Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the 
CAFC 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 24, 2013, judgment in 
this case constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in 
harmony with the Department's final results of the administrative 
review. 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 expiration 
of the period of appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive 
court decision.

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court decision with respect to this 
case, the Department is amending its Final Results and Amended Final 
Results with respect to the Respondents' weighted-average dumping 
margins for the period November 1, 2002 through October 31, 2003. The 
revised weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

                                                        margin (percent)

Sunny Import & Export Co., Ltd........................              0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the event that the CIT's ruling is not appealed, or if appealed, 
upheld by the CAFC, because the above margins are zero, the Department 
will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise exported 
by the Respondents without regard to dumping duties.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
516A(e)(1), 751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
