Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Amended Notice of Initiation and Rescission in Part for the 
1999-2000 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On July 31, 2000, in response to a request made by Wafangdian 
Bearing Group Corp. Import & Export Company, Zhejiang Machinery Import 
& Export Corp., Wanxiang Group Corporation, China National Machinery 
Import & Export Corporation, Liaoning MEC Group Co. Ltd., Luoyang 
Bearing Corp. (Group), Premier Bearing & Equipment Ltd., Tianshui 
Hailin Import and Export Corporation, Zhejiang Changshan Changhe 
Bearing Corp., and Weihai Machinery Holding (Group) Co., Ltd. and the 
petitioner, The Timken Company, the Department of Commerce published 
the notice of initiation of an antidumping duty administrative review 
on Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, 
From the People's Republic of China, for the period June 1, 1999, 
through May 31, 2000. This notice of initiation inadvertently omitted 
several companies for which a request for review had been made, and 
also included several companies for which a request for review had not 
been made. Thus, we are now rescinding this review in part for those 
companies which were inadvertently listed in the notice of initiation 
for which a review was not requested, and amending the notice of 
initiation to include in the review those companies which were omitted 
from the original initiation notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 10, 2000.

International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20230; telephone

amended (``the Act''), are references to the provisions effective 
January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act 
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``URAA''). In addition, all 
references to the Department of Commerce's (``the Department's'') 
regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (April 1999).

Background

    On June 26, 2000, Liaoning MEC Group Co. Ltd., Premier Bearing & 
Equipment Ltd., Tianshui Hailin Import and Export Corporation, Weihai 
Machinery Holding (Group) Co., Ltd. (``Weihai''), Wanxiang Group 
Corporation, and China National Machinery Import & Export Corporation 
requested administrative reviews for the period June 1, 1999, through 
May 31, 2000 (``POR''). On June 30, 2000, Zhejiang Machinery Import & 
Export Corp. (``ZMC''), Wafangdian Bearing Group Corp. Import & Export 
Company (``Wafangdian''), Luoyang Bearing Corp. (Group) (``Luoyang''), 
and Zhejiang Changshan Changhe Bearing Corp. (``ZCCBC''), also 
requested administrative reviews for the POR. On June 30, 2000, the 
petitioner, The Timken Company, also requested that the Department 
conduct an administrative review for the POR.
    On July 31, 2000, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of an antidumping duty administrative review on Tapered Roller Bearings 
and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, From the People's Republic 
of China, for the period June 1, 1999 through May 31, 2000. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 65 FR 46687 (July 31, 
2000).

Amended Notice of Initiation

    In its July 31, 2000, notice of initiation, the Department 
inadvertently omitted several companies from the notice of initiation 
for this proceeding. Because the Department has received timely 
requests, in accordance with Sec. 351.213(b) of the Department's 
regulations, for administrative reviews from the petitioner and all 
companies requesting reviews, as noted above, we are amending our July 
31, 2000, notice of initiation to include the following companies in 
accordance with Sec. 351.221(c)(1) of the Department's regulations: 
Weihai, Luoyang, ZCCBC, Wafangdian, ZMC, China National Bearing Joint 
Imp. & Exp. Corp. (CBEC), Dalian Machine Tools Parts Factory, Zhejiang 
Xinchang Bearing Factory, Hebei Rolling Bearing, Hebei Rolling Mill 
Bearing Group Company, Hunan Hengyang Bearing Factory, China Machine-
Building International Corp, Distribution Services Ltd. (Hong Kong), 
and Distribution Services Ltd. (Shanghai).
    Because we have found it necessary to amend the original notice of 
initiation, the date of initiation for all companies covered by this 
review, including those companies for which an administrative review 
was initiated pursuant to the original July 31, 2000, notice, will be 
the date of publication of this notice.

Rescission in Part of Review

    As noted above, several companies were also inadvertently included 
in the original July 31, 2000, notice of initiation for which no 
request for review was made. Because no request for review was made by 
any interested party in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act 
and Sec. 351.213(b) of the Department's regulations, we are rescinding 
this review in part in accordance with Sec. 351.213(d)(2) with respect
