**AGENCY:**
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
**SUMMARY:**
On September 15, 2009, the Department of Commerce (“Department”) published the final results and final partial rescission of the antidumping duty administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (“Vietnam”) covering the period February 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008. *See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review* , 74 FR 47191 (September 15, 2009) (“ *Final Results* ”). Pursuant to section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the *Final Results* to correct a ministerial error in the name assigned to a respondent not selected for individual examination, Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation, that received a separate rate.
**EFFECTIVE DATE:**
October 20, 2009.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On September 15, 2009, Minh Hai Export Frozen Seafood Processing Joint-Stock Company, Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock Company, Bac Lieu Fisheries Joint Stock Company, Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation, and UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Corporation (collectively, “SR respondents”) filed timely allegations, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c)(1), that the Department made ministerial errors regarding the respective company names listed in the *Final Results* . No other interested parties filed ministerial error allegations or rebuttals to the SR respondents' ministerial error allegation.
The SR respondents allege that the Department made a ministerial error with respect to the names listed in the “Final Results of Review” section of the *Final Results* . Specifically, Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock Company claims that the Department inadvertently omitted the claimed “doing-business-as” (“dba”) name of “STAPIMEX” from the Final Results. Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation argues that its name abbreviated as “Thuan Phuoc JSC” in the Final Results is not a dba name actually used by the company. Additionally, Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation argues that the Department omitted six other dba names from the *Final Results* . [^1] UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Corporation argues that the Department made a ministerial error in the *Final Results* by omitting the following dba names: UTXI, UTXI Co. Ltd., Khanh Loi Seafood Factory, and Hoang Phuong Seafood Factory. Lastly, Minh Hai Export Frozen Seafood Processing Joint-Stock Company argues that the Department omitted the abbreviation “Minh Hai Export-Jostoco” from the *Final Results* .
[^1] Thuan Phuoc, Frozen Seafoods Factory No. 32, Frozen Seafoods Fty, Frozen Seafoods Factory 32, Seafoods and Foodstuff Factory, and My Son Seafood Factory.
**Amended Final Results of Review**
A ministerial error, as defined in section 751(h) of the Act, includes “errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error which the {Secretary} considers ministerial.” *See also* 19 CFR 351.224(f). After analyzing the SR respondents' allegations, we have determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that the Department made a ministerial error in the *Final Results* by unintentionally assigning to Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation an abbreviated form of its name, “Thuan Phuoc JSC,” that was not used by the company as a trade name. [^2] Therefore, we are amending the final results of administrative review of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam for the period February 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008, to remove “Thuan Phuoc JSC” as an abbreviation of SR respondent, Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation. Although we disagree that we made ministerial errors with respect to the other allegations referenced above, for clarification we will include dba names in these amended final results. For further explanation of our reasons, *see Amended Final Memo* . The weighted-average percentage dumping margins have not changed from the *Final Results* for any companies:

In the *Amended Final Memo* , the Department also addresses the ministerial error allegations brought by Minh Hai Export Frozen Seafood Processing Joint-Stock Company, Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock Company, Bac Lieu Fisheries Joint Stock Company, and UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Corporation.

**Assessment Rate**
The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries based on the amended final results. For details on the assessment of antidumping duties on all appropriate entries, *see Final Results* . The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the amended final results of the administrative review.
**Cash Deposit Requirements**
The following deposit rates will be effective retroactively on any entries made on or after September 15, 2009, the date of publication of the *Final Results* , for all shipments of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam 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 the exporters listed above, the cash deposit rate will be established in these amended final results of review (except, if the rate is zero or *de minimis, i.e.* , less than 0.5 percent, a zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the Vietnamese-wide rate of 25.76 percent; and (4) for all non-Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Vietnamese exporters that supplied that non-Vietnamese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
**Notification to Importers**
This notice also 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 in the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
**Notification of Interested Parties**

Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested.
