Timken Notice

    Consistent with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals 
for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F. 
2d 337 (CAFC 1990) (Timken), as clarified by Diamond Sawblades Mfrs.

Department must publish a notice of a court decision that is not ``in 
harmony'' with a Department determination and must suspend liquidation 
of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The CIT's April 26, 
2011, judgment sustaining the Department's Remand Results with respect 
to the Rubicon Group constitutes a final decision of that court that is 
not in harmony with the Departments Final Results. This notice is 
published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. 
Accordingly, the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation 
of the subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of 
appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision.

Rubicon Group, the Department amends its Final Results, and the 
weighted-average margin for the Rubicon Group for the period February 
1, 2006, through January 31, 2007, is 3.00 percent.
    In the event the CIT's ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, 
upheld by the CAFC, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on entries of the 
subject merchandise exported during the POR from the Rubicon Group 
based on the revised assessment rates calculated by the Department.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
516A(c)(1), 751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 2, 2011.
