In Fuyao IV, the court remanded this matter to the United States Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) for the purpose of devising a reasonable methodology to calculate an antidumping margin for the Pilkington Plaintiffs and Benxun, taking into consideration the zero margins assigned to Fuyao and Xinyi. See Order of 12/19/06.

On remand, Commerce identified the control numbers (“CONNUMs”)2 shared by the Pilkington Plaintiffs, Benxun, Fuyao and Xinyi, as reported in their questionnaire responses, and “impute[d] Fuyao’s and Xinyi’s CONNUM-specific margins to the matching CONNUMs of [the Pilkington Plaintiffs] and Benxun.”

Fourth Remand Results at 8. Commerce then weight-averaged those CONNUM-specific margins, which resulted in the de minimis antidumping margin of 1.47 percent for the Pilkington Plaintiffs and Benxun. Neither the Pilkington Plaintiffs nor CSG contest the Fourth Remand Results.

In light of the foregoing, and Commerce having duly complied with the court’s directive in Fuyao IV, it is hereby

Commerce defined a CONNUM as a products’s unique combination of physical characteristics. See Fourth Remand Results at 6.

Consol. Court No. 02-00312 Page 3 ORDERED that the Fourth Remand Results are sustained.
