SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 16, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the final results of the 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings 
and parts thereof (ball bearings) from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, 
Singapore, and the United Kingdom (70 FR 54711) (Final Results).
    We received timely allegations of ministerial errors from Nippon 
Pillow Block Co., Ltd., (NPB), NSK Ltd. (NSK), NTN Corporation (NTN), 
and Nankai Seiko Co. Ltd. (SMT). In its comments dated September 16, 
2005, NSK alleged that the Department erred in that it inadvertently 
assigned the incorrect level of trade for certain home-market sales. We 
agree with the alleged error and have amended the final results to 
correct the error.
    In its comments dated September 19, 2005, NPB alleged that the 
Department erred in that it inadvertently used the incorrect code to 
designate housed bearings sold in the United States. We agree with the 
alleged error and have amended the final results to correct the error.
    In its comments dated September 19, 2005, NTN alleged that the 
Department should correct the draft liquidation instructions it 
prepared for NTN to reflect the correct importer of record. Although we 
agree with the alleged error and have corrected the draft liquidation 
instructions accordingly, this error does not affect our calculation of 
NTN's margin.
    In its comments dated September 19, 2005, SMT alleged that the 
Department made a ministerial error by treating contemporaneity as a 
more important tie-breaker than the difference-in-merchandise 
adjustment. We do not agree that we made an error. Furthermore, SMT's 
comments of an alleged error were not ministerial in nature as defined 
by 19 CFR Sec.  351.225(f). Therefore, we have not changed our 
calculation of SMT's margin. For a complete discussion of our response 
to SMT's allegation, please see the memorandum to Laurie Parkhill dated 
October 14, 2005.

Amended Final Results of Review

    As a result of the correction of clerical errors, the following 
weighted-average margins exist for exports of ball bearings by NPB and 
NSK for the period May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Company                         Margin (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NPB.................................................               23.57
NSK Ltd.............................................                8.25
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department will determine, and the U.S. Bureau of Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries. We will issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to CBP within 15 days of publication of these amended final 
results of review. Where the importer-/customer-specific assessment 
rate or amount is above de minimis, we will instruct CBP to assess 
duties on all entries of subject merchandise by that importer or for 
that customer.
    We will also direct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with the 
procedures discussed in the Final Results and at the rates as amended 
by this notice. 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 these amended final 
results are published in the Federal Register.
    We are issuing and publishing these determinations and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, and 19 CFR Sec.  351.224(e).

    Dated: October 14, 2005.
