SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 7, 2023, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register the Preliminary 

Results 1 of the 2021–2022 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on TRBs 

from China 2 and invited interested 

parties to comment.3 Subsequent to the 

Preliminary Results, we received a case 

brief from Tainai and a rebuttal brief 

from the Timken Company (the 

petitioner).4 On October 6, 2023, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), Commerce extended the deadline 

for issuing these final results until 

January 3, 2024.5 For a complete 

description of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.6

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is tapered roller bearings and 

parts thereof, finished and unfinished, 

from China. A full description of the 

scope of the Order is contained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.7

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in case and rebuttal 

briefs filed by parties in this 

administrative review are addressed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

and are listed in the appendix to this 

notice. The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

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. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, and for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

we made certain changes to the margin 

calculations for Tainai and updated the 

rate assigned to the non-examined, 

separate-rate respondent, Zhejiang Jingli 

Bearing Technology Co., Ltd. (Jingli).8

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate 

Respondent 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

determined that Jingli demonstrated its 

eligibility for a separate rate. We did not 

receive any comments or argument 

since the issuance of the Preliminary 

Results that provide a basis for 

reconsideration of this determination. 

Therefore, for these final results, we 

continue to find that Jingli is eligible for 

a separate rate. 

The statute and our regulations do not 

address the establishment of a rate to be

assigned to respondents not selected for 

individual examination when we limit 

our examination of companies subject to 

the administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act. 

Generally, we look to section 735(c)(5) 

of the Act, which provides instructions 

for calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for respondents not 

individually examined in an 

administrative review. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ Accordingly, 

in the final results of review, we are 

assigning to Jingli, the estimated 

weighted-average margin calculated for 

Tainai, the sole mandatory respondent 

in this review. 

Final Results of Review 

For the companies subject to this 

review that established their eligibility 

for a separate rate, Commerce 

determines that the following estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist for the period June 1, 2021, 

through May 31, 2022: 

Exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

Zhejiang Jingli Bearing Technology Co., Ltd ........................ 24.78 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these final results of review to 

interested parties within five days after 

public announcement of the final results 

or, if there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of the notice of final results 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

China-Wide Entity 

In the Preliminary Results, we found 

that C&U Group Shanghai Bearing Co., 

Ltd. (C&U Group), Hangzhou C&U 

Automotive Bearing Co., Ltd. (C&U 

Automotive), Hangzhou C&U Metallurgy 

Bearing Co., Ltd. (C&U Metallurgy), 

Huangshi C&U Bearing Co., Ltd. 

(Huangshi C&U), and Sichuan C&U 

Bearing Co., Ltd. (Sichuan C&U) failed 

to rebut de facto and de jure control by 

the Government of China.9 We received 

no comments on this decision for these 

final results. Accordingly, we continue 

to find that C&U Group, C&U 

Automotive, C&U Metallurgy, Huangshi 

C&U, and Sichuan C&U are not eligible 

for a separate rate and are, therefore, 

part of the China-wide entity. 

Under Commerce’s current policy 

regarding the conditional review of the 

China-wide entity, the China-wide 

entity will not be under review unless 

a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

entity.10 Because no party requested a 

review of the China-wide entity in this 

review, the entity is not under review, 

and the entity’s rate is not subject to 

change (i.e., 92.84 percent).11

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce intends to determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protections 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. 

For Tainai, Commerce will calculate 

importer-specific assessment rates for 

antidumping duties, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where the 

respondent reported reliable entered 

values, Commerce intends to calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates by aggregating the 

amount of dumping calculated for all 

U.S. sales to the importer and dividing 

this amount by the total entered value 

of the merchandise sold to the 

importer.12 Where the respondent did 

not report entered values, Commerce 

will calculate importer-specific 

assessment rates by dividing the amount 

of dumping for reviewed sales to the 

importer by the total quantity of those 

sales. Commerce will calculate an 

estimated ad valorem importer-specific 

assessment rate to determine whether 

the per-unit assessment rate is de 

minimis; however, Commerce will use 

the per-unit assessment rate where 

entered values were not reported.13

Where an importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is not zero or de 

minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

collect the appropriate duties at the time 

of liquidation. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

For Jingli, the non-selected separate 

rate respondent, we will direct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties at a rate 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin determined for Tainai in these 

final results. 

Commerce determined that C&U 

Group, C&U Automotive, C&U 

Metallurgy, Huangshi C&U, and Sichuan 

C&U did not qualify for a separate rate. 

Therefore, we will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on entries of 

subject merchandise from these entities 

at 92.84 percent, the established 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the China-wide entity. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for shipments of 

the subject merchandise from China 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for the companies 

subject to this review will be the rate 

established in the final results of this 

review; (2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 

exporters not listed above that currently 

have a separate rate, the cash deposit 

rate will continue to be the exporterspecific rate published for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding where the exporter received 

that separate rate; (3) for all Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate for the China-wide entity, 

92.84 percent; 14 and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not received 

their own separate rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. 

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, 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)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

has occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

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(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or 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 subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce to allow, 

upon request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and either regulations are 

issued or, if the taking is limited to 

harassment, a notice of a proposed 

authorization is provided to the public 

for review. 

An authorization for incidental 

takings shall be granted if NMFS finds 

that the taking will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stock(s), will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses (where 

relevant), and if the permissible 

methods of taking and requirements 

pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring 

and reporting of such takings are set 

forth. NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible 

impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact 

resulting from the specified activity that 

cannot be reasonably expected to, and is 

not reasonably likely to, adversely affect 

the species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival. 

Except with respect to certain 

activities not pertinent here, the MMPA 

defines ‘‘harassment’’ as: any act of 

pursuit, torment, or annoyance which: 

(i) has the potential to injure a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has 

the potential to disturb a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild by causing disruption of behavioral 

patterns, including, but not limited to, 

migration, breathing, nursing, breeding, 

feeding, or sheltering (Level B 

harassment). 

On January 19, 2021, we issued a final 

rule with regulations to govern the 

unintentional taking of marine 

mammals incidental to geophysical 

survey activities conducted by oil and 

gas industry operators, and those 

persons authorized to conduct activities 

on their behalf (collectively ‘‘industry 

operators’’), in U.S. waters of the GOM 

over the course of 5 years (86 FR 5322, 

January 19, 2021). The rule was based 

on our findings that the total taking 

from the specified activities over the 5- 

year period will have a negligible 

impact on the affected species or 

stock(s) of marine mammals and will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of those species or 

stocks for subsistence uses. The rule 

became effective on April 19, 2021. 

Our regulations at 50 CFR 217.180 et 

seq. allow for the issuance of LOAs to 

industry operators for the incidental 

take of marine mammals during 

geophysical survey activities and 

prescribe the permissible methods of 

taking and other means of effecting the 

least practicable adverse impact on 

marine mammal species or stocks and 

their habitat (often referred to as 

mitigation), as well as requirements 

pertaining to the monitoring and 

reporting of such taking. Under 50 CFR 

217.186(e), issuance of an LOA shall be 

based on a determination that the level 

of taking will be consistent with the 

findings made for the total taking 

allowable under these regulations and a 

determination that the amount of take
