Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the 
People's Republic of China: Final Results and Partial Rescission of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

SUMMARY: On March 12, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Results of the fourth 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ We 
gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary 
Results. Based upon our analysis of the comments and information 
received, we made changes to the margin calculations for the final 
results. We find that certain exporters have not sold subject 
merchandise at less than normal value (``NV'') during the period of 
review (``POR''), February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 26, 2009, the Department initiated an administrative 
review of 477 producers/exporters of subject merchandise from the 
PRC.\2\ In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily 
rescinded the review with respect to several companies which submitted 
no shipment certifications and for which we have not found any 
information to contradict these claims. These companies are Yangjiang 
City Yelin Hoitat Quick Frozen Seafood Co., Ltd., Fuqing Yihua Aquatic 
Food Co., Ltd., Fuqing Minhua Trade Co., Ltd., the Allied Pacific Group 
(comprised of Allied Pacific Food (Dalian) Co., Ltd.; Allied Pacific 
Aquatic Products (Zhanjiang) Co., Ltd.; Zhanjiang Allied Pacific 
Aquaculture Co., Ltd.; Allied Pacific (H.K.) Co., Ltd.; and King Royal 
Investments Ltd.); Gallant Ocean (Lianjiang), Ltd.; Gallant Ocean 
(Nanhai), Ltd.; Shantou Yelin Frozen Seafood Co., Ltd. (doing business 
as Shantou Yelin Quick-Freeze Marine Products Co., Ltd.).

    \4\ Petitioner is the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee 
(hereinafter referred to as ``Petitioner'').
    \5\ These domestic parties are the American Shrimp Processors 
Association and Louisiana Shrimp Association (hereinafter referred 
to as ``Domestic Processors'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 30, 2010, we extended the deadline for parties to submit 
the case briefs and rebuttal briefs to April 12, 2010 and April 17, 
2010, respectively.\6\ On April 12, 2010, the Petitioner, Domestic 
Processors, Hilltop, and Regal filed case briefs. On April 19, 2010, 
the Petitioner, Domestic Processors, and Hilltop filed rebuttal briefs. 
On May 20, 2010, the Department extended the deadline for the 
completion of the final results of this review until August 9, 2010.\7\ 
On June 15, June 23, and July 14, 2010, the Department placed wage rate 
data on the record for comment following the recent decision in Dorbest 
Limited et. al. v. United States, 2009-1257, -1266, issued by the 
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (``CAFC'') on 
May 14, 2010, regarding the Department's wage rate methodology.\8\ 
Interested parties submitted comments regarding the new wage rate data 
on June 22, and July 21, 2010. See ``Wage Rate Methodology'' section 
below for a detailed explanation of the Department's revised wage rate 
for these final results.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to 
this review are addressed in the ``Fourth Administrative Review of 
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China: Issues and 
Decision Memorandum for the Final Results,'' which is dated 
concurrently with this notice (``I&D Memo''). A list of the issues 
which parties raised and to which we respond in the I&D Memo is 
attached to this notice as an Appendix. The I&D Memo is a public 
document and is on file in the Central Records Unit (``CRU''), Main 
Commerce Building, Room 1117, and is accessible on the Department's Web 
site at http://www.trade.gov/ia. The paper copy and electronic version 
of the memorandum are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record as well as comments received from 
parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made revisions to 
Hilltop and Regal's margin calculations for the final results. First, 
we have revised classifications for certain expenses in the surrogate 
financial ratios used in the Preliminary Results. The Department's 
practice is to exclude certain expenses in the surrogate financial 
ratio calculations for constructed export price (``CEP'') sales where 
those expenses have been accounted for elsewhere in the margin 
program.\9\ Hilltop reported only CEP sales, so the Department will

[[Page 49461]]

exclude expenses that have been accounted for elsewhere. Specifically, 
we have determined that, absent any information to the contrary, the 
FDA expense identified in Schedule 15 of the surrogate financial 
statement as a U.S. sales expense has been accounted for elsewhere in 
the margin calculation program for Hilltop. Therefore, the Department 
excluded the FDA expense from Hilltop's surrogate financial ratio 
calculation because it was properly deducted from the gross unit price 
in the margin calculation program. See I&D Memo at Comment 10. However, 
unlike Hilltop, all of Regal's sales were export price (``EP'') sales, 
where, in non-market economy cases, the ``Department does not make 
circumstance-of-sale adjustments as the offsetting adjustments to the 
normal value are not normally possible.'' \10\ Consequently, for the 
reasons stated above, we will not exclude FDA related charges in the 
calculation of the surrogate financial ratios for Regal. See Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Certain New Pneumatic Off-The-Road Tires from the 
People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales 
at Less Than Fair Value and Partial Affirmative Determination of 
Critical Circumstances, 73 FR 40485 (July 15, 2008) and accompanying 
Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 18C.
    \10\ See, e.g., Heavy Forged Hand Tools, Finished or Unfinished, 
With or Without Handles, From the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Partial 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, and 
Determination Not To Revoke in Part, 69 FR 55581 (September 15, 
2004) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Further, in the Preliminary Results, the Department classified the 
FDA Expense as overhead, while the surrogate company categorized this 
expense as a selling, general, and administrative (``SG&A'') expense. 
Because there is no information in surrogate company's financial 
statement to indicate that the FDA expense is not related to the 
general operations of the company, in accordance with the Department's 
practice,\11\ the FDA expense should be reflected in the SG&A expense 
ratio for this company. Consequently, for the final results, we will 
reclassify the FDA expense from an overhead item and treat it as an 
SG&A expense, as reported by the surrogate company. For further 
details, see I&D Memo at Comment 10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See, e.g., Rhodia, Inc. v. United States, 240 F. Supp. 2d

