SUMMARY: On July 1, and Sept 12, 2005, respectively, Yantai Timken

the administrative review of sales of tapered roller bearings and parts 
thereof, finished or unfinished (``TRBs'') from The People's Republic 
of China (``PRC'') for the period covering June 1, 2004 through May 31, 
2005, for Yantai Timken and Wanxiang.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 26, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 15, 1987, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the antidumping duty order on TRBs from PRC. See Antidumping Duty 
Order: Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished or 
Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China, 52 FR 22667 (June 15, 
1987). On June 1, 2005, the Department published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on TRBs from the PRC for the period June 1, 2004, through May 31, 
2005. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation: Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 
70 FR 31422 (June 1, 2005). On June 30, 2005, Yantai Timken and 
Wanxiang requested administrative reviews of their sales to the United 
States during the period of review (``POR''). No other party requested 
an administrative review of Yantai Timken or Wanxiang for this time 
period. On July 21, 2005, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of TRBs from the PRC for the 2004-2005 POR. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 30694 (May 27, 2005) 
(``Initiation Notice'').\1\ Wanxiang withdrew its request for review on 
July 1, 2005 and on September 12, 2005, Yantai Timken withdrew its 
request for review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The initiation notice inadvertently failed to include 
Wanxiang in the list of companies covered by the review. On August 
29, 2005, the Department issued an amendment to its July 21, 2005, 
Initiation Notice, including Wanxiang in the 2004-2005 review. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 51009, 51010 
(August 29, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of notice of initiation of requested review. Yantai Timken and Wanxiang 
withdrew their respective requests for review within the 90-day time 
limit and no other party requested a review with respect to either 
Yantai Timken or Wanxiang. Accordingly, we are rescinding this 
administrative review of the sales in the United States made by Yantai 
Timken and Wanxiang and will issue appropriate assessment instructions 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's assumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and subsequent assessment 
of double antidumping duties.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) of the Department's 
regulations.

    Dated: October 20, 2005.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
