 SUMMARY: On January 15, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment in 
                        *Wheatland Tube*
                         v. 
                        *United States,*
                         Court no. 22-00160, sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)'s first remand results pertaining to the administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe (CWP) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) covering the period November 1, 2019 through October 31, 2020. Commerce is notifying the public that the CIT's final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce's final results of the administrative review, and that Commerce is amending the final results with respect to the dumping margin assigned to Husteel Co., Ltd. (Husteel), Hyundai Steel Company (Hyundai), and the companies not selected for individual examination.
 DATES: Applicable January 24, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 4, 2022, Commerce published its 
                    *Final Results*
                     in the 2019-2020 AD administrative review of CWP from Korea. Commerce granted a constructed export price (CEP) offset to both Hyundai and Husteel (collectively, the mandatory respondents). The calculated weighted-average dumping margins for Hyundai and Husteel were 4.07 percent and 1.97 percent, respectively. Furthermore, the review specific rate assigned to companies not selected for individual examination was 3.21 percent.[1] Wheatland Tube appealed Commerce's 
                    *Final Results.*
                     On August 3, 2023, the CIT remanded the 
                    *Final Results*
                     to Commerce to: (1) provide the mandatory respondents with notice of deficiency in their respective submissions supporting their claims that home market sales during the period of review were at a more advanced level of trade (LOT) than the CEP level of trade; and (2) provide, to the extent practicable, an opportunity to remedy or explain the deficiencies identified in the 
                    *Final Results.*[2]
                    
                     Commerce subsequently issued a supplemental questionnaire on remand to each of the mandatory respondents identifying deficiencies and requesting information regarding their respective LOT analyses. In its 
                    *Final Redetermination,*
                     issued in November 2023, Commerce denied a CEP offset to both of the mandatory respondents and recalculated the weighted-average dumping margins for both Hyundai and Husteel without a CEP offset, and revised the review specific rate assigned to companies not selected for individual examination.[3]
                    
                     The CIT sustained Commerce's 
                    *Final Redetermination.*[4] Timken Notice In its decision in 
                    *Timken,*[5]
                    
                     as clarified by 
                    *Diamond Sawblades,*[6]
                    
                     the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of 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 January 15, 2025, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce's 
                    *Final Results.*
                     Thus, this notice is published 
                    ( print page 8925)
                    in fulfillment of the publication requirements of 
                    *Timken.* Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its 
                    *Final Results*
                     with respect to Husteel, Hyundai, and the companies not selected for individual examination as follows: Producer/exporter

 Cash Deposit Requirements Because Hyundai, Husteel, and each of the companies not selected for individual examination listed in the appendix all have a superseding cash deposit rate, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     there have been final results published in a subsequent administrative review,[9]
                    
                     we will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rates for those exporters/producers. Liquidation of Suspended Entries At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from liquidating entries that were produced and/or exported by: Husteel; Hyundai; Aju Besteel; Bookook Steel; Chang Won Bending; Dae Ryung; Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engeineering (DSME); Daiduck Piping; Dong Yang Steel Pipe; Dongbu Steel (also known as Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.); Eew Korea Company; Hyundai Rb; Kiduck Industries; Kum Kang Kind; Kumsoo Connecting; Miju Steel Mfg. (also known as Miju Steel Manufacturing); Nexteel Co., Ltd. (also known as Nexteel); Samkang M&T; Seah Fs; Seah Steel (also known as Seah Steel Corporation); Steel Flower; Vesta Co., Ltd.; and Ycp Co.; and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period November 1, 2019 through October 31, 2020. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process. In the event the CIT's ruling is not appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by the companies listed above in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific 
                    *ad valorem*
                     assessment rate is not zero or 
                    *de minimis.*
                     Where an import-specific 
                    *ad valorem*
                     assessment rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*[10]
                    
                     we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 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. Dated: January 24, 2025. Abdelali Elouaradia, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
