The Department of Commerce (the Department) is notifying the public that the final judgment in this case is not in harmony with the final results, notice of amended final results, and notice of second amended final results of the administrative review and that the Department is amending the second amended final results with respect to the dumping margins assigned to Hyosung Corporation (Hyosung), Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Background On March 31, 2015, the Department issued the 
                    *Final Results.*[1]
                    
                     On May 6, 2015, in response to ministerial error allegations, the Department issued the 
                    *First Amended Final Results*
                     and on June 22, 2015, the 
                    *Second Amended Final Results.*[2]
                    
                     Hyosung and Hyundai are Korean producers/exporters of LPTs and were mandatory respondents in the underlying administrative review. In the 
                    *Second Amended Final Results,*
                     the Department assigned dumping margins of 8.23 percent and 12.36 percent to Hyosung and Hyundai, respectively. On October 7, 2016, the CIT remanded various aspects of the 
                    *Second Final Results*
                     to the Department.[3]
                    
                     Specifically, the Court instructed the Department to further address a sequencing issue regarding certain of Hyundai's U.S. sales documents on the record. The Court also directed the Department to further explain: (1) Its treatment of the U.S. commissions of Hyosung and Hyundai; (2) the record basis for such treatment; (3) whether such U.S. commissions resulted in the granting of commission offsets, and (4) the legal and factual basis for the granting or denial of the commission offsets.[4] Pursuant to the 
                    *Remand Order,*
                     the Department issued its Final Redetermination, which addressed the Court's holdings and revised the weighted-average dumping margins for Hyosung and Hyundai to 9.09 percent and 13.82 percent, respectively, and the rate assigned to the companies not selected for individual examination to 11.73 percent.[5]
                    
                     On October 10, 2017, the CIT sustained in whole the Department's Final Redetermination.[6] Timken Notice In its decision in 
                    *Timken,*[7]
                    
                     as clarified by 
                    *Diamond Sawblades,*[8]
                    
                     the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to sections 516A(c) and (e) of 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 October 10, 2017, final judgment sustaining the Department's Final Redetermination constitutes a final decision of the Court that is not in harmony with the 
                    *Second Amended 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 at issue pending expiration of the period to appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision. Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court decision, the Department is amending the 
                    *Second Amended Final Results*
                     with respect to the dumping margins calculated for Hyosung, Hyundai, and the companies not selected for individual examination. Based on the Final Redetermination, as affirmed by the CIT, the revised dumping margins for Hyosung, Hyundai, and the companies not selected for individual examination from February 16, 2012, through July 31, 2013, are as follows: Producer/exporter
Weighted-
                             average 
                             margin 
                             (percent)Hyosung Corporation
9.09Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd
13.82ILJIN Electric Co., Ltd
11.73ILJIN
11.73LSIS Co., Ltd
11.73
 In the event that the CIT's rulings are not appealed or, if appealed, are upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, the Department will instruct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise based on the revised dumping margins listed above. Cash Deposit Requirements Since the 
                    *Second Amended Final Results,*
                     the Department has established new cash deposit rates for the companies listed above.[9]
                    
                     Therefore, this Final Redetermination, and as affirmed by the Court, does not change the later-established cash deposit rates for the companies listed above. Notification to Interested Parties This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 516A(e)(1), 751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: October 31, 2017. Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
