People's Republic of China: Final Results and Partial Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On February 14, 2011, the Department of Commerce
(``Department'') published in the Federal Register the Preliminary
Results of the fifth administrative review of the antidumping duty
order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the People's Republic of
China (``PRC'').\1\ We gave interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results. Based upon our analysis of the
comments and information received, we continue to find that Hilltop \2\
has not sold subject merchandise at less than normal value (``NV'')
during the period of review (``POR''), February 1, 2009, through
January 31, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 9, 2010, the Department initiated an administrative review
of 92 producers/exporters of subject merchandise from the PRC.\3\
Subsequently, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department
rescinded the administrative review with respect to Allied Pacific
Aquatic Products Zhanjiang Co., Ltd. and Allied Pacific Food (Dalian)
Co., Ltd. based on upon Petitioner's timely withdrawal of its review
request.\4\ As noted above, on February 14, 2011, the Department
published the Preliminary Results of this administrative review.\5\ In
those Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily rescinded the
review with respect to several companies that submitted no shipment
certifications and for which we have not found any information to
contradict these claims. These companies are Yangjiang City Yelin
Hoitat Quick Frozen Seafood Co., Ltd., Fuqing Yihua Aquatic Food Co.,
Ltd., Fuqing Minhua Trade Co., Ltd., and Shantou Yelin Frozen Seafood
Co., Ltd. (d.b.a. Shantou Yelin Quick-Freeze Marine Products Co.,
Ltd.).

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this review are addressed in the ``Fifth Administrative Review of
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China: Issues and
Decision Memorandum for the Final Results,'' which is dated
concurrently with this notice (``I&D Memo''). A list of the issues that
parties raised and to which we respond in the I&D Memo is attached to
this notice as an Appendix. The I&D Memo is a public document and is on
file in the Central Records Unit (``CRU''), Main Commerce Building,
Room 7046, and is accessible on the Department's website at http://www.trade.gov/ia. The paper copy and electronic version of the
memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record as well as comments received from
parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made two revisions to
Hilltop's margin calculation for the final results. First, we have
revised the surrogate value source for shrimp larvae. For the
Preliminary Results, we used Sharat Industries Limited (``Sharat'')
2008-2009 financial statements to value shrimp larvae.\12\ For the
final results, the Department has determined to use Sharat's 2009-2010
financial statements as a surrogate value source for shrimp larvae. For
further information see I&D Memo at Comment 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See ``Memorandum to the File through Catherine Bertrand,
Program Manager, Office 9, from Kabir Archuletta, Case Analyst,
Office 9, re; Fifth Administrative Review of Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China: Surrogate
Factor Valuations for the Preliminary Results,'' dated February 7,
2011 (``Prelim SV Memo'') at 3-4 and Exhibit 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 51941]]
Additionally, we have revised the surrogate labor calculation
methodology. For further information see I&D Memo at Comment 5; see
also, ``Memorandum to the File through Catherine Bertrand, Program
Manager, Office 9 from Kabir Archuletta, Case Analyst, Office 9; Fifth
Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the
People's Republic of China: Surrogate Factor Valuations for the Final
Results,'' (``Final SV Memo'') dated concurrently with this notice.
Because of the change in the surrogate labor calculation methodology
noted above, the antidumping duty margin calculation for Hilltop has
changed since the Preliminary Results. For further details on Hilltop's
changes, see the company specific analysis memorandum.
Labor Cost Methodology
Pursuant to the Department's recent decision regarding it final
labor methodology,\13\ we have calculated a revised hourly labor rate
to use in valuing Hilltop's reported labor. The revised surrogate value
for labor is calculated by using India's, the primary surrogate
country, labor cost data from ``Chapter 6A: Labor Cost in
Manufacturing'' from the International Labor Organization (``ILO'')
Yearbook of Labor Statistics. Additionally, because the Department is
now using Chapter 6A to calculate labor costs, the Department made
certain adjustments in the surrogate financial ratio calculations
regarding labor. See I&D Memo at Comment 5; see also, Labor Memo and
Revised Labor Memo, for the details of the calculation and supporting
data.

\13\ See Antidumping Methodologies in Proceedings Involving Non-
Market Economies: Valuing the Factor of Production: Labor, 76 FR
36092 (June 21, 2011) (``Labor Methodologies'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes certain frozen warmwater shrimp
and prawns, whether wild-caught (ocean harvested) or farm-raised
(produced by aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shell-on or peeled,
tail-on or tail-off,\14\ deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or
otherwise processed in frozen form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ ``Tails'' in this context means the tail fan, which
includes the telson and the uropods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The frozen warmwater shrimp and prawn products included in the
scope of this Order, regardless of definitions in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (``HTS''), are products which are
processed from warmwater shrimp and prawns through freezing and which
are sold in any count size.
