Thereof From France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, Sweden, and the United
Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Reviews and
Revocation of Orders in Part, 66 FR
36551 (July 12, 2001).
On January 9, 2007, SKF France S.A.
and SKF Aerospace France S.A.S.
(collectively SKF France) and SNFA
France notified the Department of a
change of ownership in SNFA France
and requested the initiation of a
changed–circumstances review of the
order on ball bearings from France. In a
separate filing on the same date, SKF
Industries S.p.A. (SKF Italy) and SNFA
Italy notified the Department of a
change in ownership of SNFA Italy. On
January 26, 2007, SKF UK Ltd. (SKF
UK) and SNFA UK filed such a
notification with respect to SNFA UK.
Each notification stated that AB SKF,
the parent SKF company, had
purchased all outstanding shares of the
SNFA companies through its subsidiary,
SKF Holding France S.A., on July 4,
2006.
We initiated a changed–circumstances
review pursuant to the request by SKF
France and SNFA France on March 2,
2007. See Ball Bearings and Parts
Thereof from France: Initiation of an
Antidumping Duty Changed–
Circumstances Review, 72 FR 9513
(March 2, 2007). On March 9, 2007, the
Department self–initiated changed–
circumstances reviews of the orders on
ball bearings from Italy and the United
Kingdom. See Ball Bearings and Parts
Thereof from Italy and the United
Kingdom: Initiation of Antidumping
Duty Changed–Circumstances Reviews,
72 FR 10643 (March 9, 2007). For each
review, we have requested more
detailed information from the merged
SKF/SNFA entities. The entities have
complied with our requests and Timken
US Corporation, the petitioner in the
investigations, has submitted comments
on the information.
On June 29, 2007, we initiated
administrative reviews of the orders on
ball bearings from France, Italy, and the
United Kingdom for the period from
May 1, 2006, through April 30, 2007.
See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, Request for Revocation in Part
and Deferral of Administrative Review,
72 FR 35690 (June 29, 2007). After
analysis of the quantity and value of the
sales of ball bearings from France during
the period of review, we selected SKF
France as a respondent for individual
examination in the administrative
review of the order covering that
merchandise. See ‘‘Memorandum to

a similar analysis of sales of ball
bearings from Italy, we selected SKF
Italy as a respondent for individual
examination in the review of the order
covering ball bearings from Italy. See
‘‘Memorandum to Laurie Parkhill from
Thomas Schauer regarding Ball Bearings
and Parts Thereof from Italy Respondent

received no request to review the sales
of SKF UK in the administrative review
of the order on ball bearings from the
United Kingdom.

Rescission of Reviews
The mergers of the SKF/SNFA entities
in France, Italy, and the United
Kingdom occurred in July 2006, during
the period under review in the 2006/
2007 administrative reviews of the
orders on ball bearings from those
countries. Because SKF France and SKF
Italy have been selected as respondents
for individual examination in those
reviews, we will be examining the
impact of the mergers with respect to
the sales that they, or their subsidiaries,
made to the United States during the
period of review and the effect that
these mergers have had on the
operations and management of the
relevant firms for the purposes of
determining, among other things,
whether the SKF companies should be
collapsed with their SNFA counterparts.
Thus, we intend to address any
considerations arising from the
changed–circumstances reviews on ball
bearings from France and Italy in the
context of the administrative reviews for
SKF France and SKF Italy. Accordingly,
we are rescinding the changed–
circumstances reviews with respect to
the antidumping duty orders on ball
bearings and parts thereof from France
and Italy.
We will incorporate the records of the
rescinded reviews into the records of
the appropriate administrative reviews.

This extension is in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(2).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 29, 2006, the U.S.
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
corrosion–resistant carbon steel flat
products from Korea, covering the
period August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006.
See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29,
2006). On September 10, 2007, the
Department published the preliminary
results of this review. See Certain
Corrosion Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products from the Republic of Korea:
Notice of Preliminary Results and
Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 72 FR 51584
(September 10, 2007). The final results
of this review are currently due no later
than January 8, 2008.
rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to issue final
results within 120 days after the date on
which the preliminary results are
published. However, if it is not
practicable to complete the review
within that time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit for
the final results to a maximum of 180
days. See also 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the final results of this
review within the original time limit.
Several technical issues arose which
require the collection and analyses of
certain additional information after the
preliminary results. Therefore, to allow
sufficient time to collect and analyze the
additional information, and to conduct
the briefing process, the Department is
fully extending the final results. The
final results are now due not later than
March 10, 2008, the next business day
after 180 days from publication of the
preliminary results. The amended
schedule for interested parties to submit
case briefs, written comments, and/or
hearing is not later than Monday,
January 14, 2008. Rebuttal briefs are
limited to issues raised in such briefs or
comments and may be filed no later
than five days after the time limit for
filing the case briefs or comments. See
19 CFR 351.309(d). Any hearing, if
requested, ordinarily will be held two
days after the due date of the rebuttal
briefs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 29, 2006, the U.S. Department of Commerce
(``Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on corrosion-resistant carbon
steel flat products from Korea, covering the period August 1, 2005 to
July 31, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006). On September
10, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results of this
review. See Certain Corrosion Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from
the Republic of Korea: Notice of Preliminary Results and Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 51584
(September 10, 2007). The final results of this review are currently
due no later than January 8, 2008.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the
Act''), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However,
if it is not practicable to complete the review within that time
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend
the time limit for the final results to a maximum of 180 days. See also
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final
results of this review within the original time limit. Several
technical issues arose which require the collection and analyses of
certain additional information after the preliminary results.
Therefore, to allow sufficient time to collect and analyze the
additional information, and to conduct the briefing process, the
Department is fully extending the final results. The final results are
now due not later than March 10, 2008, the next business day after 180
days from publication of the preliminary results. The amended schedule
for interested parties to submit case briefs, written comments, and/or
hearing is not later than Monday, January 14, 2008. Rebuttal briefs are
limited to issues raised in such briefs or comments and may be filed no
later than five days after the time limit for filing the case briefs or
comments. See 19 CFR 351.309(d). Any hearing, if requested, ordinarily
will be held two days after the due date of the rebuttal briefs.
This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: October 22, 2007.
