Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From France: Notice of Amended Final Determination Pursuant to Final Court Decision and Partial Revocation of Order

Resumo

On September 24, 2002, the United States Court of International Trade ("CIT") sustained the Department of Commerce's ("the Department") second remand determination of the Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From France, 64 FR 73277 (December 29, 1999) ("CTL Plate"). See GTS Industries S.A. v. United States, 246 F. Supp. 2d 1311 (2002) ("GTS II"). The Department appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Federal Circuit"). On May 13, 2004, the Federal Circuit affirmed the CIT's decision in GTS II. See GTS Industries S.A. v. United States, 97 Fed. Appx. 333 (CAFC, May 13, 2004) ("Appellate Decision"). Because all litigation in this matter has concluded, the Department is issuing this amended final determination in CTL Plate in accordance with the CIT's decision and revoking the countervailing duty order in part.
