Background

    On June 8, 2015, Commerce published the Final Results, in which we

March 31, 2017, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce to 
reconsider the valuation of cores and the use of certain financial 
statements.\2\ In the first final remand redetermination, we revised 
the valuation of cores and used other available financial statements to 
calculate surrogate financial ratios.\3\ On March 22, 2018, the CIT 
remanded the Final Results to further examine the revisions to the 
valuation of cores and our decision not to use certain financial 
statements in the first final remand redetermination.\4\ In the second 
final remand redetermination, we further revised the valuation of cores 
and we used additional financial statements to calculate surrogate 
financial ratios.\5\ On October 23, 2018, the CIT sustained our second 
final remand redetermination in its entirety.\6\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 
(Fed. Cir. 1990) (Timken), as clarified by Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. 
Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2010), the United 
States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to 
section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
Commerce must publish a notice of a 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 23, 
2018, final judgment sustaining the second final remand redetermination 
constitutes the CIT's final decision which is not ``in harmony'' with 
the Final Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the 
publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, Commerce will continue 
the suspension of liquidation of the subject merchandise pending 
expiration of the period to appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and 
conclusive court decision.
