whether coated or uncoated. The scope 

also includes certain on-the-road steel 

wheels with discs in either a ‘‘hubpiloted’’ or ‘‘stud-piloted’’ mounting 

configuration, though the stud-piloted 

configuration is most common in the 

size range covered. 

All on-the-road wheels sold in the 

United States must meet Standard 110 

or 120 of the National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, 

which requires a rim marking, such as 

the ‘‘DOT’’ symbol, indicating 

compliance with applicable motor 

vehicle standards. See 49 CFR 571.110 

and 571.120. The scope includes certain 

on-the-road steel wheels imported with 

or without NHTSA’s required markings. 

Certain on-the-road steel wheels 

imported as an assembly with a tire 

mounted on the wheel and/or with a 

valve stem or rims imported as an 

assembly with a tire mounted on the rim 

and/or with a valve stem are included 

in the scope of these orders. However, 

if the steel wheels or rims are imported 

as an assembly with a tire mounted on 

the wheel or rim and/or with a valve 

stem attached, the tire and/or valve stem 

is not covered by the scope. 

The scope includes rims, discs, and 

wheels that have been further processed 

in a third country, including, but not 

limited to, the painting of wheels from 

China and the welding and painting of 

rims and discs from China to form a 

steel wheel, or any other processing that 

would not otherwise remove the 

merchandise from the scope of the 

Orders if performed in China. 

Excluded from this scope are the 

following: 

(1) Steel wheels for use with tube-type 

tires; such tires use multi piece rims, 

which are two-piece and three-piece 

assemblies and require the use of an 

inner tube; 

(2) aluminum wheels; 

(3) certain on-the-road steel wheels 

that are coated entirely in chrome. This 

exclusion is limited to chrome wheels 

coated entirely in chrome and produced 

through a chromium electroplating 

process, and does not extend to wheels 

that have been finished with other 

processes, including, but not limited to, 

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD); 

(4) steel wheels that do not meet 

Standard 110 or 120 of the NHTSA’s 

requirements other than the rim 

marking requirements found in 49 CFR 

571.110S4.4.2 and 571.120S5.2; 

(5) steel wheels that meet the 

following specifications: Steel wheels 

with a nominal wheel diameter ranging 

from 15 inches to 16.5 inches, with a 

rim width of 8 inches or greater, and a 

wheel backspacing ranging from 3.75 

inches to 5.5 inches; and 

(6) steel wheels with wire spokes. 

Certain on-the-road steel wheels 

subject to these Orders are properly 

classifiable under the following category 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS): 

8716.90.5035 which covers the exact 

product covered by the scope whether 

entered as an assembled wheel or in 

components. Certain on-the-road steel 

wheels entered with a tire mounted on 

them may be entered under HTSUS 

8716.90.5059 (Trailers and semi-trailers; 

other vehicles, not mechanically 

propelled, parts, wheels, other, wheels 

with other tires) (a category that will be 

broader than what is covered by the 

scope). While the HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, the written 

description of the subject merchandise 

is dispositive. 

Filing Requirements 

All submissions to Commerce must be 

filed electronically using ACCESS.5 An 

electronically filed document must be 

received successfully in its entirety by 

the time and date it is due. Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for serving

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 10, 2015, Commerce 

published the amended final affirmative 

determinations in the AD and CVD 

investigations of passenger tires from 

China as well as the AD and CVD orders 

for passenger tires in the Federal 

Register.1 On July 1, 2020, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the five-year (sunset) reviews of the AD 

and CVD orders on passenger tires from 

China, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

As a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders on passenger tires from China 

would be likely to lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and 

countervailable subsidies and, therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins and net subsidy rates likely to 

prevail should the Orders be revoked.4

On February 11, 2021, the ITC 

published its determinations, pursuant 

to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of the Orders is 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 these 

Orders 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 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 this 

investigation 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 

is among the numerical size 

designations listed in the passenger car 

section or light truck section of the Tire 

and Rim Association Yearbook, as 

updated annually, 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 

of the Orders are the following types of 

tires: Racing car tires; such tires do not 

bear the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ on the sidewall 

and may be marked with ‘‘ZR’’ in size 

designation; 

