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 frozen warmwater shrimp from India for the period February 1, 2017, through January 31, 2018. 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. Based upon these requests, on April 16, 2018, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation listing 248 companies for which Commerce received timely requests for review.

In July 2018, all interested parties timely withdrew their requests for an administrative review of 234 companies. These companies are listed in the Appendix to this notice. The review continues for Blue-Fin Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd., Calcutta Seafoods Pvt. Ltd., Crystal Sea Foods Private Limited, Forstar Frozen Foods Pvt.

See Petitioner's Letters, “Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Domestic Producers' Partial Withdrawal of Review Requests,” dated July 12 and 16, 2018; ASPA's Letters, “Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India (02/01/2017-01/31/2018); ASPA's Partial Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,” dated July 12 and 16, 2018; Respondents' Letter, “Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Withdrawal of Requests for Administrative Review for Liberty Group, Falcon, and Devi Fisheries Group,” dated July 12, 2018; Respondents' Letter, “Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Withdrawal of Requests for Administrative Review for 33 Indian Producers/Exporters (02/01/17-01/31/18),” dated July 12, 2018; and West Coast Frozen's Letter, “Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India—Withdrawal of Request for Antidumping Duty Admin Review of West Coast Frozen Foods Private Limited,” dated July 13, 2018.
Partial Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary 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, certain parties withdrew their requests for review by the 90-day deadline. Accordingly, we are rescinding this administrative review with respect to the companies listed in the Appendix to this notice.
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 destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
