 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
 SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Shanghai Tainai Bearing Co., Ltd. (Tainai) sold tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, (TRBs) from the People's Republic of China (China) at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), June 1, 2019, through May 31, 2020. Additionally, Commerce determines that it is appropriate to rescind this administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on TRBs from China with respect to BRTEC Wheel Hub Bearing Co., Ltd. (BRTEC) and Zhejiang Jingli Bearing Technology Co. Ltd. (Jingli) because they had no 
                        *bona fide*
                         sales to the United States during the POR.
 DATES: Applicable January 10, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Commerce published the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     of the administrative review of the AD order [1]
                    
                     on July 8, 2021.2
                     Subsequent to the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     we received additional information from Tainai, as well as briefs from the Timken Company, Koyo Bearings North America LLC; Tainai, and Precision Components, Inc. On October 14, 2021, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the final results until January 4, 2022.3
                     For a complete description of the events that occurred since the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.4 Scope of the Order Merchandise covered by the order are tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from China; flange, take up cartridge, and hanger units incorporating tapered roller bearings; and tapered roller housings (except pillow blocks) incorporating tapered rollers, with or without spindles, whether or not for automotive use. These products are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers 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. Although the HTSUS item numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in interested parties' briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised by interested parties and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is provided in the appendix to this notice. The Issues and 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 
                    *http://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.* Partial Rescission of the Review We received no comments regarding our preliminary findings for BRTEC or Jingli. Thus, consistent with the 
                    *Preliminary results,*
                     we find that BRTEC and Jingli did not have 
                    *bona fide*
                     sales during the POR, and, therefore, we are rescinding this administrative review with respect to these companies. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our review of the record and comments received from interested 
                    ( print page 1121)
                    parties regarding our 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     we made certain revisions to the margin calculations for Tainai and to the rate assigned to the non-examined, separate-rate respondents.[5] Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents In the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     we determined that Hebei Xintai Bearing Forging Co., Ltd. (Hebei Xintai) and Xinchang Newsun Xintianlong Precision Bearing Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (XTL) demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate. We received no comments or argument since the issuance of the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     that provide a basis for reconsideration of these determinations. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that Hebei Xintai and XTL are eligible for a separate rate. Final Results of the Administrative Review For the companies subject to this review that established their eligibility for a separate rate, Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period June 1, 2019, through May 31, 2020: Exporter

 Disclosure Commerce will disclose calculations performed for these final results to interested parties under Administrative Protective Order within five days of the date of publication of this notice, 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) did not submit a separate rate application; therefore, it failed to rebut 
                    *de facto*
                     and 
                    *de jure*
                     control by the Government of China. We received no comments on this decision for our final results; thus, we continue to find that C&U Group is not eligible for a separate rate and is a 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.[6]
                    
                     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).[7] Assessment Rates Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.[8]
                    
                     Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    .[9]
                    
                     If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (
                    *i.e.,*
                     within 90 days of publication).[10] 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.[11]
                    
                     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.[12]
                    
                     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 Hebei Xintai and XTL, we will direct CBP to assess antidumping duties at a rate equal to the weighted-average dumping margin determined in the final results of this review. Commerce determined that C&U Group did not qualify for a separate rate. Therefore, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on C&U Group's entries of subject merchandise at 92.84 percent, the established weighted-average dumping margin for the China-wide entity. For BRTEC and Jingli, because Commerce is rescinding this administrative review for these two companies, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on their entries at the cash deposit rate at the time of entry. 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, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters listed above, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed China and non-China exporters not listed above that currently have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding where the exporter received that separate rate; (3) for all China 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; and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject merchandise which 
                    ( print page 1122)
                    have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporter that supplied that non-China exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also 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 Orders This notice also serves as a final 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(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 sanctionable violation. 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 351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1). Dated: January 4, 2022.
