SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 3, 2016, 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 February 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 81 FR 5712 (February 3, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On February 24, 2016, in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the
Department received a timely request from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade
Action Committee (the petitioner),\2\ a domestic interested party, to
conduct an administrative review of the sales of Amazonas Industrias
Alimenticias S.A. (AMASA). The petitioner was the only party to request
this administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee's members are:
Nancy Edens; Papa Rod, Inc.; Carolina Seafoods; Bosarge Boats, Inc.;
Knight's Seafood Inc.; Big Grapes, Inc.; Versaggi Shrimp Co.; and
Craig Wallis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 7, 2016, the Department published in the Federal Register
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on certain warmwater shrimp from Brazil with respect to
AMASA.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 20324 (April 7, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 11, 2016, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for a
review of AMASA.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See petitioner's letter, ``Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp
from Brazil: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,''
dated April 11, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. The petitioner timely
withdrew its request for review before the 90-day deadline, and no
other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty
order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil
covering the period February 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016.
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: May 10, 2016.
Gary Taverman,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
