SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 1, 2010, the Department published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the countervailing 
duty order on OTR Tires from the PRC. See Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 75 FR 53635 (September 1, 2010). The above-
referenced seven companies timely requested an administrative review of 
the countervailing duty order on OTR Tires from the PRC for the period 
January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009. In addition, the Department 
received timely requests from two other parties: Tianjin United Tire 
and Rubber International Co., Ltd. and Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd., along 
with its affiliates, Guizhou Advanced Rubber Co., Ltd., and Guizhou 
Tyre Import and Export Corporation (collectively, Guizhou Tyre). No 
other party requested a review of these two parties. In accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 
19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department published a notice initiating 
an administrative review of the countervailing duty order. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 75 FR 66349, 66351 (October 28, 2010). On November 30, 2010, 
the Department rescinded the review with respect to Guizhou Tyre, 
pursuant to a timely withdrawal of its request for review. See Certain 
New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires From the People's Republic of China: 
Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 
74003 (November 30, 2010). Rescission, in Part, of Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review.
    The Department's regulations provide that the Department will 
rescind an administrative review if the party that requested the review 
withdraws its request for review within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The 
above-referenced seven companies timely withdrew their requests within 
the 90-day deadline. Therefore, as no other party requested a review of 
these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 
Department is rescinding this administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order with respect to these companies.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. For 
the seven companies listed above, countervailing duties shall be 
assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit or bonding rate of the 
estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of 
this notice.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition 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/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.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 6, 1020.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
