On September 7, 2012, the CAFC reversed the CIT’s judgment. The CAFC concluded that substantial evidence did not support the Department’s determination that the language of the SSPC orders is ambiguous and held that ‘‘the plain meaning of the orders regarding the 4.75 mm thickness is a reference to actual thickness of products subject to the orders.’’ 13 On January 4, 2013, the CIT issued a remand order directing the Department to take action in accordance with the CAFC’s decision in ArcelorMittal and to find that SSPC with an actual thickness of less than 4.75 mm is outside the scope of the AD and CVD Orders.14 Pursuant to that order, the Department construed the scope of the AD and CVD Orders so that SSPC from Belgium with an actual thickness of less than 4.75 mm is not subject to the AD and CVD Orders on SSPC, regardless of its nominal thickness.15 The CIT sustained the Department’s remand redetermination on March 26, 2013.16 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the CAFC has held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the 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 CAFC’s September 7, 2012, judgment in ArcelorMittal constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in harmony with the Department’s Final Scope Ruling.

Amended Final Scope Ruling Because there is now a final court decision with respect to SSPC with an actual thickness of less than 4.75 mm, the Department amends its Final Scope Ruling and now finds that the scope of the AD and CVD Orders excludes SSPC with an actual thickness of less than 4.75 mm, regardless of its nominal thickness. Accordingly, the Department will issue revised instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 516A(c)(1) of the Act.
