    On May 13, 2024, Commerce published the preliminary results of this 
expedited CCR, determining that Varma is the successor-in-interest to 
Varma Marine for purposes of determining AD cash deposits and 
liabilities, and provided all interested parties with an opportunity to 
comment.\1\ No interested party submitted comments on the Preliminary 
Results. Accordingly, the final results remain unchanged from the 
Preliminary Results.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater 
shrimp. The product is currently classified under the following 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) numbers: 
0306.17.00.04, 0306.17.00.05, 0306.17.00.07, 0306.17.00.08, 
0306.17.00.10, 0306.17.00.11, 0306.17.00.13, 0306.17.00.14, 
0306.17.00.16, 0306.17.00.17, 0306.17.00.19, 0306.17.00.20, 
0306.17.00.22, 0306.17.00.23, 0306.17.00.25, 0306.17.00.26, 
0306.17.00.28, 0306.17.00.29, 0306.17.00.41, 0306.17.00.42, 
1605.21.10.30, and 1605.29.10.10. Although the HTSUS numbers are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product 
description remains dispositive. For a complete description of the 
scope of the order, see the Preliminary Results.

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 Varma is the 
successor-in-interest to Varma Marine. As a result of this 
determination and consistent with our established practice, we find 
that Varma should receive the AD cash deposit rate previously assigned 
to Varma Marine. Because there are no changes from the Preliminary 
Results and because we received no comments from interested parties, 
there is no decision memorandum accompanying this notice and we are 
adopting the Preliminary Results as the final results of this CCR.
    Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject 
merchandise produced and/or exported by Varma and entered, or withdrawn 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 Varma Marine.\2\ This cash deposit 
requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
