(Icdas) and all other producers and/or exporters.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 28, 2018, Commerce published its *Final Determination* in the AD investigation of wire rod from Turkey.[1]

           After correcting a ministerial error contained in the *Final Determination,* on May 21, 2018, Commerce published the *Amended Final Determination and Order,* and calculated a revised weighted-average dumping margin of 4.93 percent for Habas, 7.94 percent for Icdas, and 6.44 percent for all other producers/exporters of subject merchandise.[2] Icdas and Habas appealed Commerce's *Final Determination,* as modified by the *Amended Final Determination and Order*. On January 28, 2020, the CIT remanded the *Amended Final Determination and Order* to Commerce, directing Commerce to recalculate Habas' and Icdas' duty drawback adjustments using a different calculation methodology than the duty neutral methodology Commerce applied in the *Final Determination,* which allocated the duty drawback over total cost of production.[3] In its first remand redetermination, issued in April 2020, Commerce recalculated Icdas' and Habas' duty drawback adjustment by adding the full amount of exempted duties to Habas' and Icdas' U.S. price, and adding the same per-unit duty amount to normal value as a circumstance-of-sale adjustment.[4]
           As a result of the changes in the *First Results of Redetermination,* Commerce calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margins of 3.22 percent for Habas, 8.72 percent for Icdas, and 4.78 percent for all other producers/exporters of subject merchandise.[5]
           The CIT remanded Commerce's determination for a second time, ordering Commerce to recalculate normal value without making a circumstance-of-sale adjustment related to the duty drawback adjustment made to U.S. price.[6] In its final remand redetermination, issued in December 2020, Commerce calculated a duty drawback adjustment for Habas and Icdas without making a circumstance-of-sale adjustment to normal value, resulting in a revised weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent for Habas, and 4.44 percent for Icdas and all other producers/exporters of subject merchandise.[7] The CIT sustained Commerce's final redetermination.[8] Timken Notice In its decision in *Timken,*[9]
           as clarified by *Diamond Sawblades,*[10]

           the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) held that, pursuant to sections 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 May 20, 2021, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce's *Amended Final Determination and Order*. Thus, ( print page 28750)this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of *Timken*. Amended Final Determination and Antidumping Duty Order Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its *Amended Final Determination and Order* with respect to Habas, Icdas, and all other producers/exporters as follows: Producer/exporter

 Notice of Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order, in Part Pursuant to section 735(a)(4) of the Act, Commerce “shall disregard any weighted average dumping margin that is *de minimis* as defined in section 733(b)(3) of the Act.” [12]

           As a result of this amended final determination, Commerce is hereby excluding from this *Order* merchandise produced and exported by Habas, for which Commerce has calculated an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent.[13]
           This exclusion will not be applicable to merchandise exported to the United States by Habas in any other producer/exporter combination or by third parties that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded producer/exporter combination.[14]
           As a result of the exclusion, Commerce will not initiate any new administrative reviews of the AD order with respect to merchandise produced and exported by Habas. However, a review may be conducted with regard to merchandise produced by Habas and exported by another company or produced by any other company and exported by Habas, as such merchandise is not subject to exclusion. Cash Deposit Requirements for Icdas and All Other Producers/Exporters Because Icdas and all other producers/exporters do not have superseding cash deposit rates, *i.e.,* there have been no final results published in subsequent administrative reviews for Icdas and all other producers/exporters, Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Liquidation of Suspended Entries As a result of this *Amended Final Determination and Order,* in which Commerce calculated a revised weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent for Habas, Commerce is hereby excluding merchandise produced and exported by Habas from the AD order. Accordingly, for entries of merchandise produced and exported by Habas that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, prior to May 30, 2021, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate such entries without regard to antidumping duties. For entries of merchandise produced and exported by Habas that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after May 30, 2021, Commerce will direct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation at a cash deposit rate of 0.00 percent. Pursuant to *Timken,*[15]
           as clarified by *Diamond Sawblades,*[16]
           under sections 516A(c) and (e) of the Act, Commerce must suspend liquidation of such entries pending a “conclusive” court decision. If the CIT's ruling is not appealed, or if appealed and upheld, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate entries produced and exported by Habas, and entered on or after May 30, 2021, 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) of the Act. Dated: May 25, 2021. Christian Marsh, Acting Assistant Secretary, for Enforcement and Compliance.
