collapsed Ningbo Nanlian and HFTC5 in the 1997-1998 administrative 
review. See Final Results, and accompanying Decision Memo at Comment 
20. On February 13, 2003, and on May 21, 2004, the CIT issued orders 
remanding the case to the Department and ordering the Department to 
further explain why its findings warranted the collapsing of HFTC5 and 
Ningbo Nanlian. See Hontex Enterprises, Inc., d/b/a/ Louisiana Packing 
Co. v. United States, 248 F. Supp. 2d 1323 (CIT 2003), and Hontex 
Enterprises Inc. d/b/a Louisiana Packing Company v. United States of

remand redeterminations on August 12, 2003, and October 18, 2004 
(``Remand Results II''), respectively.
    On August 31, 2005, the CIT issued its ruling on the Department's 
Remand Results II, again remanding the case to the Department. See 
Hontex Enterprises, Inc., d/b/a/ Louisiana Packing Co., v. United 
States, Slip Op. 05-116, Court No. 00-00223 (Ct. Int'l Trade August 31, 
2005). Specifically, the CIT remanded the case for the Department to: 
(1) (a) find that Mr. Edward Lee, the owner of Louisiana Packing Co. 
(Louisiana Packing), an importer of crawfish tail meat from the 
People's Republic of China (PRC) and one of the joint venture owners of 
Ningbo Nanlian Frozen Foods Company, Ltd. (Ningbo Nanlian), did not 
control another respondent, Huaiyin Foreign Trade Corporation (5) 
(HFTC5), within the meaning of 19 U.S.C. Sec.  1677(33)(F) and (G), and 
(b) find that HFTC5 and Ningbo Nanlian were not affiliated, and (c) 
find that HFTC5 and Ningbo Nanlian should not be collapsed and given a 
single antidumping margin, and (d) find that Ningbo Nanlian is entitled 
to a separate company-specific antidumping margin and calculate that 
margin using the verified information on the record; or (2) (a) reopen 
the record in order to gather additional evidence of Mr. Lee's control 
relationship with HFTC5 during the period of review, (b) place such 
additional information on the record, and (c) conduct an analysis that 
takes into account any such new evidence, including the temporal aspect 
of any such new evidence. See CPA Remand II.
    The Department submitted the Final Results of Remand to the CIT on 
December 9, 2005. In its Final Results of Remand, in accordance with 
the CIT's August 31, 2005, order, the Department found (1) that Mr. Lee 
did not control HFTC5 within the meaning of 19 U.S.C. Sec.  1677(33)(F) 
and (G), (2) that HFTC5 and Ningbo Nanlian were not affiliated, (3) 
that HFTC5 and Ningbo Nanlian should not be collapsed and given a 
single antidumping margin, and (4) that Ningbo Nanlian is entitled to a 
separate company-specific antidumping margin.
    On April 3, 2006, the CIT sustained the final remand determination 
made by the Department. See Hontex Judgment. The Department filed its 
appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 
(``CAFC'') on May 31, 2006. The CAFC granted the Department's motion to 
dismiss the appeal and dismissed the case on September 21, 2006.

Amendment to the Final Determination

    Because there is now a final and conclusive court decision, 
effective as of the publication date of this notice, we are amending 
the 97/98 Final Results and revising the weighted-average dumping 
margins for both companies, for purposes of the 97/98 period of review:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Weighted-Average
                Manufacturer/Exporter                  Margin (Percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ningbo Nanlian Frozen Foods Company, Ltd............                2.16
Huaiyin Foreign Trade Corporation (5)...............              201.63
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have calculated Ningbo Nanlian's company-specific antidumping 
margin as 2.16 percent. See the Memorandum to the File from Maureen A. 
Flannery, ``Analysis for the Draft Results of Determination Pursuant to 
Court Remand for Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People's 
Republic of China: Ningbo Nanlian Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.,'' dated 
November 22, 2005. There have been no changes to this analysis for 
these amended final results. Additionally, we are determining HFTC5's 
margin based on its own performance in the administrative review. 
Therefore, HFTC5's antidumping duty margin will remain 201.63 percent. 
The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection within 15 days of publication of 
the final results of this review.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: October 30, 2006.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
