 
order might suggest that the warmwater shrimp subject to the order 
includes warmwater shrimp in non-frozen form. Therefore, we are 
amending the scope language of the orders by moving the word ``frozen'' 
to be before ``warmwater shrimp and prawns'' in the first sentence of 
the first paragraph of the scope of each order to clarify that only 
frozen warmwater shrimp and prawns are subject to the order. As a 
result, the first paragraph of the scope of each order reads as 
follows:
    The scope of this order includes certain frozen warmwater shrimp 
and prawns, whether wild-caught (ocean harvested) or farm-raised 
(produced by aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shell-on or peeled, 
tail-on or tail-off, deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or 
otherwise processed in frozen form.
    We are thus amending the antidumping duty orders of certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp from Brazil, Ecuador, India, Thailand, the People's 
Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, as noted 
above.
    These amended orders are issued and published in accordance with 
section 736(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: January 16, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
