SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope.—For purposes of these 

investigations, Commerce has defined 

the subject merchandise as ‘‘passenger 

vehicle and light truck tires. Passenger 

vehicle and light truck tires are new 

pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a 

passenger vehicle or light truck size 

designation. Tires covered by this 

investigation may be tube-type, tubeless, 

radial, or non-radial, and they may be 

intended for sale to original equipment 

manufacturers or the replacement 

market. 

Subject tires have, at the time of 

importation, the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ on the 

sidewall, certifying that the tire 

conforms to applicable motor vehicle 

safety standards. Subject tires may also 

have the following prefixes or suffix in 

their tire size designation, which also 

appears on the sidewall of the tire: 

Prefix designations: 

P—Identifies a tire intended primarily for 

service on passenger cars. 

LT—Identifies a tire intended primarily for 

service on light trucks. 

Suffix letter designations: 

LT—Identifies light truck tires for service 

on trucks, buses, trailers, and multipurpose 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
7562 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 18 / Friday, January 29, 2021 / Notices 

passenger vehicles used in nominal highway 

service. 

All tires with a ‘‘P’’ or ‘‘LT’’ prefix, 

and all tires with an ‘‘LT’’ suffix in their 

sidewall markings are covered by these 

investigations regardless of their 

intended use. 

In addition, all tires that lack a ‘‘P’’ or 

‘‘LT’’ prefix or suffix in their sidewall 

markings, as well as all tires that 

include any other prefix or suffix in 

their sidewall markings, are included in 

the scope, regardless of their intended 

use, as long as the tire is of a size that 

fits passenger cars or light trucks. Sizes 

that fit passenger cars and light trucks 

include, but are not limited to, the 

numerical size designations listed in the 

passenger car section or light truck 

section of the Tire and Rim Association 

Year Book, as updated annually. The 

scope includes all tires that are of a size 

that fits passenger cars or light trucks, 

unless the tire falls within one of the 

specific exclusions set out below. 

Passenger vehicle and light truck 

tires, whether or not attached to wheels 

or rims, are included in the scope. 

However, if a subject tire is imported 

attached to a wheel or rim, only the tire 

is covered by the scope. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

are the following types of tires: 

(1) Racing car tires; such tires do not 

bear the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ on the sidewall

for Temporary Use on Passenger 

Vehicles) of the Tire and Rim 

Association Year Book, 

(b) the designation ‘‘T’’ is molded into 

the tire’s sidewall as part of the size 

designation, and, 

(c) the tire’s speed rating is molded on 

the sidewall, indicating the rated speed 

in MPH or a letter rating as listed by 

Tire and Rim Association Year Book, 

and the rated speed is 81 MPH or a ‘‘M’’ 

rating; 

(5) tires designed and marketed 

exclusively as temporary use spare tires 

for light trucks which, in addition, 

exhibit each of the following physical

Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of 

affirmative preliminary determinations 

by Commerce that certain benefits 

which constitute subsidies within the 

meaning of § 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in Vietnam of passenger vehicle and 

light truck tires, and that such products 

from Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and 

Vietnam are being sold in the United 

States at less than fair value within the 

meaning of § 733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1673b). The investigations were 

requested in petitions filed on May 13, 

2020, by the United Steel, Paper and 

Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, 

Energy, Allied Industrial and Service 

Workers International Union, AFL–CIO, 

CLC (‘‘USW’’), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Fluid End Blocks From China,

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant 

to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of fluid end blocks from China, 

Germany, India, and Italy that have been 

found by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be 

subsidized by the respective 

governments of those countries and 

imports of fluid end blocks from 

Germany and Italy that have been found 

by Commerce to be sold in the United 

States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’). 

Imports of fluid end blocks are provided 

for in subheadings 7218.91.00,
