CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department

Background

    Commerce published the preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on certain new pneumatic off-
the-road tires (OTR Tires) from China on October 6, 2017.\1\ In this 
review we individually examined two companies as mandatory respondents: 
Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd. (Guizhou Tyre) and Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co., Ltd. 
(Xuzhou Xugong). The period of review (POR) is January 1, 2015, through 
December 31, 2015. In the Preliminary Results we preliminarily applied 
total adverse facts available with regard to Xuzhou Xugong after it 
withdrew from participating in this review.\2\ No interested party 
commented on Commerce's preliminary determination with respect to 
Xuzhou Xugong. Accordingly, our determination remains unchanged for 
these final results. However, based on an analysis of the comments 
received, Commerce has made certain changes to the subsidy rates that 
were preliminary determined for Guizhou Tyre. The final subsidy rates 
are listed in the ``Final Results of Administrative Review'' section 
below.

Memorandum (PDM).

    Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by 
the closure of the Federal Government from January 20 through 22, 2018. 
Accordingly, the revised deadline for the final results of this review 
was tolled to April 9, 2018.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the scope are new pneumatic tires designed 
for off-the-road (OTR) and off-highway use. The subject merchandise is 
currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (``HTSUS'') subheadings: 4011.20.10.25, 4011.20.10.35, 
4011.20.50.30, 4011.20.50.50, 4011.70.0010, 4011.62.00.00, 
4011.80.1020, 4011.90.10, 4011.70.0050, 4011.80.1010, 4011.80.1020, 
4011.80.2010, 4011.80.2020, 4011.80.8010, and 4011.80.8020. While HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description of the scope, which is contained in the 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum, is dispositive.\3\

Memorandum from James Maeder, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations performing the 
duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance performing the duties of 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Issues and 
Decision Memorandum for the Final Results in the Countervailing Duty 
Review of Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires from the People's 
Republic of China; 2015,'' dated concurrently with this notice and 
herein incorporated by reference (Issues and Decision Memorandum).

Analysis of Comments Received

    The issues raised by Guizhou Tyre, the Government of the People's 
Republic of China (GOC), and Titan Tire Corporation (Titan) and the 
United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 
Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO-CLC (the 
USW) (collectively, the Petitioners) in their case and rebuttal briefs 
are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\4\ The issues are 
identified in the Appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and 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 in the Central Records 
Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In

    \4\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 9-14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on the comments received from all interested parties, we have 
made revisions to some of our benefit calculations for Guizhou Tyre. 
For a discussion of these issues, see the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum.

Methodology

    Commerce 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 we found to be countervailable, we determined 
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.\5\ For a description of the methodology 
underlying all of Commerce's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 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 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we determined a 
countervailable subsidy rate for the period January 1, 2015, through 
December 31, 2015, for Guizhou Tyre, and a rate based on total AFA for 
Xuzhou Xugong. For the companies for which a review was requested but 
not selected for individual examination as mandatory respondents and 
which we are not finding to be cross-owned with the mandatory company 
respondents, we followed Commerce's practice, pursuant to 
705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act, which is to base the subsidy rates on an 
average of the subsidy rates calculated, excluding de minimis rates or 
rates based entirely on adverse facts available.\6\ Therefore, we are 
basing the subsidy rate for the non-selected companies on the subsidy 
rate calculated for Guizhou Tyre. For a list of these non-selected 
companies, please see Appendix II to this notice.

the 13th (2008) Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR

Final Results of the 13th (2008) Countervailing Duty Administrative

exporters under review to be as follows:

Assessment and Cash Deposit Requirements

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce intends to issue 
appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 
days after publication of the final results of this review. Commerce 
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, 2015, through 
December 31, 2015, at the percent rates, as listed above for each of 
the respective companies, of the entered value.
    Commerce 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. 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 responsibilities 
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 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
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 9, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
