SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 9, 2011, the Department issued the Final Results.\6\ US 
Magnesium LLC (``USM'') challenged certain aspects of the Department's 
Final Results. On January 22, 2013, the Court remanded the Final 
Results to the Department: (1) To consider whether previously rejected 
factual information contained prima facie evidence of fraud by TMI in 
accordance with the factors outlined in Home Products,\7\ and (2) to 
explain its rationale for selecting Infobanc data based on substantial 
evidence on the record or, alternatively, to select a new surrogate 
value for truck freight.\8\ Additionally, the Department requested a 
voluntary remand to reconsider: (1) The selection of Hindalco 
Industries Limited's (``Hindalco'') financial statements for 
calculating surrogate financial ratios, and (2) USM's claim that the 
Department made errors when calculating the surrogate value for 
labor.\9\

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

    In accordance with TMI I, the Department opened the administrative 
record to accept the previously rejected factual information and 
concluded that this factual information did not demonstrate prima facie 
evidence of fraud by TMI.\10\ The Department also determined that the 
Infobanc data did not constitute the best information available to 
value truck freight and, instead, selected World Bank data for the 
Final Remand Results.\11\ Additionally, the Department selected Madras 
Aluminum Company's financial statements to value the surrogate 
financial ratios. Lastly, the Department corrected errors in its 
calculation of the labor rate.\12\ On May 21, 2015, the Court entered 
judgement sustaining the Final Remand Results entirely.

Timken Notice

    In Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the 
CAFC held that, pursuant to section

[[Page 32090]]

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 Court's 
judgment in TMI II sustaining the Final Remand Results 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 requirement of Timken.

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court decision, the Department is 
amending the Final Results with respect to the surrogate value for 
truck freight and financial ratios, in addition to correcting the 
errors in its calculation of the labor rate. The revised weighted-
average dumping margin for TMI during the period May 1, 2009, through 
April 30, 2010, is as follows:

                    Weighted-Average Dumping Margin:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average
                          Exporter                              dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TMI.........................................................       51.26
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 Court's ruling is not appealed or, if 
appealed, upheld by the CAFC, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated 
entries of subject merchandise exported by the above listed exporter at 
the rate listed above.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Since the Final Remand Results, the Department has established a 
new cash deposit rate for TMI.\13\ Therefore, the cash deposit rate for 
TMI does not need to be updated as a result of these amended final 
results.
