AGENCY: On May 20, 2014, the United States Court of International Trade (‘‘CIT’’) sustained the Department of Commerce’s (‘‘the Department’’) final results of redetermination pursuant to remand of the 2008–2009 antidumping duty administrative review of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘Remand tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:05 Jun 03, 2014 Jkt 232001 Redetermination’’).1 Consistent with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (‘‘CAFC’’) in Timken Co. v.

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.

Department'') final results of redetermination pursuant to remand of 
the 2008-2009 antidumping duty administrative review of certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp from the People's Republic of China (``Remand 
Redetermination'').\1\ 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 v. United States, 626 
F.3d 1374 (CAFC 2010) (``Diamond Sawblades''), the Department is

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

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

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 Hilltop. 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\

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 PRC-wide entity was reviewed.\7\
