[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 47 (Thursday, March 10, 2016)] [Notices] [Pages 12705-12711] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-05453] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-533-840] Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2014-2015 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from India. The review covers 223 producers and/or exporters of the subject merchandise.\1\ The Department selected two mandatory respondents for individual examination, Falcon Marine Exports Limited and its affiliate K.R. Enterprises (collectively, Falcon) and the Liberty Group.\2\ The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2014, through January 31, 2015. We preliminarily determine that sales to the United States have been made below normal value and, therefore, are subject to antidumping duties. Additionally, we preliminarily determine that certain companies for which we initiated a review did not have any shipments [[Page 12706]] during the POR. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. We invite all interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India and Thailand: Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 16634 (March 30, 2015) (Initiation Notice). \2\ The Liberty Group consists of: Devi Marine Food Exports Private Ltd.; Kader Exports Private Limited; Kader Investment and Trading Company Private Limited; Liberty Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd.; Liberty Oil Mills Ltd.; Premier Marine Products Private Limited; and Universal Cold Storage Private Limited. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATES: Effective March 10, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Eastwood or Blaine Wiltse, AD/CVD Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 3874, or (202) 482-6345, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement & Compliance, the Department has exercised its discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due to the recent closure of the Federal Government. All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been extended by four business days. The revised deadline for the preliminary results of this review is now March 4, 2016.\3\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ See Memorandum to the Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting A/S for Enforcement & Compliance, regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the Government Closure During Snowstorm Jonas,'' dated January 27, 2016. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.\4\ The product is currently classified under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers: 0306.17.00.03, 0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.12, 0306.17.00.15, 0306.17.00.18, 0306.17.00.21, 0306.17.00.24, 0306.17.00.27, 0306.17.00.40, 1605.21.10.30, and 1605.29.10.10. Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the written product description remains dispositive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, see the memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, entitled, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the 2014-2015 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India'' (dated concurrently with these results) (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Methodology The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov, and it is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed and electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as the Appendix to this notice. Preliminary Determination of No Shipments Among the companies under review, 19 \5\ companies properly filed statements reporting that they made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.\6\ Based on the certifications submitted by these companies and our analysis of CBP information, we preliminarily determine that the following companies had no reviewable transactions during the POR: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ The Department also received a properly-filed statement from an additional company, Britto Sea Foods Pvt. Ltd. However, because we received no request for an administrative review for this company, we have not considered this no shipments statement in this segment of the proceeding. \6\ For a full explanation of the Department's analysis, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Amulya Sea Foods; (2) Ayshwarya Seafood Private Limited; (3) Baby Marine International; (4) Baby Marine Sarass; (5) Blue Water Foods & Exports P. Ltd.; (6) Capithan Exporting Co.; (7) Cherukattu Industries (Marine Div.); (8) Coreline Exports; (9) Delsea Exports Pvt. Ltd.: (10) GVR Exports Pvt. Ltd.; (11) Geo Aquatic Products (P) Ltd.; (12) Indo Fisheries; (13) Navayuga Exports Ltd.; (14) R F Exports; (15) Santhi Fisheries & Exports Ltd.; (16) Selvam Exports Private Limited; (17) Sterling Foods; (18) Veronica Marine Exports Private Limited; and (19) Vinner Marine. The Department finds that it is not appropriate to preliminarily rescind the review with respect to these companies but, rather, to complete the review with respect to these companies and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review. Preliminary Results of the Review As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that weighted-average dumping margins exist for the respondents for the period February 1, 2014, through January 31, 2015, as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dumping margin Producer/exporter (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Falcon Marine Exports Limited/K.R. Enterprises....... 0.80 The Liberty Group.................................... 8.32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [[Page 12707]] Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies: \7\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ This rate is based on the weighted-average of the margins calculated for Falcon and the Liberty Group using the publicly- ranged U.S. sales quantities for each company . Because we cannot apply our normal methodology of calculating a weighted-average margin due to requests to protect business proprietary information, we find this rate to be the best proxy of the actual weighted- average margin determined for the mandatory respondents. See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From France, et al.: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed- Circumstances Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010); see also the memorandum from Blaine Wiltse, Senior International Trade Compliance Analyst, to the file, entitled, ``Calculation of the Review-Specific Average Rate in the 2014-2015 Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India,'' dated concurrently with these results. \8\ Shrimp produced and exported by Devi Sea Foods (Devi) was excluded from the AD Indian order effective February 1, 2009. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial Rescission of Review, and Notice of Revocation of Order in Part, 75 FR 41813, 41814 (July 19, 2010). Accordingly, we are conducting this administrative review with respect to Devi only for shrimp produced in India where Devi acted as either the manufacturer or exporter (but not both). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dumping margin Producer/exporter (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abad Fisheries....................................... 4.98 Adilakshmi Enterprises............................... 4.98 Akshay Food Impex Private Limited.................... 4.98 Allana Frozen Foods Pvt.

Disclosure and Public Comment The Department intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these preliminary results to interested parties within five days after the date of publication of this notice.\9\ Interested parties may submit cases briefs to the Department no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.\10\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than five days after the time limit for filing case briefs.\11\ Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\12\ Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS.\13\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \9\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b). \10\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c) \11\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d). \12\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2). \13\ See 19 CFR 351.303. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS. An electronically-filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.\14\ Hearing requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the time and date for the hearing to be held at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230.\15\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \14\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c). \15\ Id. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Department intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the publication date of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Assessment Rates Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.201(b). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Falcon and the Liberty Group reported the entered value for of their all their U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the sales for which entered value was reported. Where either the respondent's weighted- average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we will assign an assessment rate based on the average\16\ of the cash deposit rates calculated for the companies selected for mandatory review (i.e., Falcon and the Liberty Group), excluding any which are de minimis or determined entirely on adverse facts available. The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\17\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \16\ This rate will be calculated as discussed in footnote 8, above. \17\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review. Cash Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for each specific company listed above will be that established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.296(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the original less-than-fair- value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 10.17 percent, the all-others rate made [[Page 12711]] effective by the LTFV investigation.\18\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \18\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sale at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India, 70 FR 5147 (February 1, 2005). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notification to Importers This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: March 4, 2016. Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