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Negative Final Determination of 
Critical Circumstances: Certain Color Television Receivers From the 
People's Republic of China, 69 FR 20594 (April 16, 2004) and 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, we have revised the wage rate methodology and the 
surrogate values for shrimp larvae, diesel fuel, shrimp waste, and by-
products. For further details see I&D Memo at Comments 8, 3, 6, and 7; 
see also ``Memorandum to the File through Catherine Bertrand, Program 
Manager, Office IX from Bob Palmer, Case Analyst, Office IX; Fourth 
Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the 
People's Republic of China: Surrogate Factor Valuations for the Final 
Results,'' (``Final SV Memo'') dated concurrently with this notice. 
Because of the changes noted above, the antidumping duty margin 
calculations for both of the mandatory respondents have changed since 
the Preliminary Results. For further details on these company-specific 
changes, see the company-specific analysis memoranda.

Wage Rate Methodology

    Pursuant to a recent decision by the CAFC, we have calculated a 
revised hourly wage rate to use in valuing Hilltop's and Regal's 
reported labor. The revised wage rate is calculated by averaging 
earnings and/or wages in countries that are economically comparable to 
the PRC and that are significant producers of comparable merchandise. 
See I&D Memo at Comment 8; see also Final SV Memo for the details of 
the calculation and supporting data.

Scope of the Order

    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,\12\ deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or 
otherwise processed in frozen form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ ``Tails'' in this context means the tail fan, which 
includes the telson and the uropods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The frozen warmwater shrimp and prawn products included in the 
scope of this Order, regardless of definitions in the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (``HTS''), are products which are 
processed from warmwater shrimp and prawns through freezing and which 
are sold in any count size.
    The products described above may be processed from any species of 
warmwater shrimp and prawns. Warmwater shrimp and prawns are generally 
classified in, but are not limited to, the Penaeidae family. Some 
examples of the farmed and wild-caught warmwater species include, but 
are not limited to, white-leg shrimp (Penaeus vannemei), banana prawn 
(Penaeus merguiensis), fleshy prawn (Penaeus chinensis), giant river 
prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon), 
redspotted shrimp (Penaeus brasiliensis), southern brown shrimp 
(Penaeus subtilis), southern pink shrimp (Penaeus notialis), southern 
rough shrimp (Trachypenaeus curvirostris), southern white shrimp 
(Penaeus schmitti), blue shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris), western white 
shrimp (Penaeus occidentalis), and Indian white prawn (Penaeus 
indicus).
    Frozen shrimp and prawns that are packed with marinade, spices or 
sauce are included in the scope of this order. In addition, food 
preparations, which are not ``prepared meals,'' that contain more than 
20 percent by weight of shrimp or prawn are also included in the scope 
of this order.
    Excluded from the scope are: (1) Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTS 
subheading 1605.20.1020); (2) shrimp and prawns generally classified in 
the Pandalidae family and commonly referred to as coldwater shrimp, in 
any state of processing; (3) fresh shrimp and prawns whether shell-on 
or peeled (HTS subheadings 0306.23.0020 and 0306.23.0040); (4) shrimp 
and prawns in prepared meals (HTS subheading 1605.20.0510); (5) dried 
shrimp and prawns; (6) Lee Kum Kee's shrimp sauce; (7) canned warmwater 
shrimp and prawns (HTS subheading 1605.20.1040); (8) certain dusted 
shrimp; and (9) certain battered shrimp. Dusted shrimp is a shrimp-
based product: (1) That is produced from fresh (or thawed-from-frozen) 
and peeled shrimp; (2) to which a ``dusting'' layer of rice or wheat 
flour of at least 95 percent purity has been applied; (3) with the 
entire surface of the shrimp flesh thoroughly and evenly coated with 
the flour; (4) with the non-shrimp content of the end product 
constituting between four and 10 percent of the product's total weight 
after being dusted, but prior to being frozen; and (5) that is 
subjected to individually quick frozen (``IQF'') freezing immediately 
after application of the dusting layer. Battered shrimp is a shrimp-
based product that, when dusted in accordance with the definition of 
dusting above, is coated with a wet viscous layer containing egg and/or 
milk, and par-fried.
    The products covered by this Order are currently classified under 
the following HTS subheadings: 0306.13.0003, 0306.13.0006, 
0306.13.0009, 0306.13.0012, 0306.13.0015, 0306.13.0018, 0306.13.0021, 
0306.13.0024, 0306.13.0027, 0306.13.0040, 1605.20.1010 and 
1605.20.1030. These HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and 
for customs purposes only and are not dispositive, but rather the 
written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.

