Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of 
China: Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony With the Final Results 
of Review and Amended Final Results of the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review; 2014-2015

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On December 16, 2019, the United States Court of International 
Trade (CIT) sustained the final remand redetermination pertaining to 
the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on diamond 
sawblades and parts thereof from the People's Republic of China 
covering the period November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2015. The 
Department of Commerce (Commerce) is notifying the public that the 
CIT's final judgment in this case is not in harmony with the final 
results of the administrative review and that Commerce is amending the 
final results with respect to certain respondents eligible for separate 
rates.
    Applicable date: December 26, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yang Jin Chun or Minoo Hatten, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-5760 or (202) 482-1690, 
respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 12, 2017, Commerce published the Final Results, in which we 
accepted an alternative sales identification methodology for Bosun 
Tools Co., Ltd. (Bosun), calculated a margin for Bosun, and assigned 
the margin for Bosun to the non-selected separate rate respondents.\1\ 
On October 23, 2018, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce to: 
(1) Further clarify or reconsider Commerce's conclusion that Bosun 
acted to the best of its ability in responding to Commerce's requests 
for information; and (2) further explain Commerce's selection of 
surrogate values for copper powder and copper iron clab.\2\

Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2014-2015, 82 FR 26912 (June 12, 2017) (Final Results).

States, Court No. 17-00167, Slip Op. 18-146 (CIT Oct. 23, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the final remand redetermination, we found that Bosun had not 
acted to the best of its ability in responding to our request for 
information and determined Bosun's margin entirely on the basis of the 
facts available with an adverse inference (AFA). Because we applied AFA 
to Bosun, the issue concerning the surrogate value for copper power and 
copper iron clab was moot.\3\ On December 16, 2019, the CIT sustained 
our final remand redetermination in its entirety.\4\

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 December 16, 
2019, final judgment sustaining the 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.

Amended Final Results of Review

    Because there is now a final court decision, Commerce is amending 
the Final Results with respect to Bosun and

Circumstances Review, 82 FR 60177 (December 19, 2017). In this 
changed circumstances review, Commerce determined that Chengdu 
Huifeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is the successor-in-
interest to Chengdu Huifeng Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.
    \6\ Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., is the 
successor-in-interest to Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond Tools Co. See

Cash Deposit Requirements

    As the cash deposit rate for Danyang Hantronic Import & Export Co., 
Ltd., has not been subject to subsequent administrative reviews, 
Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP adjusting 
the rate from 6.19 percent to 82.05 percent, effective December 26, 
2019. For all other respondents listed above, because the cash deposit 
rates have been updated in subsequent administrative reviews,\7\ we 
will not update their cash deposit rates as a result of these amended 
final results.
