the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) in FAG

Cir. 2001) and CAFC’s mandate of October 15, 2001, vacating and
remanding the judgment of the Court in FAG Kugelfischer Georg

Pursuant to said decision by CAFC, this Court hereby

explanation of why Commerce uses different definitions of “foreign
like product” for price purposes and when calculating constructed
value; (2) explain the factual setting for the calculations at
issue; (3) explain the actual methodology of the calculations made;
and (4) explain why Commerce’s methodology for the calculations of
constructed value profit comports with the statute, the definition
of “foreign like product” contained in 19 U.S.C. § 1677(16), and
particularly the definition in subsection (C); and it is hereby
Court No. 99-08-00465 Page 2
