Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Expedited Review, 34115-34116 [2018-15436]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 139 / Thursday, July 19, 2018 / Notices Circuit 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 July 9, 2018, final judgment sustaining Commerce’s Remand Redetermination constitutes a final decision of the Court that is not in harmony with Commerce’s Final Determination. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, Commerce 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. We have not amended the Final Determination because reclassifying UTP–JA’s cost of caps as packing expenses did not result in a change to the weighted-average dumping margin calculated for Universal in the Final Determination, which remains 5.58 percent. Notification to Interested Parties This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 516A(c)(1) and (e), and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: July 13, 2018.
