International Trade Administration November 20, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On November 4, 2013, the United States Court of International Trade (``Court'' or ``CIT'') issued its final judgment in Downhole Pipe v. United States,\1\ sustaining the Department of Commerce's (Department) Remand Results.\2\ Consistent with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (``Federal Circuit'') in Timken Co., v. United States, 893 F.2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (``Timken''), as clarified by Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (``Diamond Sawblades''), the Department is notifying the public that the final CIT judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Department's Final Determination \3\ and is amending the Final Determination with respect to the surrogate values (``SV'') for drill pipe green tubes and the labor wage rate in the less-than-fair-value investigation.

On July 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') initiated the first five-year (``sunset'') review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel nails from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act'').\1\ As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain steel nails from the PRC would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