The products described above may be processed from any species of
warmwater shrimp and prawns. Warmwater shrimp and prawns are generally
classified in, but are not limited to, the Penaeidae family. Some
examples of the farmed and wild-caught warmwater species include, but
are not limited to, white-leg shrimp (Penaeus vannemei), banana prawn
(Penaeus merguiensis), fleshy prawn (Penaeus chinensis), giant river
prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon),
redspotted shrimp (Penaeus brasiliensis), southern brown shrimp
(Penaeus subtilis), southern pink shrimp (Penaeus notialis), southern
rough shrimp (Trachypenaeus curvirostris), southern white shrimp
(Penaeus schmitti), blue shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris), western white
shrimp (Penaeus occidentalis), and Indian white prawn (Penaeus
indicus).
Frozen shrimp and prawns that are packed with marinade, spices or
sauce are included in the scope of this order. In addition, food
preparations, which are not ``prepared meals,'' that contain more than
20 percent by weight of shrimp or prawn are also included in the scope
of this order.
Excluded from the scope are: (1) Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTS
subheading 1605.20.1020); (2) shrimp and prawns generally classified in
the Pandalidae family and commonly referred to as coldwater shrimp, in
any state of processing; (3) fresh shrimp and prawns whether shell-on
or peeled (HTS subheadings 0306.23.0020 and 0306.23.0040); (4) shrimp
and prawns in prepared meals (HTS subheading 1605.20.0510); (5) dried
shrimp and prawns; (6) Lee Kum Kee's shrimp sauce; (7) canned warmwater
shrimp and prawns (HTS subheading 1605.20.1040); (8) certain dusted
shrimp; and (9) certain battered shrimp. Dusted shrimp is a shrimp-
based product: (1) That is produced from fresh (or thawed-from-frozen)
and peeled shrimp; (2) to which a ``dusting'' layer of rice or wheat
flour of at least 95 percent purity has been applied; (3) with the
entire surface of the shrimp flesh thoroughly and evenly coated with
the flour; (4) with the non-shrimp content of the end product
constituting between four and 10 percent of the product's total weight
after being dusted, but prior to being frozen; and (5) that is
subjected to individually quick frozen (``IQF'') freezing immediately
after application of the dusting layer. Battered shrimp is a shrimp-
based product that, when dusted in accordance with the definition of
dusting above, is coated with a wet viscous layer containing egg and/or
milk, and par-fried.
The products covered by this Order are currently classified under
the following HTS subheadings: 0306.13.0003, 0306.13.0006,
0306.13.0009, 0306.13.0012, 0306.13.0015, 0306.13.0018, 0306.13.0021,
0306.13.0024, 0306.13.0027, 0306.13.0040, 1605.20.1010 and
1605.20.1030. These HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and
for customs purposes only and are not dispositive, but rather the
written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ On April 26, 2011, the Department amended the antidumping
duty order to include dusted shrimp, pursuant to the U.S. Court of
International Trade (``CIT'') decision in Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action
Committee v. United States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330 (CIT 2010) and the
U.S. International Trade Commission (``ITC'') determination, which
found the domestic like product to include dusted shrimp. Because
the amendment of the antidumping duty order occurred after this POR,
dusted shrimp continue to be excluded in this review. See Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Brazil, India, the People's Republic of
China, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Amended
Antidumping Duty Orders in Accordance with Final Court Decision, 76
FR 23227 (April 26, 2011); see also, Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action
Committee v. United States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330 (CIT 2010) (``Ad
Hoc'') and Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, China, India,
Thailand, and Vietnam (Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1063, 1064, 1066-
1068 (Review), USITC Publication 4221, March 2011 (``ITC Review
Final'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Partial Rescission
In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily rescinded
this review with respect to the following companies: Shantou Yelin
Frozen Seafood Co., Ltd. (d.b.a. Shantou Yelin Quick-Freeze Marine
Products Co., Ltd.); Yangjiang City Yelin Hoitat Quick Frozen Seafood
Co., Ltd., Fuqing Yihua Aquatic Food Co., Ltd., and Fuqing Minhua
Trading Co., Ltd. The Department determined that they had no shipments
of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.
Subsequent to the Preliminary Results, no information was submitted
on the record indicating that the above companies made sales to the
United States of subject merchandise during the POR and no party
provided written arguments regarding this issue. Thus, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our practice, we are
rescinding this review with respect to the above-named companies.
