Truck and Bus Tires From the People’s 

Republic of China: Preliminary Results 

of Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review, and Rescission of Review, in 

Part; 2019 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

truck and bus tires from the People’s 

Republic of China (China). The period 

of review (POR) is February 15, 2019, 

through December 31, 2019. In addition, 

we are rescinding the review with 

respect to several companies. Interested 

parties are invited to comment on these 

preliminary results of review. 

DATES: Applicable June 25, 2021.

and Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 15, 2019, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

truck and bus tires from the China.1 On 

April 8, 2020, Commerce published in 

the Federal Register an initiation notice 

for an administrative review of the 

Order on 46 producers/exporters for the 

POR.2 For events that occurred since the 

Initiation Notice, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 On June 17, 

2021, the President signed into law the 

Juneteenth National Independence Day 

Act, making June 19 a Federal holiday.4

Because the Federal holiday fell on a 

Saturday, it was observed on Friday, 

June 18, 2021. Where a deadline falls on 

a weekend or Federal holiday, the 

appropriate deadline is the next 

business day.5 Accordingly, the 

deadline for these preliminary results is 

on June 21, 2021. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are truck and bus tires from China. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rescission of Administrative Review, in 

Part 

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

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation. On April 14, 2020, 

Sailun 6 withdrew its request for review 

of Sailun Group Co., Ltd.; Sailun 

(Shenyang) Tire Co., Ltd.; Sailun Group 

(Hong Kong) Co., Limited (previously 

known as Sailun Jinyu Group (Hong 

Kong) Co., Limited) and requested 

Commerce rescind the administrative 

review with respect to these companies. 

In the Respondent Selection 

Memorandum,7 we stated our intent to 

rescind the review of these Sailun 

companies because the withdrawal of 

review was timely filed and no other 

party requested a review of these 

companies. Therefore, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is 

rescinding this review of the Order with 

respect to Sailun companies noted 

above. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting 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 countervailable, we 

preliminarily determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by 

an ‘‘authority’’ that confers a benefit to 

the recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific.8 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

preliminary conclusions, including our 

reliance, in part, on adverse facts 

available pursuant to sections 776(a) 

and (b) of the Act, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

The Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/index.html. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

I to this notice.

9With two respondents under examination, 

Commerce normally calculates (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for 

the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of 

the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average 

of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents using each company’s 

publicly-ranged U.S. sale quantities for the 

merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate 

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball 

Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, 

Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected 

Companies Under Review 

There are 41 companies for which a 

review was requested and not 

rescinded, and which were not selected 

as mandatory respondents or found to 

be cross-owned with a mandatory 

respondent. For these companies, 

because the rates calculated for the 

mandatory respondents, Qingdao Ge Rui 

Da Rubber Co., Ltd. (GRT) and Prinx 

Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Co., Ltd. 

(PCT), were above de minimis and not 

based entirely on facts available, we are 

applying to the non-selected companies 

the average of the net subsidy rates 

calculated for GRT and PCT, which we 

calculated using the publicly ranged 

sales data submitted by GRT and PCT.9

This methodology to establish the allothers subsidy rate is consistent with 

our practice and section 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act. For further information on the 

calculation of the non-selected 

respondent rate, refer to the section in 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

entitled ‘‘Non-Selected Companies 

Under Review.’’ For a list of nonselected companies, see Appendix II. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated a 

countervailable subsidy rate for each of 

the mandatory respondents, GRT and 

PCT, which includes their cross-owned 

affiliates, where applicable. 

We preliminarily find the 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

mandatory and non-selected 

respondents under review to be as 

follows: 

Producer/exporter Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire 

Co., Ltd.10 .................................... 17.04 

Qingdao Ge Rui Da Rubber Co., 

Ltd.11 ............................................ 16.62 

Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the 

Following Companies 

Other Respondents 12 ..................... 16.76 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose to interested 

parties the calculations performed for 

these preliminary results within five 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). Interested parties may 

submit case briefs no later than 30 days 

after the date of publication of these 

preliminary results of review.13

Rebuttals to case briefs may be filed no 

later than seven days after the case 

briefs are filed, and all rebuttal 

comments must be limited to comments 

raised in the case briefs.14 Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for serving 

documents containing business 

proprietary information until further 

notice.15

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 

(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this review are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, parties 

will be notified of the date and time for 

the hearing to be determined. 

Unless extended, we intend to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of the issues raised in the 

case briefs, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h). 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 

assigned subsidy rates in the amounts 

shown above for the producer/exporters 

shown above. Upon completion of the 

administrative review, consistent 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. For the 

companies for which this review is 

rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP 

to assess countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries at a rate equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated countervailing 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period 

February 15, 2019, through December 

31, 2019, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(l)(i). For the companies 

remaining in the review, Commerce 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce 

intends, upon publication of the final 

results, to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts shown for each of 

the respondents listed above on 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review. For all nonreviewed firms, CBP will continue to 

collect cash deposits at the most recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published pursuant to sections 

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

CFR 351.221(b)(4).

the most appropriate rate for all other companies.
