SUMMARY: On September 13, 2010, the
United States Court of International
Trade (‘‘CIT’’) sustained the remand
determination made by the Department
of Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’)
pursuant to the CIT’s remand of the
final determination in the antidumping
duty investigation on 1hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic
acid (‘‘HEDP’’) from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) and ordered
the case dismissed.1 This case arises out
of the Department’s final determination
in the antidumping investigation on
HEDP from the PRC.2 As there is now
a final and conclusive court decision in
this action with respect to Changzhou
Wujin Fine Chemical Factory Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Wujin Fine’’), the Department is
amending its Final Determination and
Antidumping Duty Order.

482–0679.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
11, 2009, the Department published its
Final Determination in which it
determined that HEDP from the PRC is
being, or is likely to be, sold in the
United States at less than fair value as
provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’).3
Separate rate respondent companies
Wujin Fine and Jiangsu Jianghai
Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (‘‘Jiangsu
Jianghai’’) timely challenged certain
aspects of the Final Determination to the
CIT. Among the issues raised before the
CIT was whether the Department
properly corroborated the adverse facts
available (‘‘AFA’’) rate upon which it
relied in calculating the separate rate.
On February 8, 2010, the CIT granted
the United States’ motion for a
voluntary remand to reconsider the
separate rate assigned to Wujin Fine and
Jiangsu Jianghai after examining
whether the Department corroborated
the AFA rate upon which it relied in

Co., Ltd. v. United States, No. 09–00216, Slip Op.

calculating the separate rate.4 In a
remand determination filed on May 3,
2010, the Department determined that
the AFA rate upon which the
Department relied in calculating the
separate rate was not corroborated in the
Final Determination.5 Consequently, the
Department calculated a revised
separate rate of 15.47 percent for Wujin
Fine and Jiangsu Jianghai relying on a
second AFA rate that did not require
corroboration.
On September 13, 2010, the CIT
sustained the Department’s remand
redetermination, and subsequently
dismissed the case.6 On November 12,
2010, Jiangsu Jianghai filed an appeal
with the United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit (‘‘CAFC’’) of the
CIT’s decision.7 Wujin Fine, however,
elected not to appeal the CIT’s decision.
Consistent with the decision of the
CAFC in Timken Co. v. United States,
893 F.2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990), the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of a court decision that
is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with the
Department’s final determination.8 The
Timken Notice incorrectly stated that,
‘‘In the event the CIT’s decision is
affirmed on appeal, the Department will
publish an amended final determination
revising the separate rate assigned to
Wujin Fine and Jiangsu Jianghai and
issue revised cash deposit instructions
to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.’’ 9 As noted above, only
Jiangsu Jianghai appealed the CIT’s
decision with the CAFC. Because Wujin
Fine did not appeal the CIT’s decision
and the period to appeal that decision
has expired, the CIT decision is final
and conclusive for Wujin Fine.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending its Final Determination and
Antidumping Duty Order.

appeal, the Department will publish an amended
final determination revising the separate rate
assigned to Jiangsu Jianghai and issue revised cash
deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’).
