SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 31, 2003, the Department published the final results of

Shipper Review: Honey From the People's Republic of China, 68 FR 62053 
(October 31, 2003) (Final Results) and accompanying Issues and Decision 
Memorandum (Decision Memo). On July 16, 2004, Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., 
Ltd. (Wuhan Bee) filed a lawsuit challenging the final results. On June 
10, 2005, the CIT remanded the Department's decision to rely on Indian 
Import Statistics from the Monthly Statistics of Foreign Trade of India 
(MSFTI) value as a surrogate for steam coal rather than the Tata Energy 
Research Institute's (TERI) Energy Data Directory & Yearbook for 2001/
2002 domestic coal prices for steam coal placed on the record by Wuhan 
Bee. See Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op. 05-65 
(CIT June 10, 2005).
    In accordance with the CIT's remand order, the Department filed its 
remand results on September 7, 2005. In those remand results, the 
Department used the domestic coal prices for steam coal as reported in 
the TERI data as a surrogate value for the steam coal input and 
recalculated Wuhan Bee's margin accordingly. See Final Results Pursuant 
to Remand for Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op. 
05-65 published on Import Administration's website (http://ia.ita.doc.gov).
    On November 2, 2005, the CIT affirmed the Department's remand 
redetermination. See Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip 
Op. 05-142 (CIT 2005). There was no appeal of the CIT's decision to the 
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit filed within the appeal 
period. Therefore, the CIT's decision is now final and conclusive.

Amendment to Final Results

    We are now amending the final results of this new shipper review to 
reflect the final and conclusive decision of the CIT. The changes to 
our calculations with respect to Wuhan Bee resulted in a change in the 
weighted-average margin from 32.84 percent to 32.63 percent for the 
period of review. The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection to liquidate entries of honey from the People's Republic of 
China produced by, exported to, or imported into the United States by 
Wuhan Bee during the review period at the assessment rates the 
Department calculated for these amended final results of review.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.

    Dated: January 20, 2006.
