On May 20, 2014, the United States Court of International Trade (``CIT'') sustained the Department of Commerce's (``the Department'') final results of redetermination pursuant to remand of the 2008-2009 antidumping duty administrative review of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the People's Republic of China (``Remand Redetermination'').\1\ Consistent with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (``CAFC'') 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 (CAFC 2010) (``Diamond Sawblades''), the Department is notifying the public that the final judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Department's final results and is amending the final results of the administrative review of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') with respect to the margin assigned to Hilltop International (``Hilltop'') covering the period of review (``POR'') February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009.\2\

Cir. 1990) (Timken), as clarified by Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (Fed.
