Final Results of CCR

    Because we received no comments from any interested party, these 
final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results and no 
decision memorandum accompanies this notice. Specifically, Commerce 
continues to find that Grupo Milo is the successor-in-interest to GRAMM 
and that, consistent with our established practice, Grupo Milo should 
receive the AD cash deposit rate previously assigned to GRAMM.
    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 
suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise produced or 
exported by Gruppo Milo and entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice in the 
Federal Register at 5.30 percent, which is the current AD cash deposit 
rate for GRAMM.\5\ This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect 
until further notice.
