SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 3, 2014, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' 
of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from 
Brazil for the period of February 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 79 FR 6159 (February 3, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 26, 2014, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade 
Action Committee (the petitioner),\2\ a domestic interested party, to 
conduct an administrative review of the sales of Amazonas Industria 
Alimenticias S.A. (AMASA); Procesadora del Rio S.A. (PRORIOSA); and 
Pesquera Veraz S.A. (Pesquera Veraz). The petitioner was the only party 
to request this administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee's members are: 
Nancy Edens; Papa Rod, Inc.; Carolina Seafoods; Bosarge Boats, Inc.; 
Knight's Seafood Inc.; Big Grapes, Inc.; Versaggi Shrimp Co.; and 
Craig Wallis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 1, 2014, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain warmwater shrimp from Brazil with respect to 
AMASA, PRORIOSA, and Pesquera Veraz.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews 
and Request for Revocation in Part, 79 FR 18262 (April 1, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 3, 2014, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for a 
review of all three companies.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See petitioner's letter, ``Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 
from Brazil: Withdrawal of Requests for Administrative Reviews,'' 
dated April 3, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioner timely 
withdrew its request for review before the 90-day deadline, and no 
other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil 
covering the period February 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit 
of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their 
responsibility, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement may result in the presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 6, 2014.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
