amount of duties due on the three
entries covered by the litigation based
on 102.74 percent and issue instructions
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) requiring the total amount of
duties due to be assessed on the
remaining two entries; and (3) issue
instructions to CBP establishing the
future cash deposit rate for Tata at the
rate of 102.74 percent, which will
remain in place until it is changed by
the Department in a future
administrative review of the firm with
respect to the countervailing duty order
on HRCS from India.
Amended Final Results
In accordance with the CIT’s order,
the countervailing duty rate for Tata for
the period January 1, 2008, through
