Download as PDF 56401 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 14, 2022 / Notices respective home market sale prices.8 Commerce also reasserted its affirmative cost-based PMS determination and emphasized that ‘‘the clear intent of Congress’’ was for Commerce to remedy a PMS, despite its inability to provide such a remedy because of the CIT’s order.9 On September 17, 2021, the CIT issued an opinion sustaining Commerce’s Second Redetermination.10 The CIT held that Commerce’s continued PMS finding in the Second Redetermination was moot because Commerce’s recalculation of the respondents’ weighted-average dumping margins, without a cost-based PMS adjustment, was consistent with the CIT’s order and the affirmative PMS determination would have no practical significance.11 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,12 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,13 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to sections 516A(c) and (e) of 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 September 17, 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 Pacific Pipe, Saha Thai, and Thai Premium. The revised dumping margins are as follows: Exporter/producer Final results of review: weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) Final results of redetermination: weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) 30.61 28.00 30.98 7.38 0.00 5.23 Pacific Pipe Public Company Limited ...................................................................................................................... Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd. ........................................................................................................ Thai Premium Pipe Company Ltd. .......................................................................................................................... khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Cash Deposit Requirements Because Pacific Pipe, Saha Thai, and Thai Premium each have a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results published in a subsequent administrative review, we will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). These amended final results of review will not affect the current cash deposit rates. Liquidation of Suspended Entries At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from liquidating entries that: were produced and exported by Pacific Pipe, Saha Thai, and Thai Premium, and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period March 1, 2016, through February 28, 2017. These entries will remain enjoined unless the injunction is lifted by the court, pursuant to the terms of the injunction, during the pendency of any appeals process. In the event the CIT’s ruling is upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review from Pacific Pipe, Saha Thai, and Thai Premium when the importer8 See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand, Saha Thai Steel Pipe Pub.

Where either the respondent’s weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard antidumping duties.14 Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.15 Notification to Interested Parties This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 516A(c) and (e) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 11 Id., 538 F.
