In our preliminary results of review, we determined that Shanghai United, Changshan Bearing, and ZCCBC had failed to demonstrate their eligibility for separate rate status. Therefore, we preliminarily determined that they were part of the PRC–wide entity.

Therefore, the Department is extending the deadline for the preliminary results in this proceeding by an additional 35 days and, as a result, intends to issue the preliminary results of the full sunset review no later than March 24, 2006. The Department will issue its final results of the full sunset review on May 30, 2006, as specified in the Notice of Extension.

Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and 
Unfinished, from the People's Republic of China: Amended Final Results 
of Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On January 17, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') published Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, 
Finished and Unfinished, from the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of 2003-2004 Administrative Review and Partial Rescission of 
Review, 71 FR 2517 (January 17, 2006) (``Final Results''), covering the 
period of review (``POR'') June 1, 2003, through May 31, 2004. We are 
amending the Final Results to correct ministerial errors made in the 
calculation of the dumping margins for Luoyang Bearing Corporation 
(Group) (``LYC''), pursuant to section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act'').

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 24, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurel LaCivita, Eugene Degnan or 
Robert Bolling, AD/CVD Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-4243, (202) 482-0414 or (202) 482-3434, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope of Order

    Merchandise covered by this order is tapered roller bearings 
(``TRBs'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''); flange, take 
up cartridge, and hanger units incorporating tapered roller bearings; 
and tapered roller housings (except pillow blocks) incorporating 
tapered rollers, with or without spindles, whether or not for 
automotive use. This merchandise is currently classifiable under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') item 
numbers 8482.20.00, 8482.91.00.50, 8482.99.30, 8483.20.40, 8483.20.80, 
8483.30.80, 8483.90.20, 8483.90.30, 8483.90.80, 8708.99.80.15, and 
8708.99.80.80. Although the HTSUS item numbers are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope 
of the order is dispositive.

Background

    On January 17, 2006, the Department published the Final Results in 
the Federal Register. On January 17, 2006, and January 18, 2006, we 
received ministerial error allegations from Yantai Timken Co., Ltd. 
(``Yantai Timken'') and The Timken Company (Petitioner), respectively. 
A ministerial error is defined in section 751(h) of the Act and further 
clarified in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as ``an error in addition, subtraction, 
or other arithmetic function, ministerial error resulting from 
inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other similar 
type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers 
ministerial.'' After analyzing the comments by interested parties, we 
have determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that a 
ministerial error existed in the calculations for the Final Results 
with respect to LYC. Additionally, we disagree that the issue raised by 
Yantai Timken constitutes a ministerial error. For a detailed 
explanation of this issue, see the memorandum to the file from Laurel 
LaCivita, Senior Case Analyst, through Robert Bolling, Program Manager, 
``Analysis for the Amended Final Results of the 2003-2004 
Administrative Review of Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, 
Finished or Unfinished, from the People's Republic of China: Yantai 
Company, Ltd,'' dated February 16, 2006. For a detailed discussion and 
analysis of the ministerial error raised by Petitioner with respect to 
LYC and the correction the Department has applied, see the memorandum 
to the file from Eugene Degnan, Case Analyst, through Robert Bolling, 
Program Manager, ``Analysis for the Amended Final Results of the 2003-
2004 Administrative Review of Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts 
Thereof, Finished or Unfinished, from the People's Republic of China: 
Luoyang Bearing Corporation (Group),'' dated February 16, 2006. Both 
memoranda are on file in the Central Records Unit, room B-099 in the 
main building of the Department of Commerce.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results of the administrative 
review of TRBs from the PRC for LYC.
    In addition, our Final Results inadvertently failed to include the 
Department's determination with respect to three companies: Shanghai 
United Bearing Co., Ltd. (``Shanghai United''), Zhejiang Changshan 
Bearing (Group) Co., Ltd. (``Changshan Bearing''), and Zhejiang 
Changshan Change Bearing Co. (``ZCCBC''). In our preliminary results of 
review, we determined that Shanghai United, Changshan Bearing, and 
ZCCBC had failed to demonstrate their eligibility for separate rate 
status. Therefore, we preliminarily determined that they were part of 
the PRC-wide entity. See Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, 
Finished or Unfinished, from the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Notice of Intent to Rescind in Part, 70 FR 39744, 39751 (July 11, 2005) 
(``Preliminary Results''). Because the PRC-wide entity failed to 
cooperate in this review, we preliminarily determined that the 
application of total adverse facts available (``AFA'') was warranted 
and applied the rate of 60.95 percent to the PRC-wide entity. See 70 FR 
39744, at 39751 and 39755. Since the Preliminary Results, no 
information has been placed on the record with respect to these 
companies. Therefore, we have not reconsidered our decision from the 
Preliminary Results. Consequently, for the amended final results of 
review, we shall continue to apply a total AFA rate of 60.95 percent to 
the PRC-wide entity (including Shanghai United, Changshan Bearing, and 
ZCCBC).
    The revised weighted-average dumping margin for LYC is detailed in 
the chart below.

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
based on the amended final results. For details on the assessment of 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries, see Final Results, 71 FR 
2517, 2523.
    These amended final results are published in accordance with 
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
