15 days after publication of the final
results of this administrative review.
Where the respondent reported
reliable entered values, we calculated
importer (or customer)-specific ad
valorem rates by aggregating the
dumping margins calculated for all U.S.
sales to each importer (or customer) and
dividing this amount by the total
entered value of the sales to each
importer (or customer).8 Where the
Department calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin by dividing the
total amount of dumping for reviewed
sales to that party by the total sales
quantity associated with those
transactions, the Department will direct
CBP to assess importer-specific
assessment rates based on the resulting
per-unit rates.9 Where an importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is greater than de minimis (i.e.,
0.50 percent), the Department will
instruct CBP to collect the appropriate
duties at the time of liquidation.10
Where an importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is
zero or de minimis, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.11
Pursuant to the Department’s
assessment practice, for entries that
were not reported in the U.S. sales
databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this
review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
PRC-wide entity rate. Additionally, if
the Department determines that an
exporter 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 entity rate.12
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
exporters listed above, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the
final results of this review (except, if the
rate is zero or de minimis, a zero cash
deposit rate will be required for that

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
company); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing producer/
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be eligible for a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 285.63
percent; 13 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.
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed regarding these final results
within five days of the date of
publication of this notice to parties in
this proceeding in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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
has occurred and that subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
of their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3),
which continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to
judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a
violation which is subject to sanction.

SUMMARY: On July 13, 2016, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the changed circumstances
review and intent to reinstate Shanghai
General Bearing Co., Ltd. (SGBC/SKF) in
the antidumping duty order on tapered
roller bearings and parts thereof,
finished and unfinished, (TRBs) from
the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
This review covers TRBs from the PRC
manufactured and exported by SGBC/
SKF. The period of review is June 1,
2014, through May 31, 2015. Based on
our analysis of the comments received,
we made changes to the margin
calculations. Therefore, the final results
differ from the preliminary results.
Further, we continue to determine that
SGBC/SKF sold TRBs at less than
normal value (NV), and, as a result, we
are reinstating SGBC/SKF in the
antidumping order on TRBs from the
PRC. The final weighted-average
dumping margin is listed below in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 13, 2016, the Department
published the preliminary results of this
changed circumstances review and
intent to reinstate SGBC/SKF in the
antidumping duty order on TRBs from
the PRC.1 This review covers TRBs from
the PRC manufactured and exported by
SGBC/SKF. The period of review is June
1, 2014, through May 31, 2015.
In August 2016, we received case
briefs from the Timken Company (the
petitioner) and SGBC/SKF; we also
received a letter in lieu of a case brief
from Stemco LP (Stemco), an interested
party in the proceeding, in which
Stemco supported the arguments made
in the petitioner’s case brief. In
September 2016, we received rebuttal
briefs from the petitioner and SGBC/
SKF. In October 2016, the Department
held a public hearing at the request of
the petitioner.
The Department conducted this
changed circumstances review in
accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act)
and 19 CFR 351.216(d).

Basis for Reinstatement
In requesting revocation, pursuant to
19 CFR 353.25(b) (1996) and 19 CFR
353.25(a)(2)(iii) (1996),4 SGBC/SKF
agreed to immediate reinstatement of
the order, so long as any exporter or
producer is subject to the order, if the
Secretary concludes that subsequent to
the revocation, SGBC/SKF sold TRBs at
less than NV.5 Under 19 CFR
353.25(a)(2)(iii) (1996), as long as any
exporter or producer is subject to an
antidumping duty order which remains
in force, an entity previously granted a
revocation may be reinstated under that
order if it is established that the entity
has resumed the dumping of subject
merchandise.
In this case, because other exporters
in the PRC remain subject to the TRBs
order, the order remains in effect, and
SGBC/SKF may be reinstated in the
order. The Department granted SGBC/
SKF revocation based, in part, upon its
agreement to immediate reinstatement
in the antidumping duty order if the
Department were to find that the
company resumed dumping of TRBs
from the PRC.6
As discussed in the Issues and
Decision Memo, we examined SGBC/
SKF’s response and preliminarily found

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations,
to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations,
dated concurrently with, and adopted by, this
notice (Issues and Decision Memo).
4 The regulation that was in effect when SGBC/
SKF requested revocation was amended in 1997 to
become 19 CFR 351.222(b). This regulation was
then revoked in 2012. See Modification to
Regulation Concerning the Revocation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 77
FR 29875 (May 21, 2012). However, when revoking
this regulation, the Department noted that ‘‘[a]ny
company that has been revoked from an
antidumping . . . order will remain subject to its
certified agreement to be reinstated with respect to
that order if the Department finds it to have
resumed dumping . . . .’’ See id. at 29882.

