RE: REVOCATION OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON TAPERED ROLLER
BEARINGS FROM ITALY (A-475-603)


1. AS A RESULT OF A NOTIFICATION FROM THE PETITIONER, THE
TIMKEN COMPANY, THAT IT IS NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THE
ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS FROM
ITALY. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HAS REVOKED THIS
ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER/FINDING AND PUBLISHED THE REVOCATION
IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ON OCTOBER 9, 1996.

2. THEREFORE, CUSTOMS IS DIRECTED TO TERMINATE THE SUSPENSION
OF LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS
FROM ITALY ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE, FOR
CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER AUGUST 1, 1996, AND TO LIQUIDATE
SUSPENDED ENTRY SUMMARIES WITHOUT REGARD TO ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES.

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE CUSTOMS SERVICE
ON ENTRIES OF THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778

DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. THE INTEREST
PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO CASH OR BONDS POSTED AS
ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BEFORE THE DATE OF PUBLICATION
OF THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER. INTEREST SHALL BE CALCULATED
FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES
THROUGH THE DATE OF LIQUIDATION. THE RATE AT WHICH SUCH
INTEREST IS PAYABLE IS THE RATE IN EFFECT UNDER SECTION 6621
OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1954 FOR SUCH PERIOD.
