SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The original publication of this notice
occurred on March 16, 2009. See Brake
Rotors from the People’s Republic of
China: Notice of Amended Final Results
of Administrative Review Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty
Order Pursuant to Court Decision, 74 FR
11081(March 16, 2009). Due to several
inadvertent errors in the Federal
E:\FR\FM\03APN1.SGM
03APN1
15254
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 63 / Friday, April 3, 2009 / Notices
Register notice, we are republishing the
notice in its entirety. Specifically, there
were errors in the title, the listed period
of review (‘‘POR’’) and two misspellings
in the ‘‘Amended Final Results’’ section.
This matter arose from a challenge to
the Final Results issued by the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) for the period of review
(‘‘POR’’) April 1, 2004, through March
31, 2005.1 See Brake Rotors from the
People’s Republic of China: Final
Results and Partial Rescission of the
2004/2005 Administrative Review and
Notice of Rescission of 2004/2005 New
Shipper Review, 71 FR 66304
(November 14, 2006) (‘‘Final Results’’).
Following publication of the Final
Results, the Respondents2 filed a
lawsuit with the Court of International
Trade (‘‘CIT’’) challenging the
Department’s Final Results. The
Respondents contested several aspects
of the Final Results, including the
Department’s surrogate valuation for
steel scrap.
On June 26, 2008, the CIT directed the
Department to: 1) explain whether the
rejected rotors, casting strands/handles,
etc., reintroduced into the production
process should be properly accounted
for in the factor of production
‘‘STLSCRAP’’; 2) address the issue of
the composition of the predominant
scrap used in the production process; 3)
address respondents’ argument that the
Department should be solely focusing
on the type of scrap the Respondents
reported in the factor field
‘‘STLSCRAP’’; and 4) explain whether
the Department has in fact reassessed its
position in subsequent reviews as to the
proper harmonized tariff schedule
(‘‘HTS’’) classification of the
Respondents’ scrap. See Laizhou Auto
Brake Equipment Company, et. al. v.
United States, Court No. 06–00430, Slip
Op. 08–71 (CIT June 26, 2008)
(‘‘Laizhou I’’), at 17–18. Pursuant to the
CIT’s remand instructions, we
reexamined the record and determined
that the best available information on
the record with which to value steel
scrap is HTS 7204.49.00 (other ferrous
waste and scrap (‘‘ferrous scrap’’)),
rather than HTS 7204.10.00 (waste and
scrap of cast iron (‘‘cast iron scrap’’))
which was used in the Final Results.
The Department released the Draft
Results of Redetermination Pursuant to
Court Remand to interested parties on
September 8, 2008. No party submitted
comments. On September 24, 2008, the
Department filed its final results of
redetermination pursuant to Laizhou I
with the CIT. See Final Results of
Redetermination Pursuant to Court
Remand, Court No. 06–00430
(September 24, 2008) (‘‘Final
Redetermination’’). In responding to the
CIT’s questions and reassessing the
record evidence, we have determined it
appropriate to value steel scrap using
HTS 7204.49.00 (ferrous scrap), instead
of the previously selected value, HTS
7204.10.00 (cast iron scrap). We note
that respondents reported purchasing
steel scrap that is captured under HTS
7204.49.00, and there is no record
evidence which contradicts this
assertion. The Department valued HTS
7204.49.00 using publicly available
Indian import statistics for the POR
from the World Trade Atlas (‘‘WTA’’).3
Thus, the Department revised, as
appropriate, the remanded steel scrap
surrogate value selection components of
the margin calculations of Longkou
Haimeng Machinery Co., Ltd. and
Hongfa Machinery (Dalian) Co., Ltd. The
Department also revised the ‘‘sample
rate’’ applicable to the non–mandatory
respondents separate from the PRC–
wide entity who are parties to this
litigation: Laizhou Auto Brake
Equipment Co., Ltd.; Laizhou City Luqi
Machinery Co., Ltd.; Laizhou Hongda
Auto Replacement Parts Co., Ltd.; and
Qingdao Gren (Group) Co.4 On
November 5, 2008, the CIT sustained all
aspects of the remand redetermination
made by the Department pursuant to the
CIT’s remand of the Final Results. See
Laizhou II.
On November 21, 2008, consistent
with the decision in Timken Co. v.
United States, 893 F.2d 337 (Fed. Cir.
1990), the Department notified the
public that the Court’s decision was not
in harmony with the Department’s final
results. See Brake Rotors Timken
Notice. See Brake Rotors from the
People’s Republic of China: Notice of
Court Decision Not In Harmony With
Final Results of Administrative Review,
73 FR 70618 (November 21, 2008) . No
party appealed the CIT’s decision. As
there is now a final and conclusive
court decision in this case, we are
amending our Final Results.
Amended Final Results
As the litigation in this case has
concluded, the Department is amending
the Final Results to reflect the results of
our remand determination. The revised
dumping margins for the order on brake
rotors in the amended final results are
as follows:
Exporter
Hongfa Machinery
(Dalian) Co. ...............
Laizhou Auto Brake
Equipment Company
Laizhou Luqi Machinery
Co., Ltd. ....................

The Department intends to issue
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) fifteen days after
publication of this notice, to revise the
cash deposit rates for the companies
listed above, effective as of the
publication date of this notice. In
addition, we will also instruct CBP to
liquidate all entries at the appropriate
rates.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended.
