SUMMARY: On February 28, 1995, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) published 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 Germany and
Italy (60 FR 10900, 10959). On May 10, 1995, the Court of International
Trade (CIT) ordered the Department to correct four ministerial errors
in the final results with respect to AFBs from Germany sold by FAG and
one ministerial error in the final results with respect to AFBs from
Italy sold by FAG. Accordingly, we are amending our final results of
administrative review of the antidumping duty orders on AFBs from
Germany and Italy with respect to FAG. The reviews cover the period May
1, 1992, through April 30, 1993. 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).
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 13, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 28, 1995, the Department published the final results of
antidumping duty administrative review, partial termination, and
revocation in part of the antidumping duty orders on antifriction
bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts thereof from
France, et al. (60 FR 10900), and from Italy (60 FR 10959). The review
period is May 1, 1992, through April 30, 1993. The classes or kinds of
merchandise covered by these reviews are BBs, CRBs, and SPBs. For a
detailed description of the products covered under these classes or
kinds of merchandise, including a compilation of all pertinent scope
determinations, see the ``Scope Appendix'' of the final results
referenced above.
One respondent, FAG, challenged the final results before the CIT,
alleging ministerial errors in the final results for AFBs from Germany
and Italy. On May 10, 1995, the CIT ordered the Department to correct
the errors and publish the amended final results in the Federal
Register.
Amended Final Results of Review
The CIT ordered the Department to make the following corrections to
its analysis for FAG Germany: (1) Calculate the profit on home market
sales to related parties, and, where the profit is not significantly
less than the profit on sales to unrelated parties, use the profit for
the class or kind as reported by FAG; (2) in the calculation of profit
for constructed value, deduct certain home market expenses from the net
unit price; (3) make an addition of other revenue to the unit price
prior to applying the best information available (BIA) rate to unit
price; and (4) with respect to both FAG Germany and FAG Italy, remove
sales FAG made to one U.S. customer for whom rebates were correctly
reported prior to applying the BIA rebate rate. We have corrected the
ministerial errors in FAG's margin calculations for the amended final
results of review for the period May 1, 1992, through April 30, 1993.
Based on the correction of the ministerial errors in our
calculations for FAG, we have determined that the following percentage
weighted-average margins exist for the period May 1, 1992, through
April 30, 1993:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manufacturer/exporter Country BBs CRBs SPBs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAG.................... Germany................ 11.85 16.25 18.98
FAG.................... Italy.................. 2.70 (*) ......
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* No U.S. sales during the review period.
Based on these results, the Department will instruct 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 review.
This notice 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 the review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping occurred and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
This amendment of final results of review and notice are in
accordance with section 751(f) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1673(d))
and 19 CFR 353.28(c).
Dated: June 6, 1995.
Paul L. Joffe,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
