                                            SENIOR JUDGE

DATED:    July 9, 2002
          New York, New York

     1

       The Court is bewildered by Commerce’s continued misreading
of the purpose and scope of the Court’s previous remands in this
matter. Similar to Commerce’s Final Results of Redetermination
Pursuant to Ct. Remand (“Remand Results I”), in Remand Results II,
Commerce rather than follow the clear instructions set forth by
this Court, states that Commerce

     will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to liquidate
     Consolidated’s imports of FAG merchandise during the
     [POR] . . . using the ad valorem rates from the September
     9, 1997, liquidation instructions which [Commerce]
     calculated based on FAG’s reported sales through its U.S.
     affiliate to various U.S. customers.

Remand Results II at 5.
