Multilayered Wood Flooring From the 

People’s Republic of China: Notice of 

Court Decision Not in Harmony With 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

and Notice of Amended Final Results 

of Administrative Review Pursuant to 

Court Decision 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On August 25, 2017, the 

United States Court of International 

Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment 

sustaining the Department of 

Commerce’s (the Department) final 

results of remand redetermination 

pursuant to court order. The Department 

is notifying the public that the final 

judgment in this case is not in harmony 

with the Department’s final results in 

the second administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on multilayered 

wood flooring from the People’s 

Republic of China (PRC), and that the 

Department is amending its 

determination with respect to Linyi 

Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd. 

(Linyi Bonn). 

DATES: Applicable September 4, 2017.

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Linyi Bonn was reviewed in a new 

shipper review (NSR) of the 

antidumping duty order on multilayered 

wood flooring from the PRC, covering 

the period of review from December 1, 

2012 through May 31, 2013.1 In the 

Final Results of NSR, the Department 

calculated a weighted-average dumping 

margin for Linyi Bonn of zero percent, 

also finding that Linyi Bonn had 

demonstrated its entitlement to a 

separate rate.2

Linyi Bonn was also subsequently a 

respondent in an administrative review 

that partially overlapped the period of 

review for the NSR, in that it covered 

the period of review December 1, 2012 

through November 30, 2013. On July 15, 

2016, the Department published the 

Final Results in the administrative 

review, in which it found that Linyi 

Bonn was part of the PRC-wide entity, 

because Linyi Bonn failed to submit 

either a timely certification of no sales, 

a separate rate certification, or a 

separate rate application.3

On April 21, 2017, the CIT remanded 

the Final Results, finding the 

Department’s determination to assign 

Linyi Bonn the PRC-wide rate of 58.84 

percent was contrary to law. The CIT 

held that the Department’s Initiation 

Notice 4 failed to provide notice to Linyi 

Bonn of the need to file a ‘‘partial’’ no 

shipments certification for only a 

portion of the review. The CIT 

remanded for the Department to 

‘‘correct the problem created by its 

failure to provide notice.’’ 5 In 

particular, the CIT ordered the 

Department to afford Linyi Bonn ‘‘the 

opportunity it would have had if the 

Department’s failure to provide notice 

had not occurred.’’ 6

On June 19, 2017, the Department 

issued its Remand Results, in which the 

Department determined that Linyi Bonn 

did not have shipments during the 

period of review other than those 

already reviewed in the Final Results of 

NSR.7

On August 25, 2017, the CIT issued its 

decision sustaining the Department’s 

Remand Results.8

Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,9 as clarified 

by Diamond Sawblades,10 the Court of 

Appeals for the Federal Circuit held 

that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

the Department must publish a notice of 

a court decision that is not ‘‘in 

harmony’’ with a Department 

determination and must suspend 

liquidation of entries pending a 

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s 

August 25, 2017, judgment constitutes a 

final decision of that court that is not in 

harmony with the Department’s Final 

Results. This notice is published in 

fulfillment of the publication 

requirements of Timken. Accordingly, 

the Department will continue the 

suspension of liquidation of the subject 

merchandise pending the expiration of 

the period of appeal, or if appealed, 

pending a final and conclusive court 

decision. 

Amended Final Results 

Because there is now a final court 

decision with respect to this case, the 

Department is amending its Final 

Results with respect Linyi Bonn. Based 

on the Remand Results, we no longer 

find that Linyi Bonn is part of the PRCwide entity. Instead, we have found that 

Linyi Bonn had no reviewable 

shipments during the period of review 

that were not otherwise covered in the 

overlapping period of review for the 

partially concurrent NSR. 

In the event that the CIT’s ruling is 

not appealed or, if appealed, is upheld 

by a final and conclusive court decision, 

the Department will issue appropriate 

instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection to give effect to the finding of 

no shipments during the period June 1, 

2013, through November 30, 2013, and 

to ensure that any entries of subject 

merchandise that were produced and 

exported by Linyi Bonn during the 

period December 1, 2012, through May 

31, 2013, are liquidated in accordance 

with the Final Results of NSR. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Because there has been a subsequent 

administrative review for Linyi Bonn, 

the cash deposit rate for Linyi Bonn will 

remain the rate established in the most 

recently-completed administrative 

review, which is zero percent.11
