SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 1, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from Thailand for the period February
1, 2017, through January 31, 2018.\1\ In February 2018, Commerce
received timely requests, in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), to conduct an administrative
review of this antidumping duty order from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade
Action Committee (the petitioner), the American Shrimp Processors
Association (ASPA), and certain individual companies.\2\ Based upon
these requests, on April 16, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of
the Act, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of
initiation listing 160 companies for which Commerce received timely
requests for review.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. As noted
above, all parties withdrew their requests for review by the 90-day
deadline. Accordingly, we are rescinding the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand
covering the period February 1, 2017, through January 31, 2018.
Assessment
Commerce 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). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a 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 could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or
[[Page 36876]]
destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 25, 2018.