Final Partial Rescission

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily rescinded 
this review with respect to the following companies: Allied Pacific 
Group; \13\ Gallant Ocean (Lianjiang), Ltd.; Gallant Ocean (Nanhai), 
Ltd.; Shantou Yelin Frozen Seafood Co., Ltd.; Shantou Yelin Quick-
Freeze Marine Products Co., Ltd.; Yangjiang City Yelin Hoitat Quick 
Frozen Seafood Co., Ltd., Fuqing Yihua Aquatic Food Co., Ltd., and 
Fuqing Minhua Trading Co., Ltd. The Department determined that they had 
no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the 
POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Allied Pacific Group is comprised of: Allied Pacific Food 
(Dalian) Co., Ltd.; Allied Pacific Aquatic Products (Zhanjiang) Co., 
Ltd.; Zhanjiang Allied Pacific Aquaculture Co., Ltd.; Allied Pacific 
(H.K.) Co., Ltd.; and King Royal Investments Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subsequent to the Preliminary Results, no information was submitted 
on the record indicating that the above companies made sales to the 
United States of subject merchandise during the POR and no parties 
provided written arguments regarding this issue. Thus, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our practice, we are 
rescinding this review with respect to the above-named companies.

Request for Revocation, in Part

    In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined that Regal 
has not met the regulatory criteria for revocation set forth in 19 CFR 
351.222(b). See Preliminary Results at 11857. In Regal's request for 
revocation, Regal argued that it has maintained three consecutive years 
of sales at not less than normal value. However, in the third 
administrative review of this order, the Department determined that 
Regal sold the subject merchandise at less than normal value and 
assigned Regal a weight-averaged dumping margin.\14\ We have not 
received any further information following the issuance of the 
Preliminary Results that would warrant revocation of the order with 
regard to Regal. Therefore, we will not revoke the order with respect 
to Regal because it has not met the regulatory criteria for revocation 
set forth in 19 CFR 351.222(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Third Administrative Review of Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 
From the People's Republic of China: Final Results and Partial 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 46565 
(September 10, 2009) (``China Shrimp AR3 Final'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Duty Absorption

    In the Preliminary Results, we conducted a duty absorption inquiry 
with regard to Hilltop, pursuant to section 751(a)(4) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (``Act''), and preliminarily found that Hilltop has 
not absorbed antidumping duties on U.S. sales made through its 
affiliated importer. See Preliminary Results at 11857. We have not 
received any further information which would provide a basis for the 
reconsideration of our determination. Therefore, the Department 
continues to find that Hilltop has not absorbed antidumping duties on 
U.S. sales made through its affiliated importer, pursuant to section 
751(a)(4) of the Act.

Separate Rates

    In our Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined that 
Hilltop, Regal, and Shantou Yuexing Enterprises Co. (``Shantou 
Yuexing'') met the criteria for the application of a separate rate. We 
have not received any information since the issuance of the Preliminary 
Results that provides a basis for the reconsideration of these 
determinations. Therefore, the Department continues to find that 
Hilltop, Regal, and Shantou Yuexing meet the criteria for a separate 
rate.

