AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 6, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Howard Smith or Jeff Pedersen, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 4, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
5193 and (202) 482-2769, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 30, 2006, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
published a notice of initiation of four new shipper reviews of the 
antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the 
People's Republic of China (PRC), covering the period September 1, 
2005, through August 31, 2006. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From 
the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New 
Shipper Reviews, 71 FR 63284 (October 30, 2006). One of the four new 
shipper reviews covers Shanghai Now Again International Trading Co., 
Ltd. (Shanghai Now Again), an exporter of subject merchandise. On March 
26, 2007, Shanghai Now Again withdrew its request for a new shipper 
review. Shanghai Now Again explained that the U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) had recently rejected its only entry of subject 
merchandise made during the period of review. Shanghai Now Again stated 
that, since the FDA's rejection resulted in no sale being made during 
the period of review, it was withdrawing its request for a new shipper 
review. No other party requested a new shipper review of Shanghai Now 
Again.

Rescission of Review

    19 CFR 351.214(f)(1) provides that the Department may rescind a new 
shipper review if the party that requested the review withdraws its 
request for review within 60 days of the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation of the requested review. Although Shanghai Now 
Again withdrew its request after the 60-day deadline, we find it 
reasonable to accept the withdrawal because we have not yet committed 
significant resources to the new shipper review of Shanghai Now Again. 
Specifically, we have not calculated a preliminary margin for Shanghai 
Now Again nor have we verified Shanghai Now Again's data. Further, no 
party has opposed Shanghai Now Again's withdrawal from this review. For 
these reasons, we are rescinding the 2005-2006 new shipper review of 
the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the 
PRC with respect to Shanghai Now Again in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(f)(1).

Assessment

    The Department will instruct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For Shanghai Now 
Again, antidumping duties shall be assessed at a rate equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, 
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department will issue liquidation 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice.

    Dated: July 30, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
