Department) initiated a changed circumstances review and published a 
notice of preliminary results of changed circumstances review of the

comments on, or requested a public hearing to discuss, the Initiation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 22, 2014, PPL requested that the Department conduct an 
expedited changed circumstances review under 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(iii) 
to confirm that PPL is the successor-in-interest to PMP for purposes of 
determining antidumping duty cash deposits and liabilities.
    On October 10, 2014, the Department initiated this changed 
circumstances review and published the notice of preliminary results, 
determining that PPL is the successor-in-interest to PMP. See 
Initiation and Preliminary Results, 79 FR at 61290. In the Initiation 
and Preliminary Results, we provided all

interested parties with an opportunity to comment or request a public 
hearing regarding our preliminary finding that PPL is the successor-in-
interest to PMP. We received no comments or requests for a public 
hearing from interested parties within the time period set forth in the 
Initiation and Preliminary Results.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater 
shrimp.\2\ The product is currently classified under the following 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers: 
0306.17.0003, 0306.17.0006, 0306.17.0009, 0306.17.0012, 0306.17.0015,

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results, 
and because we received no comments from interested parties to the 
contrary, the Department continues to find that PPL is the successor-
in-interest to PMP. As a result of this determination, we find that PPL 
should receive the cash deposit rate previously assigned to PMP, as a 
part of the Liberty Group of companies, in the most recently completed 
review of the antidumping duty order on shrimp from India.\3\ 
Consequently, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject 
merchandise produced and/or exported by PPL and entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of 
this notice in the Federal Register at 2.49 percent, which is the 
current antidumping duty cash deposit rate for PMP, as a part of the 
Liberty Group.\4\ This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect 
until further notice.
