SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 20, 2011, the Department published its Final Results in 
which it assigned Koehler a weighted-average dumping margin of 3.77 
percent.\3\ At the CIT, Koehler challenged the Department's 
determination to deny Koehler's claimed adjustment for certain home 
market rebates in the Final Results.\4\ Upon review, the CIT remanded 
the Final Results, holding that the Department's decision to disallow 
an adjustment to Koehler's normal value for its monthly home market 
rebates (monatsbonus) was unsupported by law because the governing 
regulations \5\ did not give the Department the discretion not to allow 
for such an adjustment.\6\ On remand, the Department reconsidered its 
findings and determined, under protest, that the court's interpretation 
of the relevant regulations resulted in no alternative but to alter the 
Final Results by granting the home market rebate price adjustment 
claimed by Koehler.\7\ The resulting recalculated rate for Koehler is 
0.03 percent, which is de minimis.\8\ On December 31, 2014, the CIT 
entered final judgment affirming the Remand Redetermination.\9\

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) 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 December 31, 2014 judgment 
affirming the Department's Remand Redetermination with respect to 
Koehler constitutes a final decision of the Court that is not in 
harmony with the Department's 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, we are amending the 
Final Results with respect to Koehler's margin for the period November 
20, 2008, through October 31, 2009. The revised weighted-average 
dumping margin is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                            Weighted-average margin
        Manufacturer/exporter                      (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Papierfabrik August Koehler AG.......  0.03 (de minimis.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. In the event the CIT's final judgment is not appealed, or if 
appealed, upheld by the CAFC, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection to liquidate unliquidated entries of the subject 
merchandise exported by Koehler during the POR without regard to duties 
because Koehler's revised rate, as determined in the Remand 
Redetermination, is de minimis.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Since the Final Results, the Department has established a new cash 
deposit rate for Koehler. Therefore, Koehler's cash deposit rate does 
not need to be updated as a result of these amended final results. The 
cash deposit rate for Koehler will remain the company-specific rate 
established for the most recent period during which the respondent was 
reviewed, which is 0.00 percent.\11\
