SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the ‘‘Department’’) has determined that
Hilltop International (‘‘Hilltop’’) is the
successor–in-interest to Yelin Enterprise
Co. Hong Kong (‘‘Yelin’’). As a result,
Hilltop should receive the same
antidumping duty treatment with
respect to certain frozen warmwater
shrimp from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’) as Yelin, as of the date
of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.

Background
The antidumping duty order for
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from
the PRC was published on February 1,
2005. See Notice of Amended Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Antidumping Duty
Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp From the People’s Republic of
China, 70 FR 5149 (February 1, 2005)
(‘‘PRC Shrimp Order’’). As part of the
antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from the PRC,
Yelin received a separate rate of 82.27
percent. Id. at 70 FR at 5151. Moreover,
as part of the preliminary results of the
first administrative review, Yelin
preliminarily received a separate rate of
0.00 percent. See Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp From the People’s
Republic of China: Preliminary Results
and Partial Rescission of the 2004/2006
Administrative Review and Preliminary
Intent To Rescind 2004/2006 New
Shipper Review, 72 FR 10645 (March 9,
2007).
On March 16, 2007, Yelin filed a
submission requesting that the
Department conduct a changed
circumstances review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from the PRC
to confirm that Hilltop is the successor–
in-interest to Yelin.1 In its submission,
Yelin provided information on the
events leading to the transition from
Yelin to Hilltop. Yelin also provided
documentation relating to the change in
name to Hilltop and documentation
relating to the share transfer from Yelin,
to its partners, to Hilltop, to carry on the
business of Yelin. In addition, Yelin
provided documentation relating to the
ownership structure and management,
organizational structure, customer base,
accounting processes, supplier
relationships, products, and pricing. As
part of its March 16, 2007, submission,
Yelin also requested that the
Department conduct an expedited
changed circumstances review.
On May 2, 2007, the Department
published the initiation and preliminary
results of this changed circumstances
review and preliminarily determined
that Hilltop is the successor–in-interest
to Yelin. See Certain Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp from the People’s Republic of
China: Notice of Initiation and

As a result, the Department
preliminarily determined that Hilltop
should receive the same antidumping
duty treatment with respect to certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from the PRC
as Yelin. In the Preliminary Results, we
stated that interested parties could
request a hearing or submit case briefs
and/or written comments to the
Department no later than 30 days after
publication of the Preliminary Results
notice in the Federal Register, and
submit rebuttal briefs, limited to the
issues raised in the case briefs, five days
subsequent to the due date of the case
briefs. See Preliminary Results, 72 FR at
24275. However, we did not receive any
hearing requests or comments on the
Preliminary Results.

The products described above may be
processed from any species of
warmwater shrimp and prawns.

are also included in the scope of this
investigation.
Excluded from the scope are: (1)
Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTS
subheading 1605.20.10.20); (2) shrimp
and prawns generally classified in the
Pandalidae family and commonly
referred to as coldwater shrimp, in any

(or thawed–from-frozen) and peeled
shrimp; (2) to which a ‘‘dusting’’ layer
of rice or wheat flour of at least 95
percent purity has been applied; (3)

flesh thoroughly and evenly coated with
the flour; (4) with the non–shrimp
content of the end product constituting
between four and 10 percent of the
product’s total weight after being
dusted, but prior to being frozen; and (5)
that is subjected to individually quick
frozen (‘‘IQF’’) freezing immediately
after application of the dusting layer.
Battered shrimp is a shrimp–based
product that, when dusted in
accordance with the definition of
dusting above, is coated with a wet
viscous layer containing egg and/or
milk, and par–fried.
The products covered by this
investigation are currently classified
under the following HTS subheadings:
0306.13.00.03, 0306.13.00.06,
0306.13.00.09, 0306.13.00.12,

this investigation
is dispositive.
Final Results of Changed

publication of the final results of the
ongoing 2004/2006 administrative
