                                    ORDER

   This matter comes before the Court pursuant to the decision of
the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) in SKF USA
Inc. v. United States, 263 F.3d 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2001) and CAFC’s
mandate of October 15, 2001, vacating and remanding the judgment of
the Court in SKF USA Inc. v. United States, 2000 Ct. Intl. Trade
LEXIS 61, Slip Op. 00-59 (CIT June 1, 2000).

   Pursuant to said decision by CAFC, this Court hereby

   REMANDS this case to the Department of Commerce, International
Trade Administration (“Commerce”) to: (1) provide a reasonable
explanation of why Commerce uses different definitions of “foreign
like product” for price purposes and when calculating constructed
value; (2) explain the factual setting for the calculations at
issue; (3) explain the actual methodology of the calculations made;
and (4) explain why Commerce’s methodology for the calculations of
constructed value profit comports with the statute, the definition
of “foreign like product” contained in 19 U.S.C. § 1677(16), and
particularly the definition in subsection (C); and it is hereby
Court No. 98-07-02540                                        Page 2

   ORDERED that the remand results are due within ninety (90) days
of the date that this order is entered. Any responses or comments
are due within thirty (30) days thereafter. Any rebuttal comments
are due within fifteen (15) days after the date the responses or
comments are due.
