Administrative Review

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


DATES: Effective Date: October 18, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni Dach, AD/CVD Operations, Office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 11, 2012, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the final results of the sixth 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order of frozen warmwater 
shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam'').\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam: Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 55800 (September 11, 
2012) (``Final Results'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 17, 2012, the Minh Phu Group,\2\ Phu Cuong Jostoco 
Seafood Corporation, Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation, and 
UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Corporation, collectively referred to 
here as ``Vietnamese Respondents,'' filed timely allegations that the 
Department made various ministerial errors in the Final Results and 
requested, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224, that the Department correct the 
alleged ministerial errors. No other parties in this proceeding 
submitted comments on the Department's final margin calculations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Minh Phu Seafood Corporation, Minh Qui Seafood Co., Ltd. and 
Minh Phat Seafood Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based upon our analysis of the comments and allegations of 
ministerial errors, we made changes to the antidumping duty margin 
calculation for Minh Phu Group. Additionally, we made corrections to 
the exporter company names for the following: (1) UTXI Aquatic Products 
Processing Corporation; (2) Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading 
Corporation; and (3) Phu Cuong Jostoco Seafood Corporation. 
Furthermore, as a result of correcting the clerical errors in the 
antidumping margin calculation for Minh Phu Group, the antidumping 
margin for the separate rate respondents was also revised because the 
separate rate margin was derived from the simple average of the margins 
of the Minh Phu Group and the Nha Trang Group.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Nha Trang Seaproduct Company, NT Seafoods Corporation, 
Nhatrang Seafoods--F89 Joint Stock Company, and NTSF Seafoods Joint 
Stock Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the Preliminary Results,\4\ pursuant to the withdrawal of the 
request for review of BIM Seafood Joint Stock Company (``BIM 
Seafood''), the Department preliminarily rescinded this review with 
respect to BIM Seafood. Subsequent to the Final Results, the Department 
discovered that we had inadvertently failed to include the final 
rescission for BIM Seafood in the Final Results. Therefore, we are also 
rescinding this review with respect to BIM Seafood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Results of Administrative Review, 
77 FR 13547 (March 7, 2012) (``Preliminary Results'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    For a full description of the products covered by the antidumping 
duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam, see 
Memorandum to Paul Piquado, from Christian Marsh, regarding ``Sixth 
Antidumping Administrative Review of Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Ministerial Error and Correction 
Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this notice (``Ministerial Errors 
and Correction Memo'').

Amended Final Results

    The Act defines ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in 
addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors 
resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any 
other type of unintentional error which the administering authority 
considers ministerial.'' \5\ After analyzing the Vietnamese 
Respondents' comments, we have determined, in accordance with section 
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made certain 
ministerial errors in our calculations for the final results with 
respect to our calculation of freight for the Minh Phu Group and 
certain typographical errors for various exporter company names.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act'').
    \6\ See Ministerial Errors and Correction Memo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because we have revised the antidumping duty margin for Minh Phu 
Group, we are also revising the antidumping duty margin for the 
separate rate respondents because the separate rate margin for those 
companies was calculated as the simple average margin for Minh Phu 
Group and Nha Trang Group. In accordance with section 751(h) of the 
Act, we are amending the final results of the administrative review of 
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam.
    The dumping margins for the period of review for these amended 
final results are as follows:

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

Rescission of Review, In Part

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily rescinded 
this review with respect to BIM Seafood because Domestic Producers \7\ 
withdrew their request for review of BIM Seafood.\8\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an administrative review, in 
whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its 
request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested review. Therefore, as the withdrawal of the 
request for review of BIM Seafood was timely, we are rescinding this 
review with respect to BIM Seafood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Domestic Producers are the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action 
Committee members: Nancy Edens; Papa Rod, Inc.; Carolina Seafoods; 
Bosarge Boats, Inc.; Knight's Seafood Inc.; Big Grapes, Inc.; 
Versaggi Shrimp Co.; and Craig Wallis.
    \8\ See Preliminary Results, 77 FR at 13548.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These amended final results and notice are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(h), and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.224.
