Shrimp from the People’s Republic of 

China and the Socialist Republic of 

Vietnam: Notice of Extension of Time 

Limit for the Final Results of the Third 

Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 26839 

(June 4, 2009). On July 22, 2009, the 

Department published a second notice 

extending the deadline for the final 

results of the administrative review. See 

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from 

the People’s Republic of China and the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Notice of 

Extension of Time Limit for the Final 

Results of the Third Administrative 

Reviews, 74 FR 36164 (July 22, 2009). 

The final results are currently due no 

later than August 28, 2009. 

Extension of Time Limit for the Final 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), requires 

that the Department issue the final 

results of an administrative review 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the preliminary results are published. If 

it is not practicable to complete the 

review within that time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend the deadline for 

the final results to a maximum of 180 

days after the date on which the 

preliminary results are published. On 

June 4 and July 22, 2009, the 

Department extended the deadline of 

the final results by a total of 52 days. 

Thus, the Department may extend the 

deadline of the final results by an 

additional eight days. 

The Department requires additional 

time to properly consider the numerous 

and complex issues raised by interested 

parties in their case briefs and rebuttal 

briefs regarding surrogate values for 

factors of production, numerous 

company-specific issues, and the 

separate-rate status for numerous nonmandatory companies. 

Thus, it is not practicable to complete 

these reviews by August 28, 2009. 

Therefore, the Department is again 

extending the time limit for completion 

of the final results of these reviews by 

eight days, in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results 

are now due no later than September 5, 

2009.1

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Part 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On April 27, 2009, the 

Department of Commerce published the 

preliminary results of the administrative 

reviews of the antidumping duty orders 

on ball bearings and parts thereof from 

France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the 

United Kingdom. The reviews cover 15 

manufacturers/exporters. The period of 

review is May 1, 2007, through April 30, 

2008. 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made 

changes, including corrections of certain 

programming and other ministerial 

errors, in the margin calculations. 

Therefore, the final results are different 

from the preliminary results. The final 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the reviewed firms are listed below in 

the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of the 

Reviews.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 27, 2009, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) published 

the preliminary results of the 

administrative reviews of the 

antidumping duty orders on ball 

bearings and parts thereof from France, 

Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United 

Kingdom. See Ball Bearings and Parts 

Thereof From France, et al.: Preliminary 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Intent to 

Revoke Order in Part, 74 FR 19056 

(April 27, 2009) (Preliminary Results). 

For these administrative reviews, the 

period of review is May 1, 2007, through 

April 30, 2008. 

We invited interested parties to 

comment on the Preliminary Results. At 

the request of an interested party, we 

held a hearing for Italy-specific issues 

on June 22, 2009. The Department has 

conducted these administrative reviews 

in accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by the orders 

are ball bearings and parts thereof. 

These products include all antifriction 

bearings that employ balls as the rolling 

element. Imports of these products are 

classified under the following 

categories: Antifriction balls, ball 

bearings with integral shafts, ball 

bearings (including radial ball bearings) 

and parts thereof, and housed or 

mounted ball bearing units and parts 

thereof. 

Imports of these products are 

classified under the following 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 

3926.90.45, 4016.93.10, 4016.93.50, 

6909.19.50.10, 8431.20.00, 

8431.39.00.10, 8482.10.10, 8482.10.50, 

8482.80.00, 8482.91.00, 8482.99.05, 

8482.99.35, 8482.99.25.80, 

8482.99.65.95, 8483.20.40, 8483.20.80, 

8483.30.40, 8483.30.80, 8483.50.90, 

8483.90.20, 8483.90.30, 8483.90.70, 

8708.50.50, 8708.60.50, 8708.60.80, 

8708.93.30, 8708.93.60.00, 8708.99.06, 

8708.99.31.00, 8708.99.40.00, 

8708.99.49.60, 8708.99.58, 

8708.99.80.15, 8708.99.80.80, 

8803.10.00, 8803.20.00, 8803.30.00, 

8803.90.30, and 8803.90.90. 

