Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India and Thailand: Notice 
of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) received requests 
to conduct administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on 
certain frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from India and Thailand for 
the period February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014. The anniversary 
month of these orders is February. In accordance with the Department's 
regulations, we are initiating these administrative reviews. The 
Department also received a request to defer the initiation of the 
administrative review for the order on shrimp from Thailand with 
respect to various Thai companies.

DATES: Effective: April 2, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Crespo at (202) 482-3693 (India) 
and Dennis McClure (202) 482-5973 (Thailand), AD/CVD Operations, Office 
II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    During the anniversary month of February 2014, the Department 
received timely requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), for 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on shrimp from 
India and Thailand from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee 
(hereinafter, the petitioner), the American Shrimp Processors 
Association (ASPA), and certain individual companies.
    All deadlines for the submission of various types of information, 
certifications, or comments or actions by the Department discussed 
below refer to the number of calendar days from the applicable starting 
time.

Request To Defer Review

    In their requests for administrative review, various Thai companies 
requested that the Department defer the initiation of the review for 
one year, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(c). These companies are identified 
by a * in the ``Initiation of Reviews'' section of this notice, below. 
None of the parties provided any justification for their deferral 
request.
    The Department's regulations, as set forth in 19 CFR 
351.213(c)(1)(i) and (ii), provide that the Department may defer the 
initiation of an antidumping duty administrative review, in whole or in 
part, for one year if: (1) The request for review was accompanied by a 
request to defer the review; and (2) neither the exporter or producer 
for which the deferral is requested, the importer of subject 
merchandise from that exporter or producer, or a domestic interested 
party objects to the deferral. The Department received no objections to 
this request from any party cited in 19 CFR 351.213(c)(1)(ii).
    The preamble to the Department's regulations states that the 
Department established the provision for deferring the initiation of an 
administrative review, in part, to reduce burdens on the Department.\1\ 
We believe that deferring the instant review is not likely to save 
Departmental resources because it is likely that, in this review, as in 
every prior administrative review of this Thai order, the Department 
will find it necessary to limit the number of respondents examined.\2\ 
Accordingly, even if the Department defers the administrative review 
for these companies, it will likely still review the same number of 
respondents, i.e., the maximum number of respondents which our 
resources will permit. Therefore, we have not deferred the instant 
review for any companies requesting deferral with respect to the order 
on shrimp from Thailand.

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

Notice of No Sales

    If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no 
exports, sales, or entries during the period of review (POR), it must 
notify the Department within 60 days of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. All submissions must be filed electronically at 
http://iaaccess.trade.gov in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303.\3\ Such 
submissions are subject to verification in accordance with section 
782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Further, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy must be served on every 
party on the Department's service list.

Electronic Filing Procedures; Administrative Protective Order 
Procedures, 76 FR 39263 (July 6, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Respondent Selection

    In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for 
individual examination for administrative reviews, the Department 
intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) data for U.S. imports during the POR. We intend to 
release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (APO) to all 
parties having an APO within seven days of publication of this 
initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent 
selection within 21 days of publication of this Federal Register 
notice. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and 
respondent selection within five days of placement of the CBP data on 
the record of the applicable review.
    In general, the Department has found that determinations concerning 
whether particular companies should be ``collapsed'' (i.e., treated as 
a single entity for purposes of calculating antidumping duty rates) 
require a substantial amount of detailed information and analysis, 
which often require follow-up questions and analysis. Accordingly, the 
Department will not collapse companies at the respondent selection 
phase unless there has been a determination to collapse certain 
companies in a previous segment of these antidumping proceedings (i.e., 
investigation, administrative review, or changed circumstances review). 
For any

[[Page 18511]]

company subject to these reviews, if the Department determined, or 
continued to treat, that company as collapsed with others, the 
Department will assume that such companies continue to operate in the 
same manner and will collapse them for respondent selection purposes. 
Parties are requested to (a) identify which companies subject to review 
previously were collapsed, and (b) provide a citation to the proceeding 
in which they were collapsed.

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a party that has requested a 
review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
regulation provides that the Department may extend this time if it is 
reasonable to do so. In order to provide parties additional certainty 
with respect to when the Department will exercise its discretion to 
extend this 90-day deadline, interested parties are advised that the 
Department does not intend to extend the 90-day deadline unless the 
requestor demonstrates that an extraordinary circumstance has prevented 
it from submitting a timely withdrawal request. Determinations by the 
Department to extend the 90-day deadline will be made on a case-by-case 
basis.

Requests for Reviews of Non-Shrimp Producers/Exporters

    In the 2011-2012 administrative review of shrimp from Thailand, the 
Department found that Kosamut Frozen Foods Co., Ltd. (Kosamut) and 
Tanaya International Co., Ltd./Tanaya Intl (collectively, Tanaya), were 
neither exporters nor producers of the subject merchandise, as defined 
in 19 CFR sections 351.213(b) and 351.102(b)(29)(i). Accordingly, we 
rescinded the review for these companies, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).\4\ Therefore, based upon that determination, we are not 
initiating an administrative review with respect to Kosamut or Tanaya 
for the current POR absent specific information that the companies at 
issue are exporters or producers of the subject merchandise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial 
Rescission of Review, and Revocation of Order (in Part); 2011-2012, 
78 FR 42497, 42498 (July 16, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Moreover, in the 2012-2013 administrative review of shrimp from 
Thailand, GSE Lining Technology Co., Ltd. (GSE) notified the Department 
that it was a manufacturer of geosynthetic liners, not a producer or 
exporter of shrimp, and that it has never made shipments of subject 
merchandise to the United States.\5\ Therefore, based upon this 
information, we are not initiating an administrative review with 
respect to GSE for the current POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See the memorandum to the file from Alice Maldonado 
entitled, ``Placing Information on the Record of the 2013-2014 
Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From 
Thailand,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initiation of Reviews

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on shrimp from 
India and Thailand. We intend to issue the final results of these 
reviews not later than March 7, 2015.

