Department of Commerce's (``Department'') final results of the remand 
redetermination \1\ relating to the thirteenth administrative review of

flat products (``CORE'') from the Republic of Korea (``Korea''), 
pursuant to the CIT's remand order in Union Steel v. United States, 753 
F. Supp. 2d 1317 (CIT 2011) (``Union II''). 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 (Fed. Cir. 
1990) (``Timken''), as clarified by Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coalition

Sawblades''), the Department is notifying the public that the final CIT 
judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Department's final 
results of administrative review and is amending its final results of 
the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on CORE from 
Korea covering the period of review (``POR'') of August 1, 2005 through 
July 31, 2006, with respect to the weighted-average dumping margin 
assigned to Union Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (``Union'').

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 August 8, 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. Because the antidumping duty order on CORE from Korea 
has been revoked effective February 14, 2012, cash deposits are no 
longer in effect.\9\
