DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE On August 13, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register the initiation of the antidumping duty changed circumstances review on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished (TRBs), from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to determine whether to reinstate the antidumping duty order with respect to Shanghai General Bearing Co., Ltd. (SGBC/SKF).1 The period of review is June 1, 2014, through May 31, 2015. In the Initiation, the Department incorrectly stated in two places that if we determine in this changed circumstances review that SGBC/SKF resumed dumping, ‘‘effective on the date of the publication of our final results,’’ 2 we will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of all entries of TRBs manufactured in the PRC and exported by SGBC/SKF. However, we intended to state the following: ‘‘If we preliminarily determine in this changed circumstances review that SGBC/SKF resumed dumping, we will direct CBP to suspend liquidation of all entries of TRBs manufactured in the PRC, and exported, by SGBC/SKF’’ (emphasis also added). As a result, we now correct the Initiation as noted above. This correction to the initiation of the antidumping duty changed circumstances review is issued and published in accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation of the subject merchandise pending a final and conclusive court decision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 24, 2014, the Department published the AR3 Final Results, 
in which we assigned the PRC-wide rate of 164.09 percent to companies 
including the ATM Single Entity that comprise the PRC-wide entity.\4\ 
The ATM Single Entity challenged our decision to treat it as part of 
the PRC-wide entity and assign the PRC-wide rate to it. On November 9, 
2015, the Court remanded the AR3 Final Results to the Department to 
reconsider the PRC-wide rate in light of the remand redeterminations 
for the two previous reviews that the Department issued after the 
publication of the AR3 Final Results.\5\ In these two remand 
redeterminations, the Department found that the ATM Single Entity was 
not entitled to a separate rate and, therefore, was part of the PRC-
wide entity, and revised the PRC-wide rate using the simple average of 
the margins that had been calculated for the ATM Single Entity in the 
underlying administrative reviews and the petition rate in the less-
than-fair-value investigation, i.e., 164.09 percent.\6\ On remand for 
the third administrative review, the Department revised the PRC-wide 
rate consistent with the immediately preceding administrative review, 
i.e., the second administrative review.\7\ On May 11, 2016, the Court 
upheld our AR3 Remand Redetermination in its entirety.\8\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the 
CAFC held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act), the Department must publish a notice of a court 
decision that is not ``in harmony'' with a Department determination and 
must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court 
decision. The Court's final judgment affirming the AR3 Remand 
Redetermination constitutes the Court's final decision which is not in 
harmony with the AR3 Final Results. This notice is published in 
fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, the 
Department will continue the suspension of liquidation of the subject 
merchandise pending a final and conclusive court decision.

Amended Final Results of Review

    Because there is now a final court decision, the Department is 
amending the AR3 Final Results with respect to the PRC-wide entity, 
which includes the ATM Single Entity, as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-
                                                              average
                        Exporter                              dumping
                                                            margin  (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRC-Wide Entity (which includes the ATM Single Entity)..           82.05
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the event the Court's ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, 
upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, the Department will 
instruct the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping 
duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise based on the 
revised rate the Department determined and listed above.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The current cash deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity is 82.05 
percent, and thus same as the cash deposit rate established in the AR3 
Remand Redetermination.\9\ Therefore, there is no need to update the 
cash deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity as a result of these amended 
final results.
