On March 16, 2017, the Court affirmed the Department’s Final Third Redetermination in its entirety.9 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,10 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,11 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 March 16, 2017, judgment affirming the Final Third Redetermination constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in harmony with the Wind Towers Final Determination. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Amended Final Determination Because there is now a final court decision with respect to this litigation, the Department is amending the Wind Towers Final Determination with respect to the CS Wind Group’s dumping margin and cash deposit rate.

As a result of this amended final determination, in which the Department calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent for CS Wind Group, the Department is hereby excluding merchandise from the following producer/exporter chain from the antidumping duty order: Producer: CS Wind Group. Exporter: CS Wind Group. Accordingly, the Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to release any bonds or other security and refund cash deposits. This exclusion does not apply to merchandise produced by CS Wind Group and exported by any other company. Therefore, resellers of merchandise produced, or produced and exported by CS Wind Group, are not entitled to the exclusion. Similarly, the exclusion does not apply to merchandise produced by any other company and exported by CS Wind Group. We note, however, that pursuant to Timken, the suspension of liquidation must continue during the pendency of the appeals process. Thus, at this time we will instruct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation at a cash deposit rate of 0.00 percent for entries produced and exported by CS Wind Group until otherwise instructed and to release any bond or other security that CS Wind Group made pursuant to the Final Third Redetermination. If the CIT’s ruling is not appealed, or if appealed and upheld, the Department will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate entries produced and exported by CS Wind Group without regard to antidumping duties. As a result of the exclusion, the Department will not initiate any new administrative reviews of the antidumping duty order with respect to merchandise produced and exported by CS Wind Group. The review will continue with regard to merchandise produced by CS Wind Group and exported by another company or produced by any other company and exported by CS Wind Group. Finally, we note that, at this time, the Department remains enjoined by Court order from liquidating entries produced and/or exported by CS Wind Group during the period February 13, 2013, through January 31, 2014. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process. 8 See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Order, CS Wind Vietnam Co., Ltd. and CS Wind Corporation v.

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 March 16, 2017, judgment 
affirming the Final Third Redetermination constitutes a final decision 
of that court that is not in harmony with the Wind Towers Final 
Determination. This notice is published in fulfillment of the

    Because there is now a final court decision with respect to this

Partial Exclusion From the Antidumping Duty Order and Partial 
Discontinuation of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

    Pursuant to sections 735(c)(2) of the Act, ``the investigation 
shall be terminated upon publication of that negative determination'' 
and the Department shall ``terminate the suspension of liquidation'' 
and ``release any bond or other security, and refund any cash 
deposit.'' See Sections 735(c)(2)(A) and (B) of the Act. As a result of 
this amended final determination, in which the Department calculated a 
weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent for CS Wind Group, the 
Department is hereby excluding merchandise from the following producer/
exporter chain from the antidumping duty order:
    Producer: CS Wind Group.
    Exporter: CS Wind Group.
    Accordingly, the Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) to release any bonds or other security and refund cash 
deposits. This exclusion does not apply to merchandise produced by CS 
Wind Group and exported by any other company. Therefore, resellers of 
merchandise produced, or produced and exported by CS Wind Group, are 
not entitled to the exclusion. Similarly, the exclusion does not apply 
to merchandise produced by any other company and exported by CS Wind 
Group.
    We note, however, that pursuant to Timken, the suspension of 
liquidation must continue during the pendency of the appeals process. 
Thus, at this time we will instruct CBP to continue the suspension of 
liquidation at a cash deposit rate of 0.00 percent for entries produced 
and exported by CS Wind Group until otherwise instructed and to release 
any bond or other security that CS Wind Group made pursuant to the 
Final Third Redetermination. If the CIT's ruling is not appealed, or if 
appealed and upheld, the Department will instruct CBP to terminate the 
suspension of liquidation and to liquidate entries produced and 
exported by CS Wind Group without regard to antidumping duties. As a 
result of the exclusion, the Department will not initiate any new 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty order with respect to 
merchandise produced and exported by CS Wind Group. The review will 
continue with regard to merchandise produced by CS Wind Group and 
exported by another company or produced by any other company and 
exported by CS Wind Group.
    Finally, we note that, at this time, the Department remains 
enjoined by Court order from liquidating entries produced and/or 
exported by CS Wind Group during the period February 13, 2013, through 
January 31, 2014. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the 
terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process.
