Chapter 6 data to value Quoc Viet’s
labor wage rate for these final results.
However, the record does contain a
labor value for shrimp processing in
Bangladesh, published by the
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics. The
Department finds this labor value to be
the best available information on the
record because it is specific to the
industry being examined, and is
therefore derived from industries that
produce comparable merchandise.
Because this value is not
contemporaneous to the POR, we
inflated it using the Consumer Price
Index (‘‘CPI’’) rate for Bangladesh, as
published in the International Financial
Statistics of the International Monetary
Fund. Thus, for the final results we
valued labor using an industry-specific
labor rate from the primary surrogate
country. The calculated industryspecific wage rate is 16.71 Bangladeshi
takas per hour. A more detailed
description of the wage rate calculation
methodology is provided in the
Memorandum to the File, through Scot
T. Fullerton, Program Manager, from
Paul Walker, Case Analyst, ‘‘Fourth
New Shipper Review of Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Surrogate Values
for the Final Results,’’ dated
concurrently with this memorandum.
As stated above, the Department
valued Quoc Viet’s labor using
Bangladeshi government data. Because
there is no record evidence as to
whether this data contains all costs
related to labor, including wages,
benefits, housing, training, etc., we have
made no adjustments to the surrogate
financial ratios for the itemized detail of
indirect labor costs, as noted in Labor
Methodologies.
Final Results of Review
The Department finds that the
following margin exists for Quoc Viet
for the period February 1, 2010–July 31,
2010:

Assessment of Antidumping Duties
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of

review. Pursuant to section
351.212(b)(1) of the Department’s
regulations, we will calculate importerspecific (or customer-specific) ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of the
dumping margins calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of those same sales. In accordance
with section 351.106(c)(2) of the
Department’s regulations, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate, without regard
to antidumping duties, all entries of
subject merchandise during the POR for
which the importer-specific assessment
rate is zero or de minimis.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
new shipper review for all shipments of
subject merchandise by Quoc Viet,
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the ‘‘Act’’): (1) For subject
merchandise produced and exported by
Quoc Viet, the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for subject merchandise
exported by Quoc Viet, but not
manufactured by Quoc Viet, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
Vietnam-wide rate of 25.76 percent; and
(3) for subject merchandise
manufactured by Quoc Viet, but
exported by any party other than Quoc
Viet, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the exporter. These
cash deposit requirements will remain
in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under section 351.402(f)(2) of the
Department’s regulations to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during the POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
of their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under the APO,
in accordance with section 351.305 of
the Department’s regulations, which
continues to govern business

proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and the terms of an APO is
a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this
NSR notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(2)(b) and 777(i) of the Act.

Register on June 15, 1987. See
Antidumping Duty Order; Tapered
Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof,
Finished or Unfinished, From the
People’s Republic of China, 52 FR 22667
(June 15, 1987) (‘‘Order’’). On June 30,

Department received a NSR request
from GGB Bearing Technology (Suzhou)
Co., Ltd. (‘‘GGB’’). GGB’s request was
made in June 2011, which is the
anniversary month of the Order. See 19
CFR 351.214(d).
In its submission, GGB certified that
it is the exporter and producer of the
subject merchandise upon which the
request was based. Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(i), GGB certified that it did
not export TRBs to the United States
during the period of investigation
(‘‘POI’’). In addition, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), GGB certified that,
since the initiation of the investigation,
it has not been affiliated with a PRC
exporter or producer who exported
TRBs to the United States during the
POI, including those not individually
examined during the investigation. As
required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B),
GGB also certified that its export
activities were not controlled by the
central government of the PRC.
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), GGB submitted
documentation establishing the
following: (1) The date on which GGB
first shipped TRBs for export to the
United States and the date on which the
TRBs were 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.
The Department conducted U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
database queries in an attempt to
confirm that GGB’s shipments of subject
merchandise had entered the United
States for consumption and that
liquidation of such entries had been
properly suspended for antidumping
duties. The Department also examined
whether the CBP data confirmed that
such entries were made during the NSR
POR.1 The information which the
Department examined was consistent
with that provided by GGB in its
request. See Memorandum to the File
titled ‘‘Initiation of Antidumping New
Shipper Review: Tapered Roller
Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished
and Unfinished, from the People’s
Republic of China, A–570–601,’’
(‘‘Initiation Checklist’’) dated
concurrently with this notice.
Period of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the POR for a NSR
1 See

Data.’’

initiated in the month immediately
following the anniversary month will be
the twelve-month period immediately
preceding the anniversary month.
Therefore, the POR for this NSR is June
1, 2010, through May 31, 2011. The
sales and entries into the United States
of subject merchandise produced and
exported by GGB occurred during this
twelve-month POR.
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b), the
Department finds that the request
submitted by GGB meets the threshold
requirements for initiation of a NSR for
the shipment of TRBs from the PRC
produced and exported by GGB. See
Initiation Checklist. However, if the
information supplied by GGB is later
found to be incorrect or insufficient
during the course of this proceeding, the
Department may rescind the review or
apply adverse facts available pursuant
to section 776 of the Act, depending
upon the facts on record. The
Department intends to issue the
preliminary results of this NSR no later
than 180 days from the date of
initiation, and the final results no later
than 90 days from the issuance of the
preliminary results. See section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
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, the
Department will issue a questionnaire to
GGB which will include a section
requesting information with regard to
GGB’s export activities for separate rates
purposes. The review will proceed if the
response provides sufficient indication
that GGB is not subject to either de jure
or de facto government control with
respect to its export of subject
merchandise.
The Department will instruct CBP to
allow, at the option of the importer, the
posting, until the completion of the
review, of a bond or security in lieu of
a cash deposit for each entry of the
subject merchandise from GGB in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e).
Because GGB certified that it produced
and exported the subject merchandise,
the Department will apply the bonding
privilege to GGB for all subject
merchandise produced and exported by
GGB.
To assist in its analysis of the bona
fides of GGB’s sales, upon initiation of
PO 00000
Frm 00022

this new shipper review, the
Department will require GGB to submit
on an ongoing basis complete
transaction information concerning any
sales of subject merchandise to the
United States that were made
subsequent to the POR.
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in this NSR
should submit applications for
disclosure under administrative
protective order in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305 and 19 CFR 351.306. This
initiation and notice are in accordance
with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and
