SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 15, 1989, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty orders on ball 

bearings and SPBs and parts thereof 

from France (54 FR 20902), ball bearings 

and parts thereof from Singapore (54 FR 

20907), ball bearings and parts thereof 

from the United Kingdom (54 FR 

20910), and ball bearings and parts 

thereof from Japan (54 FR 20904). On 

May 2, 2005, the Department published 

a notice of opportunity to request a 

review of these orders for the period 

May 1, 2004, through April 30, 2005. 

See Notice of Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review of Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation, 70 FR 

22631 (May 2, 2005). On May 25, 2005, 

NSK Europe, Ltd., NSK Bearings Europe 

Ltd. and NSK Corporation (collectively, 

NSK), requested an administrative 

review of its exports of ball bearings 

from the United Kingdom. On May 26, 

2005, Asahi Seiko Co., Ltd. (Asahi), 

requested an administrative review of 

its exports of ball bearings from Japan. 

On May 27, 2005, NMB Singapore Ltd., 

Pelmec Industries (Pte.) Ltd. and NMB 

Technologies Corporation (collectively, 

NMB/Pelmec), requested an 

administrative review of their exports of 

ball bearings from Singapore. On May 

31, 2005, SKF USA Inc., a domestic 

producer and importer of the subject 

merchandise and SKF France S.A. and 

Sarma, producers and exporters of the 

subject merchandise (collectively, SKF), 

requested an administrative review of 

SKF’s exports of ball bearings and SPBs 

from France. Accordingly, the 

Department published a notice of 

initiation of these antidumping duty 

administrative reviews on June 30, 

2005, in accordance with section 751(a) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 as amended 

(the Act). See Notice of Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 37749 

(June 30, 2005). 

NSK submitted a letter to the 

Department on July 27, 2005, 

withdrawing its request for a review of 

its exports of ball bearings from the 

United Kingdom. NMB/Pelmec 

submitted a letter to the Department on 

September 23, 2005, withdrawing its 

request for a review of its exports of ball 

bearings from Singapore. Asahi 

submitted a letter to the Department on 

September 26, 2005, withdrawing its 

request for a review of its exports of ball 

bearings from Japan. Finally, SKF 

submitted a letter to the Department on 

August 22, 2005, withdrawing its 

request for a review of its exports of 

SPBs from France. 

Rescission of Administrative Reviews 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party withdraws its request 

for a review within 90 days of the date 

of publication of the notice of initiation 

of the requested review. NSK, NMB/ 

Pelmec, Asahi, and SKF withdrew their 

requests for review within 90 days of 

the date the initiation notice was 

published and no other party requested 

a review of these companies. There were 

no other requests for review of the 

orders on SPBs from France and ball 

bearings from Singapore. Therefore, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department is rescinding the reviews of 

the orders on SPBs from France and ball 

bearings from Singapore for the period 

May 1, 2004, through May 30, 2005. 

Because there are still ongoing reviews 

of the orders on ball bearings from the 

United Kingdom and ball bearings from 

Japan, the Department is rescinding
