Certain Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Turkey: Notice of Amended Final Results Pursuant to Court Decision

Résumé

On April 12, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) upheld the final redetermination made by the Department of Commerce (the Department) in the 2005-2006 administrative review of certain steel concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) from Turkey. See Nucor Corporation, Gerdau Ameristeel, Inc., and Commercial Metals Company vs. United States, Case No. 07-00457, United States Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit, (April 12, 2010) (CAFC Decision). In this redetermination, the Department recalculated the cost of production for rebar produced and sold by Ekinciler Demir ve Celik Sanayi A.S. and Ekinciler Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively, "Ekinciler"), a Turkish producer/exporter of subject merchandise, to exclude depreciation which the Department had imputed to an asset reported in Ekinciler books and records. Because all litigation in this matter has now concluded, the Department is issuing its amended final results in accordance with the CAFC's decision.
