These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Effective the publication date of these 

preliminary results, we will instruct 

CBP to suspend liquidation and collect 

a cash deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise 

produced or exported by Somecat at the 

weighted–average margin we have 

calculated for the preliminary results of 

review for SKF Italy. 

Notification to Importer 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 review 

period. 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. 

These preliminary results of 

administrative reviews are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

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

Dated: April 30, 2008.

Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from 

Germany: Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Changed–

Circumstances Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On March 11, 2008, pursuant 

to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.216 and 351.221(c)(3), the 

Department of Commerce initiated a 

changed–circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on ball bearings 

and parts thereof from Germany with 

respect to myonic GmbH. See Initiation 

of Antidumping Duty Changed–

Circumstances Review: Ball Bearings 

and Parts Thereof from Germany, 73 FR 

12953 (March 11, 2008) (myonic 

Initiation). After reviewing information 

on the record, we have preliminarily 

concluded that myonic GmbH is the 

successor–in-interest to 

Miniaturkugellager Gesellschaft mit 

beschra ̈nkter Haftung and, as a result, 

should be accorded the same treatment 

previously accorded Miniaturkugellager 

Gesellschaft mit beschra ̈nkter Haftung 

with regard to the antidumping duty 

order on ball bearings and parts thereof 

from Germany. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 7, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 31, 2008, myonic GmbH 

(myonic) asked the Department to 

initiate and conduct a changed–

circumstances review to confirm that 

myonic is the successor–in-interest to 

Miniaturkugellager Gesellschaft mit 

beschra ̈nkter Haftung (MKL) for 

purposes of determining antidumping–

duty liabilities subject to this order. On 

March 11, 2008, we initiated a changed–

circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on ball bearings 

and parts thereof from Germany with 

respect to myonic. See myonic 

Initiation. On March 13, 2008, we sent 

myonic a supplemental questionnaire 

requesting further information. On 

March 24, 2008, we received a timely 

response to our supplemental 

questionnaire. On March 27, 2008, we 

sent myonic a second supplemental 

questionnaire. On April 8, 2008, we 

received a timely response to our 

second supplemental questionnaire. We 

have not received comments from any 

other interested parties. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are ball bearings and parts thereof. 

These products include all 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 Schedules of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 

3926.90.45, 4016.93.00, 4016.93.10,

8803.30.00, 8803.90.30, and 8803.90.90. 

As a result of recent changes to the 

HTS, effective February 2, 2007, the 

subject merchandise is also classifiable 

under the following additional HTS 

item numbers: 8708.30.5090, 

8708.40.7500, 8708.50.7900,

and 8708.99.8180. 

Successor–in-Interest Determination 

In a changed–circumstances review 

involving a successor–in-interest 

determination, the Department typically 

examines several factors including, but 

not limited to, changes in the following: 

(1) management; (2) production 

facilities; (3) supplier relationships; (4) 

customer base. See Certain Cut–toLength Carbon Steel Plate from 

Romania: Initiation and Preliminary 

Results of Changed Circumstances 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 70 FR 22847 (May 3, 2005). 

While no single factor or combination of 

factors will necessarily be dispositive, 

generally the Department will consider 

the new company to be the successor to 

the predecessor if the resulting 

operations are essentially the same as 

those of the predecessor company. See, 

e.g., Notice of Initiation of Antidumping 

Duty Changed Circumstances Review: 

Certain Forged Stainless Steel Flanges 

from India, 71 FR 327 (January 4, 2006). 

Thus, if the record demonstrates that, 

with respect to the production and sale 

of the subject merchandise, the new 

company operates as the same business 

entity as the predecessor company, the 

Department may assign the new 

company the cash–deposit rate of its 

predecessor. See, e.g., Fresh and Chilled 

Atlantic Salmon from Norway: Final 

Results of Changed Circumstances

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 64 FR 9979, 9980 (March 1, 

1999). 

In its January 31, 2008, submission, 

myonic provided information to 

demonstrate that myonic is the 

successor–in-interest to MKL. Myonic 

submitted a notarized copy of the 

minutes from the December 11, 2001, 

meeting of myonic’s shareholders 

memorializing the name change from 

MKL to myonic. See exhibit D of 

myonic’s January 31, 2008, submission. 

