Decision Memorandum. 

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 

that gives rise to a benefit to the 

recipient, and the subsidy is specific.6

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

For the period January 1, 2019,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 8, 2020, in response to 

review requests from multiple parties, 

Commerce initiated an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on common alloy aluminum sheet 

(CAAS) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China).1 The POR is June 22, 

2018, through January 31, 2020. On 

April 24 and July 21, 2020, Commerce 

tolled all deadlines in administrative 

reviews by 50 days and 60 days 

respectively.2 On January 27 and June 2, 

2021, Commerce extended the time 

limit for completing the preliminary 

results of this review, until June 18, 

2021.3

On June 10, 2020, Commerce selected 

two exporters and/or producers for 

individual examination as mandatory 

respondents, Henan Mingtai Aluminum 

Industrial/Zhengzhou Mingtai Industry 

Co., Ltd. (collectively, Mingtai), and 

Jiangyin New Alumax Composite 

Material (Jiangyin New Alumax).4 By 

the deadline for section A questionnaire 

responses, July 21, 2020, neither 

mandatory respondent had submitted a 

section A questionnaire response. By 

the deadline for section C–E 

questionnaire responses, August 6, 

2020, neither mandatory respondent 

had submitted a section C–E 

questionnaire response. Additionally, 

on August 18, 2020, Mingtai filed a 

notice of its intent not to participate in 

this administrative review.5

Because neither Mingtai nor Jiangyin 

New Alumax responded to Commerce’s 

antidumping questionnaire, on 

September 28, 2020, Commerce selected 

Jiangsu Alcha Aluminum Co., Ltd. 

(Jiangsu Alcha) as an additional 

mandatory respondent.6 During the 

course of this review, Jiangsu Alcha 

filed responses to Commerce’s 

questionnaires and supplemental 

questionnaires, and the Aluminum 

Association Common Alloy Aluminum 

Sheet Trade Enforcement Working 

Group and its individual members 7 (the 

petitioner) commented on those 

responses. Additionally, multiple 

companies for which Commerce 

initiated the review filed either noshipment claims or applications for 

separate rate status. For details 

regarding the events that occurred 

subsequent to the initiation of the 

review, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.8 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

Appendix to this notice. 

The Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is made available to the public 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 found at https://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is common alloy aluminum sheet from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of the order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

We found no evidence calling into 

question the no shipment claims by 

Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. and 

Companhia Brasileira de Aluminio; 

therefore, we preliminarily find that 

these companies had no shipments of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. For additional 

information regarding these preliminary 

determinations, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Partial Recission of Administrative 

Review 

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

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if all parties that requested a 

review withdraw their requests within 

90 days of the publication date of the 

notice of initiation of the requested 

review. All parties timely withdrew 

their requests for administrative review 

of the following companies: (1) 

Multipanel UK Ltd., (2) Alumax 

Composite Material (Jiangyin) Co., Ltd., 

(3) Chalco Ruimin Co., (4) Granges 

Aluminum (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., (5)

12As noted above, the China-Wide Entity is not 

subject to this review. However, in this review we 

have preliminarily determined that the following 

companies under review are now part of the ChinaWide Entity: (1) Choil Aluminum Co., Ltd.; (2) 

Henan Mingtai Al Industrial Co., Ltd.; (3) Jiangyin 

New Alumax Composite Material Co., Ltd.; (4) PMS

Aluminum Co., Ltd., (18) Xiamen 

Xiashun Aluminum Foil Co., Ltd., (19) 

Yantai Jintai International Trade Co., 

Ltd., and (20) Zhengzhou Silverstone 

Limited. Accordingly, Commerce is 

rescinding this review with respect to 

these companies, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(1). For additional 

information regarding the rescission of 

Commerce’s administrative reviews, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Affiliation and Single 

Entity Determination 

We have determined that Jiangsu 

Alcha, Alcha International, and Baotou 

Alcha Aluminum Co., Ltd. (Baotou 

Alcha) are affiliated entities pursuant to 

section 771(33)(F) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). We have 

also determined that Jiangsu Alcha and 

Baotou Alcha Aluminum Co., Ltd. 

