SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department of Commerce (the
Department) published antidumping
duty orders on ball bearings, cylindrical
roller bearings, and spherical plain
bearings and parts thereof from Japan on
May 15, 1989. See Antidumping Duty
Orders: Ball Bearings, Cylindrical Roller
Bearings, and Spherical Plain Bearings,
and Parts Thereof from Japan, 54 FR
20904 (May 15, 1989). The orders on
cylindrical roller bearings and spherical
plain bearings and parts thereof from
Japan were revoked, effective January 1,
2000. See Revocation of Antidumping
Duty Orders on Certain Bearings From
Hungary, Japan, Romania, Sweden,
France, Germany, Italy, and the United
Kingdom, 65 FR 42667 (July 11, 2000).
Koyo Seiko Company, Ltd., and Koyo
Corporation of U.S.A. (collectively
Koyo) have participated in numerous
administrative reviews of the order on
ball bearings and parts thereof from
Japan.
On February 3, 2006, Koyo informed
the Department that Koyo Seiko
Company, Ltd. (Koyo Seiko), had
changed its name to JTEKT Corporation
(JTEKT) and petitioned the Department
to conduct a changed–circumstances
review to confirm that JTEKT is the
successor–in-interest to Koyo Seiko for
purposes of determining antidumping–
duty liabilities subject to this order.1
Koyo also requested that the Department
conduct a changed–circumstances
review on an expedited basis, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii). In support of
its requests, Koyo submitted a press
release announcing the start of JTEKT
due to the merger of Koyo Seiko and
another company on January 1, 2006,
the certification of JTEKT’s history that
is recorded in the registration book
maintained by the local government
authority, and sales and marketing
documentation disseminated to Koyo
Seiko’s customers by JTEKT.
Upon review of the information
submitted by Koyo, the Department
determined that an expedited review
was practicable and, on March 23, 2006,
issued a combined notice of initiation
and preliminary results. See Ball
Bearings and Parts Thereof from Japan:
Initiation and Preliminary Results of
Changed–Circumstances Review, 71 FR
14679 (March 23, 2006) (Preliminary
Results). In its Preliminary Results, the
1 Koyo clarified in its February 3, 2006,
submission that the name of Koyo Corporation of
U.S.A. will remain unchanged at this time.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
Department provided all interested
parties with an opportunity to comment
or request a public hearing regarding the
Department’s finding that JTEKT is the
successor–in-interest to Koyo Seiko. We
did not receive any comments or any
requests for a public hearing.
Scope of the Order
For a listing of scope determinations
which pertain to the order on ball
bearings and parts thereof, see the Scope
Determination Memorandum from the
Antifriction Bearings Team to Laurie
Parkhill, dated March 2, 2006. This
memorandum is on file in the Central
Records Unit (CRU), main Commerce
building, Room B–099, in the General
Issues record (A–100–001) for the 2004/
2005 administrative reviews of the
orders on ball bearings and parts thereof
from various countries, including Japan.
Final Results of Changed–
Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the
Preliminary Results and because we
received no comments to the contrary,
we continue to find that JTEKT is the
successor–in-interest to Koyo Seiko.
Consequently, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
apply the cash–deposit rate in effect for
Koyo Seiko to all entries of the subject
merchandise from JTEKT that were
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
changed–circumstances review. See
Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin
from Italy: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Changed Circumstances Review,
68 FR 25327 (May 12, 2003).
This determination and this notice are
in accordance with sections 751(b)(1)
and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.216.
Dated: April 27, 2006.

pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), and in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(c), for new shipper reviews of
the antidumping duty order on
freshwater crawfish tail meat from the
PRC.1 See Notice of Amendment to
Final Determination of Sales at Less
than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty
Order: Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat
from the People’s Republic of China, 62
FR 48218 (September 15, 1997).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),
19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii)(A), and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), in their requests
for review, Nanjing Merry, Leping Lotai,
and Weishan Hongrun certified that
they did not export the subject
merchandise to the United States during
the period of investigation (POI) and
that since the initiation of the

the investigation it has never been
affiliated with any company which
exported subject merchandise to the
United States during the POI.2
Additionally, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Nanjing Merry,
Leping Lotai, and Weishan Hongrun
further certified that their export
activities are not controlled by the
central government of the PRC.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Nanjing Merry, Leping
Lotai, and Weishan Hongrun each
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) the date on which it
first shipped subject merchandise for
export to the United States and the date
on which the subject merchandise was
first entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption; (2) the
volume of its first shipment; and (3) the
date of its first sale to an unaffiliated
customer in the United States.
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.214(d)(1), and based on information
on the record, we are initiating new
shipper reviews for Nanjing Merry,
Leping Lotai, and Weishan Hongrun.
See Memoranda to the File through
James C. Doyle, New Shipper Initiation
Checklists, dated April 28, 2006. We
intend to issue the preliminary results
of this review not later than 180 days
after the date on which this review was
initiated, and the final results of this
review within 90 days after the date on
which the preliminary results were
issued.
Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the period of review
(‘‘POR’’) for a new shipper review,
initiated in the month immediately
following the semiannual anniversary
month, will be the six-month period
immediately preceding the semiannual
anniversary month. Therefore, the POR
for the new shipper reviews of Nanjing
Merry, Leping Lotai, and Weishan
Hongrun will be September 1, 2005,
through February 28, 2006.
It is the Department’s usual practice
in cases involving non–market
economies to require that a company
seeking to establish eligibility for an
antidumping duty rate separate from the
country–wide rate provide evidence of
de jure and de facto absence of
government control over the company’s
export activities. Accordingly, we will
issue questionnaires to Nanjing Merry,
Leping Lotai, and Weishan Hongrun,
including a separate rates section. The
2 Anhui Hengda amended its certification in order
to comply with the Department’s regulations on
April 24, 2006.

reviews will proceed if the responses
provide sufficient indication that
Nanjing Merry, Leping Lotai, and
Weishan Hongrun are not subject to
either de jure or de facto government
control with respect to their exports of
freshwater crawfish tail meat. However,
if the exporter does not demonstrate the
company’s eligibility for a separate rate,
then the company will be deemed not
separate from the PRC–wide entity,
which exported during the POI. An
exporter unable to demonstrate the
company’s eligibility for a separate rate
would hence not meet the requirements
of CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii) and its new
shipper review will be rescinded. See,
e.g., Notice of Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review
and Rescission of New Shipper Reviews:

China: Rescission of Second New
Shipper Review and Final Results and
Partial Rescission of First Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 64 FR
61581 (November 12, 1999).
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(e), we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to allow,
at the option of the importer, the
posting, until the completion of the
review, of a single entry bond or
security in lieu of a cash deposit for
certain entries of the merchandise
exported by either Nanjing Merry,
Leping Lotai, and Weishan Hongrun.
We will apply the bonding option under
19 CFR 351.107(b)(1)(i) only to entries
from the producer/exporter combination
for which these companies have
requested a new shipper review, i.e.,
Nanjing Merry/Anhui Hengda, Leping
Lotai/Leping Lotai, and Weishan
Hongrun/Weishan Hongrun.
Interested parties that need access to
proprietary information in these new
shipper reviews should submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and notice are issued
and published in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1675(a)), 19 CFR 351.214(d) and 19 CFR

Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.214(d)(1), and based on information on the record, we are
initiating new shipper reviews for Nanjing Merry, Leping Lotai, and

the preliminary results of this review not later than 180 days after

this review within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the period of review
(``POR'') for a new shipper review, initiated in the month immediately

facto government control with respect to their exports of freshwater
crawfish tail meat. However, if the exporter does not demonstrate the
company's eligibility for a separate rate, then the company will be
deemed not separate from the PRC-wide entity, which exported during the
POI. An exporter unable to demonstrate the company's eligibility for a
separate rate would hence not meet the requirements of CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii) and its new shipper review will be rescinded. See,
