Rescission of Reviews

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d) the Department will rescind an 
administrative review ``if a party that requested the review withdraws 
the request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of 
initiation of the requested review.'' We received all of the above 
withdrawal letters, except one, within the 90-day time limit. Although 
Mori Seiki Co., Ltd., withdrew its request 91 days after initiation of 
the review, we have honored this request because we have not expended 
significant resources with regard to Mori Seiki Co., Ltd., and no party 
has objected to Mori Seiki Co., Ltd.,'s late withdrawal of its request. 
Because the Department received no other requests for review of these 
firms, the Department is rescinding the reviews in part with respect to 
ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and 
the United Kingdom by these firms. The above rescissions are pursuant 
to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The Department will issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days 
after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under section 351.402(f) of the Department's regulations 
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 serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these rescissions in accordance with 
section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: November 7, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
