date of publication of these final results
of review.
Additionally, consistent with the
Department’s refinement to its
assessment practice in NME cases,
because the Department determined that
TMI had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, any
suspended entries that entered under
TMI’s antidumping duty case number
(i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will be
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.13
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice of final
results of the administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For TMI, which claimed no
shipments, the cash deposit rate will
remain unchanged from the rate
assigned to TMI in the most recently
completed review of the company; (2)
for previously investigated or reviewed
PRC and non-PRC exporters who are not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding but who have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 141.49
percent; 14 and (4) 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 non-PRC exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

Analysis of the Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs by
parties to these administrative reviews
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues which
parties have raised and to which we
have responded is in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum and attached to
this notice as an Appendix. The Issues
and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
iaaccess.trade.gov and it is available to
all parties in the Central Records Unit
(CRU), room 7046 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The
signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Rescission of Review in Part
In the Post-Preliminary Analysis, we
stated our intent to rescind the
35313
administrative review of ball bearings
and parts thereof from Japan in part, for
Tsubakimoto Precision Products Co.,
Ltd. (Tsubakimoto). Because no
interested parties provided comments
concerning our intent to rescind in part,
we are rescinding the Japan review with
respect to Tsubakimoto.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we made revisions
and corrected programming and other
errors in the weighted-average dumping
margins which we included in the
Preliminary Results and the PostPreliminary Analysis, where applicable.
These changes, however, did not affect
the final weighted-average dumping
margins for the reviewed respondents. A
detailed discussion of each change we
made is in the company-specific
analysis memoranda dated concurrently
with this notice, which are on file
electronically via IA ACCESS and in the
CRU of the main Commerce building.9
Final Results of the Reviews
We determine that the weightedaverage dumping margins on ball
bearings and parts thereof exist for the
period May 1, 2009, through April 30,
2010, at the following rates:

Assessment Rates
In accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews,10 we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate the entries
pertaining to these reviews without
regard to antidumping duties because
the weighted-average dumping margin
for each respondent is zero or de
minimis.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
companies selected for individual
examination in these reviews for which
the reviewed companies did not know
their merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the country-specific all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. For a full discussion of
this clarification, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of these
reviews.

antidumping duties on future entries of
subject merchandise will be required.11
Notifications
This notice serves as a final 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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or the
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
These final results of administrative
reviews are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.

Marsh to Deputy Assistant Secretary Lynn Fischer Fox entitled
``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Antidumping Duty
Administrative Reviews of Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from Japan
and the United Kingdom; 2009-2010'' dated concurrently with this
notice and hereby adopted by this notice (Issues and Decision
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis of the Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs by parties to these
administrative reviews are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues which parties have raised and to which
we have responded is in the Issues and Decision Memorandum and attached
to this notice as an Appendix. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and it is available to all parties in the
Central Records Unit (CRU), room 7046 of the main Department of
Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum
and the electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Rescission of Review in Part
In the Post-Preliminary Analysis, we stated our intent to rescind
the administrative review of ball bearings and parts thereof from Japan
in part, for Tsubakimoto Precision Products Co., Ltd. (Tsubakimoto).
Because no interested parties provided comments concerning our intent
to rescind in part, we are rescinding the Japan review with respect to
Tsubakimoto.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made revisions
and corrected programming and other errors in the weighted-average
dumping margins which we included in the Preliminary Results and the
Post-Preliminary Analysis, where applicable. These changes, however,
did not affect the final weighted-average dumping margins for the
reviewed respondents. A detailed discussion of each change we made is
in the company-specific analysis memoranda dated concurrently with this
notice, which are on file electronically via IA ACCESS and in the CRU
of the main Commerce building.\9\

Seiko Co., Ltd., NSK Ltd., NTN Corporation, and NSK Bearings Europe
Ltd. dated concurrently with this notice.

Final Results of the Reviews
We determine that the weighted-average dumping margins on ball
bearings and parts thereof exist for the period May 1, 2009, through
April 30, 2010, at the following rates:

Assessment Rates
In accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews,\10\ we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate the
entries pertaining to these reviews without regard to antidumping
duties because the weighted-average dumping margin for each respondent
is zero or de minimis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the period of review produced by companies selected
for individual examination in these reviews for which the reviewed
companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the country-specific all-others rate if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full
discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6,
2003).
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of these reviews.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because we revoked the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings and
parts thereof from Japan and the United Kingdom effective September 15,
2011, no cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties on future
entries of subject merchandise will be required.\11\

United Kingdom: Final Results of Sunset Reviews and Revocation of
Antidumping Duty Orders, 79 FR 16771 (March 26, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notifications
This notice serves as a final 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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or the destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
These final results of administrative reviews are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
Dated: June 13, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Policy and Negotiations.
