(shrimp) from Thailand for the period of February 1, 2013, through

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication
of notice of initiation of the requested review. All parties requesting
2013-2014 administrative reviews of the antidumping duty order of
shrimp from Thailand timely withdrew their requests for review by the
90-day deadline. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from
Thailand covering the period February 1, 2013, through January 31,
2014.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only 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 may result in the presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 9, 2014.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