Myonic also submitted its Articles of 

Association demonstrating that myonic 

continued to produce and market 

subject merchandise after the name 

change. See exhibit E of myonic’s 

January 31, 2008, submission. Further, 

myonic provided a letter it sent to its 

customers informing them of the name 

change and that the company’s 

production of subject merchandise 

would continue. See exhibit F of 

myonic’s January 31, 2008, submission. 

Myonic also submitted its June 19, 2006, 

Articles of Association demonstrating 

that on June 1, 2006, all stock of myonic 

was purchased by myonic Holding 

GmbH. See exhibit G of myonic’s 

January 31, 2008, submission. 

Additional information in myonic’s 

March 24, 2008, and April 8, 2008, 

submissions shows that myonic’s 

management, production facilities, 

suppliers, and customer base are 

consistent with those of MKL. As such, 

we conclude that myonic’s request for a 

changed–circumstances review 

demonstrates that no major changes 

have occurred with respect to MKL’s 

management, production facilities, 

suppliers, or customer base as a result 

of MKL’s name change to myonic or the 

purchase of all of myonic’s stock by 

myonic Holding GmbH. Therefore, we 

preliminarily find that myonic is the 

successor–in-interest to MKL and, as 

such, is entitled to MKL’s cash–deposit 

rate with respect to entries of subject 

merchandise.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: On February 29, 2008, 

Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM) 

(respondent) requested that the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) conduct an administrative 

review of the countervailing duty order 

on certain cut–to-length carbon–quality 

steel plate from Korea with respect to 

DSM for the period of January 1, 2007, 

through December 31, 2007. 

On March 31, 2008, the Department 

initiated the review. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, Request for 

Revocation in Part, and Deferral of 

Administrative Review, 73 FR 16837 

(March 31, 2008). On April 4, 2008, 

DSM withdrew its request for a review 

pursuant to section 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). 

Scope of Order 

The products covered by this order 

are certain hot–rolled carbon–quality 

steel: (1) universal mill plates (i.e., flat–

rolled products rolled on four faces or 

in a closed box pass, of a width 

exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding 

1250 mm, and of a nominal or actual 

thickness of not less than 4 mm, which 

are cut–to–length (not in coils) and 

without patterns in relief), of iron or 

non–alloy–quality steel; and (2) flat–

rolled products, hot–rolled, of a 

nominal or actual thickness of 4.75 mm 

or more and of a width which exceeds 

150 mm and measures at least twice the 

thickness, and which are cut–to–length 

(not in coils). Steel products to be 

included in the scope of the order are 

of rectangular, square, circular or other 

shape and of rectangular or non–

rectangular cross–section where such 

non–rectangular cross–section is 

achieved subsequent to the rolling 

process (i.e., products which have been 

‘‘worked after rolling’’)––for example, 

products which have been beveled or 

rounded at the edges. Steel products 

that meet the noted physical 

characteristics that are painted, 

varnished or coated with plastic or other 

non–metallic substances are included 

within this scope. Also, specifically 

included in the scope of the order are 

high strength, low alloy (HSLA) steels. 

HSLA steels are recognized as steels 

with micro–alloying levels of elements 

such as chromium, copper, niobium, 

titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum. 

Steel products to be included in this 

scope, regardless of Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

definitions, are products in which: (1) 

iron predominates, by weight, over each 

of the other contained elements; (2) the 

carbon content is two percent or less, by 

weight; and (3) none of the elements 

listed below is equal to or exceeds the 

quantity, by weight, respectively 

indicated: 1.80 percent of manganese, or 

1.50 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent 

of copper, or 0.50 percent of aluminum, 

or 1.25 percent of chromium, or 0.30 

percent of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of 

lead, or 1.25 percent of nickel, or 0.30 

percent of tungsten, or 0.10 percent of 

molybdenum, or 0.10 percent of 

niobium, or 0.41 percent of titanium, or 

0.15 percent of vanadium, or 0.15 

percent zirconium. All products that 

meet the written physical description, 

and in which the chemistry quantities 

do not equal or exceed any one of the 

levels listed above, are within the scope
