antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from 
India.\1\ The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2012, through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    This review covers 205 producers/exporters. The respondents which 
the Department selected for individual examination are Devi Fisheries 
Limited (Devi Fisheries) and Falcon Marine Exports Limited/K.R. 
Enterprises (Falcon). The respondents which were not selected for 
individual examination are listed in the ``Final Results of the 
Review'' section of this notice.
    On March 25, 2014, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results. In May 2014, we received case briefs from the American Shrimp 
Processors Association; and Devi Fisheries, Falcon, and 16 additional 
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise (collectively, the 
respondents); we also received rebuttal briefs from the above-mentioned 
interested parties and the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee. In 
June 2014, the Department held a public hearing at the request of the 
respondents.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater 
shrimp.\2\ The product is currently classified under the following 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 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. 
Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, the written product description remains dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, see 
the memorandum from Gary Taverman, Senior Advisor for Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, entitled, 
``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from India,'' (dated concurrently with these results) (Issues 
and Decision Memo), which is hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case briefs by parties are addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memo. A list of the issues which parties raised 
and to which we respond in the Issues and Decision Memo is attached to 
this notice as Appendix I. The Issues and Decision Memo is a public 
document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service 
System (IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at 
http://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of 
the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete 
version of the Issues and Decision Memo can be accessed directly on the 
Internet at http://www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed and electronic 
versions of the Issues and Decision Memo are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments receive from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made no 
changes to Devi Fisheries' or Falcon's margin calculations.

Period of Review

    The POR is February 1, 2012, through January 31, 2013.

Final Results of the Review

    We are assigning the following dumping margins to the firms listed 
below as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Percent
                    Manufacturer/Exporter                        margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Devi Fisheries Limited.......................................       1.97
Falcon Marine Exports Limited/K.R. Enterprises...............       3.01
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies: 
\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ This rate is based on the simple average of the margins 
calculated for those companies selected for individual review. 
Because we cannot apply our normal methodology of calculating a 
weighted-average margin without revealing business proprietary 
information to the companies selected for individual review, we find 
this rate to be the best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin 
determined for the mandatory respondents. See Ball Bearings and 
Parts Thereof From France, et al.: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances 
Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 
(Sept. 1, 2010); see also the memorandum from David Crespo, 
International Trade Compliance Analyst, to the File, entitled, 
``Calculation of the Review-Specific Average Rate in the 2012-2013 
Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from 
India,'' dated March 18, 2014.

    \4\ 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). 
However, shrimp produced by other Indian producers and exported by 
Devi remain subject to the order. Thus, this administrative review 
with respect to Devi covers only shrimp which was produced in India 
by other companies and exported by Devi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Devi Fisheries and Falcon 
reported the entered value for all of their U.S. sales, we have 
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on 
the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the 
examined sales to the total entered value of the sales for which 
entered value was reported. To determine whether the duty assessment 
rates are de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we have calculated importer-specific ad valorem 
ratios based on the entered value.
    For the companies which were not selected for individual 
examination, we have used as the assessment rate the cash deposit rate 
assigned to these exporters, in accordance with our practice. See, 
e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final No Shipment 
Determination, 77 FR 40848, 40853 (July 11, 2012).
    The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 
days after the date of publication of these final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results 
of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the reviewed companies will be 
the rates shown above, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent (de 
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)), the cash deposit 
will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the 
original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the 
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 10.17 percent, the 
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\5\ These deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from India, 70 FR 5147, 5148 (Feb. 1, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 could result in the Secretary's 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 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: August 20, 2014.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
