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

    \12\ See Decision Memorandum at Comment 2-D.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The scope of the 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,\13\ deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or otherwise 
processed in frozen form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ ``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 the order, regardless of definitions in the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''), 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, whiteleg 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 the 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 the order.
    Excluded from the scope are: (1) Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTS 
subheading 1605.20.10.20); (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 0306.23.00.20 and 0306.23.00.40); (4) 
shrimp and prawns in prepared meals (HTS subheading 1605.20.05.10); (5) 
dried shrimp and prawns; (6) canned warmwater shrimp and prawns (HTS 
subheading 1605.20.10.40); (7) certain dusted shrimp; \14\ and 8) 
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 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ On April 26, 2011, the Department amended the antidumping 
duty order to include dusted shrimp, pursuant to the U.S. Court of 
International Trade (``CIT'') decision in Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action 
Committee v. United States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330 (CIT 2010) and the 
U.S. International Trade Commission (``ITC'') determination, which 
found the domestic like product to include dusted shrimp. Because 
the amendment of the antidumping duty order occurred after this POR, 
dusted shrimp continue to be excluded in this review. See Certain 
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Brazil, India, the People's Republic of 
China, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Amended 
Antidumping Duty Orders in Accordance with Final Court Decision, 76 
FR 23277 (April 26, 2011); see also, Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action 
Committee v. United States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330 (CIT 2010) and 
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, China, India, Thailand, and 
Vietnam (Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1063, 1064, 1066-1068 (Review), 
USITC Publication 4221, March 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The products covered by the order are currently classified under 
the following HTSUS subheadings: 0306.13.00.03, 0306.13.00.06, 
0306.13.00.09, 0306.13.00.12, 0306.13.00.15, 0306.13.00.18, 
0306.13.00.21, 0306.13.00.24, 0306.13.00.27, 0306.13.00.40, 
1605.20.10.10 and 1605.20.10.30. These HTSUS subheadings are provided 
for convenience and for customs purposes only and are not dispositive, 
but rather the written description of the scope of the order is 
dispositive.

Rescission of Review, in Part

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily rescinded 
this review with respect to Quoc Viet Seaproducts Processing Trading 
Import and Export Co., Ltd. (``Quoc Viet''), Nam Hai Foodstuff and 
Export Company Ltd. (``Nam Hai'') and Vinh Loi Import Export Company 
(``Vinh Loi'') because these companies reported that they made no 
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. We have not received 
any information to contradict these statements. Therefore, the 
Department is rescinding this review with respect to Quoc Viet, Nam 
Hai, and Vinh Loi.
    In addition, in the Preliminary Results, the Department 
preliminarily rescinded this review with respect to Thong Thuan Company 
Limited (``Thong Thuan''), as all of Thong Thuan's shipments of subject 
merchandise during the POR were under review in the 2010-2011 new 
shipper review of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam. As the 
2010-2011 new shipper review of

[[Page 55802]]

certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam covering Thong Thuan has 
concluded,\15\ the Department is rescinding this review with respect to 
Thong Thuan because all of its entries during the POR have been 
reviewed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 
Review, 77 FR 20358 (April 4, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates Determination

    In our Preliminary Results, we determined that 31 companies \16\ 
(``Separate Rate Respondents'') met the criteria for separate rate 
status. We have not received any information since the issuance of the 
Preliminary Results that provides a basis for reconsidering this 
preliminary determination. Therefore, the Department continues to find 
that these 31 companies meet the criteria for a separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate for Non-Selected Companies

    We selected The Minh Phu Group and Nha Trang Seaproducts Group as 
mandatory respondents in this review.\17\ 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. The Department's 
practice in cases involving limited selection based on exporters 
accounting for the largest volumes of trade has been to look to section 
735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance, which provides instructions for 
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation. 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 this 
instance, we have calculated rates above de minimis for The Minh Phu 
Group and Nha Trang Seaproducts Group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with the Department's practice, we have assigned the 
average rate calculated for The Minh Phu Group and Nha Trang 
Seaproducts Group to the Separate Rate Respondents. Because the rates 
calculated for The Minh Phu Group and Nha Trang Seaproducts Group have 
changed since the Preliminary Results, the margin assigned to the 
Separate Rate Respondents has also changed accordingly.

Vietnam-Wide Entity

    In the Preliminary Results, we determined that 30 companies failed 
to demonstrate their eligibility for a separate rate. In NME 
proceedings, ```rates' may consist of a single dumping margin 
applicable to all exporters and producers.'' \18\ Therefore, we 
assigned the entity a rate of 25.76%, the only rate ever determined for 
the Vietnam-wide entity in this proceeding. We have not received any 
information since issuance of the Preliminary Results that provides a 
basis for reconsidering this determination, and will therefore continue 
to apply the entity rate of 25.76% to these 30 companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See 19 CFR 351.107(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    The dumping margins for the POR are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                          Simple average
                        Exporter                              margin
                                                             (percent)

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.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the 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 the 
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 
Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese 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 
Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found 
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 
Vietnam-wide rate of 25.76 percent; and (4) for all non-Vietnamese 
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own 
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the 
Vietnamese exporters that supplied that non-Vietnamese exporter. The 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

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 order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information

[[Page 55806]]

disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 violation which is subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: September 4, 2012.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
