SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute and to the 
Department's regulations are references to the provisions as they 
existed on December 31, 1994.

Background

    On February 11, 1997, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register its final results of the 
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 (PRC). See Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts 
Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China; 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Revocation 
in Part of Antidumping Duty Order, 62 FR 6189 (February 11, 1997). As a 
result of litigation, the Court of International Trade (CIT) remanded 
the results of the review to the Department on October 25, 2001. See 
Peer Bearing Company v. United States, 182 F. Supp. 2d 1285 (CIT 2001). 
The Department completed its final results of redetermination on remand 
on March 12, 2002, and submitted the results to the CIT; the CIT 
affirmed the Department's final remand results and dismissed the case. 
See Peer Bearing Company v. United States, No. 97-03-00419, slip op. 
02-53 (CIT 2002). In another decision, Transcom, Inc. v. United States, 
294 F.3d 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2002), the Court of Appeals for the Federal 
Circuit issued an opinion affirming the Department's original 
determination in this administrative review. As there was a final and 
conclusive court decision in this action, on December 31, 2002, we 
published in the Federal Register a notice of amended final results of 
administrative review. See Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, 
Finished and Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China; Amended 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 67 FR 79902 
(December 31, 2002) (Amended Final Results). In the Amended Final 
Results, we inadvertently omitted the revised PRC countrywide rate of 
60.95 percent from the list of the revised weighted-average margins 
that was included in the final results of redetermination completed on 
March 12, 2002, and affirmed on June 5, 2002, by the CIT.

Amendment to Final Results

    Pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), we are now amending the PRC countrywide rate from the final 
results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
TRBs from the PRC for the period of review June 1, 1993, through May 
31, 1994. The revised PRC countrywide rate is 60.95 percent.
    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. We will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to 
CBP within 15 days of publication of these amended final results of 
review.

Cash-Deposit Requirement

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, upon 
publication of these amended final results, for all PRC exporters which 
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash-deposit 
rate will be the PRC countrywide rate of 60.95 percent for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date.
    We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice 
in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 27, 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
