SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 17, 2013, as amended on July 18, 2013, the Department
published the AR2 Final Results. The Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers'
Coalition (DSMC) challenged certain aspects of the Department's AR2
Final Results. On September 23, 2014, the Court remanded the AR2 Final
Results to the Department to: (1) Reconsider the ATM Single Entity's
separate rate status; (2) explain where in the statute or other
authority the Department finds the non-ministerial discretion not to
determine if there is a pattern of differing export price or
constructed export price for the purposes of using an alternate
comparison methodology, regardless of whether an allegation is raised
to that effect; and (3) explain how the methodology for valuing Weihai
Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd.'s (Weihai) steel cores is
consistent with the first review, why Weihai's NME experience better
reflects Weihai's experience of purchasing cores even though it is
located in an NME country, and provide a full explanation of its

[[Page 2844]]

chosen methodology.\4\ On remand, the Department (1) denied the ATM
Single Entity a separate rate and revised the PRC-wide rate; (2)
explained that the Department's practice is to require targeted dumping
allegations before the preliminary results and, because DSMC filed the
targeted dumping allegation after the preliminary results, the targeted
dumping allegation in this review was untimely; and (3) explained the
Department's methodology for valuing Weihai's steel cores.\5\ On
October 21, 2015, the Court upheld our final remand redetermination for
this review in its entirety.\6\

Timken Notice

In its decision in Timken, 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 Court's final judgment affirming the final remand
redetermination constitutes the Court's final decision which is not in
harmony with the AR2 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 a final and conclusive court decision.

Amended Final Results of Review

Because there is now a final court decision, the Department is
amending the AR2 Final Results with respect to the PRC-wide entity,
which includes the ATM Single Entity, as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRC-Wide Entity (which includes the ATM Single Entity).... 82.05
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the event the Court's ruling is upheld by a final and conclusive
court decision, the Department will instruct the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries
of subject merchandise based on the revised rate the Department
determined and listed above.

Cash Deposit Requirements

Since the AR2 Remand, the Department has established a new cash
deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity, which includes the ATM Single
Entity.\7\ Therefore, the cash deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity
does not need to be updated as a result of these amended final results.
