SUMMARY: On September 26, 1995, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published the preliminary results of its administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and 
parts thereof, finished and unfinished (TRBs), from the People's 
Republic of China (PRC) (60 FR 49572). The period of review (POR) is 
June 1, 1993, through May 31, 1994. Based on three years of sales at 
not less than foreign market value, we intend to revoke the order with 
respect to one company if the preliminary results of this and the two 
preceding reviews are affirmed in our final results.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 13, 1996.

    The Department is conducting this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

existed on December 31, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 26, 1995, the Department published the preliminary 
results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished 
(TRBs), from the People's Republic of China (PRC) (60 FR 49572). The 
POR is June 1, 1993 through May 31, 1994.
    For a detailed description of the products covered by this review, 
please see the notice of preliminary results referenced above.

Intent To Revoke

    Shanghai General Bearing Company (Shanghai) requested, pursuant to 
19 CFR 353.25(b), revocation of the order with respect to its sales of 
the merchandise in question and submitted the certification required by 
19 CFR 353.25(b)(1). In addition, in accordance with 19 CFR 
353.25(a)(2)(iii), Shanghai has agreed in writing to its immediate 
reinstatement in the order, as long as any producer or reseller is 
subject to the order, if the Department concludes under 19 CFR 
353.22(f) that Shanghai, subsequent to revocation, sold merchandise at 
less than FMV. Based on the preliminary results in this review and the 
two preceding reviews (see Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, 
Finished and Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China; 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Reviews, 60 FR 44302 
(August 25, 1995)), Shanghai has demonstrated three consecutive years 
of sales at not less than foreign market value (FMV).
    If the final results of this and the two preceding reviews 
demonstrate that Shanghai sold the merchandise at not less than FMV, 
and if the Department determines that it is not likely that Shanghai 
will sell the subject merchandise at less than FMV in the future, we 
intend to revoke the order with respect to merchandise produced and 
exported by Shanghai.
    Interested parties may submit written comments (case briefs) within 
15 days of the date of publication of this notice. Rebuttal comments 
(rebuttal briefs), which must be limited to issues raised in the case 
briefs, may be filed no later than 19 days after the date of 
publication.
    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 notice of preliminary 
results. Those deposit requirements will be effective upon publication 
of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of 
the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act, and will remain in effect until 
publication of the final results of the next administrative review.
    This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.22.

    Dated: March 4, 1996.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
