JUDGMENT
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Opinion and Order dated March 29, 2022, New York concedes that if the Court finds the 2020 Allocation Rule to be valid, "that ruling will also dispose of New York's claims regarding the 2022 quotas and the Court can enter final judgment for Commerce." [ECF No. 31]. The Court finds that the agency action here was not arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law. Accordingly, New York's Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED and Commerce's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED; accordingly, the case is closed. 1