As a result of changes to the HTSUS, 

effective February 2, 2007, the subject 

merchandise is also classifiable under 

the following additional HTSUS item 

numbers: 8708.30.50.90, 8708.40.75, 

8708.50.79.00, 8708.50.89.00, 

8708.50.91.50, 8708.50.99.00, 

8708.70.60.60, 8708.80.65.90, 

8708.93.75.00, 8708.94.75, 

8708.95.20.00, 8708.99.55.00, 

8708.99.68, 8708.99.81.80. 

Although the HTSUS item numbers 

above are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, the written 

descriptions of the scope of these orders 

remain dispositive. 

The size or precision grade of a 

bearing does not influence whether the 

bearing is covered by one of the orders. 

These orders cover all the subject 

bearings and parts thereof (inner race, 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
44820 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 167 / Monday, August 31, 2009 / Notices 

outer race, cage, rollers, balls, seals, 

shields, etc.) outlined above with 

certain limitations. With regard to 

finished parts, all such parts are 

included in the scope of these orders. 

For unfinished parts, such parts are 

included if they have been heat-treated 

or if heat treatment is not required to be 

performed on the part. Thus, the only 

unfinished parts that are not covered by 

these orders are those that will be 

subject to heat treatment after 

importation. The ultimate application of 

a bearing also does not influence 

whether the bearing is covered by the 

orders. Bearings designed for highly 

specialized applications are not 

excluded. Any of the subject bearings, 

regardless of whether they may 

ultimately be utilized in aircraft, 

automobiles, or other equipment, are 

within the scope of these orders. 

For a list of scope determinations 

which pertain to the orders, see the 

‘‘Memorandum to Laurie Parkhill’’ 

regarding scope determinations for the 

2007–08 reviews, dated April 21, 2009, 

which is on file in the Central Records 

Unit (CRU) of the main Department of 

Commerce building, Room 1117, in the 

General Issues record (A–100–001). 

Analysis of the Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case briefs by 

parties to the current administrative 

reviews of the antidumping duty orders 

on ball bearings and parts thereof are 

addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum’’ (Decision Memo) from 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary John 

M. Andersen to Acting Deputy Assistant 

Secretary Carole A. Showers dated 

August 25, 2009, which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. A list of the 

issues which parties have raised and to 

which we have responded is in the 

Decision Memo and attached to this 

notice as an Appendix. The Decision 

Memo, which is a public document, is 

on file in the CRU of the main 

Department of Commerce building, 

Room 1117, and is accessible on the 

Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/ 

index.html. The paper copy and 

electronic version of the Decision Memo 

are identical in content. 

Revocation of an Order in Part 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

preliminarily determined that Gebru ̈der 

Reinfurt GmbH & Co., KG (GRW), 

qualifies for revocation from the order 

on ball bearings and parts thereof from 

Germany pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.222(b)(2)(i). Accordingly, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.222(b)(2)(ii), we preliminarily 

determined to revoke the order with 

respect to ball bearings and parts thereof 

from Germany exported and/or sold by 

GRW to the United States. 

We have received comments 

concerning our intent to revoke the 

order on ball bearings and parts thereof 

from Germany exported and/or sold by 

GRW to the United States. See the 

Decision Memo at Comment 2 for 

further discussion of this issue. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.222(b)(2)(ii), we are revoking the 

order on ball bearings and parts thereof 

from Germany exported and/or sold by 

GRW to the United States, effective May 

1, 2008. 

Selection of Respondents 

Due to the large number of companies 

in the reviews and the resulting 

administrative burden to review each 

company for which a request had been 

made and not withdrawn, the 

Department exercised its statutory 

authority under section 777A(c)(2) of 

the Act to limit the number of 

respondents selected for the reviews. 

Based on our analysis of the responses 

and our available resources, we chose 

certain companies for individual 

examination of their sales of the subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the period of review. For a detailed 

discussion on the selection of 

respondents for individual examination, 

see Preliminary Results, 74 FR at 19057. 

