On July 8, 2015, the Court remanded the Final Results for the Department to apply a differential pricing analysis.\3\ On remand, the Department applied a differential pricing analysis, under protest, and as a result, the weighted-average dumping margin for each respondent subject to these administrative reviews changed. On May 10, 2016, the Court upheld the Final Remand Redetermination in full.\4\

Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the CAFC held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department must publish a notice of a court decision that is not ``in harmony'' with a Department determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The Remand Affirmation sustaining the Final Remand Redetermination constitutes a final decision of the Court which is not in harmony with the Final Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken.

Because there is now a final court decision, the Department is amending the Final Results with respect to all respondents as follows:

In the event the Court's ruling is not appealed, or if it is appealed and upheld by the CAFC, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on entries of the subject merchandise exported by the companies listed above. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for Asahi Seiko Co., Ltd., Mori Seiki Co., Ltd., NSK Ltd., NSK Bearings Europe Ltd., and NTN Corporation and NTN Kongo Corporation, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates by dividing the total amount of dumping for the reviewed sales by the total entered vale of those reviewed sales for each importer.
For entries of subject merchandise during the period of reviews produced by Asahi Seiko Co., Ltd., Mori Seiki Co., Ltd., NSK Ltd., NSK Bearings Europe Ltd., and NTN Corporation and NTN Kongo Corporation, for which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the country-specific all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
For all other companies listed above, which were not selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at a rate equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed above to all entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by such firms.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because we revoked the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from Japan and the United Kingdom effective September 15, 2011, no cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties on future entries of subject merchandise will be required.\5\
