Final Results of CCR

    For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, and because we 
received no comments from interested parties challenging our 
preliminary finding, Commerce continues to find that Elque Ventures is 
the successor-in-interest to Elque & Co. As a result of this 
determination and consistent with our established practice, we find 
that Elque Ventures should receive the AD cash deposit rate previously 
assigned to Elque & Co. as part of the Elque Group.\2\ Because there 
are no changes from the Preliminary Results, there is no decision 
memorandum accompanying this notice and we are adopting the Preliminary 
Results as the final results of this CCR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Elque Group previously consisted of Elque & Co., 
Calcutta Seafoods Pvt. Ltd. (Calcutta Seafoods), and Bay Seafood 
Pvt. Ltd. (Bay Seafood). We now find that the Elque Group consists 
of EVPL, Calcutta Seafoods, and Bay Seafood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject 
merchandise produced and/or exported by Elque Ventures and entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of this notice in the Federal Register at 3.88 percent, which is 
the current AD cash deposit rate for Elque & Co. as part of the Elque 
Group.\3\ This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
