 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
 SUMMARY: On May 26, 2022, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment in 
                        *Celik Halat ve Tel Sanayi A.S.*
                         v. 
                        *United States,*
                         Court No. 21-00050, sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce's (Commerce) first remand redetermination pertaining to the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) from the Republic of Turkey (Turkey), covering the period of investigation January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019. Commerce is notifying the public that the CIT's final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce's final determination in that investigation, and that Commerce is amending the final determination with respect to the countervailable subsidy rate assigned to Celik Halat ve Tel Sanayi A.S. (Celik Halat) and all other exporters/producers of PC strand not individually examined.
 DATES: Applicable June 5, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On December 11, 2020, Commerce published its 
                    *Final Determination*
                     in the CVD investigation of PC strand from Turkey.[1]
                    
                     Commerce calculated an estimated net countervailable subsidy rate of 158.44 percent for Celik Halat and 94.61 percent for all other exporters/producers not individually examined.[2]
                    
                     Commerce subsequently published the CVD order on PC strand from Turkey.[3] Celik Halat appealed Commerce's 
                    *Final Determination.*
                     On February 15, 2022, the CIT remanded the 
                    *Final Determination*
                     to Commerce, stating that Commerce impermissibly used facts otherwise available with respect to the late filing of Celik Halat's initial questionnaire response.[4]
                    
                     The CIT ordered Commerce to expeditiously determine a new estimated net countervailable subsidy rate for Celik Halat that does not resort to section 776 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), with respect to the filing of the initial questionnaire response.[5] In its final remand redetermination, issued in April 2022, Commerce accepted Celik Halat's questionnaire responses, and based upon the information received, calculated an estimated net countervailable subsidy rate of 2.96 percent for Celik Halat and 16.87 percent for all other exporters/producers not individually examined.[6]
                    
                     The CIT sustained Commerce's final redetermination.[7] Timken Notice In its decision in 
                    *Timken,*[8]
                    
                     as clarified by 
                    *Diamond Sawblades,*[9]
                    
                     the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of 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 May 26, 2022, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce's 
                    *Final Determination.*
                     Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of 
                    *Timken.* Amended Final Determination Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its 
                    *Final Determination*
                     with respect to Celik Halat and all other exporters/producers not individually examined as follows: Company

Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
