Background

notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam covering the 
period February 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020.\1\ Commerce initiated 
the administrative review for a single exporter, Blue Bay Seafood Co., 
Ltd., based on timely requests for review filed by Blue Bay Seafood 
Co., Ltd., Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee (the petitioner), and 
the American Shrimp Processors Association (ASPA).\2\

Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 18777 (May 2, 2019) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \2\ See ASPA Letter, ``Request for Administrative Reviews,''

Administrative Reviews,'' dated February 28, 2020; and Blue Bay 
Seafood Co., Ltd. Letter, ``Request for Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review,'' dated February 28, 2020.

for review.\3\ On May 1, 2020, the petitioner and ASPA withdrew their 
respective requests for review of Blue Bay Seafood Co., Ltd.\4\ Thus, 
all review requests for the only company under review have been timely 
withdrawn.

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

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioner, ASPA, 
and Blue Bay Seafood Co., Ltd. withdrew their requests for 
administrative review within 90 days of the date of publication of the 
Initiation Notice, and no other interested party requested a review of 
Blue Bay Seafood Co., Ltd. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review, in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to 
the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time 
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the 
period February 1, 2019, through January 31, 2020, in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final 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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protection Order

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective 
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and 
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 5, 2020.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
