United States, 893 F.2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (‘‘Timken’’), as clarified by Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (CAFC 2010) (‘‘Diamond Sawblades’’), the Department is notifying the public that the final judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Department’s final results and is amending the final results of the administrative review of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) with respect to the margin assigned to Hilltop International (‘‘Hilltop’’) covering the period of review (‘‘POR’’) February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009.2 DATES: Effective Date: May 30, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 19, 2013, the CIT remanded this case to the Department for reconsideration 3 pursuant to the order of the CAFC in Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee v. United States, No. 2012–1416 (Fed. Cir. 2013), which granted the Department’s request for a voluntary remand in this matter to allow for reconsideration in light of information discovered in the sixth administrative review of this proceeding.4 Pursuant to the Remand Order, we reconsidered our determination in this review and found that Hilltop provided false and incomplete information regarding its affiliates and that none of its submissions could be relied upon. Accordingly, we found that Hilltop failed to rebut the presumption that it is part of the PRC-wide entity and applied total adverse facts available (‘‘AFA’’) to the PRC-wide entity, which includes 1 See Results Of Redetermination Pursuant To Court Remand issued by the Department of Commerce (November 4, 2013), available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/remands/. 2 See Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the People’s Republic of China: Final Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 49460 (August 13, 2010) (‘‘Final Results’’). 3 See Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee v.

As AFA, we applied a dumping margin of 112.81 percent, which is the highest rate from any segment of the proceeding and the current PRC-wide rate, and reevaluated that margin to ensure that it continues to be reliable and have probative value.5 The CIT sustained the Department’s Remand Redetermination on May 20, 2014, making the effective date of this notice May 30, 2014.6 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the CAFC held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) 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 May 20, 2014, judgment sustaining the Department’s Remand Redetermination with respect to Hilltop constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in harmony with the Department’s Final Results. 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 the expiration of the period of appeal, or if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision. The cash deposit rate will remain the rate established for the most recent period during which the PRCwide entity was reviewed.7 Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court decision, we are amending the Final Results with respect to Hilltop’s margin for the period February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009. The revised weightedaverage dumping margin is as follows: Exporter Percent margin PRC-Wide Entity 8 ...................... 112.81 In the event the CIT’s ruling is not appealed, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on entries during the POR of the subject merchandise exported by Hilltop using 5 See Remand Redetermination.
