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 December 31, 1994.

Background

    On February 11, 1997, the Department published the final results of 
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 covering the period June 1, 1994, through 
May 31, 1995. See Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished 
and Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China, Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 62 FR 6173 (February 11, 1997) 
(Final Results).
    The Timken Company contested the Department's decision in the Final 
Results. In issuing its decision in this case, the United States Court 
of International Trade (CIT) instructed the Department to make the 
following changes to its margin calculations for the Final Results: (1) 
Eliminate from the cost-of-manufacture calculation the category 
``purchases of traded goods'' and (2) recalculate marine insurance 
expense on a value rather than weight basis. See Timken Company v. 
United States, Court No. 97-01-00394, Slip Op. 99-73 (CIT July 30, 
1999). The Department issued final results of redetermination on remand 
on December 13, 1999. The CIT affirmed the Department's final remand 
results and dismissed the case. See Timken Company v. United States, 
Slip Op. 200-13 (CIT February 8, 2000).
    There was no appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the 
Federal Circuit. As there is now a final and conclusive court decision 
in this action, we are amending our final results of review and we will 
instruct the Customs Service to liquidate entries subject to this 
review.

Amendment to Final Results

    Pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Act, we are now amending the 
final results of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
TRBs from the People's Republic of China for the period of review June 
1, 1994, through May 31, 1995. The revised weighted-average margins are 
as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            Company                               Margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Premier Bearing and Equipment, Ltd.............................     2.89
Tianshui Hailin Import and Export Corporation..................    25.63
Zhejiang Machinery Import and Export Corporation...............     3.04
East Sea Bearing Company, Ltd..................................     3.60
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the Department will determine and the Customs Service 
will assess appropriate antidumping duties on entries of the subject 
merchandise exported by firms covered by this review. Weighted-average 
margins for other respondent companies and the PRC-wide rate for others 
remain as published in the Final Results.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Act.

    Dated: November 21, 2001.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
