Pursuant to Commerce’s change in practice, 

Commerce no longer considers the NME entity as 

an exporter conditionally subject to administrative 

reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: 

Announcement of Change in Department Practice 

for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 

Proceedings and Conditional Review of the 

Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping 

Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65970 (November 

4, 2013). Under this practice, the NME entity will 

not be under review unless a party specifically 

requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

entity. Because no party requested a review of the 

entity, the entity is not under review and the 

entity’s rate is not subject to change. 

2016. Because the revocation is 

retroactive to August 3, 2015, the 

periods covered by these ongoing 

administrative reviews are no longer 

subject to the CVD order, and there is no 

basis for conducting the administrative 

review. Therefore, Commerce is 

rescinding these administrative reviews. 

Assessment 

Because we ordered the liquidation of 

the entries subject to these 

administrative reviews, as a result of the 

revocation of the CVD order, there is no 

need to issue additional instructions to 

CBP. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 751 of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts 

Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results and Intent To 

Rescind the Review in Part; 2016–2017 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is conducting an 

administrative review (AR) of the 

antidumping duty order on tapered 

roller bearings and parts thereof, 

finished and unfinished (TRBs), from 

the People’s Republic of China (China). 

The AR covers 20 exporters, of which 

Commerce selected two exporters for 

individual examination (i.e., GGB 

Bearing Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. 

(GGB); and Luoyang Bearing 

Corporation (Group) (Luoyang)). The 

period of review (POR) is June 1, 2016, 

through May 31, 2017. We preliminarily 

determine that sales of subject 

merchandise have been made below 

normal value (NV). Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable July 12, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Andrew Medley, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 

(202) 482–4987. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

includes tapered roller bearings and 

parts thereof. The subject merchandise 

is currently classifiable under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 

8482.20.00, 8482.91.00.50, 8482.99.15, 

8482.99.45, 8483.20.40, 8483.20.80, 

8483.30.80, 8483.90.20, 8483.90.30, 

8483.90.80, 8708.70.6060, 8708.99.2300, 

8708.99.4850, 8708.99.6890, 

8708.99.8115, and 8708.99.8180. The 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes 

only; the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive.1

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Act. For GGB, we calculated 

export prices in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Because China is a nonmarket economy (NME) within the 

meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, 

for GGB, NV was calculated in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. We preliminary find that Luoyang 

is ineligible for a separate rate and is 

part of the China-wide entity. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov, and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be found at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The 

signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

A list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as the Appendix to this notice. 

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

Which Are Eligible for a Separate Rate 

As indicated in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Results of Review’’ section below, we 

preliminarily determine that a 

weighted-average dumping margin of 

6.87 percent applies to the six firms not 

selected for individual review which are 

eligible for a separate rate. For further 

information, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum at ‘‘Separate 

Rate Assigned to Non-Selected 

Companies.’’ 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Twelve companies involved in the 

administrative review did not 

demonstrate that they are entitled to a 

separate rate.2 Therefore, we 

preliminarily finds these companies to 

be part of the China-wide entity.3 The 

rate previously established for the 

China-wide entity is 92.84 percent. One 

additional company, Hangzhou 

Xiaoshan Dingli Machinery Co., Ltd. 

(Dingli), could not demonstrate that it 

had a suspended entry during the POR;

thus, we intend to rescind the review 

with respect to Dingli. 

We preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period June 1,

(i.e., in paper form) with the APO/ 

Dockets Unit in Room 18022 and 

stamped with the date and time of 

receipt by 5 p.m. ET on the due date.11

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of all issues raised in the case 

briefs, within 120 days of publication of 

these preliminary results, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

the administrative review, Commerce 

will determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.12 For 

each examined respondent which is 

eligible for a separate rate and which 

has a weighted-average dumping margin 

which is not zero or de minimis (i.e., 

less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the importer’s examined sales to the 

total entered value of those sales, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment 

practice, for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales data submitted 

by an examined respondent, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the China-wide rate. Additionally, if we 

determine that an exporter had no 

shipments of the subject merchandise, 

any suspended entries that entered 

under that exporter’s case number (i.e., 

at that exporter’s cash deposit rate) will 

be liquidated at the China-wide rate.13

For the respondents which were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review and which 

qualified for a separate rate, the 

assessment rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

determined for the non-examined 

respondents in the final results of this 

administrative review. For the final 

results, if we continue to treat the 12 

exporters preliminarily found not to 

qualify for separate rates as part of the 

China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP 

to apply an ad valorem assessment rate 

of 92.84 percent, the current rate 

established for the China-wide entity, to 

all entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR which were exported by 

those companies. In addition, if 

Commerce continues to find that Dingli 

had no suspended entries during the 

POR, we will rescind the review for that 

company.14

We intend to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication of the final results of these 

reviews. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the 

exporters listed above which have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review (except, if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, then a cash 

deposit rate of zero will be established 

for that company); (2) for previously

Notification to Importers 

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 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(l), 

751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that Daejin Steel Co. (Daejin), Koram 

Inc. (Koram), and Korea Wire Co., Ltd. 

(Kowire), producers/exporters of 

merchandise subject to this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 3, 2017, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty (AD) 

order on certain steel nails (steel nails) 

from Korea.1 On July 31, 2017, Daejin 2

and Kowire 3 each requested an 

administrative review, and Mid 

Continent Steel & Wire, Inc.4 (the 

petitioner) requested an administrative 

review of 206 producers and/or 

exporters, including Daejin, Koram, 

Koram Steel Co. Ltd., and Kowire. On 

September 28, 2017, the petitioner 

withdrew its administrative review 

request with respect to 202 of the 206 

companies identified as producers/ 

exporters in the petitioner’s July 31, 

2017 letter. The petitioner maintained 

its administrative review request with 

respect to: Daejin, Koram, Koram Steel 

Co. Ltd., and Kowire. As such, 

Commerce issued its AD questionnaire 

to these companies on October 10, 

2017.5

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Commerce received timely requests to 

conduct an administrative review of 

certain exporters covering the POR. 

Because the petitioner timely withdrew 

its request for review of all of the 

companies listed in the Initiation 

Notice, with the exception of Daejin, 

Koram, Koram Steel Co. Ltd., and 

Kowire, we are rescinding this 

administrative review with respect to 

the remaining companies on which we 

initiated a review pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). For a list of the 

companies for which we are rescinding 

this review, see Appendix II to this 

notice. 

As discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, we 

preliminarily determine that Koram is 

the successor-in-interest to Koram Steel 

Co. Ltd.; therefore, we will not calculate 

a separate dumping margin for Koram 

Steel Co., Ltd.6 Accordingly, the three 

companies subject to the instant review 

are: Daejin, Koram, and Kowire.
