Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of amended final results of administrative review

SUMMARY: On July 12, 2001, the Department of Commerce published the 
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, Sweden, and the United 
Kingdom. Based on our analysis of a comment received, we are amending 
the final results of reviews of the antidumping duty order covering 
cylindrical roller bearings from Germany with respect to merchandise 
produced by INA Walzlager Schaeffler oHG.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 6, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), are references to the provisions in effect 
as of January 1, 1995. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all 
citations to the Department of Commerce's (the Department's) 
regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (2000).

Background

    On July 12, 2001, the Department published the final results of 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on antifriction 
bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts thereof (AFBs) 
from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (66 
FR 36551). We invited interested parties to comment on our final 
results. Based on a timely comment we received from a respondent, INA 
Walzlager Schaeffler oHG (INA), we are now amending the final results 
of review with respect to the order covering cylindrical roller 
bearings (CRBs) from Germany. The period of review (POR) for this order 
is May 1, 1999, through December 31, 1999.
    On July 11, 2001, we received a letter from INA stating that it had 
reviewed the Department's disclosure materials and found a ministerial 
error. Specifically, INA alleged that the Department in its final 
results inadvertently used the wrong variable in its computer program 
to identify whether INA's home-market customers are affiliated or 
unaffiliated. We reviewed INA's allegation and agree with INA; 
therefore, we are amending the final results of review for CRBs from 
Germany. For more information, see analysis memorandum from analyst to 
file dated August 9, 2001.

Amendment to Final Results

    We are now amending the final results of administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on CRBs from Germany for the period of 
review May 1, 1999, through December 31, 1999. As a result of this 
change, the weighted-average margin for INA changed from 2.96 percent 
to 2.82 percent. Accordingly, the Department will determine and the 
Customs Service will assess appropriate antidumping duties on entries 
of the subject merchandise exported by INA covered by this 
administrative review.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Act.

    Dated: August 10, 2001.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
