Download as PDF 4254 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 26, 2016 / Notices ‘‘flaws in the Department’s analysis’’ 13 with respect to each of the six criteria comprising the Department’s substantial transformation test, the Court instructed the Department to ‘‘reach a new country of origin determination because the record lacked substantial evidence to support the Department’s determination that the TRBs which achieved final processing in Thailand were products of China for purposes of the antidumping duty order.’’ 14 Consistent with the CIT’s remand order, the Department under protest redetermined the country of origin for certain merchandise under review and revised the dumping margin calculations to exclude U.S. sales of TRBs further processed in Thailand.15 In particular, the Department revised its findings with respect to five of the six criteria in its substantial transformation test, consistent with the Court’s order. Along with the surrogate value changes sustained in CPZ 07–08 II, the Department calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin for CPZ of 6.24 percent.16 On December 21, 2015, the CIT issued its decision in CPZ 07–08 III, in which it sustained the Department’s Second Remand Redetermination. The Court concluded that though the Department made certain errors in construing the Court’s opinion, the Department reached an ultimate determination that is supported by substantial evidence on the record and that accords with a reasonable, rather than expansive, interpretation of the scope of the antidumping duty order.17 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 21, 2015, judgment in this case constitutes a final court decision mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 13 Id., 914 F. Supp. 2d at 1351. The Government subsequently moved for clarification regarding whether the Court in CPZ 07–08 II required the Department to find that TRBs were substantially transformed in Thailand, or whether the Court permitted the Department to make new findings under each of the substantial transformation criteria. On February 13, 2014, the Court responded to the Government’s motion, though the Court did not modify its previous ruling or provide further clarification. See Peer Bearing Company— Changshan v. United States, Court No. 10–00013, Slip Op. 14–15 (CIT 2014). 14 See CPZ 07–08 II, 914 F. Supp. 2d at 1356. 15 See Second Remand Redetermination at 33. 16 Id. 17 See CPZ 07–08 III, at 30.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Amended Final Results Export Trade Certificate of Review Because there is now a final court decision with respect to this case, the Department is amending the Final Results with respect to CPZ in this case. The revised weighted-average dumping margin for the June 1, 2007, through May 31, 2008, period of review is as follows: Exporter Final percent margin Peer Bearing Company— Changshan .............................. 6.24 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 exporters at the rate listed above. Cash Deposit Requirements In September 2008, Peer Bearing Company—Changshan was acquired by AB SKF, and the Department determined via a successor-in-interest analysis that the post-acquisition entity was not its successor in interest to the pre-acquisition exporter. As a consequence, Peer Bearing Company— Changshan effectively no longer exists, and its cash deposit rate does not need to be updated as a result of these amended final results.
