SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 8, 2015, the Court remanded the Final Results for the 
Department to apply a differential pricing analysis.\3\ On remand, the 
Department applied a differential pricing analysis, under protest, and 
as a result, the weighted-average dumping margin for each respondent 
subject to these administrative reviews changed. On May 10, 2016, the 
Court upheld the Final Remand Redetermination in full.\4\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the 
CAFC held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act), the Department must publish a notice of a court 
decision that is not ``in harmony'' with a Department determination and 
must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court 
decision. The Remand Affirmation sustaining the Final Remand 
Redetermination constitutes a final decision of the Court which is not 
in harmony with the Final Results. This notice is published in 
fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken.

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court decision, the Department is 
amending the Final Results with respect to all respondents as follows:

    In the event the Court's ruling is not appealed, or if it is 
appealed and upheld by the CAFC, the Department will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on 
entries of the subject merchandise exported by the companies listed 
above. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for Asahi Seiko Co., 
Ltd., Mori Seiki Co., Ltd., NSK Ltd., NSK Bearings Europe Ltd., and NTN 
Corporation and NTN Kongo Corporation, we calculated importer-specific 
assessment rates by dividing the total amount of dumping for the 
reviewed sales by the total entered vale of those reviewed sales for 
each importer.
    For entries of subject merchandise during the period of reviews 
produced by Asahi Seiko Co., Ltd., Mori Seiki Co., Ltd., NSK Ltd., NSK 
Bearings Europe Ltd., and NTN Corporation and NTN Kongo Corporation, 
for which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the 
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at 
the country-specific all-others rate if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
    For all other companies listed above, which were not selected for 
individual examination, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping 
duties at a rate equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed 
above to all entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by 
such firms.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Because we revoked the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings and 
parts thereof from Japan and the United Kingdom effective September 15, 
2011, no cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties on future 
entries of subject merchandise will be required.\5\
