on entries of wind towers from 

Indonesia and to release any bonds or 

other security and refund cash deposits 

pertaining to any suspended entries of 

wind towers from Indonesia. Although 

section 705(c)(2)(A) of the Act instructs 

Commerce to terminate suspension of 

liquidation, we note that, pursuant to 

Timken, the suspension of liquidation 

must continue during the pendency of 

the appeals process. Thus, we will 

instruct CBP at this time to: (1) Release 

any bond or other security and refund 

any cash deposit made pursuant to the 

order as discussed above; and (2) 

continue to suspend liquidation of all 

unliquidated entries of wind towers 

from Indonesia at a cash deposit rate of 

0.00 percent which are entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after January 7, 

2022, which is ten days after the court’s 

decision, in accordance with section 

516A of the Act.9 In the event that the 

CIT’s judgment affirming the Final 

Redetermination is not appealed, or is 

appealed and upheld by the U.S. Court 

of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation 

and to liquidate those entries of subject 

merchandise without regard to 

countervailing duties. Notwithstanding 

the continued suspension pursuant to 

Timken described above, the CVD order 

on wind towers from Indonesia is 

hereby revoked. 

At this time, Commerce remains 

enjoined by CIT order during the 

pendency of litigation, including any 

appeals, from liquidating entries of 

wind towers from Indonesia that were 

produced and/or exported by Kenertec 

and that were entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, during the period 

December 13, 2019, through December 

31, 2020, excluding entries on or after 

April 11, 2020, through August 24, 

2020. Pursuant to the terms of the 

injunction, the enjoined entries of 

subject merchandise will be liquidated 

in accordance with the final court 

decision in this action, including all 

appeals, as provided in section 516A(e) 

of the Act. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 516A(c) and 

(e) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
