SUMMARY: On February 29, 2016, the United States Court of International Trade (‘‘CIT’’ or ‘‘Court’’) sustained the Department of Commerce’s (‘‘Department’’) final results of redetermination 1 in which the Department determined, under protest, that four chests of Ethan Allen Operations, Inc. (‘‘Ethan Allen’’) are not subject to the scope of the WBF Order,2 pursuant to the CIT’s remand order in Ethan Allen Operations, Inc. v. United States, Consol.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:11 Mar 15, 2016 Jkt 238001 clarified by Diamond Sawblades,4 the Department is notifying the public that the Court’s final judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Department’s Ethan Allen Scope Ruling and is therefore amending its final scope ruling.5 DATES: Effective Date: March 10, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cara Lofaro, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC, 20230; telephone: (202) 482–5720. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 27, 2014 the Department issued the Ethan Allen Scope Ruling, in which it determined that Ethan Allen’s Marlene, Nadine, and Serpentine chests were subject to the WBF Order based on an analysis under 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1), and that the Vivica chest was also subject merchandise based on an analysis of the factors under both 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1) and (k)(2) (the ‘‘(k)(2) analysis’’). The Department then requested a voluntary remand to allow further notice to, and comment from, parties on its (k)(2) analysis of the Vivica chest, which the Court granted. In the Voluntary Remand Results, the Department responded to the arguments of the parties to the dispute and determined, again, based on a (k)(2) analysis, that Ethan Allen’s Vivica chest is subject to the scope of the WBF Order.6 On December 1, 2015, the Court issued its opinion on the Ethan Allen Scope Ruling, remanding each of the Department’s determinations back to the agency for further analysis,7 as discussed in further detail in the Final Remand Results.8 Specifically, the Court held that with respect to the Vivica chest, ‘‘because the (k)(1) factors are dispositive as to the Vivica chest and demonstrate that the Vivica chest is not within the scope of the WBF Order, the court does not proceed to an analysis of the (k)(2) factors and remands to Commerce to issue a ruling consistent 4 See Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (‘‘Diamond Sawblades’’). 5 See Memorandum to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, ‘‘Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of China: Scope Ruling on Ethan Allen Operations Inc.’s Chests’’ (May 27, 2014) (‘‘Ethan Allen Scope Ruling’’). 6 See Final Results of Voluntary Redetermination Pursuant To Court Order, dated November 26, 2014. (‘‘Voluntary Remand Results’’). 7 See Ethan Allen. 8 See Final Remand Results at 1–2. PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 with this opinion.’’ 9 The Court further held that with respect to the Marlene, Nadine, and Serpentine chests ‘‘because the (k)(1) factors are non-dispositive {in the Ethan Allen Scope Ruling the Department determined that the Marlene, Nadine, and Serpentine chests were covered by the WBF Order after analyzing the criteria listed in 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1)}, Commerce should evaluate the (k)(2) factors consistent with this decision,’’ in which the Court noted, in part, that ‘‘the proper inquiry should focus on the intended function of the product, i.e., whether it was intended and designed for use in the bedroom.’’ 10 Accordingly, the Department issued the Final Remand Results and, consistent with the Court’s analysis, determined that the Vivica chest is not subject to the WBF Order. Furthermore, in accordance with the Court’s holding that the Marlene, Nadine, and Serpentine chests should be evaluated using a (k)(2) analysis, Commerce conducted such an analysis and determined that ‘‘the weight of the record evidence supports a determination that the Nadine, Marlene, and Serpentine chests are not covered by the scope of the WBF Order.’’ 11 In Ethan Allen II, the Court sustained the Department’s Final Remand Results in its entirety.12 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken 13 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the CAFC held that, pursuant to sections 516A(c) and (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 February 29, 2016, judgment in Ethan Allen II, sustaining the Department’s decision in the Final Remand Results that the four chests at issue are not covered by the scope of the WBF Order, constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in harmony with the Ethan Allen Scope Ruling. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation of the chests at issue pending expiration of the period to appeal or, if appealed, 9 See Ethan Allen at 16. at 13. 11 See Final Remand Results at 14. 12 See Ethan Allen II. 13 See Timken, 893 F.2d at 341. 10 Id.
