SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen
warmwater shrimp from Brazil for the period of review (POR) of February
1, 2012, through January 31, 2013.\1\ The Department received a timely
request from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee (Domestic
Producers) in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), for an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp
from Brazil. On March 29, 2013, the Department published a notice of
initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil with respect to two
companies.\2\

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 78 FR 7397 (February 1, 2013).
\2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR
19197 (March 29, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department stated in its initiation of this review that it
intended to rely on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data to
select respondents.\3\ However, our review of the CBP database, with
respect to the companies for which this review was requested, showed no
entries of subject merchandise during the POR.\4\ We released the
results of our CBP data query to the Domestic Producers, the only
interested party to this segment of the proceeding, and invited them to
comment on the CBP data. We received no comments on the CBP data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See id.
\4\ See April 3, 2013, Memorandum to the File entitled ``Release
of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Data.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 4, 2013, we sent a ``No Shipments Inquiry'' to CBP to
confirm that there were no shipments or entries of subject merchandise
during the POR from the companies subject to review. We received no
information from CBP to contradict the results of our data query.
On April 29, 2013, we stated that because information from CBP
indicates that there were no entries of subject merchandise during the
POR from the companies covered by this review, we intend to rescind
this review.\5\ We invited parties to comment on our intent to rescind
this administrative review. We did not receive comments from any
interested party.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See April 29, 2013, Memorandum to James Maeder, Director,
Office 2, AD/CVD Operations, entitled ``Intent to Rescind
Administrative Review.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Section 351.213(d)(3) of the Department's regulations stipulates
that the Secretary may rescind an administrative review if there were
no entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise during the
POR. As there were no entries, exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise during the POR, we are rescinding this review of the
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this
notice of rescission of administrative review.