Rate for Non-Selected Companies

    In the Preliminary Results, we stated that the Department employed 
a limited examination methodology, as it did not have the resources to 
examine all companies for which a review request was made, and selected 
two exporters, Hilltop and Regal, as mandatory respondents in this 
review. See Preliminary Results at 11855. Additionally, Shantou Yuexing 
submitted timely information as requested by the Department and 
remained subject to review as a cooperative separate rate respondent. 
In the Preliminary Results, the Department assigned a preliminary rate 
to Shantou Yuexing. See Preliminary Results at 11861.
    In the Preliminary Results, we noted that the statute and the 
Department's regulations do not directly address the establishment of a 
rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual examination 
where the Department limited its examination in an administrative 
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. See Preliminary 
Results at 11859. We further explained that the Department's practice 
in this regard, in cases involving limited selection based on exporters 
accounting for the largest volumes of trade, has been to weight-average 
the rates for the selected companies excluding zero and de minimis 
rates and rates based entirely on facts available. See Preliminary 
Results at 11859. However, due to changes in certain surrogate values 
for Hilltop and Regal from the Preliminary Results, the Department has, 
for the final results, calculated all zero or de minimis dumping 
margins for the mandatory respondents.
    Because the Act does not address the rate to be applied to 
companies not selected for individual examination, we have looked to 
section 735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the 
Act instructs that we are not to calculate an all-others rate using any 
zero or de minimis margins or any margins based entirely on facts 
available. Section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act also provides that, where 
all margins are zero rates, de minimis rates, or rates based entirely 
on facts available, we may use ``any reasonable method'' for assigning 
the rate to non-selected respondents.
    In exercising this discretion to determine a non-examined rate, the 
Department considers relevant the fact that section 735(c)(5) of the 
Act: (a) Is explicitly applicable to the determination of an all others 
rate in an investigation; and (b) articulates a preference that the 
Department avoid zero, de minimis rates or rates based entirely on 
facts available when it determines the all others rate. With respect to 
the second point, the Department consistently seeks to avoid the use of 
total facts available, zero and de minimis margins in determining non-
selected rates in administrative reviews, in order to implement this 
statutory preference. With respect to the first point, the statute's 
statement that averaging of zero/de minimis margins and margins based 
entirely on facts available may be a reasonable method, and the 
Statement of Administrative Action's (``SAA'') indication that such 
averaging may be the expected method, should be read in the context of 
an investigation. See SAA accompanying the Uruguay Round Agreements 
Act, H.R. Doc. No. 103-316 at 872 (1994), reprinted in 1994 
U.S.C.C.A.N. 4040, 4200. First, if there are only zero or de minimis 
margins determined in the investigation (and there is no other entity 
to which a facts available margin has been applied), the investigation 
would terminate and no order would be issued. Thus, the provision 
necessarily only applies to circumstances in which there are either 
both zero/de minimis and total facts available margins, or only total 
facts available margins. Second, when such rates are the only rates 
determined in an investigation, there is little information on which to 
rely to determine an appropriate all-others rate. In this context, 
therefore, the SAA's stated expected method is reasonable: the zero/de 
minimis and facts available

[[Page 49463]]

margins may be the only or best data the Department has available to 
apply to non-selected companies.
    We note that the Department has sought other reasonable means to 
assign separate-rate margins to non-reviewed companies because we 
calculated zero rates, de minimis rates, or rates based entirely on 
facts available for the mandatory respondents. See Certain Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results 
and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
73 FR 52273 (September 9, 2008) (``Vietnam Shrimp AR2 Final'') and 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 6; see also 
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 74 FR 47191 (September 15, 2009) (``Vietnam 
Shrimp AR3 Final'') at 47194. Because the Department is faced with 
similar circumstances in these final results as in Vietnam Shrimp AR2 
Final and Vietnam Shrimp AR3 Final, we must look to other reasonable 
means to assign separate rate margins to non-reviewed companies 
eligible for a separate rate in this review.
    The history of the PRC shrimp order shows that positive margins, 
including calculated margins for individually investigated companies, 
have existed in all segments subsequent to the underlying 
investigation. Thus, we find that a reasonable method is to assign to 
non-reviewed companies in this review the most recent rate calculated 
for the non-selected companies in question, unless we calculated in a 
more recent segment a rate for any company that was not zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Pursuant to this method, 
we are assigning a rate of 9.08 percent, the most recent positive rate 
(from the China Shrimp AR3 Final) calculated for cooperative separate 
rate respondents, to Shantou Yuexing, which had no calculated margin 
that is concurrent with or more recent than this rate. In assigning a 
margin to the non-examined companies, the Department did not impute the 
actions of any companies subject to an AFA rate, or the zero/de minimis 
rates, to the behavior of the non-individually examined companies, but 
because these were the only rates determined in the proceeding, 
consistent with the statute, the Department avoids the use of these 
rates and selected another reasonable method to assign rates to these 
companies.

Final Results of Review

    The weighted-average dumping margins for the POR are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine, 
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends 
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), we will calculate importer-specific (or customer) ad 
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
the dumping margins calculated for the examined sales to the total 
entered value of those same sales. In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate, without regard to 
antidumping duties, all entries of subject merchandise during the POR 
for which the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ The PRC-wide entity includes the 463 companies currently 
under review that have not established their entitlement to a 
separate rate, including Shantou Longfeng Aquatic Product Foodstuff 
Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of these final results of this administrative review for 
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in 
these final results of review (except, if the rate is zero or de 
minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 percent, a zero cash deposit rate will be 
required for that company); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed 
PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that have separate rates, 
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate 
published for the most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 
112.81 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject 
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that supplied 
that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next 
administrative review.

Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
