SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 17, 2018, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) initiated lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of 

imports of glycine from India, Japan, 

and Thailand.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determinations are due no 

later than September 4, 2018. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in an LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 190 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation if: 

(A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On June 28, 2018, the petitioners 2

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determinations in these LTFV 

investigations.3 The petitioners stated 

that they request postponement to 

provide adequate time for Commerce to 

issue supplemental questionnaires, 

receive responses, and consider rebuttal 

comments.4

For the reasons stated above and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, Commerce, in 

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act, is postponing the deadline for 

the preliminary determinations by 50 

days (i.e., 190 days after the date on 

which these investigations were 

initiated). As a result, Commerce will 

issue its preliminary determinations no 

later than October 24, 2018. In 

accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 

deadline for the final determinations of 

these investigations will continue to be 

75 days after the date of the preliminary 

determinations, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review; 2016–2017 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is rescinding the 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

certain pneumatic off-the-road tires 

(OTR tires) from India for the period 

June 20, 2016, through December 31, 

2017. 

DATES: Applicable August 21, 2018.

Gene H. Calvert, AD/CVD Operations, 

Office VII, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 

(202) 482–3586. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 5, 2018, Commerce 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

CVD order on OTR tires from India for 

the period of review (POR) June 20, 

2016, through December 31, 2017.1

Commerce received timely-filed 

requests to conduct an administrative 

review of the CVD order from ATC Tires 

Private Limited (ATC) and Balkrishna 

Industries Limited (Balkrishna).2 Based 

on these requests, and in accordance 

with section 751(A) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), on May 2, 

2018, Commerce initiated an 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on OTR tires from India.3 On May 24, 

2018, and June 12, 2018, Balkrishna and 

ATC, respectively, each timely 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review.4 No other party 

requested an administrative review. 

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party, or parties, that 

requested the review withdraw(s) its 

request(s) for review within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. In 

this case, both Balkrishna and ATC each 

timely withdrew its request for review 

within the 90-day deadline, and no 

other party requested an administrative 

review of the CVD order. Therefore, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce is rescinding this 

administrative review in its entirety. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries. Because Commerce is 

rescinding this administrative review in 

its entirety, entries of OTR tires from 

India during the period June 20, 2016, 

through December 31, 2017, shall be 

assessed countervailing duties at rates 

equal to the cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, in 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 21, 2018 / Notices 42261 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to 

issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

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 return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

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

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4).
