SUMMARY: On December 3, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (‘‘CAFC’’) affirmed the Department of Commerce’s (‘‘Department’’) final results of redetermination pursuant to the Department’s voluntary remand, wherein the Department calculated credit expenses from the date of invoice, rather than the date of shipment for Mittal Steel Point Lisas Ltd. (‘‘Mittal’’).1 The Court also affirmed the Department’s classification of Mittal’s composite wire rod as non–prime merchandise. The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is October 1, 2003, through September 30, 2004. The Department is amending the final results of the second administrative review of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod (‘‘wire rod’’) from Trinidad and Tobago to reflect the U.S. Court of International Trade’s (‘‘CIT’’) decision. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 2009. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis McClure, AD/CVD Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–5973. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 16, 2005, the Department published its final results in the second administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wire rod from Trinidad and Tobago covering the POR.2 On December 16, 2005, and January 17, 2006, respectively, Mittal filed a summons and complaint with the U.S. Court of International Trade (‘‘CIT’’) challenging the Department’s credit expense calculation and treatment of non–prime merchandise. On March 7, 2007, the Department requested a voluntary remand so that we could reevaluate the calculation of credit expenses and inventory carrying costs used to calculate constructed export price. On April 24, 2007, the CIT granted the Department’s voluntary remand motion to reevaluate its calculation of credit expenses and inventory carrying costs and affirmed the Department’s treatment of non– prime merchandise. On June 21, 2007, the Department filed with the CIT its final results of redetermination, calculating credit expenses from the invoice date, rather Manufacturer/exporter than the shipment date. The Department also changed the inventory carrying costs used in its constructed export price calculation to reflect the date of invoice as the date of sale. On August 8, 2007, the CIT sustained the final results of redetermination on remand. On September 7, 2007, the Department notified the public that the final judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Final Results. On October 5, 2007, and October 9, 2007, respectfully, both Mittal and Gerdau Ameristeel Corp. and Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., the petitioners, appealed the CIT’s decision. On December 3, 2008, the CAFC affirmed the CIT’s decision on both issues. The deadline to appeal the redetermination pursuant to remand is March 3, 2009, 90 days after the date the CAFC affirmed the CIT’s decision (i.e., December 3, 2008). However, on January 12, 2009, Mittal filed a motion to lift the injunction on liquidating entries related to this case, in which it informed the CIT that neither it nor petitioners intended to petition the U.S. Supreme Court for certiorari. The CIT granted Mittal’s motion on January 13, 2009. Therefore, the Department is amending the Final Results with respect to Mittal. Amended Final Results of Review The remand redetermination explained that the Department determined to calculate credit expense from the date of invoice. Based on this reconsideration, we are amending the final results for Mittal. Accordingly, we are applying to Mittal the following dumping margin. Period of review Weighted–average margin (%) Original: Mittal Steel Point Lisas Ltd. (formerly Caribbean Ispat Limited) ................................... Assessment Notification to Interested Parties The Department has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by these amended final results. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of these amended final results This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.402(f)(3), failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary’s presumption 1 See Mittal Steel Point Lisas Ltd. v.

Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Wolverine World Wide, Inc. 
(Footwear and Apparel), Rockford, Cedar Springs and Howard City, MI

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:
    Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for ``...the 
establishment... of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the United 
States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for other 
purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant 
qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) provide for the 
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities 
cannot serve the specific use involved, and when the activity results 
in significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the Kent-Ottawa-Muskegon Foreign Trade Zone Authority, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 189, has made application to the Board 
for authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the footwear 
and apparel distribution and processing facilities of Wolverine World 
Wide, Inc., located in Rockford, Cedar Springs and Howard City, 
Michigan (FTZ Docket 47-2008, filed 8/25/08);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 51440, 9/03/08); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to footwear and apparel distribution and 
processing at the facilities of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., located in 
Rockford, Cedar Springs and Howard City, Michigan (Subzone 189C), as 
described in the application and Federal Register notice, and subject 
to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28.
