AGENCY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On May 15, 1989, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty orders on ball
bearings and parts thereof from France,
Germany, and Italy. See Antidumping
Duty Orders: Ball Bearings, Cylindrical
Roller Bearings, Spherical Plain
Bearings, and Parts Thereof From
France, 54 FR 20902 (May 15, 1989),
Antidumping Duty Orders: Ball
Bearings, Cylindrical Roller Bearings,
and Spherical Plain Bearings and Parts
Thereof From the Federal Republic of
Germany, 54 FR 20900 (May 15, 1989),
and Antidumping Duty Orders: Ball
Bearings and Cylindrical Roller
Bearings, and Parts Thereof From Italy,
54 FR 20903 (May 15, 1989).
On August 1, 2011, the Department
initiated the sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty orders on ball
bearings and parts thereof from France,
Germany, and Italy pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). See Initiation
Notice.1 We received no notice of intent
to participate in response to the notice
of initiation from domestic interested
parties by the applicable deadline. See
19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). As a result, the
Department has concluded that no
domestic party intends to participate in
the sunset reviews. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A). On August 24,
2011, we notified the International
Trade Commission, in writing, that we
intend to revoke the antidumping duty
orders on ball bearings and parts thereof
from France, Germany, and Italy. See 19
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2).
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by the orders
are ball bearings and parts thereof.
These products include all antifriction
bearings that employ balls as the rolling
element. Imports of these products are
classified under the following
categories: antifriction balls, ball
bearings with integral shafts, ball
bearings (including radial ball bearings)
and parts thereof, and housed or
mounted ball bearing units and parts
thereof.
1 The Department inadvertently included two
revoked antidumping duty orders in the Initiation
Notice. See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’)

Although the HTSUS item numbers
above are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written
descriptions of the scope of the orders
remain dispositive.
The size or precision grade of a
bearing does not influence whether the
bearing is covered by one of the orders.
The orders cover all the subject bearings
and parts thereof (inner race, outer race,
cage, rollers, balls, seals, shields, etc.)
outlined above with certain limitations.
With regard to finished parts, all such
parts are included in the scope of the
orders. For unfinished parts, such parts
are included if they have been heattreated or if heat treatment is not
required to be performed on the part.
Thus, the only unfinished parts that are
not covered by the orders are those that
will be subject to heat treatment after
importation. The ultimate application of
a bearing also does not influence
whether the bearing is covered by the
orders. Bearings designed for highly
specialized applications are not
excluded. Any of the subject bearings,
regardless of whether they may
ultimately be utilized in aircraft,
automobiles, or other equipment, are
within the scope of the orders.
For a list of scope determinations
which pertain to the orders, see the
‘‘Memorandum to Laurie Parkhill’’
regarding scope determinations for the
2009/2010 administrative reviews dated
April 14, 2011, which is on file in the
Central Records Unit (CRU) of the main

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3),
if no domestic interested party files a
notice of intent to participate, the
Department shall issue a final
determination revoking the order within
90 days of the initiation of the review.
Because no domestic interested party
filed a timely notice of intent to
participate in the sunset reviews, the
Department finds that no domestic
interested party is participating in the
sunset reviews. Therefore, we are
revoking the antidumping duty orders
on ball bearings and parts thereof from
France, Germany, and Italy. The
effective date of revocation is September
15, 2011, the fifth anniversary of the
continuation of the antidumping duty
orders. See Tapered Roller Bearings and
Parts Thereof from the People’s
Republic of China and Ball Bearings
and Parts Thereof from France,

15, 2006).
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the
Department intends to issue instructions
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
to terminate the suspension of
liquidation of entries of the
merchandise subject to the orders which
were entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
September 15, 2011. Entries of subject
merchandise prior to September, 15,
2011, will continue to be subject to the
suspension of liquidation and
requirements for deposits of estimated
antidumping duties. The Department
will conduct administrative reviews of
the orders with respect to subject
merchandise entered prior to the
effective date of revocation in response
to appropriately filed requests for
review.
These final results of the five-year
(sunset) reviews and notice are
published in accordance with sections
751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Department of Commerce (the
Department) published a notice of
initiation of an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Taiwan. The review covers eight
firms. Based on a withdrawal of the

from United States Steel Corporation
(Petitioner), we are now rescinding this
administrative review with respect to
six of those firms.
DATES: Effective Date: September 15,
2011.

Background
On June 28, 2011, the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on circular welded carbon steel pipes
and tubes from Taiwan covering the
period May 1, 2010, through April 30,
2011. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 76 FR 37781 (June 28, 2011). The
review covers eight companies. The
Petitioner was the sole party to request
reviews of these eight companies.

withdraws the request within 90 days of
the publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review, the
Secretary will rescind the review. The
Petitioner withdrew its review request
with respect to six companies within
the 90-day deadline, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Therefore, in accordance with section
351.213(d)(1) of the Department’s
regulations, we are partially rescinding
this review with respect to the following
six companies: (1) E United Group; (2)
Yieh Corp.; (3) Yieh Hsing Enterprise
Co., Ltd.; (4) Far East Machinery Co.
Ltd.; (5) Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel
Corp. (also known as Kao Hsiung Chang
Iron & Steel Corp.); and (6) Tension
Steel Industries Co. Ltd. This review
will continue with respect to Yieh Phui
Enterprise Co., Ltd. and Chung Hung
Steel Corp.
Assessment Instructions
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. For the companies
for which this review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded 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.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
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
