International Trade Administration May 7, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On March 11, 2008, pursuant to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.216 and 351.221(c)(3), the Department of Commerce initiated a changed- circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on ball bearings and parts thereof from Germany with respect to myonic GmbH. See Initiation of Antidumping Duty Changed-Circumstances Review: Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from Germany, 73 FR 12953 (March 11, 2008) (myonic Initiation). After reviewing information on the record, we have preliminarily concluded that myonic GmbH is the successor-in-interest to Miniaturkugellager Gesellschaft mit beschr[auml]nkter Haftung and, as a result, should be accorded the same treatment previously accorded Miniaturkugellager Gesellschaft mit beschr[auml]nkter Haftung with regard to the antidumping duty order on ball bearings and parts thereof from Germany. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.

In response to requests from interested parties, the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof (ball bearings) from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The reviews cover 27 manufacturers/exporters. The period of review is May 1, 2006, through April 30, 2007. We have preliminarily determined that sales have been made below normal value by companies subject to these reviews. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative reviews, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments in these reviews are requested to submit with each argument (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument.
