Results 12–13.2 The rate of 453.79
percent was originally calculated in
Final Results 10–11 for respondent
Baoding Mantong Fine Chemistry Co.,
Ltd. (Baoding Mantong).3 Baoding
Mantong challenged that rate in Baoding
Mantong Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd. v.
United States, Consol. Ct. No. 12–00362.
In that separate proceeding, this Court
twice remanded the calculation of the
rate to Commerce, sustaining
Commerce’s second remand
redetermination, which reduced
Baoding Mantong’s calculated margin to
0.00 percent for the Final Results 10–
11.4
During the 2015/2016 administrative
review, Pharm-Rx Chemical Corporation
(Pharm-Rx) challenged Commerce’s
application of the rate of 453.79 percent
to the China-wide entity in Final Results
15–16.5 However, Commerce declined
to change the rate, as the litigation
concerning Final Results 10–11 had not
yet resulted in a final judgment, and the
China-wide entity was not under review
for the 2015/2016 period.6
In light of the final judgment issued
in Baoding Mantong, the Court granted
Commerce’s motion for a voluntary
remand to reevaluate its application of
the China-wide entity rate to Huayang
Chemical in Final Results 15–16. In the
Final Results of Redetermination,
Commerce selected as the China-wide
rate for the 2015/2016 review review the
China-wide rate stemming from the
underlying less-than-fair-value
investigation.7 This rate, set at 155.89
percent, had been in effect prior to the
China-wide rate being set at 453.79
percent in Final Results 12–13. On
September 7, 2018, the Court sustained
the Final Results of Redetermination.8

earlier decision, Baoding Mantong Fine Chemistry
Co., Ltd., 41 CIT ___, 222 F. Supp. 3d 1231 (Ct. Int’l
Trade 2017), the Court sustained an initial revision
by Commerce of Baoding Mantong’s rate to 64.97
percent.

Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,9 as clarified
by Diamond Sawblades,10 the Court of
Appeals for the Federal 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 CIT’s September 7, 2018, final
judgment sustaining the Final Results of
Redetermination constitutes a final
decision of the Court that is not in
harmony with Final Results 15–16. This
notice is published in fulfillment of the
Timken publication requirements.
Accordingly, Commerce will continue
the suspension of liquidation of the
subject merchandise pending a final and
conclusive court decision.
Amended Final Results of Review
Because there is now a final court
decision, Commerce is amending Final
Results 15–16 with respect to the Chinawide rate previously assigned to the
exporter. Based on the Final Results of
Redetermination, as sustained by the
CIT, the revised China-wide rate, for the
period March 1, 2015, through February
28, 2016, is as follows:
Producer or exporter
Weightedaverage
dumping
margin
(percent)
China-wide Entity ..................
155.89
In the event the Court’s ruling is not
appealed or, if appealed, upheld by a
final and conclusive court decision,
Commerce will instruct the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on
unliquidated entries of subject
merchandise with respect to Pharm-Rx.
Cash Deposit Requirements
As the China-wide entity’s cash
deposit rate has not been subject to
subsequent administrative reviews,
Commerce will issue revised cash
deposit instructions to CBP adjusting
the rate for the China-wide entity to
155.89 percent, effective September 17,
2018.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 516A(e)(1),
751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Title I of TDA 2000 provides for dutyand quota-free treatment for certain
textile and apparel articles imported
from designated beneficiary subSaharan African countries. Section
112(b)(3) of TDA 2000 provides dutyand quota-free treatment for apparel
articles wholly assembled in one or
more beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries from fabric wholly formed in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:50 Sep 28, 2018
Jkt 247001
one or more beneficiary sub-Saharan
African countries from yarn originating
in the United States or one or more
beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries. This preferential treatment is
also available for apparel articles
assembled in one or more lesserdeveloped beneficiary sub-Saharan
African countries, regardless of the
country of origin of the fabric used to
make such articles, subject to
quantitative limitation. Public Law 114–
27 extended this special rule for lesserdeveloped countries through September
30, 2025.
The AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004
provides that the quantitative limitation
for the twelve-month period beginning
October 1, 2018 will be an amount not
to exceed 7 percent of the aggregate
square meter equivalents of all apparel
articles imported into the United States
in the preceding 12-month period for
which data are available. See Section
112(b)(3)(A)(ii)(I) of TDA 2000, as
amended by Section 7(b)(2)(B) of the
AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004. Of this
overall amount, apparel imported under
the special rule for lesser-developed
countries is limited to an amount not to
exceed 3.5 percent of all apparel articles
imported into the United States in the
preceding 12-month period. See Section
112(b)(3)(B)(ii)(II) of TDA 2000, as
amended by Section 6002(a)(3) of
TRHCA 2006. The Annex to Presidential
Proclamation 7350 of October 2, 2000
directed CITA to publish the aggregate
quantity of imports allowed during each
12-month period in the Federal
Register. For the one-year period,
beginning on October 1, 2018, and
extending through September 30, 2019,
the aggregate quantity of imports
eligible for preferential treatment under
these provisions is 2,048,357,135 square
meters equivalent. Of this amount,
1,024,178,567 square meters equivalent
is available to apparel articles imported
under the special rule for lesserdeveloped countries. Apparel articles
entered in excess of these quantities will
be subject to otherwise applicable
tariffs.
These quantities are calculated using
the aggregate square meter equivalents
of all apparel articles imported into the
United States, derived from the set of
Harmonized System lines listed in the
Annex to the World Trade Organization
Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
(ATC), and the conversion factors for
units of measure into square meter
