SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On January 10, 2013, the Department disclosed to interested parties 
its calculations for the final results of the 2010-2011 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on TRBs from the PRC. On January 
15, 2013, Changshan Peer Bearing Co., Ltd. (``CPZ/SKF'') timely filed 
ministerial error allegations and requested that, pursuant to section 
751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'') and 19 CFR 
351.224, the Department correct the alleged ministerial errors in the 
calculations. The Department published the final results of this 
proceeding on January 16, 2013.\1\ On January 22, 2013, the Timken 
Company (``Timken'') filed rebuttal comments to CPZ/SKF's ministerial 
error allegations. No other interested party submitted ministerial 
error allegations or rebuttal comments.

Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2010-2011, 78 FR 3396 
(January 16, 2013) (``Final Results'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    For a full description of the products covered by the antidumping 
duty order on tapered roller bearings from the PRC, see Memorandum to 
Abdelali Elouaradia, Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 4, from 
Brandon Farlander and Erin Kearney, International Trade Compliance 
Analysts, AD/CVD Operations, Office 4, concerning, ``Final Results of 
the 2010-2011 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Tapered Roller 
Bearings from the People's Republic of China: Allegation of Ministerial 
Errors and Amended Final,'' dated concurrently with this notice 
(``Ministerial Error Memorandum''), which is incorporated by reference.

Ministerial Errors

    A ministerial error is defined in section 751(h) of the Act as 
including ``errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic 
function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, 
duplication, or the like, and any other

[[Page 12036]]

type of unintentional error which the administering authority considers 
ministerial.'' \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See also 19 CFR 351.224(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After analyzing CPZ/SKF's comments and Timken's rebuttal comments, 
we have determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.224(e), that we made the following ministerial errors in our 
calculations for the Final Results:
     We unintentionally deducted amounts for domestic brokerage 
and handling expenses twice for certain sales.
     We unintentionally failed to offset CPZ/SKF's freight 
expenses with its freight revenue for sales in which it reported both 
freight expenses from the warehouse to the U.S. customer and 
corresponding freight revenue.

For a detailed discussion of all alleged ministerial errors, as well as 
the Department's analysis, see Ministerial Error Memorandum.
    In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), 
we are amending the Final Results of the administrative review of TRBs 
from the PRC. The revised weighted-average dumping margins are detailed 
below. For CPZ/SKF-specific calculations, see Memorandum to the File 
from Brandon Farlander and Erin Kearney, International Trade Analysts, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office 4, Import Administration, ``Administrative 
Review of Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and 
Unfinished from the People's Republic of China: Amended Final Results 
Analysis Memorandum of Changshan Peer Bearing Co., Ltd. and Peer 
Bearing Company,'' dated concurrently with this notice and incorporated 
by reference.
    In the Final Results, we determined that one company, in addition 
to the mandatory respondent, qualified for a separate rate.\3\ Because 
we have revised the weighted-average dumping margin for CPZ/SKF, we are 
also revising the weighted-average dumping margin for Xiang Yang 
Automobile Bearing Co., Ltd., a separate rate respondent, because the 
rate for Xiang Yang Automobile Bearing Co., Ltd. is based on the 
weighted-average dumping margin calculated for CPZ/SKF.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Final Results, 78 FR at 3397.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The amended, weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-
                                                               average
                          Exporter                             dumping
                                                                margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changshan Peer Bearing Co., Ltd............................        14.91
Xiang Yang Automobile Bearing Co., Ltd.....................        14.91
PRC-wide entity *..........................................        92.84
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The PRC-wide entity includes Haining Automann Parts Co., Ltd.,
  Zhejiang Zhaofeng Mechanical and Electronic Co., Ltd., and Tianshui
  Hailin Import and Export Corporation, where the exporter is Tianshui
  Hailin Import and Export Corporation and the producer is any company
  other than Hailin Bearing Factory (the successor-in-interest is Gansu
  Hailin Zhongke Science & Technology Co., Ltd.). The Department has
  previously found that merchandise produced by Hailin Bearing Factory
  and exported by Tianshui Hailin Import and Export Corporation is not
  subject to the order.\4\

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, 68991 (November 
14, 2002); see also Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof,

Results of 2009-2010 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and

(January 17, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed for these amended final 
results within five days of the date of publication of this notice to 
interested parties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
of subject merchandise in accordance with the amended final results of 
this review. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to 
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these amended final 
results of review.
    For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average 
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), we calculated 
importer-specific assessment rates for merchandise subject to this 
review.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ As in the Final Results, the Department applied the 
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping 
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final 
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (``Final Modification 
for Reviews'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For CPZ/SKF, we calculated an ad valorem rate for each importer by 
dividing the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's 
examined sales by the total entered values associated with those sales. 
For duty-assessment rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP 
to assess the resulting ad valorem rate against the entered customs 
values for the subject merchandise. We will instruct CBP to assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review 
where an importer-specific assessment rate is above de minimis. Where 
either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de 
minimis,\6\ or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de 
minimis,\7\ we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Final Modification for Reviews.
    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise 
exported by the PRC-wide entity at the ad valorem rate of 92.84 percent 
of entered value.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective 
retroactively on any entries made on or after January 16, 2013, the 
date of publication of the Final Results, for all shipments of the 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by 
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters listed above, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate shown for this company (except 
if the rate is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 percent, a zero cash 
deposit will be required for that company); (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above 
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the 
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for 
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to 
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 92.84 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that 
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements shall remain 
in effect until further notice.
    These amended final results are published in accordance with 
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
