Antifriction Bearings (Other Than Tapered Roller Bearings) and 
Parts Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Sweden, 
Thailand, and the United Kingdom; Amended Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Reviews

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

ACTION:  Notice of amended final results of antidumping duty 
administrative reviews.

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

SUMMARY: On November 15, 2000, the Department of Commerce published the 
amended final results of administrative reviews of the antidumping duty 
orders on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) 
and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, 
Sweden, Thailand, and the United Kingdom (see 65 FR 68974). The classes 
or kinds of merchandise covered by these reviews are ball bearings and 
parts thereof, cylindrical roller bearings and parts thereof, and 
spherical plain bearings and parts thereof. The period of review is May 
1, 1993, through April 30, 1994. Subsequent to publication of these 
results, we found that one matter, relating to the reviews of the 
orders on antifriction bearings and parts thereof from Germany, remains 
pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal 
Circuit and that, consequently, the amended results do not reflect the 
final results of review for the respondent-company FAG Kugelfischer 
Georg Schaefer AG.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 19, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edythe Artman or Richard Rimlinger, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.,

Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), are references to the provisions in 
effect as of December 31, 1994. In addition, unless otherwise 
indicated, all citations to the Department of Commerce's (the 
Department's) regulations are to the regulations as codified at 19 CFR 
part 353 (1995).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 15, 2000, the Department of Commerce published the 
amended final results of administrative reviews of the antidumping duty 
orders on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) 
and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, 
Sweden, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. The classes or kinds of 
merchandise covered by these reviews are ball bearings and parts 
thereof, cylindrical roller bearings and parts thereof, and spherical 
plain bearings and parts thereof. The period of review is May 1, 1993, 
through April 30, 1994.

[[Page 79342]]

    In our notice of amended final results, we stated that all 
litigation pertaining to the results of the reviews was final and 
conclusive. This statement was erroneous; one matter relating to the 
administrative reviews of the orders on antifriction bearings and parts 
thereof from Germany remains pending before the United States Court of 
Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). This matter concerns the final 
results of review for one respondent, FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schaefer 
AG (FAG Germany). Hence, the results for FAG Germany that we published 
in our notice of amended final results do not reflect the final results 
for this company. We will not instruct the U.S. Customs service to 
liquidate entries for this company until all final and conclusive 
action has been taken on the pending matter and after we have published 
amended final results of review for this respondent.

Amendment to Final Results

    The amended final results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on antifriction bearings (other than tapered 
roller bearings) and parts thereof from Germany that we published in a 
notice of amended final results of review on November 15, 2000, do not 
reflect the final results for the respondent-company FAG Germany.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act.

    Dated: December 11, 2000.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