SUMMARY: On July 13, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the changed circumstances review
and intent to reinstate Shanghai General Bearing Co., Ltd. (SGBC/SKF)
in the antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and parts
thereof, finished and unfinished, (TRBs) from the People's Republic of
China (PRC). This review covers TRBs from the PRC manufactured and
exported by SGBC/SKF. The period of review is June 1, 2014, through May
31, 2015. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made
changes to the margin calculations. Therefore, the final results differ
from the preliminary results. Further, we continue to determine that
SGBC/SKF sold TRBs at less than normal value (NV), and, as a result, we
are reinstating SGBC/SKF in the antidumping order on TRBs from the PRC.
The final weighted-average dumping margin is listed below in the

In August 2016, we received case briefs from the Timken Company
(the petitioner) and SGBC/SKF; we also received a letter in lieu of a
case brief from Stemco LP (Stemco), an interested party in the
proceeding, in which Stemco supported the arguments made in the
petitioner's case brief. In September 2016, we received rebuttal briefs
from the petitioner and SGBC/SKF. In October 2016, the Department held
a public hearing at the request of the petitioner.
The Department conducted this changed circumstances review in
accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act) and 19 CFR 351.216(d).

In requesting revocation, pursuant to 19 CFR 353.25(b) (1996) and
19 CFR 353.25(a)(2)(iii) (1996),\4\ SGBC/SKF agreed to immediate
reinstatement of the order, so long as any exporter or producer is
subject to the order, if the Secretary concludes that subsequent to the
revocation, SGBC/SKF sold TRBs at less than NV.\5\ Under 19 CFR
353.25(a)(2)(iii) (1996), as long as any exporter or producer is
subject to an antidumping duty order which remains in force, an entity
previously granted a revocation may be reinstated under that order if
it is established that the entity has resumed the dumping of subject
merchandise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The regulation that was in effect when SGBC/SKF requested
revocation was amended in 1997 to become 19 CFR 351.222(b). This
regulation was then revoked in 2012. See Modification to Regulation
Concerning the Revocation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Orders, 77 FR 29875 (May 21, 2012). However, when revoking this
regulation, the Department noted that ``[a]ny company that has been
revoked from an antidumping . . . order will remain subject to its
certified agreement to be reinstated with respect to that order if
the Department finds it to have resumed dumping . . . .'' See id. at
29882.

Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China; Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Revocation in Part of
Antidumping Duty Order, 62 FR 6189 (February 11, 1997) (for the
1993-1994 review) (SGBC/SKF Revocation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this case, because other exporters in the PRC remain subject to
the TRBs order, the order remains in effect, and SGBC/SKF may be
reinstated in the order. The Department granted SGBC/SKF revocation
based, in part, upon its agreement to immediate reinstatement in the
antidumping duty order if the Department were to find that the company
resumed dumping of TRBs from the PRC.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memo, we examined SGBC/
SKF's response and preliminarily found that SGBC/SKF's dumping margin
for the review period is greater than de minimis. Accordingly, we are
reinstating SGBC/SKF in the antidumping duty order on TRBs from the
PRC.

Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made changes in
the margin calculation for SGBC/SKF. These changes are discussed in the
relevant sections of the Issues and Decision Memo.
Final Results of Review
The Department determines that the following weighted-average
dumping margin exists for the period June 1, 2014, through May 31,
2015:

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed within five days
of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because we established that TRBs from the PRC manufactured and
exported by SGBC/SKF are being sold at less than NV, SGBC/SKF is hereby
[[Page 4855]]
reinstated in the antidumping duty order on TRBs from the PRC effective
upon the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. We will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect a cash
deposit equal to the margin listed above on all entries of subject
merchandise manufactured and exported by SGBC/SKF that are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication
date of this notice. This deposit requirement, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
