Parts Thereof From Italy; Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

United States Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Reviews.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On April 16, 1998, the Department of Commerce published in the

Federal Register (63 FR 18877) a notice of final court decision and

amended final results of administrative reviews of the antidumping duty

orders on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings)

and parts thereof from France, et al for the period May 1, 1991,

through April 30, 1992. After publication of the amended final results,

we discovered that due to a ministerial error the weighted-average

margins published for FAG Italia S.p.A. in the Italian case are

incorrect. We are amending those results to correct this error.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 18, 1998.

Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended (the Act), are references to the provisions in effect

as of December 31, 1994. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Department of Commerce's (the Department's)

Background

On April 16, 1998, the Department published in the Federal Register

(63 FR 18877) amended final results of administrative reviews of the

antidumping duty orders on antifriction bearings (other than tapered

roller bearings) and parts thereof from France, et al covering the

period May 1, 1991, through April 30, 1992. Subsequent to

[[Page 70101]]

the publication of the amended final results, we discovered a

ministerial error with regard to the weighted-average margins published

for FAG Italia S.p.A. in the Italian case. Specifically, for this

company we published the weighted-average margins from prior remand

results. The final weighted-average margins for FAG Italia S.p.A. were

established in FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schafer KgaA., FAG Italia S.p.A,

FAG (U.K.) Limited, Barden Corporation Limited, FAG Bearings

Corporation and The Barden Corporation v. United States, Slip Op. 96-

108 (July 10, 1996). The Court of International Trade affirmed those

rates on December 12, 1996.

Amendment to Final Results

In accordance with section 735(e) of the Act, we are now amending

the final results of administrative reviews of the antidumping duty

orders on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings)

and parts thereof from Italy for the period May 1, 1991, through April

30, 1992. The revised weighted-average margin is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company BBs CRBs

------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAG Italia S.p.A.............................. 5.19 21.90

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accordingly, the Department will determine and the Customs Service

will assess appropriate antidumping duties on entries of the subject

merchandise made by FAG Italia S.p.A. Individual differences between

United States price and foreign market value may vary from the

percentages listed above. The Department will issue appraisement

instructions to the Customs Service after publication of these amended

final results of reviews.

We are issuing and publishing this determination in accordance with

sections 751(h) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.28(c).

Dated: December 14, 1998.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
