appealed to the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT), which affirmed

Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which vacated and remanded the 
Commission's determination. Bratsk Aluminum Smelter v. United States, 
444 F.3d 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2006). On August 17, 2006, the CIT issued an 
order remanding the case to the Commission to comply with the Federal 
Circuit's decision in Bratsk. By order of September 22, 2006, the 
remand proceeding was stayed upon the Commission's motion. On December 
22, 2006, the CIT issued an order lifting the stay and giving the 
Commission 90 days to issue its remand determination.
