Successor-in-Interest Determination
In accordance with section 751(b)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), we are conducting this CCR
based upon the information contained
in SGBC/SKF’s and other interested
parties’ submissions. In making a
successor-in-interest determination, the
Department examines several factors,
including, but not limited to, changes in
the following: (1) Management; (2)
production facilities; (3) supplier
relationships; and (4) customer base.5
While no single factor or combination of
factors will necessarily provide a
dispositive indication of a successor-ininterest relationship, generally, the
Department will consider the new
company to be the successor to the
previous company if the new company’s
resulting operation is not materially
dissimilar to that of its predecessor.6
Thus, if the record evidence
demonstrates that, with respect to the
production and sale of the subject
merchandise, the new company
operates as the same business entity as
the predecessor company, the
Department will generally accord the
new company the same AD treatment as
its predecessor.7
SGBC was revoked from the order in
1997 and became part of the SKF Group
in 2012. In conducting a successor-ininterest analysis, while we generally
consider information from immediately
before and after the formation of a new
entity, the Department considers all
information on the record relevant to
the determination.8 In the instant case,
we compared SGBC/SKF to the entity

that was revoked from the order, and we
considered the changes to that entity
since revocation.
Preliminary Results
We preliminarily find SGBC/SKF to
be the successor-in-interest to SGBC
because the information on the record
indicates that SGBC/SKF continues to
operate as essentially the same entity
that was revoked from the order.
Although there were changes in SGBC’s
production process and board
membership after revocation, these
changes were made over a number of
years and do not appear to be linked to
changes in ownership structure. Rather,
they are changes generally in the normal
course of business that would occur
over such a long period (i.e.,
approximately two decades). Thus, after
considering the facts on the record as a
whole, we do not find that SGBC/SKF’s
operations (based on an examination of
its management, production facilities,
supplier relationships, and customer
base), changed so significantly such that
we would find that that it is a different
entity from SGBC. For the Department’s
detailed analysis, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.9

at the U.S. Department of Commerce,
1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington DC 20230. The Department
intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the
results of its analysis of the issues raised
in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this
notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.5 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review. The
Department intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of subject merchandise
from the PRC-wide entity, including
entries of subject merchandise from
Zhengzhou Shangdao, at 128.59 percent
(the PRC-wide rate). Additionally,
pursuant to the Department’s practice in
NME cases, if we continue to determine
that Hunan Valin had no shipments of
the subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number (i.e., at that
exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the
PRC-wide rate. For a full discussion of
this practice, see Non-Market Economy
Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694
(October 24, 2011).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For Hunan Valin, which had no
shipments, the cash deposit rate will

company; (2) for previously investigated
or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
which are not under review in this
segment of the proceeding but which
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,
including Zhengzhou Shangdao, the
cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide
rate of 128.59 percent; 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 also serves as a
preliminary 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 double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.

ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, within 30 days after the
date of publication of this notice.\4\ Hearing requests should contain:
(1) The party's name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised
in the hearing will be limited to those issues raised in the respective
case briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be
notified of the time and date of the hearing which will be held at the
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington
DC 20230. The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the
issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the
date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\5\ The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this
review. The Department intends to instruct CBP to liquidate entries of
subject merchandise from the PRC-wide entity, including entries of
subject merchandise from Zhengzhou Shangdao, at 128.59 percent (the
PRC-wide rate). Additionally, pursuant to the Department's practice in
NME cases, if we continue to determine that Hunan Valin had no
shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that
entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's
rate) will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate. For a full discussion of
this practice, see Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For Hunan Valin, which had no shipments, the cash deposit rate
will
[[Page 69427]]
remain unchanged from the rate assigned to this company in the most
recently completed review of the company; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters which are not under
review in this segment of the proceeding but which 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, including Zhengzhou Shangdao, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 128.59 percent; 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 also serves as a preliminary 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 double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: November 7, 2014.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
