SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 2, 2024 Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
Preliminary Results of the 2022-2023 administrative review \1\ of the 
antidumping duty on tapered toller bearings and parts thereof, finished 
and unfinished (TRBs) from the People's Republic of China (China).\2\ 
We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\3\ 
No interested party submitted comments. Accordingly, we made no changes 
to the Preliminary Results. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain 
deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. The deadline 
for the final results is now September 6, 2024.\4\

Scope of the Order

    The products subject to the order are TRBs. For a complete 
description of the scope of the order, see the Preliminary Results.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 35793.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Tainai had no 
shipments of TRBs during the POR, based on Tainai's timely submitted 
no-shipment certification and our analysis of information from U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).\6\ We received no comments with 
respect to our preliminary finding. Therefore, for these final results, 
we continue to determine that Tainai had no shipments of subject 
merchandise during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Tainai's Letter, ``No Shipment Certification,'' dated 
August 24, 2023; see also Memorandum ``No Shipment Inquiry for 
Shanghai Tainai Bearings Co., Ltd. (A-570-601) during the period 06/
01/2022 through 05/31/2023,'' dated October 18, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties 
on all appropriate entries in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b). As 
Commerce continues to find that Tainai did not have any shipments of 
subject merchandise during the POR, we will instruct CBP to assess any 
suspended entries of subject merchandise associated with Tainai at the 
China-wide rate (i.e., 92.84 percent).
    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results of 
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the 
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will 
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties 
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 
90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results 
of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Act: (1) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-
Chinese exporters for which a review was not requested and that 
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific 
rate published for the most recently-completed period; (2) for all 
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for 
the China-wide entity; and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject 
merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied 
that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final 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 the POR.

[[Page 67416]]

Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the 
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
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(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. 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 subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: August 14, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
