EFFECTIVE DATE: December 5, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frances Veith, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4295. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On July 2, 2007, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). See Initiation of Five–Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 72 FR 35968 (July 2, 2007) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). Based on an adequate response from the domestic interested party and an inadequate response from the respondent interested party, the Department is conducting an expedited sunset review to determine whether revocation of the antidumping order would lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and section 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of the Department’s regulations. See Memorandum to the International Trade Commission regarding, ‘‘Expedited Sunset Review of the AD/CVD Order Initiated in July 2007,’’ dated August 21, 2007. On November 5, 2007, the Department published a notice extending the time limit for the completion of the final results of this review by 30 days until November 29, 2007. See Brake Rotors from the People’s Republic of China: Extension of Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order, 72 FR 62430 (November 5, 2007). Extension of Time Limits for Final Results In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the Department may extend the 120–day time period for making its determination by not more than 90 days, if it determines that a PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 review is extraordinarily complicated. As set forth in section 751(c)(5)(C)(i) of the Act, the Department may treat a sunset review as extraordinarily complicated if there are a large number of issues, as is the case in this proceeding. In particular, this sunset review involves complicated issues pertaining to adequacy of responses, related party status, and interested party status. Therefore, the Department has determined, pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(C)(i) of the Act, that the second sunset review of brake rotors from the PRC is extraordinarily complicated, as the Department must consider numerous arguments presented in the domestic interested party’s and the U.S. importer’s August 1, 2007, substantive response and each parties’ August 6, 2007, rebuttals to the substantive responses. Based on the timing of the case, the final results of this expedited sunset review cannot be completed within the statutory time limit of 120 days. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for the completion of the final results by an additional 32 days, from the November 29, 2007, extended deadline, to no later than December 31, 2007, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: November 29, 2007. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.

Consistent with the Federal Circuit’s decision in Timken Company v. United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 (Fed.

On July 16, 2007, the CAFC issued a judgment (without an opinion) affirming the CIT’s decision upholding Commerce’s remand redetermination.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 5, 2007.

[[Page 68563]]

Republic of China (``PRC''), for the period October 1, 2002, through 
September 30, 2003. In its redetermination, the Department assigned 
Hangzhou Spring Washer Co., Ltd. (also known as Zhejiang Wanxin Grp 
(ZWG)) (``HSW'') a dumping margin of 19.48 percent, rather than the 
0.00 percent calculated in the final results of the 2002-2003 
antidumping duty administrative review of helical spring lock washers 
from the PRC. As there is now a final and conclusive court decision in 
this case, the Department is amending the final results of the 2002-
2003 antidumping duty administrative review of helical spring lock 
washers from the PRC. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marin Weaver or 
Charles Riggle, AD/CVD Operations, Office 8, Import Administration,

(202) 482-2336 or (202) 482-0650, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 17, 2005, the Department published its final results of 
antidumping duty administrative review. See Certain Helical Spring Lock 
Washers from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 28274 (May 17, 2005) 
(``Final Results''), and accompanying Issues and Decisions Memorandum 
for the administrative review covering October 1, 2002, through 
September 30, 2003. In its Final Results, the Department calculated an 
individual rate for the sole respondent, HSW. The petitioner in this 
case, Shakeproof Assembly Components Division of Illinois Tool Works 
Inc. (``Shakeproof''), filed a court challenge (Court No. 05-00404) to 
the Department's Final Results. In the CIT proceeding, the Department 
moved for a voluntary remand, which the court granted. In the remand 
redetermination, Commerce revisited the methodology employed in the 
valuation of zinc plating services and determined to rely solely on the 
value submitted by petitioner, Shakeproof. This resulted in a 
recalculation of HSW's dumping margin to 19.48 percent. See Final 
Results of Redetermination Pursuant to United States Court of 
International Trade Remand Order Shakeproof Assembly Components 
Division of Illinois Tool Works, Inc., Plaintiff, v. United States, 
Defendant, and Hangzhou Spring Washer Co., Ltd., Defendant - Intervenor 
(June 2, 2006). On August 25, 2006, the CIT sustained the final remand 
redetermination made by the Department. See Shakeproof Assembly v. 
United States, Slip Op. 2006-129, 2006 Ct. Intl. Trade LEXIS 132 (CIT 
Aug. 25, 2006).
    On October 23, 2006, HSW appealed the CIT's decision. Consistent 
with the Federal Circuit's decision in Timken Company v. United States, 
893 F.2d 337, 341 (Fed. Cir. 1990), on November 30, 2006, the 
Department published a ``Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony with 
Final Results of Administrative Review,'' which continued suspension of 
liquidation of the subject merchandise until there was a ``final and 
conclusive'' decision in this case (71 FR 69204). On July 16, 2007, the 
CAFC issued a judgment (without an opinion) affirming the CIT's 
decision upholding Commerce's remand redetermination. The CAFC's final 
judgment was not in harmony with the Department's Final Results. 
Appeals of this decision were due by October 15, 2007, and HSW did not 
file an appeal of the CAFC's decision.

Amended Final Results

    As the litigation in this case has concluded, the Department is 
amending the Final Results. The revised dumping margin in the amended 
final results is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      Exporter                              Margin

 Hangzhou Spring Washer Co., Ltd. (also known as           19.48 percent
 Zhejiang Wanxin Grp (ZWG)).........................
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after publication of this 
notice, and cash deposit instructions to revise the cash deposit rate 
for the company listed above, effective as of the publication date of 
this notice.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 735(d) and 
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: November 23, 2007.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
