ACTION: Notice of amended final results of antidumping duty

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

SUMMARY: On December 19, 2000, the Department of Commerce published a 
retraction of the amended final results of reviews for the respondent-
company FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schaefer AG with respect to the 
antidumping duty orders on antifriction bearings (other than tapered

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,

before 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 the reviews and we will subsequently 
instruct the Customs Service to liquidate entries subject to these 
reviews.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 19, 2000, the Department of Commerce published a 
retraction of the amended final results of reviews for the respondent-
company FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schaefer AG (FAG) with respect to the 
antidumping duty orders on antifriction bearings (other than tapered 
roller bearings) and parts thereof from Germany (see 65 FR 79341). 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. At the time of our 
December 19th notice, one matter, relating to the reviews of the orders 
on antifriction bearings and parts thereof from Germany, was pending 
before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
    Pursuant to the remand order from the U.S. Court of International 
Trade (CIT) in SKF USA Inc. v. United States, Consol. Court No. 97-01-
00054-S, Slip Op. 01-86 (CIT July 16, 2001), the Department of Commerce 
prepared the final results of redetermination. In accordance with the 
CIT's instructions, we reconsidered our calculation of FAG's general 
and administrative expenses, and we recalculated FAG's margins 
accordingly. As there is now a final and conclusive court decision in 
this action, we are amending our final results of reviews in this 
matter, and we will subsequently instruct the Customs Service to 
liquidate entries subject to these reviews.

Amendment to Final Results

    Pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act, we are now amending 
the final results of administrative reviews of the antidumping duty 
orders on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) 
and parts thereof from Germany, for the period May 1, 1993, through 
April 30, 1994. The revised weighted-average margins are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     Company                        BBs    CRBs    SPBs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Germany: FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schafer AG......   12.33   12.50    2.10
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the Department will determine and the Customs Service 
will assess appropriate antidumping duties on entries of the subject 
merchandise made by the firm covered by these reviews. Individual 
differences between United States price and foreign market value may 
vary from the percentages listed above. For the company covered by 
these amended results, the Department will issue appraisement 
instructions to the Customs Service after publication of these amended 
final results of reviews.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act.

    Dated: February 19, 2002.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
