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

    \1\ For a complete description of the scope of the order, see 
Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the 
2016-2017 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Tapered Roller 
Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, from the 
People's Republic of China'' (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), 
issued concurrently with and hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. For GGB, we calculated export prices in 
accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because China is a non-market 
economy (NME) within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, for 
GGB, NV was calculated in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. We 
preliminary find that Luoyang is ineligible for a separate rate and is 
part of the China-wide entity.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically 
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://access.trade.gov, and to all parties in the 
Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce 
building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum can be found at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The 
signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. A list of 
the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached 
as the Appendix to this notice.

Rate for Non-Examined Companies Which Are Eligible for a Separate Rate

    As indicated in the ``Preliminary Results of Review'' section 
below, we preliminarily determine that a weighted-average dumping 
margin of 6.87 percent applies to the six firms not selected for 
individual review which are eligible for a separate rate. For further 
information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ``Separate Rate 
Assigned to Non-Selected Companies.''

Preliminary Results of Review

    Twelve companies involved in the administrative review did not 
demonstrate that they are entitled to a separate rate.\2\ Therefore, we 
preliminarily finds these companies to be part of the China-wide 
entity.\3\ The rate previously established for the China-wide entity is 
92.84 percent. One additional company, Hangzhou Xiaoshan Dingli 
Machinery Co., Ltd. (Dingli), could not demonstrate that it had a 
suspended entry during the POR;

[[Page 32264]]

thus, we intend to rescind the review with respect to Dingli.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ These companies are: (1) Apex Maritime Shanghai Co., Ltd.; 
(2) Crossroads Global Trading Co., Ltd.; (3) Honour Lane Shipping 
Ltd.; (4) Kinetsu World Express China Co., Ltd.; (5) Luoyang; (6) 
Pacific Link Intl Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd.; (7) Shanghai Dizhao 
Industrial Trading Co., Ltd.; (8) Thi Group Shanghai Ltd.; (9) 
Weifang Haoxin-Conmet Mechanical Products Co., Ltd.; (10) Yantai 
Huilong Machinery Parts Co.; Ltd.; (11) Zhejiang Machinery Import & 
Export Corp.; and (12) Zhejiang Zhaofeng Mechanical & Electronic 
Co., Ltd.
    \3\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 8. Pursuant to 
Commerce's change in practice, Commerce no longer considers the NME 
entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative 
reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in 
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65970 (November 4, 
2013). Under this practice, the NME entity will not be under review 
unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a 
review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the 
entity, the entity is not under review and the entity's rate is not 
subject to change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average 
dumping margins exist for the period June 1, 2016, through May 31, 
2017:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-

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

    Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final 
results of this administrative review, which will include the results 
of its analysis of all issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 
days of publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results of the administrative review, 
Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries covered by this review.\12\ For each examined 
respondent which is eligible for a separate rate and which has a 
weighted-average dumping margin which is not zero or de minimis (i.e., 
less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem 
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping 
calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value 
of those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice, for entries that were 
not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by an examined 
respondent, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the 
China-wide rate. Additionally, if we determine 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 
cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the respondents which were not selected for individual 
examination in this administrative review and which qualified for a 
separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin determined for the non-examined respondents in 
the final results of this administrative review. For the final results, 
if we continue to treat the 12 exporters preliminarily found not to 
qualify for separate rates as part of the China-wide entity, we will 
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 92.84 percent, 
the current rate established for the China-wide entity, to all entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR which were exported by those 
companies. In addition, if Commerce continues to find that Dingli had 
no suspended entries during the POR, we will rescind the review for 
that company.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market 
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the 
publication of the final results of these reviews.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters 
listed above which have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be 
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final 
results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then 
a cash deposit rate of zero will be established for that company); (2) 
for previously

[[Page 32265]]

investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed 
above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to 
be equal to the exporter-specific weighted-average dumping margin 
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; 
(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been 
found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be 
the cash deposit rate established for the China-wide entity, 92.84 
percent; and (4) for all exporters of subject merchandise which are not 
located in China and which are not eligible for a separate rate, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese 
exporter(s) that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(l), 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(l) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
