Antifriction Bearings (Other Than Tapered Roller Bearings) and
Parts Thereof From France; Amendment to Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Reviews and Recision of Partial Revocation of
Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of amendment to final results of antidumping duty
administrative reviews and recision of partial revocation of
Antidumping Duty Order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On February 28, 1995, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) published in the Federal Register (60 FR 10959) the final
results of its administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on
antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts
thereof (AFBs) from France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Sweden,
Thailand, and the United Kingdom. The classes or kinds of merchandise
covered by these reviews are ball bearings and parts thereof (BBs),
cylindrical roller bearings and parts thereof (CRBs), and spherical
plain bearings and parts thereof (SPBs). The review period was May 1,
1992, through April 30, 1993. Based on corrections to the calculation
of United States price (USP), we are amending the final results with
respect to French BBs and SPBs sold by one company, SKF France (SKF).
We are also rescinding the revocation of the antidumping duty order
on SPBs from France with respect to SKF, since the dumping margin is no
longer de minimis.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 31, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 28, 1995, the Department published in the Federal
Register the final results of its administrative reviews of the
antidumping duty orders on AFBs from France, Germany, Japan, Singapore,
Sweden, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. The classes or kinds of
merchandise covered by these reviews are BBs, CRBs, and SPBs. The
review period was May 1, 1992, through April 30, 1993.
In these final results, we revoked in part the antidumping duty
order on SPBs from France with respect to SKF based on three
consecutive years of zero or de minimis weighted- average dumping
margins in accordance with 19 CFR 353.25(a).
Subsequent to the issuance of our final results, the Torrington
Company (Torrington), the petitioner, alleged a clerical error in the
calculation of dumping margins for SKF with respect to BBs and SPBs
from France. We determined there was a ministerial error in the
calculation of USP in the final results for AFBs from France sold by
SKF. Specifically, purchase price sales made by SKF were reported in
French francs, and we failed to convert these prices to U.S. dollars.
We have therefore corrected our calculation of SKF's USP.
Recision of Revocation
After correction of this ministerial error, we found that the
weighted-average margin for SPBs from France sold by SKF no longer is
de minimis. Therefore, the criteria for partial revocation pursuant to
19 CFR 353.25(a) have not been met, and we hereby rescind the partial
revocation of the antidumping duty order on SPBs from France with
respect to SKF.
Amended Final Results of Reviews
As a result of our corrections, we have determined the following
percentage weighted-average margins to exist for the period May 1, 1992
through April 30, 1993:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company BBs SPBs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SKF................................................. 3.74 49.08
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on these results, we will direct the Customs Service to
collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in accordance with the procedures discussed in the
final results of these reviews.
These deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice and
shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the
next administrative reviews.
This notice also serves as a 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 is published in accordance with section 751(f) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(f)) and 19 CFR
353.28(c).
Dated: March 23, 1995.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
