Text: Fischer argues in two footnotes that there “would have [been] no dumping margins . . . if [Commerce] had not applied its arbitrary zeroing methodology,” Brief of Plaintiffs-Appellants at p. 9, n.1 (citing Dongbu); Reply Brief at p. 2, n. 1 (citing Dongbu and JTKET Corp. v. United States, 642 F.3d 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2011)), and asks the court to remand in accordance with Dongbu and JTKET for Commerce to explain why it is using zeroing in certain proceedings (i.e., administrative reviews) but not others (i.e., investigations), Oral Argument at 3:01-3:07 (available at http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/oral-argumentrecordings/2011-1152/all). The Government responds that because this issue was not fully briefed, it is not properly before the court. Oral Argument at 18:00-18:12. Be that as it may, since we are remanding this case for consideration of Fischer’s actual home market Brix data, we also expect Commerce to address on remand “why it is a reasonable interpretation of the statute to zero in administrative reviews, but not in investigations.” JTKET, 642 F.3d at 1384.
