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\

Review Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
