Download as PDF 2844 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2016 / Notices 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.

All requests for administrative reviews on the 44 companies listed in the Appendix were withdrawn.6 Accordingly, we are rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these entities, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). This administrative review will continue with respect to Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd. and Hong Kong Wells Ltd. Assessment The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice. Notification to Importers This notice serves as the only reminder to importers for whom this review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping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 this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. 5 See Letter to the Secretary of Commerce from Petitioner ‘‘Seventh Administrative Review of Steel Wire Garment Hangers from China—Petitioner’s Withdrawal of Review Request’’ (December 16, 2015). 6 As stated in Change in Practice in NME Reviews, the Department will no longer consider the nonmarket economy (‘‘NME’’) entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 15, 2013, the Department published the AR1 Final
Results. The Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers' Coalition challenged the
Department's decisions to grant the ATM Single Entity a separate rate
and to not collapse the state-owned enterprise, China Iron & Steel
Research Institute, within the ATM Single Entity.\4\ The Department
requested a voluntary remand to reconsider the separate rate
eligibility for the ATM Single Entity in this review and the Court
granted the Department's request.\5\ On remand, the Department
determined that the ATM Single Entity was ineligible for a separate
rate and also revised the PRC-wide rate.\6\ On September 23, 2015, the
Court entered judgment sustaining the final remand redetermination for
this review in its entirety.\7\

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

[[Page 2845]]

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 AR1 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 AR1 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).... 82.12
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 AR1 Remand, the Department has established a new cash
deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity, which includes the ATM Single
Entity.\8\ Therefore, the cash deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity
does not need to be updated as a result of these amended final results.
