The products subject to this investigation
are bands made of vulcanized rubber, with a
flat length, as actually measured end-to-end
by the band lying flat, no less than 1⁄2 inch
and no greater than 10 inches; with a width,
which measures the dimension
perpendicular to the length, actually of at
least 3/64 inch and no greater than 2 inches;
and a wall thickness actually from 0.020 inch

Certain Steel Nails From the People’s

Decision Not in Harmony With Final
Results of Administrative Review and
Notice of Amended Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review

SUMMARY: On March 22, 2018, the
United States Court of International
Trade (the Court) issued its final
judgment in Itochu Building Products
Co., Inc., et al. v. United States, Consol.
Court No. 12–00065, sustaining the U.S.
Department of Commerce’s (Commerce)
final remand results in the second
administrative review of certain steel
nails from the People’s Republic of
China (China). Commerce is notifying
the public that the final judgment in this
case is not in harmony with Commerce’s
final results of the administrative
review, covering the period of review
(POR) August 1, 2009, through July 31,
2010, and that Commerce is amending
the final results with respect to the
dumping margins assigned to Tianjin
Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd. (Jinchi)
and Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli
Industry & Business Co. (Hongli).
Because Jinchi’s and Hongli’s margins
changed, the margin for those
companies not individually examined
but receiving a separate rate also
changed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
On March 1, 2012, Commerce issued
the Final Results, in which it
determined a weight-averaged dumping
margin of 47.76 percent for Jinchi, 78.27
percent for Hongli, and 19.30 percent
E:\FR\FM\09JYN1.SGM
09JYN1
31732
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 131 / Monday, July 9, 2018 / Notices
for the separate rate companies.1 Also,
on April 24, 2012, Commerce issued the
Amended Final Results, however, the
weighted-average dumping margins did
not change.2 On June 22, 2017, the
Court remanded Commerce’s Final
Results and Amended Final Results and
instructed Commerce to reconsider each
of the following issues: (1) The selection
of surrogate values for steel plate and
surrogate financial ratios; (2) its
application of adverse facts available to
Jinchi’s missing factors of production;
and (3) the Court’s questions and MidContinent Nail Corporation (the
petitioner)’s responses regarding the
withdrawal of review requests in this
administrative review.3 The Court also
granted Commerce’s request for
voluntary remand to reconsider its use
of a specific financial statement.4
On October 20, 2017, Commerce filed
the AR2 Remand with the Court.5
Commerce maintained its selection of
financial statements for calculating the
surrogate financial ratios and selected,
under protest, a different surrogate
value for steel plate.6 Additionally,
under protest, Commerce recalculated
Jinchi’s dumping margin by applying
neutral facts available to the missing
factors of production for hard-cut
masonry nails produced by an
unaffiliated supplier.7 Moreover,
Commerce examined the petitioner’s
responses to the Court’s questions.8 As
a result, there are calculation changes
due to selecting a different surrogate
value for steel plate and applying
neutral facts available to the missing
factors of production for hard-cut
masonry nails in Jinchi’s dumping
margin. Thus, the resulting antidumping
margin for Hongli is 36.23 percent, for
Jinchi is 53.47 percent, and for the
Separate Rate Applicants 9 is 14.48
percent.10 There is no change to the
dumping margin for The Stanley Works
(Langfang) Fastening Systems Co., Ltd.
and Stanley Black & Decker, Inc./
Stanley Fastening Systems, LP
(Stanley).11 On March 22, 2018, the
Court sustained the AR2 Remand.12
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at
341,13 as clarified by Diamond
Sawblades,14 the Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit (CAFC) held that,
pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
Commerce must publish a notice of a
court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’
with a Commerce determination and
must suspend liquidation of entries
pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision.
The Court’s March 22, 2018, judgment
sustaining the AR2 Remand constitutes
a final decision of the Court that is not
in harmony with Commerce’s Amended
Final Results. This notice is published
in fulfillment of the publication
requirement of Timken.
Amended Final Results
Because there is now a final court
decision, Commerce is amending the
Amended Final Results with respect to
Jinchi, Hongli, and the Separate-Rate
Applicants. The revised weightedaverage dumping margins for these
exporters during the period August 1,
2009, through July 31, 2010, are as
follows:

Certain Steel Nails From the People's Republic of China: Notice
of Court Decision Not in Harmony With Final Results of Administrative
Review and Notice of Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 22, 2018, the United States Court of International
Trade (the Court) issued its final judgment in Itochu Building Products
Co., Inc., et al. v. United States, Consol. Court No. 12-00065,
sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce's (Commerce) final remand
results in the second administrative review of certain steel nails from
the People's Republic of China (China). Commerce is notifying the
public that the final judgment in this case is not in harmony with
Commerce's final results of the administrative review, covering the
period of review (POR) August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010, and that
Commerce is amending the final results with respect to the dumping
margins assigned to Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd. (Jinchi)
and Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry & Business Co. (Hongli).
Because Jinchi's and Hongli's margins changed, the margin for those
companies not individually examined but receiving a separate rate also
changed.
DATES: Applicable April 2, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 1, 2012, Commerce issued the Final Results, in which it
determined a weight-averaged dumping margin of 47.76 percent for
Jinchi, 78.27 percent for Hongli, and 19.30 percent
[[Page 31732]]
for the separate rate companies.\1\ Also, on April 24, 2012, Commerce
issued the Amended Final Results, however, the weighted-average dumping
margins did not change.\2\ On June 22, 2017, the Court remanded
Commerce's Final Results and Amended Final Results and instructed
Commerce to reconsider each of the following issues: (1) The selection
of surrogate values for steel plate and surrogate financial ratios; (2)
its application of adverse facts available to Jinchi's missing factors
of production; and (3) the Court's questions and Mid-Continent Nail
Corporation (the petitioner)'s responses regarding the withdrawal of
review requests in this administrative review.\3\ The Court also
granted Commerce's request for voluntary remand to reconsider its use
of a specific financial statement.\4\

On October 20, 2017, Commerce filed the AR2 Remand with the
Court.\5\ Commerce maintained its selection of financial statements for
calculating the surrogate financial ratios and selected, under protest,
a different surrogate value for steel plate.\6\ Additionally, under
protest, Commerce recalculated Jinchi's dumping margin by applying
neutral facts available to the missing factors of production for hard-
cut masonry nails produced by an unaffiliated supplier.\7\ Moreover,
Commerce examined the petitioner's responses to the Court's
questions.\8\ As a result, there are calculation changes due to
selecting a different surrogate value for steel plate and applying
neutral facts available to the missing factors of production for hard-
cut masonry nails in Jinchi's dumping margin. Thus, the resulting
antidumping margin for Hongli is 36.23 percent, for Jinchi is 53.47

Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341,\13\ as clarified by
Diamond Sawblades,\14\ the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
(CAFC) held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of a court
decision that is not ``in harmony'' with a Commerce determination and
must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court
decision. The Court's March 22, 2018, judgment sustaining the AR2
Remand constitutes a final decision of the Court that is not in harmony
with Commerce's Amended Final Results. This notice is published in
fulfillment of the publication requirement of Timken.
