SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 17, 1996, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the final results of the fifth administrative review of the
antidumping duty orders on Antifriction Bearings (Other Than Tapered
Roller Bearings) and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
Singapore, Sweden, and the United Kingdom in the Federal Register (61
FR 66472). The classes or kinds of merchandise covered by these reviews
are BBs, CRBs, and SPBs. The reviews cover 64 manufacturers/exporters.
The review period is May 1, 1993, through April 30, 1994.
After publication of our final results, we received in a timely
fashion allegations of clerical errors from petitioners and several
respondents: Barden, FAG, NSK, and NSK/RHP. Where we agree with the
allegations, we have made corrections as appropriate (see company-
specific analysis memoranda).
Applicable Statute and Regulations
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute and to the
Department's regulations are references to the provisions as they
existed on December 31, 1994.
Amended Final Results of Review
We have determined the following weighted-average margins to exist
for the period May 1, 1993, through April 30, 1994:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate
Country Company Class or kind (percent)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Germany.................................. FAG......................... BBs 12.93
CRBs 13.57
SPBs *2.00
SKF......................... BBs *2.67
CRBs *9.46
SPBs 14.29
Italy.................................... FAG......................... BBs 1.37
CRBs *0.00
Japan.................................... NSK Ltd..................... BBs 18.88
CRBs *15.37

NSK/RHP..................... BBs 7.69

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* This rate did not change as a result of the correction.
Because we issued final results of reviews for these firms for the
subsequent period, May 1, 1994 through April 30, 1995, on January 6,
1997 (scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on January 15,
1997), we will not change the cash deposit rates for the above firms to
reflect these amended final results of reviews.
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 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 double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Failure to
comply is a violation of the APO.
This administrative review and this notice are in accordance with
section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR
353.22.
Dated: January 14, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
