Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken,\5\ as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,\6\ 
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 July 23, 
2019, judgment sustaining Commerce's Remand Results constitutes a final 
decision of that court that is not in harmony with Commerce's Final 
Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication 
requirements of Timken. 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

margin. The revised weighted-average dumping margin for Jindal for the 
July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016, period of review is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jindal Poly Films Limited of India \7\.....................        0.87

    In the event the CIT's ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, is 
upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce will instruct 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on 
unliquidated entries of subject merchandise based on the revised rates
