Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review and Partial Termination of Administrative Review

In response to requests by the petitioner and by Peer Bearing Company/Chin Jun Industrial, Ltd. (Chin Jun), the Department of Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from the People's Republic of China. The period of review is June 1, 1995, through May 31, 1996. Although we included Shanghai General Bearing Co., Ltd. in our initiation notice, we subsequently revoked the order with regard to this respondent. Therefore, we are terminating this review with respect to this respondent (see Background section below). We have preliminarily determined that sales have been made below normal value by various companies subject to this review. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative review, we will instruct U.S. Customs to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments in this proceeding are requested to submit with each argument (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument.
