SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 31, 2018, SSIPL requested that Commerce conduct an 
expedited changed circumstances review, pursuant to section 751(b)(1) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 351.216(b), and 
19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), to confirm that SSIPL is the successor-in-
interest to SAFE for purposes of determining antidumping duty cash 
deposits and liabilities. In its submission, SSIPL explained that SAFE 
undertook a business reorganization and transferred its shrimp business 
to SSIPL.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See SSIPL's Letter, ``Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: 
Request to Initiate a Successor-in-Interest Changed Circumstances 
Review,'' dated October 31, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 26, 2018, Commerce initiated this changed circumstances 
review, and on August 12, 2019, Commerce published the notice of 
preliminary results, determining that SSIPL is the successor-in-
interest to SAFE.\2\ In the Preliminary Results, we provided all 
interested parties with an opportunity to comment and request a public 
hearing regarding our preliminary finding that SSIPL is the successor-
in-interest to SAFE.\3\ We received no comments or requests for a 
public hearing from interested parties within the time period set forth 
in the Preliminary Results.\4\

    \5\ For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, see 
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016-2017, 83 FR 32835 (July 
16, 2018) (12th AR of Shrimp from India), and accompanying Issues 
and Decision Memorandum at ``Scope of the Order'' section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, and because we 
received no comments from interested parties to the contrary, Commerce 
continues to find that SSIPL is the successor-in-interest to SAFE. As a 
result of this determination and consistent with established practice, 
we find that SSIPL should receive the cash deposit rate previously 
assigned to SAFE. Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject 
merchandise produced or exported by SSIPL and entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of 
this notice in the Federal Register at 1.35 percent, which is the 
current antidumping duty cash-deposit rate for SAFE.\6\ This cash 
deposit requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
