additional relevant information 

regarding employee bonuses and 

recalculated the G&A expenses of Ta 

Chen to include bonuses to both 

employees and directors/supervisors. 

The Department also reconsidered Ta 

Chen’s U.S. indirect selling expenses 

and determined that there was no need 

to add financial interest expenses to Ta 

Chen’s U.S. indirect selling expenses. 

Thus, the Department did not change Ta 

Chen’s U.S. indirect selling expenses. 

As a result of the remand determination, 

the antidumping duty rate for Ta Chen 

was decreased from 6.11 to 6.10 percent. 

The CIT did not receive comments from 

either the Petitioners or Ta Chen.

On June 14, 2005, the CIT affirmed 

the Department’s findings in the 

Remand Results. Specifically, the CIT 

affirmed the Department’s recalculation 

of the G&A expenses for Ta Chen and 

the Department’s decision not to add 

financial interest expenses to Ta Chen’s 

U.S. indirect selling expenses. See Alloy 

Piping II.

On July 1, 2005, consistent with the 

decision of the United States Court of 

Appeals for the Federal Circuit 

(‘‘Federal Circuit’’) in Timken Co. v. 

United States, 893 F. 2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 

1990) (‘‘Timken’’), the Department 

notified the public that the CIT’s 

decision was ‘‘not in harmony’’ with the 

Final Results. See Notice of Court 

Decision and Suspension of Liquidation: 

Certain Stainless Steel Butt–Weld Pipe 

Fittings from Taiwan, 70 FR 126 (July 1, 

2005) (‘‘Timken Notice’’). No party has 

appealed the CIT’s decision. As there is 

now a final and conclusive court 

decision in this action, we are amending 

our final results of review and we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries subject 

to this review.

Amended Final Results

Because no further appeals have been 

filed and there is now a final and 

conclusive decision in the court 

proceeding, we are amending the final 

results of administrative review of the 

antidumping order on certain stainless 

steel butt–weld pipe fittings from 

Taiwan for the period June 1, 1999, 

through May 31, 2000. The revised 

weight–averaged dumping margin are as 

follows:

Company Margin (percent) 

Ta Chen ........................ 6.10

The Department will issue 

appraisement instructions directly to 

the CBP. The Department will instruct 

CBP to liquidate relevant entries 

covering the subject merchandise 

effective the date of publication of this 

notice.

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the 

Act.
