SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 15, 1997, the Department published in the Federal
Register the final results of its administrative reviews of the
antidumping duty orders on AFBs from France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
Singapore, and the United Kingdom (62 FR 2081). Respondents NSK and
NSK/RHP challenged the final results before the Court of International
Trade (CIT), alleging clerical errors in the calculations for AFBs from
Japan and the United Kingdom. On May 27, 1997, the CIT remanded the
Final Results to the Department to correct certain clerical errors. See
NSK Ltd., and NSK Corporation v. United States, 966 F. Supp. 1241 (May
27, 1997), and RHP Bearings Ltd. et al. v. United States, 966 F. Supp.
1240 (May 27, 1997).
On June 23, 1997, in compliance with the CIT's instructions, we
submitted a remand redetermination correcting the clerical errors at
issue. On July 7, 1997, in slip opinion 97-90, the CIT affirmed the
remand redetermination. On August 8, 1997, the CIT ordered the
Department to issue, and transmit to the Federal Register for
publication, the amended Final Results arising from the remand
redetermination. This notice implements the CIT's order.
Amended Final Results of Reviews
As a result of the amended margin calculations as directed by the
CIT, the following weighted-average percentage margins exist for the
period May 1, 1994, through April 30, 1995:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BBs rate CRBs rate
Manufacturer/exporter and country (percent) (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NSK Ltd., Japan................................. 12.61 21.61
NSK/RHP, United Kingdom......................... 20.15 23.60
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall
assess,
[[Page 45796]]
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because sampling and
other simplification methods prevent entry-by-entry assessments, we
will calculate wherever possible an exporter/importer-specific
assessment rate for each class or kind of AFBs.
We 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 (62 FR 2081) and as
amended by this determination. These 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withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of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.
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 the 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 a 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). Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply is
a violation of the APO.
This amendment of final results of reviews 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: August 26, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
