Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From Japan and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Sunset Reviews and Revocation of Antidumping Duty Orders, 16771-16772 [2014-06702]

<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 2014 / Notices
initiated the first five-year (‘‘sunset’’)
review of the antidumping duty order
on laminated woven sacks from the PRC
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’).2
As a result of its review, the Department
determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on laminated
woven sacks from the PRC would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC
of the magnitude of the margins likely
to prevail should the order be revoked.3
On March 18, 2014, the ITC published
its determination, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on laminated
woven sacks from the PRC would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.4

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is laminated woven sacks. Laminated
woven sacks are bags or sacks consisting
of one or more plies of fabric consisting
of woven polypropylene strip and/or
woven polyethylene strip, regardless of
the width of the strip; with or without
an extrusion coating of polypropylene
and/or polyethylene on one or both
sides of the fabric; laminated by any
method either to an exterior ply of
plastic film such as biaxially-oriented
polypropylene (‘‘BOPP’’) or to an
exterior ply of paper that is suitable for
high quality print graphics5; printed
with three colors or more in register;
with or without lining; whether or not
closed on one end; whether or not in
roll form (including sheets, lay-flat
tubing, and sleeves); with or without
handles; with or without special closing
features; not exceeding one kilogram in
weight. Laminated woven sacks are
typically used for retail packaging of
consumer goods such as pet foods and
bird seed.
Effective July 1, 2007, laminated
woven sacks are classifiable under

Laminated woven sacks were previously
classifiable under HTSUS subheading
6305.33.0020. If entered with plastic
coating on both sides of the fabric
consisting of woven polypropylene strip
and/or woven polyethylene strip,
laminated woven sacks may be
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings
3923.21.0080, 3923.21.0095, and
3923.29.0000. If entered not closed on
one end or in roll form (including

laminated woven sacks may be
classifiable under other HTSUS
subheadings including 3917.39.0050,
3921.90.1100, 3921.90.1500, and
5903.90.2500. If the polypropylene
strips and/or polyethylene strips making
up the fabric measure more than 5
millimeters in width, laminated woven
sacks may be classifiable under other
HTSUS subheadings including
4601.99.0500, 4601.99.9000, and
4602.90.0000. Although HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping order on laminated woven
sacks from the PRC. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
collect antidumping duty cash deposits
at the rates in effect at the time of entry
for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of
the order will be the date of publication
in the Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department
intends to initiate the next five-year
review of the order not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of continuation.
This five-year (‘‘sunset’’) review and
this notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 20, 2014.

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

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.
Revocation
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 these sunset reviews, the
Department finds that no domestic
interested party is participating in these
sunset reviews. Therefore, we are
revoking the antidumping duty orders
on ball bearings and parts thereof from
Japan and the United Kingdom. The
effective date of revocation is September
15, 2011, the fifth anniversary of the
most recent notice of continuation of the
antidumping duty orders.7
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
(CBP) 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

determination revoking the order within 90 days of the initiation of

of intent to participate in these sunset reviews, the Department finds
that no domestic interested party is participating in these sunset
reviews. Therefore, we are revoking the antidumping duty orders on ball
bearings and parts thereof from Japan and the United Kingdom. The
effective date of revocation is September 15, 2011, the fifth
anniversary of the most recent notice of continuation of the
antidumping duty orders.\7\
