SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 1, 2019, Commerce published the Notice of Initiation of
the five-year review of the antidumping duty order on fish fillets from
Vietnam, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).\1\ On October 11, 2019, Commerce received a notice
of intent to participate in this review from the domestic interested
parties,\2\ within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as manufacturers, producers, or
wholesalers of a domestic like product in the United States. On October
31, 2019, the domestic interested parties provided a complete
substantive response for this review within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive
