Clarification of the 2009 Calculation of Expected Non-Market Economy Wages

Zusammenfassung

On December 8, 2009, the Department of Commerce ("Department") published the final calculation of the 2009 expected non-market economy ("NME") wages. See 2009 Calculation of Expected Non-Market Economy Wages, 74 FR 65092 (December 9, 2009) ("Final 2009 Notice"). In the Final 2009 Notice, the Department stated that the final wage rate would be applied to all antidumping proceedings for which the Department's final decision is due after the publication of the notice. The Department hereby clarifies that it will apply this wage rate to final determinations subsequent to the publication of the Final 2009 Notice in antidumping proceedings for which the Department has not yet reached the preliminary results. The Final 2009 Notice remains in effect in all other respects.
