SUMMARY: On November 7, 2002, the Department of Commerce announced the 
final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and 
unfinished, from the People's Republic of China for the period June 1, 
2000, through May 31, 2001. These final results were published in the 
Federal Register on November 14, 2002. See Tapered Roller Bearings and 
Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, from the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of 2000-2001 Administrative Review, Partial 
Rescission of Review, and Determination to Revoke Order, in Part, 67 FR 
68990 (November 14, 2002).
    On November 12, 2002, both Zhejiang Machinery Import & Export Corp. 
and the petitioner, the Timken Company, filed allegations of 
ministerial errors. Based on our review of the comments received from 
all parties regarding potential ministerial errors, we have made a 
change to the margin calculation of respondent Zhejiang Machinery 
Import & Export Corp. The final weighted-average dumping margin for 
this company is listed below in the section entitled ``Amended Final 
Results.''

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 4, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 14, 2002, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published the final results in this administrative 
review. See Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and 
Unfinished, from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of 2000-
2001 Administrative Review, Partial Rescission of Review, and 
Determination to Revoke Order, in Part, 67 FR 68990 (November 14, 2002) 
(``Final Results''). The period of review is June 1, 2000, through May 
31, 2001.
    On November 12, 2002, ministerial error allegations were submitted 
by respondent Zhejiang Machinery Import & Export Corp. (``ZMC'') and 
the petitioner.

Scope of Review

    Merchandise covered by this review includes tapered roller bearings 
and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from the People's Republic 
of China (``PRC''); flange, take up cartridge, and hanger units 
incorporating tapered roller bearings; and tapered roller housings 
(except pillow blocks) incorporating tapered rollers, with or without 
spindles, whether or not for automotive use. This merchandise is 
currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (``HTSUS'') item numbers 8482.20.00, 8482.91.00.50, 
8482.99.30, 8483.20.40, 8483.20.80, 8483.30.80, 8483.90.20, 8483.90.30, 
8483.90.80, 8708.99.80.15, and 8708.99.80.80. Although the HTSUS item 
numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the scope of the order and this review is dispositive.

Amended Final Results

    After analyzing the ministerial error comments submitted by the 
above-noted parties in this review, we have determined, in accordance 
with section 771(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.224, that we made a ministerial error in the margin calculation for 
ZMC. Specifically, we inadvertently failed to correct a mis-labeled 
control number reported by ZMC that we stated in the Final Results we 
intended to change. For a detailed discussion of the ministerial error 
allegations and the Department's analysis, see November 27, 2002 
memorandum from team to Susan H. Kuhbach entitled Ministerial Error 
Allegations, which is on file in the Department's Central Records Unit 
located in the main Commerce building in Room B-099.
    Therefore, we are amending the Final Results to reflect the 
correction of the above-noted ministerial error for ZMC. Based on this 
revision, we determine that the following dumping margins exist for the 
period June 1, 2000, through May 31, 2001:
