order on tapered roller bearings and
parts thereof, finished and unfinished
(TRBs), from the People’s Republic of
China (PRC) meets the statutory and
regulatory requirements for initiation.
The period of review (POR) for this NSR
is June 1, 2012, through May 31, 2013.
DATES: As of July 30, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On June 15, 1987, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on TRBs from
the PRC.1 On June 21, 2013, pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), the
Department received a properly filed
NSR request from Tainai during the
anniversary month 2 of the antidumping
duty order.
In its request, Tainai certified that it
is both a producer and exporter of TRBs

Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished or Unfinished,
From the People’s Republic of China, 52 FR 22667
(June 15, 1987).

from the PRC. Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(i), Tainai certified that it
did not export TRBs to the United States
during the period of investigation
(POI).3 In addition, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Tainai certified
that, since the initiation of the
investigation, it has never been affiliated
with any PRC exporter or producer who
exported TRBs to the United States
during the POI, including those
respondents not individually examined
during the investigation.4 As required
by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Tainai
also certified that its export activities
were not controlled by the government
of the PRC.5
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv)(A), (B) and (C), Tainai
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) The date on which
Tainai first shipped TRBs for export to
the United States and the date on which
the TRBs were first entered; (2) the
volume of its first shipment; and (3) the
date of its first sale to an unaffiliated
customer in the United States.6
The Department conducted U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
database queries in an attempt to
confirm that Tainai’s shipment of
subject merchandise had entered the
United States for consumption and that
liquidation of this entry had been
properly suspended for antidumping
duties. The Department also examined
whether the CBP data confirmed that
this entry was made during the POR.
The information the Department
examined was consistent with that
provided by Tainai. After the initiation
of the NSR, the Department intends to
place additional CBP data on the record
and, if necessary, request additional
information from Tainai.
Period of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the POR for an NSR
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, 2012, through May 31, 2013. Based on
the information provided by Tainai, the
sale and entry into the United States of
subject merchandise produced and
exported by Tainai occurred during this
twelve-month POR.

Exhibit 1.
