SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 7, 2016, based on timely requests for review for 62 
companies by Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee (``Petitioner''),\1\ 
193 companies by the American Shrimp Processors Association 
(``ASPA''),\2\ and various Vietnamese companies,\3\ the Department 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp from Vietnam covering the period February 1, 2015, 
through January 31, 2016.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Petitioner's Request for Administrative Review, dated 
February 29, 2016.
    \2\ See ASPA's Request for Administrative Review, dated February 
29, 2016.
    \3\ See VASEP's submission, ``Request for Administrative Review 
(02/01/15-01/31/16),'' dated February 29, 2016. See also Quoc Viet 
Seaproducts Processing Trading and Import-Export Co., Ltd.'s (``Quoc 
Viet'') and Thong Thuan Company Limited's (``Thong Thuan'') combined 
submission dated February 29, 2016.
    \4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 20324 (April 7, 2016) (``Initiation 
Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 30, 2016, Quoc Viet and Thong Thuan withdrew their 
respective requests for administrative review.\5\ On July 1, 2016, 
Petitioner withdrew its request for an administrative review for 20 
companies, and their various name iterations, as listed in the 
Initiation Notice.\6\ On July 1, 2016, ASPA withdrew its request for an 
administrative review for 22 companies and their various name 
iterations, as listed in the Initiation Notice.\7\ On July 1, 2016, 
VASEP withdrew its request for an administrative review of 17 companies 
and their various name iterations, as listed in the Initiation 
Notice.\8\ No other party requested a review of these exporters. On 
July 6, 2016, Petitioner, ASPA, and the Minh Phu Group withdrew their 
respective requests for administrative review of the Minh Phu Group, 
which the Department intends to rescind in a separate notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Quoc Viet and Thong Thuan's Submission re; ``Withdrawal 
of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated June 30, 2016.
    \6\ See Petitioners' Submissions re; ``Domestic Producers' 
Partial Withdrawal of Review Requests,'' dated July 1, 2016.
    \7\ See ASPA's Submissions re; ``Domestic Producers' Partial 
Withdrawal of Review Requests,'' dated July 1, 2016.
    \8\ See VASEP's Submission re; ``Partial Withdrawal of Review 
Requests,'' dated July 1, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. Because Petitioner, 
ASPA, and the individual companies all withdrew their requests for 
administrative review within 90 days of the date of publication of the 
Initiation Notice, and no other interested party requested a review of 
these companies,\9\ the Department is rescinding this review with 
respect to the companies with no remaining review requests identified 
in Appendix 1, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ While Petitioner and ASPA withdrew their respective review 
requests of Tan Phong Phu Seafood Co., Ltd., VASEP did not withdraw 
its review request on behalf of this company; thus, we are not 
rescinding the review with respect to Tan Phong Phu Seafood Co., 
Ltd., as there remains an active review request for it on the 
record.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a 
rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required 
at the time of entry, or

withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period February 
1, 2015, through January 31, 2016, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, if appropriate.

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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 11, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
