SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 3, 2013, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results of these reviews. On January 6, 2016, we issued a memorandum 
extending the time limit for the final results of these reviews to 
April 4, 2016.\2\ As explained in the memorandum from the Acting 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department has 
exercised its discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due to 
the closure of the Federal Government in January 2016. All deadlines in 
this segment of the proceeding have been extended by four business 
days. The revised deadline for the final results of these reviews is 
now April 8, 2016.\3\

Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The HTSUS numbers are provided for

Final Results of the Administrative Review and New Shipper Reviews

    For the final results of the administrative review, we determine 
that the following percentage weighted-average dumping margins exist 
for the period September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted
                                                              average
                    Producer/exporter                     dumping margin
                                                             (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
China Kingdom (Beijing) Import & Export Co., Ltd........           22.16
Deyan Aquatic Products and Food Co., Ltd................           12.04
Shanghai Ocean International International Trading Co.,            17.23
 Ltd....................................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the final results of the new shipper reviews, the Department 
determines that a dumping margin of 42.45 percent exists for 
merchandise produced and exported by Hubei Yuesheng Aquatic Products 
Co., Ltd. and a dumping margin of 26.10 percent exists for merchandise 
produced and exported by Weishan Hongda Aquatic Food Co., Ltd., 
covering the period September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014.

Assessment

    The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries covered by these reviews.\6\ In 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated importer-
specific (or customer-specific) assessment rates for merchandise 
subject to these reviews.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For these final results, we divided the total dumping margins 
(calculated as the difference between normal value and export price) 
for each of the respondents' importers or customers by the total number 
of kilograms the exporter sold to that importer or customer. We will 
direct CBP to assess the resulting per-kilogram dollar amount against 
each kilogram of merchandise in each of that importer's/customer's 
entries during the review period.
    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases 
submitted by companies individually examined during these reviews, the 
Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide 
rate. We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after 
the date of publication of these final results of reviews.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of the administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date as provided 
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject merchandise 
exported by the companies listed above, the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate

[[Page 21842]]

established in the final results of the administrative review for each 
exporter as listed above, except if the rate is zero or de minimis, 
then no cash deposit will be required for that exporter; (2) for 
previously investigated companies not listed above that have separate 
rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific 
rate published for the investigation; (3) for all other PRC exporters 
of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 
223.01 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject 
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC entity that supplied that 
non-PRC exporter.
    With respect to Hubei Yuesheng, a respondent in the new shipper 
review, the Department established a combination cash deposit rate for 
this company consistent with its practice, as follows: (1) For subject 
merchandise produced and exported by Hubei Yuesheng the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate established in the final results of the new 
shipper review; (2) for subject merchandise exported by Hubei Yuesheng, 
but not produced by Hubei Yuesheng, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for subject merchandise produced 
by Hubei Yuesheng, but not exported by Hubei Yuesheng, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter.
    With respect to Hongda, a respondent in the new shipper review, the 
Department established a combination cash deposit rate for this company 
consistent with its practice, as follows: (1) For subject merchandise 
produced and exported by Hongda the cash deposit rate will be the rate 
established in the final results of the new shipper review; (2) for 
subject merchandise exported by Hongda, but not produced by Hongda, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for 
subject merchandise produced by Hongda, but not exported by Hongda, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter.
    These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed regarding these 
final results within five days of the date of publication of this 
notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final 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 the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    These final results of reviews are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(2)(B)(iv), 751(a)(3), 777(i) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h), 351.214 and 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: April 8, 2016.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
