bus tires from China, provided for in statistical reporting numbers 
4011.20.1015 and 4011.20.5020 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States, that have been found by the Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(``LTFV''), and to be subsidized by the government of China.\2\
