Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission 
(``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty order on tapered 
roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished (``TRBs''), 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice of 
continuation of the antidumping duty order.

DATES: Effective Date: August 30, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lindsey Novom, AD/CVD Operations,
