when using the average-to-transaction comparison method. Accordingly, 
the Department recalculated SeAH's weighted-average dumping margin from 
4.99 percent to 3.87 percent. On September 25, 2013, the Court affirmed 
the Department's Remand Results.\5\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond 
Sawblades, the Federal Circuit 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 not ``in harmony'' with a 
Department determination, and must suspend liquidation of entries 
pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The Court's September 25, 
2013, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in 
harmony with the Department's Final Results. This notice is published 
in fulfillment of the publication requirement of Timken. The period of 
appeal expired, and the court decision is now final and conclusive.

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court decision with respect to this 
case, the Department is amending its Final Results with respect to 
SeAH's weighted-average dumping margin for this POR. The revised 
weighted-average dumping margin is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-
                  Producer or exporter                       average
                                                         dumping  margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SeAH Steel Corporation.................................           3.87%
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since the CIT's ruling is final and has not been appealed, the 
Department will instruct United State Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to liquidate entries of subject merchandise from SeAH during the 
POR based on the

[[Page 22479]]

revised assessment rates calculated by the Department in the Remand 
Results. Since the Final Results, the Department established a new cash 
deposit rate for SeAH. Therefore, the case deposit rate for SeAH will 
remain the company-specific rate established for the subsequent and 
most recent period for a completed administrative review during which 
SeAH was reviewed.\6\
