SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Amended Final Results

    On July 10, 2012, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the final results of its administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from 
Thailand.\1\ The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2010, through 
January 31, 2011.

    Following the publication of the Final Results, Marine Gold 
Products Limited (Marine Gold); Pakfood Public Company Ltd.; Thai Royal 
Frozen Food Company Limited; Thai Union Frozen Products Public Co., 
Ltd.; and Thai Union Seafood Company Ltd. (collectively, ``Thai 
Respondents'') challenged the Department's Final Results in the United 
States Court of International Trade (CIT). The Thai Respondents 
challenged the Department's decision not to calculate an individual 
antidumping duty margin for Marine Gold as a voluntary respondent, and 
the Department's decision not to offset positive antidumping duty 
margins with negative ones. On August 2, 2013, the CIT remanded the 
Final Results for further consideration of Marine Gold's request for 
individual examination as a voluntary respondent, while noting that the 
Thai Respondents dropped their challenge to the Department's decision 
not to offset positive antidumping duty margins with negative ones.\2\

    \2\ See Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Comm. v. United States, 925 
F. Supp. 2d 1367, 1368 n.4, 1369-1372 (CIT 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 9, 2014, the United States and Marine Gold entered into 
an agreement to settle this dispute and requested a stipulated 
judgment. On January 9, 2014, the CIT issued an order of judgment by 
stipulation. Consistent with the January 9, 2014 settlement agreement 
and the judgment by stipulation, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to liquidate all unliquidated entries of certain 
frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand produced and/or exported by 
Marine Gold, and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption 
in the United States during the POR at the importer-specific per-unit 
assessment rates determined by setting Marine Gold's weighted-average 
dumping margin at 0.41 percent (de minimis). However, we are not 
establishing a revised cash deposit rate for Marine Gold because the 
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand 
was revoked with respect to merchandise produced and/or exported by 
Marine Gold on July 16, 2013, with an effective date of February 1, 
2012.\3\

final results and notice in accordance with section 516A(e) of the Act.
