The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and strip from the United Arab Emirates (A-520-803). In a change from its preliminary results, Commerce found targeted dumping by respondent JBF RAK, and so adopted a nonstandard average-to-transaction calculation methodology that increased the AD rate for the company. The agency found a zero AD rate for the other respondent, FLEX Middle East, so entries of subject merchandise from that company during the period of review will be liquidated without regard to AD duties, and future entries of subject merchandise from the company will not be subject to an AD cash deposit requirement until further notice. The new rates are effective May 21, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on ball bearings from Germany (A-428-801). The agency made no changes from its preliminary results, continuing to find zero AD rates for all respondents. As such, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate entries of merchandise from these companies without regard to AD duties. Commerce revoked these orders effective Sept. 15, 2011, so entries of subject merchandise are no longer covered by a cash deposit requirement. This is the last administrative review of the Germany ball bearings antidumping order.

Nintendo of America will partner with Best Buy next month to enable U.S. and Canadian consumers to “experience select unreleased Wii U games at more than 100 retail locations” the week of E3, NOA’s Reggie Fils-Aime said Friday in the latest Nintendo Direct webcast. E3 is set for June 11-13 in Los Angeles.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on silicon metal from China (A-570-806). The agency made no changes from its preliminary results, continuing to find sole respondent Shanghai Jinneng International Trade Co., Ltd., had no reviewable shipments during the period of review. Shanghai Jinneng will continue to receive the AD rate last assigned to it, Commerce said.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate products from South Korea (A-580-836). The agency made no changes from its preliminary results, continuing to find zero AD rates for all three respondents to the review. As such, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate entries of merchandise from these three companies without regard to AD duties, and will not collect a cash deposit on such entries until further notice. The new rates are effective May 17, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
Aereo filed a motion for summary judgment in the case against it by several major broadcast networks over its online TV service. Aereo said Tuesday that all of the issues in the case were already decided in the company’s favor during failed preliminary attempts by broadcasters to get an injunction in lower court and again in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Both courts ruled that Aereo’s system of tiny, individualized antennas doesn’t infringe on broadcasters’ copyrights. “Because that reasoning applies with equal force at this stage, Aereo is entitled to summary judgment,” said the motion.

If granted, Aereo’s motion could end the case against it in the U.S. District Court in New York, said Fletcher Heald TV-station lawyer Harry Cole, not involved in the litigation. Because of the extended appellate battle over the preliminary injunction, the overarching case has been on hold, and is awaiting a decision from the 2nd Circuit on whether the full court will rehear the case. The granting of Aereo’s motion could make that en banc appeal a moot process, Cole told us.