(Baotou Alcha) should be treated as a 

single entity pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.401(f)(1)–(2). For additional 

information, see the Affiliation 

Memorandum.9

Separate Rates 

We have preliminarily determined 

that the information placed on the 

record by Jiangsu Alcha, Alcha 

International (collectively, Alcha 

Group), and Yinbang Clad Material Co., 

Ltd. (Yinbang Clad) demonstrates that 

these companies are eligible for a 

separate rate. We have also 

preliminarily determined that Choil 

Aluminum Co., Ltd.; Jiangyin New 

Alumax; Mingtai; PMS Metal Profil 

Aluminyum San. Ve Tic. A.S. Demirtas 

Organize Sanayi Bolgesi; and United 

Metal Coating LLC have not 

demonstrated their eligibility for a 

separate rate because they did not file 

separate rate applications or 

certifications with Commerce. 

Therefore, we are treating these 

companies as part of the China-wide 

entity. Because no party requested a 

review of the China-wide entity, the 

entity is not under review and the 

entity’s rate (i.e., 59.72 percent) is not 

subject to change.10

For additional information regarding 

Commerce’s preliminary separate rates 

determinations, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Dumping Margins for Separate Rate 

Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address what rate to 

apply to respondents not selected for 

individual examination when 

Commerce limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for non-selected 

respondents that are not examined 

individually in an administrative 

review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

states that the all-others rate should be 

calculated by averaging the weightedaverage dumping margins for 

individually examined respondents, 

excluding rates that are zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available. Where the rates for the 

individually examined companies are 

all zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of 

the Act provides that Commerce may 

use ‘‘any reasonable method’’ to 

establish the all-others rate. In this 

review, we calculated a rate for Alcha 

Group that is not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts available. 

Therefore, we have assigned this rate to 

the companies not selected for 

individual examination but that are 

eligible for a separate rate. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. 

Commerce calculated export and 

constructed export prices in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Because 

Commerce has determined that China is 

a nonmarket economy country,11 within 

the meaning of section 771(18) of the 

Act, Commerce calculated normal value 

in accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying the 

preliminary results of this review, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review

following dumping margins to the firms

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this review.21 Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after 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). 

For each individually examined 

respondent in this review whose 

weighted-average dumping margin in 

the final results of review is not zero or 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), 

Commerce intends to calculate 

importer/customer-specific assessment 

rates, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).22 Where the respondent 

reported reliable entered values, 

Commerce intends to calculate 

importer/customer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates by aggregating the 

amount of dumping calculated for all 

U.S. sales to the importer/customer and 

dividing this amount by the total 

entered value of the merchandise sold to 

the importer/customer.23 Where the 

respondent did not report entered 

values, Commerce will calculate 

importer/customer-specific assessment 

rates by dividing the amount of 

dumping for reviewed sales to the 

importer/customer by the total quantity 

of those sales. Commerce will calculate 

an estimated ad valorem importer/ 

customer-specific assessment rate to 

determine whether the per-unit 

assessment rate is de minimis; however, 

Commerce will use the per-unit 

assessment rate where entered values 

were not reported.24 Where an importer/ 

customer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is not zero or de 

minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

collect the appropriate duties at the time 

of liquidation. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer/customer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.25

For the respondents that were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review, but which 

qualified for a separate rate, the 

assessment rate will be based on the 

weighted-average dumping margin(s) 

assigned to the respondent(s), as 

appropriate, in the final results of this 

review.26

Pursuant to Commerce’s refinement to 

its practice, for sales that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales database 

submitted by an exporter individually 

examined during this review, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to liquidate the entry 

of such merchandise at the dumping 

margin for the China-wide entity.27

Additionally, where Commerce 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, any suspended entries of 

subject merchandise that entered under 

that exporter’s CBP case number during 

the POR will be liquidated at the 

dumping margin for the China-wide 

entity. 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties, where applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Commerce will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit for antidumping 

duties equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which the normal value 

exceeds U.S. price. The following cash 

deposit requirements will be effective 

for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice in the Federal 

Register, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the 

exporters listed in the table above, the 

cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review for the exporter (except, if the 

dumping margin is de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.5 percent), then the cash deposit 

rate will be zero for that exporter); (2) 

for previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that 

are not listed in the table above but that 

have separate rates, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter-specific 

rate established in the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate for 

the China-wide entity (i.e., 59.72 

percent) 28 and (4) for all non-Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the China exporter that 

supplied that non-Chinese exporter. 

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of

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

preliminary results of review. 

DATES: Applicable June 25, 2021.

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

Decision Memorandum can be accessed

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

I to this notice.
