Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    The Department published the preliminary results of this 
administrative review of OTR Tires from

[[Page 18286]]

PRC on October 14, 2016.\3\ Based on the comments received from all 
interested parties, we made revisions to some of our benchmark and 
benefit calculations for both Guizhou Tyre and Xuzhou Xugong. For a 
discussion of these issues, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires From the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Review; 2014, 81 FR 71056 (October 14, 2016) 
(Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each 
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we find that there is a 
subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that gives 
rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 
specific.\4\ For a description of the methodology underlying all of the 
Department's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding 
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding 
benefit; and, section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Administrative Review

    In accordance with section 777A(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(5), we determine the total net countervailable subsidy rates 
for the period January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014 for each of 
the mandatory respondents, Guizhou Tyre and Xuzhou Xugong. For the non-
selected respondents, we followed the Department's practice, which is 
to base the subsidy rates on an average of the subsidy rates calculated 
for those companies selected for individual review, excluding de 
minimis rates or rates based on entirely on adverse facts available.\5\ 
In this case, we assigned to the non-selected respondents the simple 
average of the rates calculated for Guizhou Tyre and Xuzhou Xugong. We 
are using a simple, rather than a weighted, average due to inconsistent 
units of measure in the publicly ranged quantity and value data 
provided by Guizhou Tyre and Xuzhou Xugong. For a list of the non-
selected companies, please see Appendix II.

    We find the countervaible subsidy rates for the producers/exporters 
under review to be as follows:

                                                             valorem)

Assessment and Cash Deposit Requirements

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), the Department intends to 
issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) 15 days after publication of the final results of this review. 
The Department will instruct CBP to liquidate shipments of subject 
merchandise produced and/or exported by the companies listed above, 
entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption from January 1, 
2014, through December 31, 2014, at the percent rates, as listed above 
for each of the respective companies, of the entered value.
    The Department intends also to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties, in the amounts shown above 
for each of the respective companies shown above, on shipments of 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of 
this review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to 
continue to collect cash deposits at the most-recent company-specific 
or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. 
Accordingly, the cash deposit requirements that will be applied to 
companies covered by this order, but not examined in this 
administrative review, are those established in the most recently 
completed segment of the proceeding for each company. These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    These final results are issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 12, 2017.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
