Vietnam: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, formerly Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On January 10, 2014, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published its notice of initiation and preliminary 
results of a changed circumstances review (``CCR'') of the antidumping 
duty order on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp (``shrimp'') from the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam'').\1\ The Department 
preliminarily determined that Gallant Dachan Seafood Co., Ltd. 
(``Dachan'') is the successor-in-interest to Gallant Ocean (Quang 
Ngai), Co. Ltd. (``Quang Ngai''). We invited parties to comment. No 
parties submitted comments, and for these final results we continue to 
find that Dachan is the successor-in-interest to Quang Ngai.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 31, 2013,\2\ Dachan requested that the Department 
conduct a CCR to determine whether it is the successor-in-interest to 
Quang Ngai, for purposes of determining antidumping duties due as a 
result of the Order.\3\ On January 10, 2014, the Department initiated 
the CCR of Dachan and preliminarily determined that Dachan is the 
successor-in-interest to Quang Ngai.\4\ In the Preliminary Results, the 
Department invited interested parties to comment.\5\ We received no 
comments or requests for a hearing from interested parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ This changed circumstances review was originally filed on 
September 30, 2013, within the seventh administrative review for 
frozen shrimp from Vietnam. Pursuant to instructions from the 
Department, Gallant Ocean re-filed this CCR on October 31, 2013.
    \3\ See Letter from Gallant Ocean dated October 31, 2013, at 3.
    \4\ See Preliminary Results, 79 FR at 1825.
    \5\ Id., 79 FR at 1826.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater 
shrimp. The product is currently classified under the following 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States item numbers: 
0306.17.00.03, 0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.12, 
0306.17.00.15, 0306.17.00.18, 0306.17.00.21, 0306.17.00.24, 
0306.17.00.27, 0306.17.00.40, 1605.21.10.30, and 1605.29.10.10. The 
written description of the scope of the order is dispositive.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For a full description of the scope of the order, see the 
Department's memorandum to the file titled ``Placing on the Record: 
Issues and Decision Memorandum from the review covering the period 
February 1, 2011, through January 31, 2012,'' (February 12, 2014).

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Because no parties have submitted comments opposing the 
Department's preliminary determination, and because there is no other 
information or evidence on the record that calls into question the 
Preliminary Results, the Department determines that Dachan is the 
successor-in-interest to Quang Ngai for the purpose of determining 
antidumping duty liability.

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    As a result of this determination, we find that Dachan should 
receive the cash deposit rate previously assigned to Quang Ngai in the 
most recently completed review of the antidumping duty order on shrimp 
from Vietnam. Consequently, the Department will instruct U.S Customs 
and Border Protection to collect estimated antidumping duties for all 
shipments of subject merchandise exported by Dachan and entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of this notice in the Federal Register at the current cash deposit 
rate for Quang Ngai, which is 0.00 percent.\7\ This cash deposit 
requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
