reviews is reasonable); and (2) exclude a ``net exchange variation''

issued its final results of redetermination. See Final Results of

revising its NV to remove the ``net exchange variation'' account from 
Fischer's financial expense ratio. On October 24, 2012, the CIT 
sustained the Remand Results.
