Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On July 5, 1995, in SKF USA Inc. and SKF (U.K.) Limited v. 
United States, Slip Op. 95-122 (SKF-UK), the United States Court of 
International Trade (CIT) affirmed the Department of Commerce's (the 
Department) redetermination on remand of the final results of the 
second administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts 
thereof from France, et al., 57 FR 28360 (June 24, 1992) (AFBs II). The 
CIT had previously remanded the final results to the Department for the 
reconsideration of one issue for SKF-UK. The CIT has now entered final 
judgment on all issues. The results covered the period May 1, 1990 
through April 30, 1991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 20, 1995, the CIT in SKF-UK, Slip Op. 95-122, remanded 
AFBs II to the Department to apply the U.S. inland insurance rate to 
inventory value instead of to unit price. The Department submitted its 
results of redetermination pursuant to this remand order on April 25, 
1995. On July 5, 1995, in SKF-UK, the CIT affirmed the Department's 
results of remand and entered final judgment on all issues.
    In its decision in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F.2d 337 (Fed. 
Cir. 1990) (Timken), the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal 
Circuit held that, pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1516a(e), the Department must 
publish a notice of a court decision which is not ``in harmony'' with a 
Department determination, and must suspend liquidation of entries 
pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The CIT's decision on July 5, 
1995, constitutes a decision not in harmony with the Department's final 
results. Publication of this notice fulfills this obligation.
    Pursuant to the decision in Timken, the Department must continue 
the suspension of liquidation of entries pending the later of the 
expiration of the period for appeal or the conclusion of any appeal. 
Further, absent an appeal, or, if appealed, upon a ``conclusive'' court 
decision affirming the CIT's opinion, the Department will amend the 
final affirmative results of AFBs II to reflect the amended margins of 
the Department's redetermination on remand, which was affirmed by the 
CIT.

Dated: July 28, 1995.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
