SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 8, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from China for the period of review
February 1, 2018, through January 31, 2019.\1\ Pursuant to requests
from interested parties, on May 2, 2019, in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from China with respect to 102
companies.\2\ On June 10, 2019, Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee
(the petitioner) timely withdrew its requests for an administrative
review of all of the companies for which it had requested a review.\3\

Review, 84 FR 2816 (February 8, 2019).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of the Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce 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 date
of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioner
timely withdrew all of its review requests. Because Commerce received
no other requests for review for 14 of the companies for which a review
was initiated, we are rescinding this review of shrimp from China for
the period February 1, 2018, through January 31, 2019, in part, with
respect to these 14 entities, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
These 14 entities are: (1) Dalian Hengtai Foods Co., Ltd.; (2) Dalian
Philica Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd.; (3) Dalian Sunrise
Foodstuffs Co., Ltd.; (4) Dongwei Aquatic Products (Zhangzhou) Co.,
Ltd.; (5) Fujian Dongwei Food Co., Ltd.; (6) Fujian Hongao Trade
Development Co.; (7) Fujian R & J Group Ltd.; (8) Gallant Ocean Group;
(9) Guangdong Rainbow Aquatic Development; (10) Penglai Yuming
Foodstuff Co., Ltd.; (11) Rizhao Meijia Keyuan Foods Co. Ltd.; (12)
Suizhong Tieshan Food Co., Ltd.; (13) Yangjiang Guolian Seafood Co.,
Ltd.; and (14) Zhangzhou Xinhui Foods Co., Ltd. The instant review will
continue with respect to the remaining companies for which a review was
initiated.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies
for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate 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 the only reminder to importers whose entries
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, 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 presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751
and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: October 10, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
