Amended Final Determination

    Because there is now a final court decision, Commerce is amending 
its Final Determination with respect to the WW Group. Commerce finds 
that for the period July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, the 
following dumping margin exists:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
WW Group............................  WW Group..............       67.66
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Because the WW Group does not have a superseding cash deposit rate, 
i.e., there have been no final results published in a subsequent 
administrative review for the WW Group, Commerce will issue revised 
cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. 
Effective December 20, 2019, the cash deposit rate applicable to 
entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by the WW Group is 
67.66 percent.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
516A(e), 751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