(1) New pneumatic tires, of rubber, of 

a size that is not listed in the passenger 

car section or light truck section of the 

Tire and Rim Association Yearbook; 

(2) pneumatic tires, of rubber, that are 

not new, including recycled and 

retreaded tires; 

(3) non-pneumatic tires, such as solid 

rubber tires; 

(5) tires designed and marketed 

exclusively as temporary use spare tires 

for passenger vehicles which, in 

addition, exhibit each of the following 

physical characteristics:

index combination molded on the tire’s 

sidewall are listed in Table PCT–1B 

(‘‘T’’ Type Spare Tires for Temporary 

Use on Passenger Vehicles) of the Tire 

and Rim Association Yearbook, 

(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 Yearbook, and 

the rated speed is 81 MPH or a ‘‘M’’ 

rating; 

(6) tires designed and marketed 

exclusively for specialty tire (ST) use 

which, in addition, exhibit each of the 

following conditions: 

(a) The size designation molded on 

the tire’s sidewall is listed in the ST 

sections of the Tire and Rim Association 

Yearbook, 

(b) the designation ‘‘ST’’ is molded 

into the tire’s sidewall as part of the size 

designation, 

(c) the tire incorporates a warning, 

prominently molded on the sidewall, 

that the tire is ‘‘For Trailer Service

molded on the sidewall and either 

(1) Both exceed the maximum 

pressure and maximum load limit for 

any tire of the same size designation in 

either the passenger car or light truck 

section of the Tire and Rim Association 

Yearbook; or 

(2) if the maximum cold inflation 

pressure molded on the tire is less than 

any cold inflation pressure listed for 

that size designation in either the 

passenger car or light truck section of 

the Tire and Rim Association Yearbook, 

the maximum load limit molded on the 

tire is higher than the maximum load 

limit listed at that cold inflation 

pressure for that size designation in 

either the passenger car or light truck 

section of the Tire and Rim Association 

Yearbook; 

(7) tires designed and marketed 

exclusively for off-road use and which, 

in addition, exhibit each of the 

following physical characteristics:

8708.70.60.60. While HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and for customs purposes, 

the written description of the subject 

merchandise is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of these Orders would likely lead to a 

continuation or a recurrence of dumping 

and net countervailable subsidies and of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the

of these Orders will be the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of continuation. Pursuant to 

section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to 

initiate the next five-year review of 

these Orders not later than 30 days prior 

to the fifth anniversary of the effective 

date of continuation. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return/destruction or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 

Failure to comply is a violation of the 

APO which may be subject to sanctions. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) of the Act and published 

in accordance with section 777(i) of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection by the Office of 

National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS). 

ONMS manages national marine 

sanctuaries pursuant to the purposes 

and policies of the National Marine 

Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 U.S.C. 1431 

et seq.). 

National marine sanctuary regulations 

at 15 CFR part 922 list specific activities 

that are prohibited in national marine 

sanctuaries. These regulations also state 

that otherwise prohibited activities are 

permissible if a permit is issued by 

ONMS. Persons desiring a permit must 

submit an application, and anyone 

obtaining a permit is generally required 

to submit one or more reports on the 

activity allowed under the permit. The 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements at 15 CFR part 922 form 

the basis for this collection of 

information. 

This information is required by 

ONMS to protect and manage sanctuary 

resources. The permit application 

collects information about the proposed 

activities, the methods proposed to be 

used, the potential effects to sanctuary 

resources, and information on the 

regulatory review criteria at 15 CFR part 

922. ONMS uses this information to 

evaluate whether the proposed activities 

are consistent with the goals and 

objectives of the sanctuary and the 

intent of the NMSA. 

Changes to this information collection 

include revisions to the permit 

application and instructions to improve 

clarity. The estimated number of 

permits issued per year also changed 

from 555 to 419. This is based on an 

estimated five additional permits from 

the designation of the Mallows Bay— 

Potomac River National Marine 

Sanctuary (84 FR 5073; Sept. 29, 2019) 

and a reduction of 141 permits per year 

because the Florida Keys National 

Marine Sanctuary is no longer issuing 

lionfish removal permits.
