SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Department) is amending the preliminarily determination of the antidumping duty (AD) investigation of certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires (passenger tires) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) to correct significant ministerial errors.

Analysis of Significant Ministerial Error Allegations The Department will analyze any comments received and, if appropriate, correct any significant ministerial error by amending the preliminary determination according to 19 CFR 351.224(e). A ministerial error is defined in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as ``an error in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers ministerial.'' Further, a significant ministerial error is defined in 19 CFR [[Page 15988]] 351.224(g) as a ministerial error, the correction of which, singly or in combination with other errors, would result in: (1) A change of at least five absolute percentage points in, but not less than 25 percent of, the weighted-average dumping margin calculated in the original (erroneous) preliminary determination; or (2) a difference between a weighted-average dumping margin of zero (or de minimis) and a weighted- average dumping margin of greater than de minimis, or vice versa. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (g)(1), the Department is amending the Preliminary Determination to reflect the corrections of a significant ministerial error in Sailun Group's margin calculation. However, the Department is not amending GITI's margin calculation because GITI's ministerial errors are not significant in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(g)(1). As a result of amending Sailun Group's margin, the Department also revised the margin for separate rate companies.\11\ Further, the Department has corrected names for GITI, Doublestar and Tyrechamp, and CIC. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \11\ See Memorandum to The File, ``Certain Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires from the People's Republic of China: Amended Separate Rate Calculation Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this notice, for the calculation performed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ministerial Error Allegations For a complete analysis of the ministerial error allegations, see the Ministerial Error Memorandum.\12\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \12\ See Memorandum to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Ministerial Error Memorandum for the Affirmative Preliminary Determination of the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires From the People's Republic of China,'' dated concurrently with this notice, for the analysis performed (Ministerial Error Memorandum). This memorandum 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 http://access.trade.gov, and is available to all parties in the Department's Central Records Unit in Room 7046 of the Department of Commerce building. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Correction In the Federal Register notice for the Preliminary Determination, we incorrectly identified the following exporter-producer combinations: (1) Exporter and producer Giti Radial Tire (Anhui) Company Ltd. was mis-identified as ``Giti Tire (Anhui) Company Ltd.''; (2) two of exporter Crown International Corporation's producers, Shandong Yongsheng Rubber Group Co., Ltd. and Qingdao Doublestar Tire Industrial Co., Ltd, were incorrectly listed as ``Shandong Yonshong Rubber Group Co. Ltd.'' and ``Qingdao Doublestar Tire Industrial Co., Ltd''; and 3) exporter Tyrechamp Group Co., Limited and one of its producers, Qingdao Doublestar Tire Industrial Co., Ltd., were listed as ``Tyrechamp Group Co., Ltd.'' and ``Qingdao Doublestar Tyre Industrial Co., Ltd.'' We are correcting these exporter-producer combinations, as listed below, and will revise the cash deposit instructions that were issued to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the preliminary determination accordingly. Amended Preliminary Determination We corrected the preliminary dumping margin for the Sailun Group. Consequently, we amended the preliminary separate rate for the exporter-producer combinations listed below. Further, we corrected companies' names as requested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted- average Exporter(s) Producer(s) dumping margin (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Giti Tire Global Trading Pte.
