Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony With Final Scope Ruling and Notice of Amended Final Scope Ruling Pursuant to Court Decision, 42491-42492 [2013-17041]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 16, 2013 / Notices arguments made in the application. The score aims to assess how the specific digital transition purpose fits with the unique need of the television station as it moves all of its equipment through the digital transition. This score is intended to capture, from the rural public’s standpoint, the necessity and usefulness of the proposed project. This scoring category will also recognize that at a specific time, some transition purposes are perceived to be more essential than others and that, over time, this perception changes. For example, during the transition from analog to digital transmitters, which concluded on June 12, 2009, a first time transition of a primary transmitter was the most essential project that could be undertaken for most stations and would have been scored accordingly. Now that all transmitters have completed the transition to digital, the focus may shift to some of the other eligible purposes such as translators, studio and production equipment, and master control equipment. But what equipment specifically is most essential may vary from station to station. For example, local production equipment can be a high priority especially if it produces an area’s only local news or if the station has been historically active in producing local programming. Repositioning a digital transmitter on a tower can also be a high priority in cases where the original analog coverage area was not adequately replicated after the transition. In addition to being a subjective score, the Critical Need score is also relative since each application is scored in comparison to other applications in the competition. These various factors explain why a similar application may receive a different Critical Need score in different years of this program. VI. Award Administration Information emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES A. Award Notices The Agency generally notifies applicants whose projects are selected for awards by faxing an award letter or emailing a PDF facsimile of the award letter. The Agency follows the award letter with a grant agreement that contains the terms and conditions for the grant. A copy of the standard agreement is posted on the RUS Web site at https://www.rurdev.usda.gov/ UTP_DTVResources.html. An applicant must execute and return the grant agreement, accompanied by any additional items required by the grant agreement. VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:49 Jul 15, 2013 Jkt 229001 B. Administrative and National Policy Requirements. The items listed in the program regulation at 7 CFR 1740.9(j) implement the appropriate administrative and national policy requirements. C. Reporting 1. All recipients of Public Television Station Digital Transition Grant Program financial assistance must provide semiannual performance activity reports to RUS until the project is complete and the funds are expended. A final performance report is also required; the final report may serve as the last semiannual report. The final report must include an evaluation of the success of the project. 2. Recipient and Subrecipient Reporting The applicant must have the necessary processes and systems in place to comply with the reporting requirements for first-tier sub-awards and executive compensation under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 in the event the applicant receives funding unless such applicant is exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to 2 CFR part 170, § 170.110(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 16, 2012, Valeo submitted a scope request claiming that two 
distinct types of automotive heating and cooling components are outside 
the scope of the Orders. The Department issued its Final Scope Ruling 
on Automotive Heating and Cooling Systems on October 31, 2012. In that 
ruling, the Department determined that Valeo's components for 
automotive heating/cooling systems are covered by the scope of the 
Orders.
    On November 26, 2012, Valeo filed a complaint with the CIT. On 
February 12, 2013, the Department asked that the Court grant a 
voluntary remand to allow the Department to re-examine its 
determination in the Final Scope Ruling on Automotive Heating and 
Cooling Systems. On February 13, 2013, the Court granted the 
Department's request for a voluntary remand. In the Remand Results, the 
Department determined that Valeo's components for automotive heating/
cooling systems, at the time of importation, contain all of the 
necessary parts required for integration into a larger system. The 
Department applied the ``subassemblies test'' developed in the Side 
Mount Valve Controls Scope Ruling,\4\ and determined that Valeo's 
components for automotive heating/cooling systems are subassemblies 
that constitute excluded ``finished goods,'' as described in the 
Orders, and are not covered by the scope. On June 20, 2013, the CIT 
sustained the Department's Remand Results.\5\

Ruling on Side Mount Valve Controls, dated October 26, 2012 (``SMVCs 
Scope Ruling''); see also the Department's memorandum regarding:

(CIT June 20, 2013) (judgment sustaining Remand Results).

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the 
CAFC has held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) 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 CIT's June 20, 2013, judgment in 
this case constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in 
harmony with the Department's Final Scope Ruling on Automotive Heating 
and Cooling Systems. This notice is published in fulfillment of the 
publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, the Department will 
continue the suspension of liquidation of components for automotive 
heating/cooling systems pending expiration of the period of appeal or, 
if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision.

Amended Final Scope Ruling

    Because there is now a final court decision with respect to this 
case, the Department is amending its final scope ruling and finds that 
the scope of the Orders does not cover Valeo's components for 
automotive heating/cooling systems. The Department will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') that the cash deposit rate will 
be zero percent for Valeo's components for automotive heating/cooling 
systems. In the event that the CIT's ruling is not appealed, or if 
appealed, upheld by the CAFC, the Department will instruct CBP to 
liquidate entries of Valeo's components for automotive heating/cooling 
system without regard to antidumping and/or countervailing duties, and 
to lift suspension of liquidation of such entries.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
516A(c)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: July 10, 2013.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
