The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on frozen fish fillets from Vietnam (A-552-801) (here). These final results will be used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for entries from Aug. 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014 exported by the approximately 30 companies under review.
The Commerce Department is beginning an antidumping duty investigation on imports of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane from China, it said in a fact sheet released March 24 (here). A domestic industry coalition requested the investigations on March 3 (see 1603080011), in a second attempt to set AD duties after an investigation on the same product in 2013 found no injury to U.S. industry. The International Trade Commission is scheduled to make its preliminary injury determination by April 18. These AD/CV duty investigations will only continue if the ITC finds injury. ITT will provide more details upon publication of the initiation notice in the Federal Register.
Antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on stainless steel sheet and strip from China will continue, after the International Trade Commission on March 25 voted unanimously that there is a "reasonable indication" that U.S. industry is being injured by dumped and illegally subsidized imports, it said (here). The next step is the Commerce Department’s preliminary determinations, at which point AD and CV duty cash deposits may be required on imports of subject merchandise. Commerce’s preliminary findings are due May 9 in the CV duty investigation, and July 21 in the AD duty investigation.
The FCC got its way for now in what lawyers called an unusual court case they said Thursday will help one station sell all its spectrum in the incentive auction. The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously with one abstention gave Gray Television a stay Wednesday of a Superior Court March 2 preliminary injunction (see 1603110074) requiring the broadcaster reinstate to its past condition for WAGT Augusta. Officials and court records said that would have meant the station, which Gray agreed to sell in the auction so the company wouldn't have a duopoly in the market, couldn't be included in the auction that starts Tuesday. Instead, it would have been restored to a discontinued joint sales agreement with Media General.

Ohio Sens. Rob Portman, R, and Sherrod Brown, D, wrote a letter (here) to Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker expressing concern that her department is not applying “adverse facts available” comprehensively enough in trade cases involving uncooperative governments and businesses. The letter, which contains 20 other signatures from Democratic and Republican senators, said “time is of the essence” in implementing new authorities to mitigate the “devastating” impacts that illegal dumping has had on domestic production and employment. The “adverse facts available” principle allows the Commerce Department flexibility in assessing AD/CVD rates, and gives it ultimate discretion to apply the highest available countervailing subsidy rates or dumping margins in proceedings where a foreign entity provides insufficient information or fails to cooperate.
