SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Tariff Act), are references

to the provisions effective January 1,

1995, the effective date of the

amendments made to the Tariff Act by

citations to the Department’s regulations

Background

On October 17, 1997, the Department

published the final results of its

administrative reviews of the

antidumping duty orders on antifriction

bearings (other than tapered roller

bearings) and parts thereof from France,

Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania,

Singapore, Sweden, and the United

Kingdom (62 FR 54043). The review

covered 21 manufacturers/exporters and

the period May 1, 1995, through April

30, 1996. After publication of our final

results, we received timely allegations

from the petitioner and several

respondents that we had made

ministerial errors in calculating the final

results. We corrected our calculations,

where we agree that we made

ministerial errors, in accordance with

section 751(A) of the Tariff Act. See

company-specific analysis memoranda

for a description of the changes that we

made to correct the ministerial errors.

Amended Final Results of Reviews

calculations, the following weightedaverage percentage margins exist for the

period May 1, 1995, through April 30,

1This rate did not change as a result of the correction of ministerial errors.

The Department shall determine, and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. Because sampling and other

simplification methods prevent entryby-entry assessments, we have

calculated, wherever possible, an

exporter/importer-specific assessment

rate for each class or kind of AFBs. We

will also direct the Customs Service to

collect cash deposits of estimated

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries in accordance with the

procedures discussed in the final results

of review (62 FR 54043) and as amended

by this determination. The amended

deposit requirements are effective for all

shipments of the subject merchandise

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the date of

publication of this notice and shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

reviews.

This notice also serves as a final

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 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 Secretary’s

presumption that reimbursement of

antidumping duties occurred and the

subsequent assessment of double

antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective orders (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the return or

destruction of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 353.34(d) or conversion to

judicial protective order is hereby

requested. Failure to comply is a

violation of the APO.

These administrative reviews and this

notice are in accordance with section

751(a)(1) and (h) of the Tariff Act (19

U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.28.

Dated: November 13, 1997.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
