SUMMARY: On October 19, 2021, the U.S. Court of International Trade (the CIT) issued its final judgment in Husteel Co., Ltd. v. United States, Consol. Court no. 19–00107, sustaining the Department of Commerce (Commerce)’s second remand results pertaining to the administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe (CWP) from the Republic of Korea (Korea).

DATES: Applicable October 29, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Theodore Pearson, AD/CVD Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–2631. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On June 6, 2019, Commerce published its Final Results in the 2016–2017 AD administrative review of CWP from Korea.1 Commerce determined in the Final Results that a particular market situation (PMS) existed in Korea with regard to the respondents’ purchases of hot-rolled coil, the primary input for the production of subject merchandise and, accordingly, we made an adjustment to the cost of production for the purposes calculating normal value when based upon home market sales and for the purposes of the sales-below-cost test.2 Husteel Co., Ltd., Hyundai Steel Company, SeAH Steel Corporation, and NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. appealed Commerce’s Final Results. On October 19, 2020, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce, holding that Commerce does not have statutory authority to address a PMS when determining normal value using home market sales by adjusting the cost of production for purposes of the salesbelow-cost test.3 In its First Remand Redetermination, issued in December 2020, to address the PMS, rather than basing normal value on home market sales, Commerce based normal value on constructed value and continued to make PMS adjustments to calculate the respondents’ costs when calculating constructed value.4 The CIT remanded for a second time, after granting Commerce’s request for a partial voluntary remand to reconsider 1 See Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016– 2017, 84 FR 26401 (June 6, 2019) (Final Results), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM). 2 See Final Results IDM at Comment 1. 3 See Husteel Co., Ltd. v. United States, 476 F. Supp. 3d 1363 (CIT 2020) (Husteel I). 4 See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Order Husteel Co., Ltd., et al. v. United States, Court No. 19–00107, Slip Op. 20–147 (CIT October 19, 2020), dated December 17, 2020 (First Remand Redetermination). PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59695 its approach of basing normal value on constructed value and making certain PMS adjustments to address the PMS.5 In its Second Remand Redetermination, issued in June 2021, Commerce, under protest, determined normal value once again using home market sales, removed the PMS adjustments it applied in both the Final Results and the First Remand Redetermination, and recalculated the dumping margins.6 The CIT sustained Commerce’s Second Remand Redetermination.7 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,8 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,9 the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of 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 October 19, 2021, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce’s Final Results. Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its Final Results with respect to Husteel Co., Ltd., Hyundai Steel Company, and the non-examined companies (SeAH Steel Corporation and NEXTEEL Co., Ltd.) as follows: 5 See Husteel Co., Ltd. v. United States, 517 F. Supp. 3d 1342, 1348 (CIT 2021) (Husteel II). Commerce requested a partial voluntary remand in light of the Court’s decision in Saha Thai II. See Saha Thai Steel Pipe Pub. Co. Ltd. v. United States, 487 F. Supp. 3d 1323 (CIT 2020) (Saha Thai II). In that case, the CIT found that ‘‘Commerce’s exclusion of home market sales due to distortions in the cost of production is not authorized by statute,’’ and found that ‘‘Commerce had not met the precondition of calculating constructed value when it made a particular market situation determination based on distorted cost of production.’’ Saha Thai II, 487 F. Supp. 3d at 1331– 34. The methodology that the Court rejected in Saha Thai II was the same methodology Commerce had applied in the First Remand Redetermination. 6 See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Order Husteel Co., Ltd., et al. v. United States, Court No. 19–00107, Slip Op. 21–51 (CIT May 3, 2021), dated June 22, 2021 (Second Remand Redetermination). 7 See Husteel Co., Ltd. v. United States, Consol.
