[[Page 31143]] 

SUMMARY: On February 28, 1995, the Department of Commerce (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 (AFBs) from Germany and 
Italy (60 FR 10900, 10959). On May 10, 1995, the Court of International 
Trade (CIT) ordered the Department to correct four ministerial errors 
in the final results with respect to AFBs from Germany sold by FAG and 
one ministerial error in the final results with respect to AFBs from 
Italy sold by FAG. Accordingly, we are amending our final results of 
administrative review of the antidumping duty orders on AFBs from 
Germany and Italy with respect to FAG. The reviews cover the period May 
1, 1992, through April 30, 1993. The ``classes or kinds'' of 
merchandise covered by these reviews are ball bearings and parts 
thereof (BBs), cylindrical roller bearings and parts thereof (CRBs), 
and spherical plain bearings and parts thereof (SPBs).

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 13, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 28, 1995, the Department published the final results of 
antidumping duty administrative review, partial termination, and 
revocation in part of the antidumping duty orders on antifriction 
bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts thereof from 
France, et al. (60 FR 10900), and from Italy (60 FR 10959). The review 
period is May 1, 1992, through April 30, 1993. The classes or kinds of 
merchandise covered by these reviews are BBs, CRBs, and SPBs. For a 
detailed description of the products covered under these classes or 
kinds of merchandise, including a compilation of all pertinent scope 
determinations, see the ``Scope Appendix'' of the final results 
referenced above.
    One respondent, FAG, challenged the final results before the CIT, 
alleging ministerial errors in the final results for AFBs from Germany 
and Italy. On May 10, 1995, the CIT ordered the Department to correct 
the errors and publish the amended final results in the Federal 
Register.

Amended Final Results of Review

    The CIT ordered the Department to make the following corrections to 
its analysis for FAG Germany: (1) Calculate the profit on home market 
sales to related parties, and, where the profit is not significantly 
less than the profit on sales to unrelated parties, use the profit for 
the class or kind as reported by FAG; (2) in the calculation of profit 
for constructed value, deduct certain home market expenses from the net 
unit price; (3) make an addition of other revenue to the unit price 
prior to applying the best information available (BIA) rate to unit 
price; and (4) with respect to both FAG Germany and FAG Italy, remove 
sales FAG made to one U.S. customer for whom rebates were correctly 
reported prior to applying the BIA rebate rate. We have corrected the 
ministerial errors in FAG's margin calculations for the amended final 
results of review for the period May 1, 1992, through April 30, 1993.
    Based on the correction of the ministerial errors in our 
calculations for FAG, we have determined that the following percentage 
weighted-average margins exist for the period May 1, 1992, through 
April 30, 1993:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Manufacturer/exporter           Country            BBs    CRBs    SPBs 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAG....................  Germany................   11.85   16.25   18.98
FAG....................  Italy..................    2.70     (*)  ......
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* No U.S. sales during the review period.                               

    Based on these results, the Department will instruct 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 these reviews. These 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 review.
    This notice serves as a 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 the review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping occurred and the subsequent assessment of 
double antidumping duties.
    This amendment of final results of review and notice are in 
accordance with section 751(f) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1673(d)) 
and 19 CFR 353.28(c).

    Dated: June 6, 1995.
Paul L. Joffe,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
