SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On October 1, 2007, pursuant to 19

Scope of Order
Imports covered by this order are
shipments of tapered roller bearings and
parts thereof, finished and unfinished,
from the PRC; flange, take up cartridge,
and hanger units incorporating tapered
roller bearings; and tapered roller
housings (except pillow blocks)
1 The
incorporating tapered rollers, with or
without spindles, whether or not for
automotive use. These products are
currently classifiable under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) item numbers 8482.20.00,
8482.91.00.50, HTSUS 8482.99.15,
HTSUS 8482.99.45, 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.
Ministerial Errors
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, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers
ministerial.’’
On October 1, 2007, Petitioner filed a
ministerial error allegation with the
Department requesting that we correct
the narrative description in the ‘‘Scope
of Order’’ section of our Final Results.
In the Final Results, the Department
inadvertently omitted the words ‘‘and
parts thereof, finished and unfinished’’
from the first line of the scope
description stated in the ‘‘Scope of
Order’’ section therein.
After analyzing Petitioner’s comment,
we have determined, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(e), that a ministerial
error existed with respect to the
description of merchandise covered by
the antidumping duty order as stated in
the ‘‘Scope of Order’’ section of the
Final Results. The Department
inadvertently omitted the words ‘‘and
parts thereof, finished and unfinished’’
from the first line of the scope
description stated in the ‘‘Scope of
Order’’ section therein. The correct
scope description is stated in the
‘‘Scope of Order’’ section of this notice,
above. Correction of this error does not
result in a change to final antidumping
duty margins, deposit rates, or
assessment rates. In addition, the rate
for the PRC–wide entity remains
unchanged.
Amended Final Results of Review
We determine that the following
dumping margin exists for the period
June 1, 2005, through May 31, 2006:

Assessment Rates
The Department will determine and
the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. We intend to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP
15 days after publication of these
amended final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit rates will
be effective upon publication of the
amended final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for previously investigated
or reviewed PRC and non–PRC
exporters who received a separate rate
in a prior segment of the proceeding
(which were not reviewed in this
segment of the proceeding) will
continue to be the rate assigned in that
segment of the proceeding; (2) the cash
deposit rate for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the PRC–
wide rate of 60.95 percent; and (3) the
cash deposit rate for all non–PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, will be
the rate applicable to the PRC exporters
that supplied that non–PRC exporter.
These requirements shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of the 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 (‘‘APOs’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
E:\FR\FM\11DEN1.SGM
11DEN1

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
These amended final results are
published in accordance with sections
751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
