With respect to Hubei Nature, the new shipper respondent, the Department established a combination cash deposit rate for this company consistent with its practice as follows: (1) For subject merchandise produced and exported by Hubei Nature, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for Hubei Nature in the final results of the NSR; (2) for subject merchandise exported by Hubei Nature, but not produced by Hubei Nature, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for subject merchandise produced by Hubei Nature but not exported by Hubei Nature, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during these PORs. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. We are issuing and publishing the preliminary results of these reviews in accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(2)(B)(iv), 751(a)(3), 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h), 351.214 and 351.221(b)(4).

SUMMARY: On July 22, 2014, the United States Court of International Trade (‘‘CIT’’) sustained the Department of Commerce’s (‘‘the Department’’) results of redetermination, pursuant to the CIT’s remand order, in Dupont Teijin Films v. United States, 997 F. Supp. 2d 1338 (CIT 2014).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 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (‘‘Diamond Sawblades’’), the Department is notifying the public that the final judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Department’s PET Film Final Results 2 and is amending the final results with respect to the margins assigned to Tianjin Wanhua Co., Ltd., Sichuan Dongfang Insulating Material Co., Ltd., Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co., Ltd., and Shaoxing Xiangyu Green Packing Co., Ltd. (‘‘Respondents’’) for the period of review (‘‘POR’’) November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010. Effective Date: August 1, 2014.

PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 On March 12, 2012, the Department published the PET Film Final Results. Domestic producers Dupont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc., SKC, Inc., and Toray Plastics (America), Inc. appealed the PET Film Final Results to the CIT, and on February 7, 2013, the CIT issued its first remand order in this case concerning the Department’s selection of its surrogate country.3 On August 21, 2013, the CIT issued its second remand and ordered the Department to reconsider its surrogate country selection with the benefit of 2009 per-capita gross national income data.4 Pursuant to the CIT’s remand instructions, the Department, under protest, selected South Africa as the primary surrogate country for calculating normal value.5 The CIT sustained the Department’s PET Film Final Remand on July 22, 2014,6 and, as a result, the Respondents’ dumping margins changed. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [FR Doc. 2014–23793 Filed 10–3–14; 8:45 am] Sfmt 4703 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the CAFC has 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 that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Department determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s July 22, 2014, judgment sustaining the PET Film Final Remand constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in harmony with the PET Film Final Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court decision with respect to the PET Film Final Results, the revised dumping margins are as follows: Exporter Tianjin Wanhua Co., Ltd. ............

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond 
Sawblades, the CAFC has 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 that is not ``in harmony'' with a 
Department determination and must suspend liquidation of entries 
pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The CIT's July 22, 2014, 
judgment sustaining the PET Film Final Remand constitutes a final 
decision of that court that is not in harmony with the PET Film Final 
Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication 
requirements of Timken.

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court decision with respect to the PET 
Film Final Results, the revised dumping margins are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          Exporter                              margin
                                                               (percent)

[[Page 60137]]

 
Shaoxing Xiangyu Green Packing Co., Ltd.....................       19.35
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because no party appealed the CIT's decision before the period of 
appeal expired on September 22, 2014, the CIT's decision is now final 
and conclusive. Accordingly, 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 the Respondents using 
the revised assessment rates calculated by the Department in the PET 
Film Final Remand.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Since the PET Film Final Results, the Department has established a 
new cash deposit rate for the Respondents.\7\ Therefore, the 
Respondents' cash deposit rates do not need to be updated as a result 
of these amended final results. The cash deposit rate for the 
Respondents will remain the rate established for the subsequent and 
most-recent period during which the Respondents were reviewed.
