SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On June 2, 2016, Commerce published its Final Determination, and on July 25, 2016, Commerce published its Amended Final Determination and Order concerning the antidumping investigation of CORE from Taiwan.1 The plaintiffs in this litigation, consisting of the two-mandatory respondents, Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Prosperity) and Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Phui) timely filed complaints with the Court challenging certain aspects of Commerce’s investigation. The petitioners in the investigation, AK Steel Corporation, Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics, Inc., California Steel Industries, Inc., ArcelorMittal USA LLC, and United States Steel Corporation intervened as defendant-intervenors. On January 23, 2018, the Court remanded three aspects of Commerce’s findings, in Prosperity Tieh I.2 First, the Court held that Commerce’s determination to deny Yieh Phui’s and Synn Industrial Co., Ltd.’s post-sale rebate adjustments ‘‘violated its own regulations,’’ and remanded to Commerce to ‘‘correct this error.’’ 3 Second, the Court remanded Commerce’s determination to collapse Prosperity, Yieh Phui, and Synn pursuant to its analysis under 19 CFR 351.401(f), because ‘‘the collapsing decision was based on erroneous findings of fact.’’ 4 Third, the Court remanded Commerce’s application of partial adverse facts available to 1 Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from Taiwan: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part, 81 FR 35313 (June 2, 2016), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM) (Final Determination), as amended by Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from India, Italy, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Determination for India and Taiwan, and Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 48390 (July 25, 2016) (Amended Final Determination and Order). 2 See Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd. et al. v.

As such, Commerce has published this notice in fulfillment of the publication requirement of Timken. Amended Final Determination and Amended Order Because there is now a final court decision, Commerce is amending the Final Determination and Amended Final Determination and Order with respect to the weighted-average dumping margin for the Yieh Phui/ Prosperity/Synn entity. Furthermore, in the Amended Final Determination and Order, and in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, for companies not individually investigated, we applied an ‘‘all-others’’ rate of 10.34 percent.14 This rate was determined based on assigning the Yieh Phui/ Prosperity/Synn entity’s rate as the allothers rate.15 As noted above, the Yieh Phui/Prosperity/Synn’s amended weighted-average dumping margin is now 3.66 percent. Therefore, for purposes of this amended Final Determination, Commerce will instruct CBP that the all-others rate is to be amended to 3.66 percent.16 Accordingly, the revised weightedaverage dumping margin for the collapsed Yieh Phui/Prosperity/Synn entity and for all-others is as follows: Producer Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd., Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd., and Synn Industrial Co., Ltd ........................................... All-Others .................................... Weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) 3.66 3.66 Cash Deposit Requirements Since the Final Determination, Commerce has established a new cash deposit rate for Prosperity and Yieh Phui/Synn.17 Therefore, this amended final determination does not change the 14 See Amended Final Determination and Order, 81 FR at 48391; Final Determination, 81 FR at 35314. 15 See Final Determination, 81 FR at 35314. 16 See United States Steel Corp. v.

Lastly, we note that, at this time, Commerce remains enjoined by Court order from liquidating entries that were produced and/or exported by Prosperity and imported by Prosperity Tieh USA, that were the subject of the First Administrative Review Final Results, and that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after June 2, 2016, up to and including June 30, 2017.

Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to this scope is dispositive.3 Changes Since the Preliminary Results As no parties submitted comments on the Preliminary Results, we made no changes in the final results of this review. International Trade Administration AGENCY: International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC, 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4136. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 5, 2018, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and invited comments from interested parties.1 No interested party submitted comments. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by the partial federal government closure from December 22, 2018, through the resumption of operations on January 28, 2019.2 If the new deadline falls on a non-business day, in accordance with Commerce’s practice, the deadline will become the next business day. The revised deadline for the final results of this review is now April 15, 2019. Final Results of the Review As a result of this review, Commerce determines that a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for LGE for the period February 1, 2017, through January 31, 2018. 1 See Large Residential Washers From the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2017– 2018, 83 FR 55346 (November 5, 2018) (Preliminary Results). 2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Deadlines Affected by the Partial Shutdown of the Federal Government,’’ dated January 28, 2019.

Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this administrative review. Because we calculated a zero margin for LGE in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties all shipments of subject merchandise manufactured and exported by LGE, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, during the POR. In accordance with Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by LGE for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.4 Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for merchandise produced and/or exported by LGE will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not covered by this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 11.80 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.5 These 4 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) for a full discussion of this practice. 5 See Large Residential Washers from Mexico and the Republic of Korea: Antidumping Duty Orders, 78 FR 11148 (February 15, 2013).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 2, 2016, Commerce published its Final Determination, and on 
July 25, 2016, Commerce published its Amended Final Determination and 
Order concerning the antidumping investigation of CORE from Taiwan.\1\ 
The plaintiffs in this litigation, consisting of the two-mandatory 
respondents, Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Prosperity) and Yieh 
Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Phui) timely filed complaints with the 
Court challenging certain aspects of Commerce's investigation. The 
petitioners in the investigation, AK Steel Corporation, Nucor 
Corporation, Steel Dynamics, Inc., California Steel Industries, Inc., 
ArcelorMittal USA LLC, and United States Steel Corporation intervened 
as defendant-intervenors.

Determination and Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 23, 2018, the Court remanded three aspects of Commerce's 
findings, in Prosperity Tieh I.\2\ First, the Court held that 
Commerce's determination to deny Yieh Phui's and Synn Industrial Co., 
Ltd.'s post-sale rebate adjustments ``violated its own regulations,'' 
and remanded to Commerce to ``correct this error.'' \3\ Second, the 
Court remanded Commerce's determination to collapse Prosperity, Yieh 
Phui, and Synn pursuant to its analysis under 19 CFR 351.401(f), 
because ``the collapsing decision was based on erroneous findings of 
fact.'' \4\ Third, the Court remanded Commerce's application of partial 
adverse facts available to Prosperity based on Commerce's finding that 
Prosperity misclassified certain of its products in reporting sales in 
the databases by placing these products in the wrong yield strength 
category.\5\ The Court held that, in reporting its yield strength, 
``Prosperity complied with the instructions as Commerce wrote them.'' 
\6\ The Court ruled that ``Commerce may not use facts otherwise 
available as a substitute for information that is now on the 
administrative record of the investigation, but indicated that ``the 
type of corrective action is a matter for Commerce to decide'' as to 
this remanded issue.\7\

    In its Final Results Redetermination, Commerce: (1) Granted, under 
protest, downward price adjustments to the home market sales price 
equal to the amount of Yieh Phui's post-sale rebates granted to the 
company's home market customers; (2) continued to treat Prosperity, 
Yieh Phui, and Synn as a single-entity consistent with 19 CFR 
351.401(f); and (3) revised, under protest, the Yieh Phui/Prosperity/
Synn entity's weighted-average dumping margin by using Prosperity's 
reported yield strength data.\8\ After accounting for all such changes 
and issues in the Final Results Redetermination, the resulting 
antidumping margin for the Yieh Phui/Prosperity/Synn entity is 3.66 
percent.\9\ On December 20, 2018, the Court sustained the Final Results 
Redetermination, in Prosperity II.\10\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken,\11\ as clarified by Diamond 
Sawblades,\12\ the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal 
Circuit) held that, pursuant to section 516A of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (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.\13\ The Court's December 20, 2018, judgment constitutes a 
final decision of the Court that is not in harmony with Commerce's 
Final Determination and Amended Final Determination and Order. As such, 
Commerce has published this notice in fulfillment of the publication 
requirement of Timken.

Amended Final Determination and Amended Order

    Because there is now a final court decision, Commerce is amending 
the Final Determination and Amended Final Determination and Order with 
respect to the weighted-average dumping margin for the Yieh Phui/
Prosperity/Synn entity. Furthermore, in the Amended Final Determination 
and Order, and in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, for 
companies not individually investigated, we applied an ``all-others'' 
rate of 10.34 percent.\14\ This rate was determined based on assigning 
the Yieh Phui/Prosperity/Synn entity's rate as the all-others rate.\15\ 
As noted above, the Yieh Phui/Prosperity/Synn's amended weighted-
average dumping margin is now 3.66 percent. Therefore, for purposes of 
this amended Final Determination, Commerce will instruct CBP that the 
all-others rate is to be amended to 3.66 percent.\16\ Accordingly, the 
revised weighted-average dumping margin for the collapsed Yieh Phui/
Prosperity/Synn entity and for all-others is as follows:

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Since the Final Determination, Commerce has established a new cash 
deposit rate for Prosperity and Yieh Phui/Synn.\17\ Therefore, this 
amended final determination does not change the

later-established cash deposit rates for those producers and/or 
exporters. For all-other producers and/or exporters, except for 
companies that subsequently received their own rates in the first 
administrative review,\18\ Commerce will issue revised cash deposit 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, adjusting the cash 
deposit rate for all-other producers and/or exporters to 3.66 percent, 
effective December 30, 2018.

64527 (December 17, 2018) (First Administrative Review Final 
Results). As a result of this administrative review, Commerce 
continued to treat Yieh Phui and Synn as a single entity and 
determined that Prosperity should no longer be collapsed with Yieh 
Phui and Synn.