For the final results, we have not 

changed the source of the rates we 

applied to respondents not selected for 

individual examination. See 

Preliminary Results, 74 FR at 19507–08. 

Because the margin for SKF Italy 

changed for the final results, we applied 

the final margin for SKF Italy to 

Schaeffler Italia S.r.L. (formerly FAG 

Italia S.p.A.), which is the sole Italian 

respondent not selected for individual 

examination. For discussions of the 

issues involving the rates for nonselected respondents, see the Decision 

Memo at Comment 13. 

Adverse Facts Available 

Two of the respondents we selected 

for individual examination, Edwards 

Ltd./Edwards High Vacuum Int’l Ltd. 

(Edwards Japan) of Japan and myonic 

GmbH (myonic) of Germany, did not 

provide responses to our questionnaire 

other than their responses to our 

quantity-and-value questionnaire. 

Because these two companies did not 

respond to our questionnaire fully, they 

failed to cooperate by not acting to the 

best of their ability and we could not 

complete the administrative reviews of 

these two companies. See Preliminary 

Results, 74 FR at 19058–59. We received 

no comments on our preliminary 

decision to apply adverse facts available 

to these companies. For our final 

results, we have based their margins on 

facts available with an adverse inference 

in accordance with section 776 of the 

Act. 

As facts available with an adverse 

inference for these non-responsive 

companies, we have selected the rates of 

70.41 percent for Germany and 73.55 

percent for Japan. We corroborated these 

rates in accordance with section 776(c) 

of the Act. Id. 

Sales Below Cost in the Home Market 

The Department disregarded homemarket sales that failed the cost-ofproduction test for the following firms 

for these final results of reviews: 

Country Company 

France ................................................................................... SKF France S.A. and SKF Aerospace France S.A.S. (SKF France) 

Germany ............................................................................... GRW 

Schaeffler KG 

Italy ....................................................................................... SKF Industrie S.p.A./Somecat S.p.A. (SKF Italy) 

United Kingdom .................................................................... Barden/Schaeffler UK 

SKF (U.K.) Limited (SKF UK) 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of comments 

received and based on our own analysis 

of the Preliminary Results, we have 

made revisions that have changed the 

results for certain firms. We have 

corrected programming and ministerial 

errors in the margins we included in the 

Preliminary Results, where applicable. 

A detailed discussion of each correction 

we made is in the company-specific 

analysis memoranda which are on file 

in the CRU of the main Department of 

Commerce building, Room 1117.

Final Results of the Reviews 

We determine that the following 

percentage weighted-average dumping 

margins on ball bearings and parts 

thereof exist for the period May 1, 2007, 

through April 30, 2008:

Assessment Rates 

The Department will determine and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries. We intend to 

issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of these final results of 

reviews. In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), we have calculated, 

whenever possible, an importer/ 

customer-specific assessment rate or 

value for subject merchandise. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties). This clarification 

will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the period of 

review produced by companies 

included in these final results of 

reviews for which the reviewed 

companies did not know their 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States. In such instances, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 

entries at the all-others rate if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction. For a full 

discussion of this clarification, see 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties. 

For the responsive companies which 

were not selected for individual review, 

we will instruct CBP to apply the rates 

listed above to all entries of subject 

merchandise that were produced and/or 

exported by such firms. 

For companies for which we are 

relying on total adverse facts available 

to establish a dumping margin, we will 

instruct CBP to apply the assigned 

dumping margins to all entries of 

subject merchandise during the period 

of review that were produced and/or 

exported by the companies. 

Export Price 

With respect to export-price (EP) 

sales, we divided the total dumping 

margins (calculated as the difference 

between normal value and the EP) for 

each exporter’s importer or customer by 

the total number of units the exporter 

sold to that importer or customer. We 

will direct CBP to assess the resulting 

per-unit dollar amount against each unit 

of merchandise on each of that 

importer’s or customer’s entries under 

the relevant order during the period of 

review. 

