                             Judgment

     This matter comes before the Court pursuant to the decision of
the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) in NTN
Bearing Corp. Am. v. United States, 
402 F.3d 1356
(Fed. Cir. 2005)
and the CAFC’s mandate of May 31, 2005, reversing and remanding the
judgment of the Court in NTN Bearing Corp. Am. v. United States, 
25 CIT 664
, 
155 F. Supp. 2d 715
(2001) and NTN Bearing Corp. Am. v.
United States, 
25 CIT 1274
(affirming remand results submitted
pursuant to NTN Bearing Corp. Am., 
25 CIT 664
, 155 F. Supp. 2d
Consol. Court No. 97-01800                                  Page 2


715).1   Based on the CAFC’s decision, the Court remanded this
matter to the United States Department of Commerce (“Commerce”).
Commerce was instructed to allow INA Walzlager Schaeffler oHG and
INA Bearing Company, Inc. (collectively “INA”) an opportunity to
demonstrate that their antidumping duty margins were incorrectly
determined because Commerce’s use of actual expenses did not
account for United States credit and inventory carrying costs in
the calculation of total expenses.     See Order (July 7, 2005).
Commerce filed its Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to
Court Remands (“Remand Results”) on October 5, 2005. Pursuant to
the Court’s remand, Commerce invited INA to show that their dumping
margins had been incorrectly determined. See Remand Results at 3.
INA, however, failed to respond to Commerce’s invitation. See 
id. at 3-4. Commerce
determined INA’s antidumping duty margins, some which
differed slightly from previously determined margins in response to
earlier remands from the Court.     See 
id. at 4-5. Accordingly,
INA’s weighted-average percentage margins for the period of May 1,
1994, through April 30, 1995, is 19.43 percent for ball bearings
and parts thereof and 18.31 percent for cylindrical roller bearings
and parts thereof. INA’s weighted-average percentage margins for
the period of    May 1, 1995, through April 30, 1996, is 44.53
percent for ball bearings and parts thereof, 20.09 percent for
cylindrical roller bearings and parts thereof and 28.62 percent for
spherical roller bearings and parts thereof.

     This Court, having received and reviewed Commerce’s Remand
Results, holds that Commerce duly complied with the Court’s remand
order and it is hereby

     ORDERED that Commerce’s Remand Results are reasonable,
supported by substantial evidence, and is otherwise in accordance
with law; and it is further

5, 2005, are affirmed in their entirety; and it is further

case is dismissed.
