SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the sunset review of the AD order on off-road tires from India,^[1] pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).^[2] In accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i) and (ii), Commerce received notices of intent to participate in these sunset reviews from a domestic producer ^[3] within 15 days after the date of publication of the Initiation Notice.^[4] The domestic producer claimed domestic interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer of a domestic like product in the United States.

On March 3, 2022, the domestic producer submitted a timely substantive response within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).^[5] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any other interested parties with respect to the Order covered by this sunset review, nor was a hearing requested. On December 20, 2021, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.^[6] As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the Order.
