Background

    On June 15, 1987, the Department of Commerce (Department) published 
in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on tapered roller 
bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished (TRBs), from the 
People's Republic of China (PRC).\1\ On June 2, 2014, the Department 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on TRBs from the PRC covering the period 
June 1, 2013, through May 31, 2014.\2\ The Department received timely 
requests for an antidumping duty administrative review from Changshan 
Peer Bearing Co. Ltd. (CPZ/SKF), GGB Bearing Technology (Suzhou) Co., 
Ltd., Ningbo Xinglun Bearings Import & Export Co., Ltd., and Xinchang 
Kaiyuan Automotive Bearing Co., Ltd. Additionally, the Department 
received timely requests for review from the petitioner, the Timken 
Company, for CPZ/SKF and Yantai CMC Bearing Co., Ltd., and from CNP 
Automotive Inc. (CNP), a U.S. importer of TRBs, for Guangzhou Longgo 
Auto Parts Inc. (Longgo) and Zhaoqing Native Produce Import and Export 
Co., Ltd. (Zhaoqing Native). On July 31, 2014, in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the 
Department published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of 
administrative review with respect to these companies.\3\ On September 
29, 2014, CNP withdrew its request for an administrative review of 
Longgo and Zhaoqing Native.

    \1\ See Notice of 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).
    \2\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 79 FR 31303 (June 2, 2014).
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 79 FR 
44390, 44392 (July 31, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission, In Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. CNP's 
withdrawal of its request was submitted within the 90-day period and, 
thus, is timely. Because CNP's withdrawal of its request for an 
antidumping duty administrative review is timely and because no other 
party requested a review of Longgo and Zhaoqing Native, we are 
rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to these 
companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Department no longer considers the non-market economy 
entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative 
reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in 
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (Nov. 4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall 
be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping 
duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 issued and published in accordance with sections 751 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 24, 2014.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