    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On 
January 22, 2008, the Department published Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Documents Submission Procedures; APO 
Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (Jan. 22, 2008). Those procedures apply to the 
administrative reviews included in this notice of initiation. Parties 
wishing to participate in either of these administrative reviews should 
ensure that they meet the requirements of these procedures (e.g., the 
filing of separate letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 
351.103(d)).
     
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ On December 11, 2012, the Department determined that Apex 
Frozen Foods Private Limited is the successor-in-interest to Apex 
Exports. See Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances 
Review: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India. 77 FR 73619 
(Dec. 11, 2012).
    \7\ Shrimp produced and exported by Devi Sea Foods (Devi) was 
excluded from this order effective February 1, 2009. See Certain 
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, Partial Rescission of Review, and Notice 
of Revocation of Order in Part, 75 FR 41813, 41814 (July 19, 2010). 
Accordingly, we are initiating this administrative review with 
respect to Devi only for shrimp produced in India where Devi acted 
as either the manufacturer or exporter (but not both).
    \8\ On December 1, 2010, the Department found that A Foods 1991

See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed 
Circumstances Review: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand,

Co., Limited for purposes of initiation.
    \9\ The request for deferral only covered Asian Seafoods 
Coldstorage Public Co., Ltd. and Asian Seafoods Coldstorage 
(Suratthani) Co., Limited.
    \10\ Shrimp produced and exported by Marine Gold Products Ltd. 
(Marine Gold) was excluded from this order effective February 1, 
2012. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand: Final

Revised Factual Information Requirements

    On April 10, 2013, the Department published Definition of Factual 
Information and Time Limits for Submission of Factual Information: 
Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April 10, 2013), which modified two 
regulations related to antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings: 
The definition of factual information (19 CFR 351.102(b)(21)), and the 
time limits for the submission of factual information (19 CFR 351.301). 
The final rule identifies five categories of factual information in 19 
CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are summarized as follows: (i) Evidence 
submitted in response to questionnaires; (ii) evidence submitted in 
support of allegations; (iii) other data or statements of facts; (iv) 
evidence placed on the record by the Department; and (v) evidence other 
than factual information described in (i)-(iv). The final rule requires 
any party, when submitting factual information, to specify under which 
subsection of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the information is being submitted 
and, if the information is submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct 
factual information already on the record, to provide an explanation 
identifying the information already on the record that the factual 
information seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The final rule also 
modified 19 CFR 351.301 so that, rather than providing general time 
limits, there are specific time limits based on the type of factual 
information being submitted. These modifications are effective for all 
segments initiated on or after May 10, 2013. Please review the final 
rule, available at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to submitting factual information in these segments.
    Any party submitting factual information in an antidumping duty 
proceeding must certify to the accuracy and completeness of that 
information.\11\ Parties are hereby reminded that revised certification 
requirements are in effect for company/government officials as well as 
their representatives. All segments of any antidumping duty proceedings 
initiated on or after August 16, 2013, should use the formats for the 
revised certifications provided at the end of the Final Rule.\12\ The 
Department intends to reject factual submissions in these 
administrative reviews if the submitting party does not comply with 
applicable revised certification requirements.

Revised Extension of Time Limits Regulation

    On September 20, 2013, the Department modified its regulation 
concerning the extension of time limits for submissions in antidumping 
duty proceedings.\13\ The modification clarifies that parties may 
request an extension of time limits before a time limit established 
under Part 351 expires, or as otherwise specified by the Secretary. In 
general, an extension request will be considered untimely if it is 
filed after the time limit established under Part 351 expires. For 
submissions which are due from multiple parties simultaneously, an 
extension request will be considered untimely if it is filed after 
10:00 a.m. on the due date. Examples include, but are not limited to: 
(1) Case and rebuttal briefs, filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) 
rebuttal, clarification and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments concerning U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection data; and (4) quantity and value questionnaires. Under 
certain circumstances, the Department may elect to specify a different 
time limit by which extension requests will be considered untimely for 
submissions which are due from multiple parties simultaneously. In such 
a case, the Department will inform parties in the letter or memorandum 
setting forth the deadline (including a specified time) by which 
extension requests must be filed to be considered timely. This 
modification also requires that an extension request must be made in a 
separate, stand-alone submission, and clarifies the circumstances under 
which the Department will grant untimely-filed requests for the 
extension of time limits. These modifications are effective for all 
segments initiated on or after October 21, 2013. Please review the 
final rule, available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013-22853.htm, prior to submitting factual information in these 
administrative reviews.