Constructed Export Price 

For constructed export-price (CEP) 

sales, we divided the total dumping 

margins for the reviewed sales by the 

total entered value of those reviewed 

sales for each importer. We will direct 

CBP to assess the resulting percentage 

margin against the entered customs 

values for the subject merchandise on 

each of that importer’s entries under the 

relevant order during the period of 

review. See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

Cash-Deposit Requirements 

To calculate the cash-deposit rate for 

each respondent, i.e., each exporter and/ 

or manufacturer included in these 

reviews, we divided the total dumping 

margins for each company by the total 

net value of that company’s sales of 

merchandise during the period of 

review subject to each order. 

To derive a single deposit rate for 

each respondent, we weight-averaged 

the EP and CEP deposit rates (using the 

EP and CEP, respectively, as the 

weighting factors). To accomplish this 

when we sampled CEP sales (see 

Preliminary Results, 74 FR at 19060), we 

first calculated the total dumping 

margins for all CEP sales during the 

period of review by multiplying the 

sample CEP margins by the ratio of total 

days in the period of review to days in 

the sample weeks. We then calculated a 

total net value for all CEP sales during 

the period of review by multiplying the 

sample CEP total net value by the same 

ratio. Finally, we divided the combined 

total dumping margins for both EP and 

CEP sales by the combined total value 

for both EP and CEP sales to obtain the 

deposit rate. 

We will direct CBP to collect the 

resulting percentage deposit rate against 

the entered customs value of each of the 

exporter’s entries of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. Entries of parts incorporated into 

finished bearings before sales to an 

unaffiliated customer in the United 

States will receive the respondent’s 

deposit rate applicable to the order. 

Furthermore, the following deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of this notice of final results 

of administrative reviews for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication, consistent with section 

751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cashdeposit rates for the reviewed 

companies will be the rates shown 

above except that, for firms whose 

weighted-average margins are less than 

0.5 percent and therefore de minimis, 

the Department shall not require a 

deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties; (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above, 

the cash-deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation 

but the manufacturer is, the cashdeposit rate will be the rate established 

for the most recent period for the 

manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash-deposit rate for all other 

manufacturers or exporters will 

continue to be the all-others rate for the 

relevant order made effective by the 

final results of review published on July 

26, 1993. See Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Revocation in Part of an 

Antidumping Duty Order, 58 FR 39729 

(July 26, 1993). For ball bearings from 

Italy, see Antifriction Bearings (Other 

Than Tapered Roller Bearings) and 

Parts Thereof from France, et al.; Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Partial

rates from the relevant LTFV 

investigation. 

These deposit requirements shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this period of review. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding APOs 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

notification of the destruction of APO 

materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and the terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

Grant of Authority; Establishment of a 

Foreign-Trade Zone, Lansing, MI 

Pursuant to its authority under the 

Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 18, 

1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) adopts the following Order: 

Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones 

(FTZ) Act provides for ‘‘* * * the 

establishment * * * of foreign-trade 

zones in ports of entry of the United 

States, to expedite and encourage 

foreign commerce, and for other 

purposes,’’ and authorizes the ForeignTrade Zones Board to grant to qualified 

corporations the privilege of 

establishing foreign-trade zones in or 

adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) ports of entry; 

Whereas, the Capital Region Airport 

Authority (the Grantee) has made 

application to the Board (FTZ Docket 

52–2008, filed 10/1/08), requesting the 

establishment of a foreign-trade zone in 

Lansing, Michigan, at the Capital Region

designated as a CBP user fee port facility 

on January 22, 2008; 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment has been given in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 58930, 10/8/08), and the 

application has been processed 

pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board’s 

regulations; and, 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiner’s report, and finds that the 

requirements of the FTZ Act and 

Board’s regulations are satisfied, and 

that approval of the application is in the 

public interest; 

Now, therefore, the Board hereby 

grants to the Grantee the privilege of 

establishing a foreign-trade zone,
