SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) determines that certain 

producers/exporters of certain passenger 

vehicle and light truck tires from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

received countervailable subsidies 

during the period of review (POR), 

January 1, 2019, through December 31, 

2019. Additionally, we are rescinding 

the review for eight companies with no 

shipments of subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR. 

DATES: Applicable March 10, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 7, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this review and invited comments from 

interested parties.1 On December 6, 

2021, Commerce extended the deadline 

for the final results of this 

administrative review until March 4, 

2022.2 For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

passenger vehicle and light truck tires 

from China. For a complete description 

of the scope of this order, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by the interested 

parties in their case and rebuttal briefs 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of these issues is 

provided in the Appendix to this notice. 

The Issues and Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and CVD 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on the comments received from 

interested parties, we revised the 

calculation of the net countervailable 

subsidy rates for Sumitomo Rubber 

(Hunan) Co., Ltd. (SRH), Triangle Tyre 

Co., Ltd., and the non-selected 

respondents. For a discussion of these 

issues, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). For each of the subsidy programs 

found to be countervailable, we 

determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a 

government-provided financial 

contribution that gives rise to a benefit 

to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific.4 The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum contains a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying Commerce’s conclusions, 

including any determination that relied 

upon the use of facts otherwise 

available, including, adverse facts 

available, pursuant to sections 776(a) 

and (b) of the Act. 

Rescission of Administrative Review, in 

Part 

It is Commerce’s practice to rescind 

an administrative review of a 

countervailing duty order, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.5 Normally, 

upon completion of an administrative 

review, the suspended entries are 

liquidated at the countervailing duty 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.6 Therefore, for an 

administrative review of a company to 

be conducted, there must be a 

reviewable, suspended entry that 

Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate 

at the calculated countervailing duty 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.7

8These companies are: Hankook Tire China Co., 

Ltd.; Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company 

Ltd.; Qingdao Fullrun Tyre Tech Corp., Ltd.; 

Qingdao Honghuasheng Trade Co., Ltd; Qingdao 

Kapsen Trade Co.; Shandong Habilead Rubber Co., 

Ltd.; Shandong Hongsheng Rubber Technology Co., 

Ltd.; and Shandong Qilun Rubber Co., Ltd. 

9Commerce finds the following companies to be 

cross owned with Sumitomo Rubber (Hunan) Co., 

Ltd.: Sumitomo Rubber (China) Co., Ltd. and 

Sumitomo Rubber (Changshu) Co. Ltd. 

10This rate is based on the rates for the 

respondents that were selected for individual 

review, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, 

or based entirely on facts available. See section 

705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

According to the CBP import data, 

eight companies subject to this review 

did not have reviewable entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR for 

which liquidation is suspended.8

Further, in response to the Preliminary 

Results, no party submitted information 

to contradict the information on the 

record. Therefore, because there is no 

evidence on the record of this segment 

of the proceeding to indicate that these 

companies had entries, exports, or sales 

of subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR, we are 

rescinding the administrative review 

with respect to these companies, 

consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

Under Review 

There are three companies for which 

a review was requested and not 

rescinded, and which were not selected 

as mandatory respondents. For these 

companies, we are applying the rate 

calculated for the sole mandatory 

respondent, Sumitomo Rubber (Hunan) 

Co., Ltd. (Sumitomo Rubber), which is 

above de minimis and not based entirely 

on facts available. This methodology to 

establish the non-selected subsidy rate 

is consistent with our practice and uses 

section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which 

governs the calculation of the all-others 

rate in investigations, as guidance. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine the following net 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

POR January 1, 2019, through December 

31, 2019: 

Producer/exporter 

Subsidy rate 

(percent 

ad valorem) 

Sumitomo Rubber (Hunan) Co., Ltd. 

and its cross-owned affiliates.9 ........ 24.79 

Triangle Tyre Co., Ltd.10 ..................... 124.53 

Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the 

Following Companies 

Jiangsu Hankook Tire Co., Ltd ........... 24.79 

Qingdao Landwinner Tyre Co., Ltd ..... 24.79 

Shandong Province Sanli Tire Manufacture Co., Ltd ................................ 24.79 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to interested 

parties the calculations and analysis 

performed for these final results of this 

review within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of this publication of 

the final results of this review in the 

Federal Register. If a timely summons is 

filed at the U.S. Court of International 

Trade, the assessment instructions will 

direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 

entries until the time for parties to file 

a request for a statutory injunction has 

expired (i.e., within 90 days of 

publication). 

With respect to the companies for 

which this administrative review is 

rescinded, countervailing duties shall be 

assessed at rates equal to the cash 

deposit rate required at the time of 

entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption, during the period 

January 1, 2019, through December 31, 

2019, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce also intends to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown above for the abovelisted companies with regard to 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of these final results of 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP 

will continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

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

written notification of return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These final results are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: March 3, 2022.
