SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 11, 2012, the Department of Commerce (``Department'')
published in the Federal Register the final results of the sixth
administrative review of the antidumping duty order of frozen warmwater
shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam'').\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 55800 (September 11,
2012) (``Final Results'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 17, 2012, the Minh Phu Group,\2\ Phu Cuong Jostoco
Seafood Corporation, Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation, and
UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Corporation, collectively referred to
here as ``Vietnamese Respondents,'' filed timely allegations that the
Department made various ministerial errors in the Final Results and
requested, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224, that the Department correct the
alleged ministerial errors. No other parties in this proceeding
submitted comments on the Department's final margin calculations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Minh Phu Seafood Corporation, Minh Qui Seafood Co., Ltd. and
Minh Phat Seafood Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based upon our analysis of the comments and allegations of
ministerial errors, we made changes to the antidumping duty margin
calculation for Minh Phu Group. Additionally, we made corrections to
the exporter company names for the following: (1) UTXI Aquatic Products
Processing Corporation; (2) Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading
Corporation; and (3) Phu Cuong Jostoco Seafood Corporation.
Furthermore, as a result of correcting the clerical errors in the
antidumping margin calculation for Minh Phu Group, the antidumping
margin for the separate rate respondents was also revised because the
separate rate margin was derived from the simple average of the margins
of the Minh Phu Group and the Nha Trang Group.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Nha Trang Seaproduct Company, NT Seafoods Corporation,
Nhatrang Seafoods--F89 Joint Stock Company, and NTSF Seafoods Joint
Stock Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Preliminary Results,\4\ pursuant to the withdrawal of the
request for review of BIM Seafood Joint Stock Company (``BIM
Seafood''), the Department preliminarily rescinded this review with
respect to BIM Seafood. Subsequent to the Final Results, the Department
discovered that we had inadvertently failed to include the final
rescission for BIM Seafood in the Final Results. Therefore, we are also
rescinding this review with respect to BIM Seafood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Results of Administrative Review,
77 FR 13547 (March 7, 2012) (``Preliminary Results'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
For a full description of the products covered by the antidumping
duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam, see
Memorandum to Paul Piquado, from Christian Marsh, regarding ``Sixth
Antidumping Administrative Review of Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Ministerial Error and Correction
Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this notice (``Ministerial Errors
and Correction Memo'').
Amended Final Results
The Act defines ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in
addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any
other type of unintentional error which the administering authority
considers ministerial.'' \5\ After analyzing the Vietnamese
Respondents' comments, we have determined, in accordance with section
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made certain
ministerial errors in our calculations for the final results with
respect to our calculation of freight for the Minh Phu Group and
certain typographical errors for various exporter company names.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(``the Act'').
\6\ See Ministerial Errors and Correction Memo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because we have revised the antidumping duty margin for Minh Phu
Group, we are also revising the antidumping duty margin for the
separate rate respondents because the separate rate margin for those
companies was calculated as the simple average margin for Minh Phu
Group and Nha Trang Group. In accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act, we are amending the final results of the administrative review of
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam.
The dumping margins for the period of review for these amended
final results are as follows:

review with respect to BIM Seafood.
