administrative review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Italy (60 FR
10959). On May 11, 1995, the Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered
the Department to correct two ministerial errors in the final results
with respect to AFBs from Italy sold by Meter. Accordingly, we are
amending our final results of administrative review with respect to
Meter. The review covers the period May 1, 1992, through April 30,
1993. The ``class or kind'' of merchandise covered by the review of
Meter is ball bearings and parts thereof (BBs).
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 29, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 28, 1995, the Department published the final results of
antidumping duty administrative review and revocation in part of the
antidumping duty orders on AFBs from Italy (60 FR 10959). The review
period is May 1, 1992, through April 30, 1993. The review covered one
class or kind of merchandise, BBs, from Italy sold by Meter S.p.A. For
a detailed description of the products covered under this class or kind
of merchandise, including a compilation of all pertinent scope
determinations, see the ``Scope Appendix'' of the final results
referenced above.
Meter challenged the final results before the CIT, alleging
ministerial errors in the final results for AFBs from Italy. On May 11,
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 Meter: (1) Calculate the cost of manufacturing by
applying the computed adjustment percentage only to variable overhead
costs, and (2) calculate Meter's general and administrative expense by
removing the adjustment for severance costs. We have corrected these
ministerial errors in Meter's margin calculation for the period May 1,
1992, through April 30, 1993.
Based on the correction of these ministerial errors in our
calculations for Meter, we have determined that the following weighted-
average percentage margin exists for the period May 1, 1992, through
April 30, 1993:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manufacturer/Exporter Country BBs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meter.......................... Italy.......................... 2.62
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 23, 1995.
Paul L. Joffe,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
