FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Renkey or Scott Fullerton,
Office 6, Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW,

respectively.
Background
The Department received timely requests from Shanghai Blessing
(September 14, 2004) and Shunli (September 30, 2004), pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c)), for new shipper reviews of
the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the
PRC.
Initiation of Reviews
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii) and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), in their requests for review, Shanghai Blessing
and Shunli certified that they did not export the subject merchandise
to the United States during the period of investigation (POI) and that
they are not affiliated with any company which exported subject
merchandise to the United States during the POI. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Shanghai Blessing and Shunli further certified
that their export activities are not controlled by the central
government of the PRC. Also, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Shanghai Blessing and Shunli submitted documentation
establishing the date on which each company first shipped the subject
merchandise to the United States, the volume of its first shipment, and
the date of the first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United
States.
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.214(d), we are initiating new shipper reviews of the
antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the PRC.
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(h)(i), we intend to issue the
preliminary results of these reviews not later than 180 days from the
date of publication of this notice. All provisions of 19 CFR 351.214
will apply to subject merchandise exported by Shanghai Blessing and
produced by Yichang Shilian, and subject merchandise exported by Shunli
and produced by AFCS.
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the period of review
(POR) for a new shipper review initiated in the month immediately
following the annual anniversary month is the twelve-month period
immediately preceding the annual anniversary month. Therefore, the new
shipper reviews will have a POR of September 1, 2003 through August 31,
2004.
Shanghai Blessing has identified Yichang Shilian as the producer of
the subject merchandise for the sale under review. In addition, Shunli
has identified AFCS as the producer of the subject merchandise for the
sale under review. We will apply the bonding option under 19 CFR
351.107(b)(1)(i) only to entries of subject merchandise from these two
exporters for which the respective producers under review are the
suppliers.
Interested parties may submit applications for disclosure of
business proprietary information under administrative protective order
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 351.306.
This initiation and notice are in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(2)(B)) and 19 CFR 351.214.
