respondents, Valbruna and Bolzano
(collectively, Valbruna/Bolzano),
challenged the Department’s Final
Determination before the CIT.
In AL Tech Specialty Steel Corp., et
al. v. United States, Slip. Op. 04–114
(CIT, September 8, 2004), the CIT Court
affirmed (1) the Department’s finding
that the Province of Bolzano’s purchase
of a particular industrial site did not
confer a subsidy; (2) the Department’s
use of a nationwide, rather than a
region–specific benchmark for
measuring the adequacy of
remuneration of Valbruna’s lease of an
industrial site from the Province of
Bolzano; and (3) the Department’s
determination that its ‘‘tying’’ practice
was inapplicable to plant closure
assistance provided under Law 193/84.
However, the Court remanded the
following issues to the Department for
further consideration: (1) the
Department’s determination that a two–
year rent abatement granted to Valbruna
on its lease of an industrial site from the
Province of Bolzano conferred a
subsidy; (2) the Department’s
determination not to adjust the
benchmark used to determine adequacy
of remuneration under Valbruna’s lease
of the Bolzano site to account for
Valbruna’s assumption of future
extraordinary maintenance expenses; (3)
the Department’s determination not to
adjust the lease benchmark to account
for depreciation of buildings on the
Bolzano industrial site; (4) the
Department’s determination that aid
under Law 25/81 continued to confer a
subsidy despite evidence that the
subsidy had been repaid; (5) the
Department’s determination to treat
Articles 2 and 4 of Law 193/84 as a
single program for purposes of the small
grants test; thus, allocating the aid over
time rather than expensing it in the year
of receipt; (6) the Department’s finding
that EU/European Social Fund (‘‘ESF’’)
Objective 4 funding was regionally
specific to Italy, and (7) the
Department’s finding that Italian ESF
Objective 4 funding was regionally
specific to Bolzano.
The Draft Final Results Pursuant to
Remand (Draft Results) were released to
parties on October 18, 2004. On October
22, 2004, the Department received
comments from respondents on the
Draft Results. Petitioners did not submit
comments on the Draft Results. There
were no substantive changes made to
the Remand Results as a result of
comments received on the Draft Results.
On October 27, 2004, the Department
responded to the CIT’s Order of Remand
by filing the Remand Results. In its
Remand Results, the Department
determined on remand that the two–

year lease abatement was a bargained–
for exchange and, therefore, did not
constitute a countervailable subsidy and
that no countervailable benefit under
Law 25/81 existed for Valbruna after
January 1, 1986. As a result of the
remand redetermination, the net
subsidy rate for Valbruna/Bolzano was
revised from 1.28 to 0.65 percent ad
valorem, which is de minimis.
On December 1, 2004, the CIT
received comments from petitioners and
respondents. On December 21, 2004, the
Department responded to these
comments.
On March 9, 2005, the CIT affirmed
the Department’s findings in the
Remand Results. Specifically, the CIT
upheld the Department’s finding on
remand that the rent abatement did not
constitute a countervailable subsidy and
the Department’s treatment of Law 25/
81. AL Tech II, Slip Op. 05–30 (CIT
March 9, 2005).
Suspension of Liquidation
The CAFC, in Timken, held that the
Department must publish notice of a
decision of the CIT or the CAFC which
is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with the
Department’s final determination or
results. Publication of this notice fulfills
that obligation. The CAFC also held that
the Department must suspend
liquidation of the subject merchandise
until there is a ‘‘conclusive’’ decision in
the case. Therefore, pursuant to Timken,
the Department must continue to
suspend liquidation pending the
expiration of the period to appeal the
CIT’s March 9, 2005, decision or, if that
decision is appealed, pending a final
decision by the CAFC. The Department
will instruct CBP to revise cash deposit
rates, as appropriate, and to liquidate
relevant entries covering the subject
merchandise effective March 29, 2005,
in the event that the CIT’s ruling is not
appealed, or if appealed and upheld by
the CAFC.
Dated: March 21, 2005.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.