Affiliation/Single Entity
In the Preliminary Results, we found Hilltop, Yelin Enterprise Co.,
Ltd., Ocean Beauty Corporation, and Ever Hope International Co., Ltd.
to be a single entity for purposes of this
[[Page 51942]]
administrative review.\16\ Because we have not received any information
on the record that contradicts our preliminary finding, we continue to
find Hilltop, Yelin Enterprise Co., Ltd. Ocean Beauty Corporation, and
Ever Hope International Co., Ltd. to be a single entity for these final
results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Preliminary Results at 8339 and 8340; see 19 CFR
351.401(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined that
Hilltop and Zhanjiang Regal Integrated Marine Resources Co., Ltd.
(``Regal'') met the criteria for the application of a separate
rate.\17\ We have not received any information since the issuance of
the Preliminary Results that provides a basis for the reconsideration
of these determinations. Therefore, the Department continues to find
that Hilltop and Regal meet the criteria for a separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Preliminary Results at 8341.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
In the Preliminary Results, we stated that the Department employed
a limited examination methodology, as it did not have the resources to
examine all companies for which a review request was made, and selected
Hilltop as a mandatory respondent in this review.\18\ Additionally,
Regal submitted timely information as requested by the Department and
remained subject to review as a cooperative separate rate respondent.
In the Preliminary Results, the Department assigned Regal its rate
calculated in the previous administrative review.\19\ As we stated in
the Preliminary Results, the rate for the individually examined
respondent, Hilltop, continues to be de minimis and accordingly, the
Department will determine a reasonable method for assigning a rate to
Regal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Preliminary Results at 8338.
\19\ See Preliminary Results at 8342; see also, Administrative
Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the People's Republic
of China: Final Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 75 FR 49460, 49463 (August 13, 2010) (``PRC
Shrimp AR4'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The statute and the Department's regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to individual companies not
selected for examination when the Department limited its examination in
an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.
Generally we have looked to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for respondents
we did not examine in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of
the Act articulates a preference that we are not to calculate an all-
others rate using any zero or de minimis margins or any margins based
entirely on facts available. Accordingly, the Department's usual
practice has been to average the rates for the selected companies,
excluding zero, de minimis and rates based entirely on facts available.
See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Reviews and Rescission of Review in Part, 73 FR 52823,
52824 (September 11, 2008) and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum at Comment 16. Section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act also provides
that, where all margins are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on
facts available, we may use ``any reasonable method'' for assigning the
rate to non-selected respondents, including ``averaging the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins determined for the exporters and
producers individually investigated.''
In previous cases, the Department has determined that a
``reasonable method'' to use when, as here, the rates of the mandatory
respondents are zero and de minimis, is to apply to those companies not
selected for individual review (but eligible for a separate rate in NME
cases) the average of the most recently determined rates that are not
zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts available (which may be
from a prior administrative review or a new shipper review).\20\
However, if any such nonselected company had its own calculated rate
that is contemporaneous with or more recent than such prior determined
rates, the Department has applied such individual rate to the
nonselected company in the review in question, including when that rate
is zero or de minimis.\21\ In this case, there is only one nonselected
company under review that is eligible for a separate rate, and this
company received its own calculated rate that is contemporaneous with
or more recent than the most recent rates determined for other
companies that are not zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts
available. Accordingly, the Department has concluded that in this case
a reasonable method for determining the rate for the non-selected
company, Regal, is to apply its most recent individually calculated
rate.

PRC-Wide Entity
In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that those
companies, which did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate,
are properly considered part of the PRC-wide entity.\22\ Since the
Preliminary Results, no interested parties submitted comments regarding
these findings. Therefore, we continue to treat such entities as part
of the PRC-wide entity.

Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
the
[[Page 51943]]
Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. For
assessment purpose, we calculated importer (or customer)-specific
assessment rates for merchandise subject to this review. Where
appropriate, we calculated an ad valorem rate for each importer (or
customer) by dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to
that party by the total entered values associated with those
transactions. For duty-assessment rates calculated on this basis, we
will direct CBP to assess the resulting ad valorem rate against the
entered customs values for the subject merchandise. Where appropriate,
we calculated a per-unit rate for each importer (or customer) by
dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to that party by
the total sales quantity associated with those transactions. For duty-
assessment rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess
the resulting per-unit rate against the entered quantity of the subject
merchandise. Where an importer (or customer)-specific assessment rate
is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), the Department will
instruct CBP to assess that importer (or customer's) entries of subject
merchandise without regard to antidumping duties, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.106(c)(2). 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 upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be established in the final
results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
i.e., less than 0.5 percent, no cash deposit will be required for that
company); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise
which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 112.81 percent; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
the PRC exporters that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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.
We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
