SUMMARY: On July 1, 1999, the Department of Commerce published the
final results of administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders
on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts
thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Singapore, Sweden
and the United Kingdom. The classes or kinds of merchandise covered by
these reviews are ball bearings and parts thereof, cylindrical roller
bearings and parts thereof, and spherical plain bearings and parts
thereof. The period of review is May 1, 1997, through April 30, 1998.
Based on the correction of a typographical error and the correction of
certain ministerial errors, we have changed the margins for ball
bearings for two companies and for cylindrical roller bearings for one
company.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 1, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Applicable Statute
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act.
Background
On July 1, 1999, the Department published the final results of
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on antifriction
bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts thereof from
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Singapore, Sweden and the
United Kingdom (64 FR 35590)(Final Results). The reviews covered 21
manufacturers/exporters and the period May 1, 1997, through April 30,
1998.
After publication of our final results, we received a timely
allegation from a respondent, Somecat S.p.A.(Somecat), that the margin
for ball bearings (BBs) was reported inaccurately in the final results
notice. We agree with the respondent. The margin for Somecat should be
0.25 percent, not 0.45 percent as reported in the Final Results.
We also received a timely allegation from NSK Ltd. and NSK
Corporation (collectively, NSK) that we had made two ministerial errors
in calculating the final results. We agree with the respondent. We are
unable to summarize these errors due to their proprietary nature. See
analysis memorandum from analyst to file dated July 29, 1999, for a
description of the changes we made to correct the ministerial errors.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of the correction of the typographical error and
amended margin calculations, the following weighted-average margins
exist for Somecat and NSK for the period May 1, 1997, through April 30,
1998:
[In percent]

antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with the
procedures discussed in the final results of review (64 FR 35590) and
as amended by this determination. The amended 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.
We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in
accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 25, 1999.
