SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Background In the less-than-fair-value (‘‘LTFV’’) investigation, the Department determined that mandatory respondent AT&M was eligible for a separate rate, and calculated a separate estimated weighted-average dumping margin for it.6 Petitioner, the Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers’ Coalition (‘‘DSMC’’), challenged the Department’s separaterate determination in court.7 Concurrently, the PRC challenged the Department’s use of its ‘‘zeroing’’ methodology in calculating dumping margins in certain LTFV investigations before the World Trade Organization’s (‘‘WTO’’) Dispute Settlement Body.8 Effective March 22, 2013, in response to the dispute settlement panel’s findings and instructions by the United States Trade Representative (‘‘USTR’’) to implement the Department’s determination under Section 129 of the URAA, the Department recalculated AT&M’s weighted-average dumping margin from the LTFV investigation without the use of zeroing.9 Removing 5 Who, was stated in the Implemented PRC Section 129 Determination was, collectively with Beijing Gang Yan Diamond Product Company and Yichang HXF Circular Saw Industrial Co., Ltd., a single entity. 6 See Implemented PRC Section 129 Determination at 29306. 7 See Advanced Technology & Materials Co. v.

The DSMC challenged this determination before the Court. Additionally, in the ongoing litigation relating to the Department’s separate-rate determination in the LTFV investigation, the Department reconsidered AT&M’s separate rate eligibility and determined that AT&M had not rebutted the presumption of state control, and thus, was not eligible for a separate rate.11 The rate applicable to the PRC-wide entity in the LTFV investigation was based on information in the petition and did not involve zeroing.12 On October 11, 2013, the Court sustained the Department’s redetermination that AT&M failed to rebut the presumption of state control, and therefore, was not eligible for a separate rate.13 On October 24, 2014, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (‘‘CAFC’’) affirmed the Court’s decision.14 In light of AT&M’s ineligibility for a separate rate in the LTFV investigation, and the inapplicability of the separaterate applied to AT&M in the LTFV investigation which served as the basis of the Department’s Implemented PRC Section 129 determination, in the litigation concerning the Implemented PRC Section 129 determination, the United States moved for a voluntary remand to reconsider its partial revocation of the dumping order. The Court granted the United States’ motion.15 Determinations Under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act and Partial Revocation of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 78 FR 18958, 18960 (March 28, 2013). 10 Id. 11 See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Remand Order Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China, Advanced Tech. & Material Co. v.

The Court’s May 11, 2016, judgment sustaining the Final Section 129 Remand constitutes a final decision of the Court that is not in harmony with the Department’s Implemented PRC Section 129 Determination.18 This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirement of Timken. Reinstatement of the Order In the Final Section 129 Remand, sustained by the Court,19 the Department determined that reinstatement of the order with regard to AT&M was appropriate.20 Accordingly, consistent with the Final Section 129 Remand and the decision by the Court sustaining that redetermination, the Department hereby reinstates the order as it applies to AT&M. Consistent with the Department’s stated intention in the Final Section 129 Remand, this reinstatement of the order with regard to AT&M is effective as of March 22, 2013, which was the effective date of the partial revocation.21 Cash Deposit Requirements The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to require cash deposits at 82.05 percent, the current rate established for the PRCwide entity.22 Pursuant to the Court’s finding that the Department should have issued those instructions upon filing the redetermination with the Court, those instructions will be effective as of December 1, 2015, the date the remand 16 See Final Section 129 Remand.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In the less-than-fair-value (``LTFV'') investigation, the 
Department determined that mandatory respondent AT&M was eligible for a 
separate rate, and calculated a separate estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin for it.\6\ Petitioner, the Diamond Sawblades 
Manufacturers' Coalition (``DSMC''), challenged the Department's 
separate-rate determination in court.\7\ Concurrently, the PRC 
challenged the Department's use of its ``zeroing'' methodology in 
calculating dumping margins in certain LTFV investigations before the 
World Trade Organization's (``WTO'') Dispute Settlement Body.\8\ 
Effective March 22, 2013, in response to the dispute settlement panel's 
findings and instructions by the United States Trade Representative 
(``USTR'') to implement the Department's determination under Section 
129 of the URAA, the Department recalculated AT&M's weighted-average 
dumping margin from the LTFV investigation without the use of 
zeroing.\9\ Removing the zeroing methodology resulted in AT&M receiving 
a calculated dumping margin of zero.\10\ Consequently, the Department 
partially revoked the order with respect to AT&M. The DSMC challenged 
this determination before the Court. Additionally, in the ongoing 
litigation relating to the Department's separate-rate determination in 
the LTFV investigation, the Department reconsidered AT&M's separate 
rate eligibility and determined that AT&M had not rebutted the 
presumption of state control, and thus, was not eligible for a separate 
rate.\11\ The rate applicable to the PRC-wide entity in the LTFV 
investigation was based on information in the petition and did not 
involve zeroing.\12\ On October 11, 2013, the Court sustained the 
Department's redetermination that AT&M failed to rebut the presumption 
of state control, and therefore, was not eligible for a separate 
rate.\13\ On October 24, 2014, the Court of Appeals for the Federal 
Circuit (``CAFC'') affirmed the Court's decision.\14\

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

    In light of AT&M's ineligibility for a separate rate in the LTFV 
investigation, and the inapplicability of the separate-rate applied to 
AT&M in the LTFV investigation which served as the basis of the 
Department's Implemented PRC Section 129 determination, in the 
litigation concerning the Implemented PRC Section 129 determination, 
the United States moved for a voluntary remand to reconsider its 
partial revocation of the dumping order. The Court granted the United

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 Court's May 11, 2016, 
judgment sustaining the Final Section 129 Remand constitutes a final 
decision of the Court that is not in harmony with the Department's 
Implemented PRC Section 129 Determination.\18\ This notice is published 
in fulfillment of the publication requirement of Timken.
