Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the postpreliminary comments by parties in
these reviews are addressed in the
memorandum from Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for
the Final Results of the New Shipper
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
on Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts
Thereof, Finished and Unfinished from
the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated
October 19, 2012 (‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues that parties raised and to which
the Department responded in the Issues

to this notice as an appendix. The Issues
and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file in the Central

subheading 8708.99.8015 is renumbered as
8708.99.8115. See United States International Trade
Commission (‘‘USITC’’) publication entitled,

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we have made the
following changes to our Preliminary
Results:
• The normal value that was
compared to U.S. price was calculated
using certain factors of production that
were reported on a per-kilogram basis
while U.S. price was reported on a perpiece basis. In the final results, we
corrected the dumping analysis to
accurately reflect GGB’s reported
consumption of its inputs on a per-piece
basis.5
• We used the incorrect variable
name for the entered value of the TRBs
sold by GGB during the POR. In the
final results, we corrected the variable
name in the margin program to
accurately reflect the reported variable
name for entered value and corrected
the assessment rate programming
language.6
• GGB reported a steel scrap byproduct. We intended to grant an offset
for this byproduct but made a clerical
error in the Preliminary Results by not
granting an offset for the steel scrap but
rather, adding it to direct materials in
the calculation of normal value. In the
final results, we corrected the normal
value calculation to include steel scrap
as a by-product offset.7
• We have recalculated surrogate
financial ratios using different financial
statements from those used in the
Preliminary Results.8
New Shipper Status
No party has contested the bona fide
nature of GGB’s sales during the POR.
Therefore, for these final results, we
find, as in the Preliminary Results, that
the sales made by GGB during the POR
of this NSR were made on a bona fide
basis.
Surrogate Country
Since the Preliminary Results, no
interested party has commented on the
selection of Thailand as the primary
surrogate country. Therefore, we
continue to determine that Thailand is

the appropriate primary surrogate
country for the final results of this NSR.
Separate Rates
The Department found in the
Preliminary Results that GGB was
wholly foreign-owned, and, therefore,
further analysis was not necessary to
determine whether GGB’s export
activities are independent from
government control.9 No party has
contested the separate rate status of GGB
during the POR. Therefore, for the final
results, we continue to determine that
GGB is eligible for a separate rate.
Final Results of the New Shipper
Review
The Department has determined that
the following weighted-average
dumping margin exists for GGB for the
period June 1, 2010, through May 31,
2011:

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the publication date of the final
results of this review. Because GGB’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
above de minimis, we will calculate
importer-specific ad valorem
antidumping duty assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for each importer’s
examined sales to the total entered
value of those same sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),
we will instruct CBP to liquidate
without regard to antidumping duties
the appropriate entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for which
the importer-specific assessment rate is
zero or de minimis.
Cash Deposit Requirements
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Consistent with Departmental practice
in new shipper reviews, the Department
has established a combination cash
deposit rate for GGB as described below.
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
NSR 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 Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’): (1)
For subject merchandise exported and
produced by GGB, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in the final
results of this review; (2) for subject
merchandise exported by GGB but not
produced by GGB, the cash deposit rate
will be the PRC-wide rate of 92.84
percent; (3) for subject merchandise
produced by GGB but not exported by
GGB, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the exporter; (4) for
other previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(5) for all other PRC exporters of subject
merchandise, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 92.84 percent;
and (6) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the
PRC exporter(s) that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
International Trade Administration
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as a 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 POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
The Department is issuing and
publishing this determination in
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)
and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.214(h) and 351.221(b)(4).

We used the incorrect variable name for the entered value
of the TRBs sold by GGB during the POR. In the final results, we
corrected the variable name in the margin program to accurately reflect
the reported variable name for entered value and corrected the
assessment rate programming language.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
GGB reported a steel scrap by-product. We intended to
grant an offset for this byproduct but made a clerical error in the
Preliminary Results by not granting an offset for the steel scrap but
rather, adding it to direct materials in the calculation of normal
value. In the final results, we corrected the normal value calculation
to include steel scrap as a by-product offset.\7\

We have recalculated surrogate financial ratios using
different financial statements from those used in the Preliminary

New Shipper Status
No party has contested the bona fide nature of GGB's sales during
the POR. Therefore, for these final results, we find, as in the
Preliminary Results, that the sales made by GGB during the POR of this
NSR were made on a bona fide basis.
Surrogate Country
Since the Preliminary Results, no interested party has commented on
the selection of Thailand as the primary surrogate country. Therefore,
we continue to determine that Thailand is
[[Page 65669]]
the appropriate primary surrogate country for the final results of this
NSR.
Separate Rates
The Department found in the Preliminary Results that GGB was wholly
foreign-owned, and, therefore, further analysis was not necessary to

The Department will disclose the calculations performed for these
final results to the parties within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review. The Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final
results of this review. Because GGB's weighted-average dumping margin
is above de minimis, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem
antidumping duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). In accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will
instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties the
appropriate entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which the
importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Consistent with Departmental practice in new shipper reviews, the
Department has established a combination cash deposit rate for GGB as
described below. The following cash deposit requirements will be
effective upon publication of the final results of this NSR for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
