SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 10, 2012, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of the administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on ball 
bearings and parts thereof from France and Italy in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i). See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocations in Part, 77 FR 40565 
(July 10, 2012).

Rescission of Reviews

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will 
rescind an administrative review, ``if a party that requested a review 
withdraws the request within 90 days of the date

[[Page 53845]]

of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' The 
following companies timely filed requests for review and submitted 
timely withdrawals of their requests between June 29 and July 24, 2012:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Country                              Company
------------------------------------------------------------------------
France............................  Kongskilde Limited, NTN-SNR
                                     Roulements, S.A., SKF France S.A.
                                     and SKF Aerospace France S.A.S.
Italy.............................  SKF Industrie S.p.A. and Somecat
                                     S.p.A., Schaeffler Italia SpA.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because we received no other requests for review of these 
companies, and because all parties withdrew their requests for review 
within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation, 
we are rescinding the administrative reviews of the orders with respect 
to all companies. This rescission is in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection within 15 days after 
publication of this notice.

Notifications

    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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning destruction of proprietary information disclosed under an 
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 violation which is 
subject to sanction.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 28, 2012.

Senior Advisor for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
