SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 8, 2014, the Department filed its Remand Results IV, in 
which the Department assigned partial adverse facts available rates to 
sales of four product types of wooden bedroom furniture that Fairmont 
failed to report to the Department, revised the weighted-average 
dumping margin calculated for Fairmont, and assigned this rate as a 
separate rate to Langfang Tiancheng Furniture Co., Ltd. and Longrange 
Furniture Co., Ltd. On January 14, 2015, the Court sustained the 
Department's Remand Results IV.\4\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond 
Sawblades, the CAFC has held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department must 
publish a notice of a court decision that is not ``in harmony'' with a 
Department determination and must suspend liquidation of entries 
pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The CIT's January 14, 2015 
judgment sustaining the rates that the Department applied as partial 
facts available constitutes a final decision of that court that is not 
in harmony with the Department's Final Results. This notice is 
published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. 
Accordingly, the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation 
of the subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of 
appeal, or if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision.

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court decision with respect to this 
case, the Department is amending its Final Results with respect to 
Fairmont's weighted-average dumping margin for the period January 1, 
2008 through December 31, 2008. In addition, the Department is amending 
its Final Results with respect to Langfang Tiancheng Furniture Co., 
Ltd. and Longrange Furniture Co., Ltd., the separate rate respondents 
included in this final court decision. The remaining weighted-average 
dumping margins from the Final Results remain unchanged.
