Court No. 97-12-02123

FINAL RESULTS OF REDETERMINATION PURSUANT TO COURT REMAND

SUMMARY

The Department of Commerce has prepared these final results of redetermination pursuant to the remand order from the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) in the case of Peer Bearing Company v. United States, Slip Op. 99-66 (July 21, 1999) (Peer). In accordance with the CIT's instruction, we have recalculated the weighted-average margin for the Peer Bearing Company in Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China; Final Results of Antidumping Administrative Review, (62 FR 61, 276 (November 17, 1997)), by correcting the clerical error regarding the improper use of skilled and unskilled labor rates.

REDETERMINATION CHANGE

On July 21, 1999, the CIT issued an order in Peer remanding to the Department of Commerce (the Department) Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China; Final Results of Antidumping Administrative Review, (62 FR 61, 276 (November 17, 1997)) (collectively "Final Results"). The period of review covered is June 1, 1995, through May 31, 1996.

In Peer, the CIT remanded the Final Results to the Department to correct an inadvertent reversal of the skilled and unskilled labor rates in its calculation of Peer's factors of production. We have now used the proper unskilled labor rate of 25.42 Rupees per hour and the proper skilled labor rate of 46.6 Rupees per hour in our calculations.

Torrington asserts that the Department, in its questionnaire, [******************]. According to Torrington, since Chin Jun [************************] Torrington contends that Chin Jun reported all its [*********************.] Torrington asserts that, since Chin Jun [************].

Department's Position: Torrington's opportunity to comment on clerical error issues in this case were exhausted at the time it filed its brief to the CIT regarding this case. Therefore, we find Torrington's allegations to be untimely and inconsequential at this stage of the proceeding.

FINAL RESULTS OF REDETERMINATION

As a result of this redetermination, we have recalculated the weighted-average percentage dumping margin for the Peer Bearing Company as follows:
