SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 6, 2020, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review of the CVD Order on passenger 

tires from China.1 On April 14, 2021, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this review by 120 

days to August 31, 2021.2

Scope of the Order 3

The products covered by the Order 

are certain passenger vehicle and light 

truck tires from China. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.4

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. Commerce received 

timely-filed withdrawal requests with 

respect to the following companies: Giti 

Radial Tire (Anhui) Company Ltd.; Giti 

Tire Global Trading Pte. Ltd.; Giti Tire 

(Fujian) Company Ltd.; Giti Tire 

(Hualin) Company Ltd.; Haohua Orient 

International Trade Ltd.; Qingdao 

Lakesea Tyre Co., Ltd.; Riversun 

Industry Limited; Safe & Well (HK) 

International Trading Limited; Sailun 

Group (HongKong) Co., Limited., 

formerly known as Sailun Jinyu Group 

(Hong Kong) Co., Limited; Sailun Group 

Co., Ltd., formerly known as Sailun 

Jinyu Group Co., Ltd.; Sailun Tire 

Americas Inc., formerly known as SJI 

North America Inc.; Sailun Tire 

International Corp; Shandong Guofeng 

Rubber Plastics Co., Ltd.; Shandong 

Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd.; Shandong New 

Continent Tire Co., Ltd.; Shandong 

Wanda Boto Tyre Co., Ltd.; Shouguang 

Firemax Tyre Co., Ltd.; Windforce Tyre 

Co., Limited; and Zhaoqing Junhong 

Co., Ltd., pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). Because the withdrawal 

requests were timely filed, and no other 

parties requested a review of these 

companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding 

this review of the Order with respect to 

these 19 companies noted above. 

Intent To Rescind Administrative 

Review, in Part 

It is Commerce’s practice is to rescind 

an administrative review of a CVD 

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 CVD 

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 CVD assessment rate 

calculated for the review period.7

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

Accordingly, in the absence of 

reviewable, suspended entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR, we intend 

to rescind this administrative review 

with respect to these eight companies, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative 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.9 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our 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. 

Preliminary 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 

for individual examination as 

mandatory respondents or found to be 

cross-owned with a mandatory 

respondent. The statute and 

Commerce’s regulations do not directly 

address the establishment of rates to be 

applied to companies not selected for 

individual examination where 

Commerce limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(e)(2) of the Act. However, 

Commerce normally determines the 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 173 / Friday, September 10, 2021 / Notices 50703 

10Commerce 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. 

11This 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 

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

12See 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

13See 19 CFR 351.309(c). 

14See 19 CFR 351.309(d).

Requirements Due to COVID–19; Extension of

rates for non-selected companies in 

reviews in a manner that is consistent 

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

provides the basis for calculating the allothers rate in an investigation. 

Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act 

instructs Commerce, as a general rule, to 

calculate an all-others rate equal to the 

weighted average of the countervailable 

subsidy rates established for exporters 

and/or producers individually 

examined, excluding any rates that are 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 

facts available. In this review, only one 

mandatory respondent, Sumitomo 

Rubber (Hunan) Co., Ltd. (Sumitomo 

Rubber), had a rate which was not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available. Thus, for the companies for 

which a review was requested that were 

not selected as mandatory company 

respondents and for which Commerce is 

not rescinding the review, Commerce is 

basing the subsidy rate on the rate 

calculated for Sumitomo Rubber. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

We preliminarily determine the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates for the period January 1, 2019, 

through December 31, 2019: 

Producer/exporter Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

Sumitomo Rubber (Hunan) Co., Ltd. and its cross-owned affiliates 10 ............................................................................................... 25.49

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose to parties in this 

review, the calculations performed for 

these preliminary results within five 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice.12 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)(1) 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 January 

1, 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 also 

intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts calculated in the 

final results of this review for the 

respective companies listed above with 

regard to shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this review. For all nonreviewed firms, CBP will continue to 

collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the all-others 

rate or the most recent company-specific 

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).

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to the Berth III 

New Mooring Dolphins Project in 

Ketchikan, Alaska 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance of incidental 

harassment authorization. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has received a request 

from the City of Ketchikan, Alaska 

(COK) for the reissuance of a previously 

issued incidental harassment 

authorization (IHA) with the only 

change being effective dates. The initial 

IHA authorized take of nine species of 

marine mammals, by Level A and Level 

B harassment, incidental to construction 

associated with the Berth III New 

Mooring Dolphins Project in Ketchikan, 

AK. The project has been delayed by 

one year and none of the work covered 

in the initial IHA has been conducted. 

The initial IHA was effective from 

October 1, 2021, through September 30, 

2022. The COK has requested reissuance 

with new effective dates of October 1, 

2022, through September 30, 2023. The 

scope of the activities and anticipated 

effects remain the same, authorized take 

numbers are not changed, and the 

required mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting remains the same as included 

in the initial IHA. NMFS is, therefore, 

issuing a second identical IHA to cover 

the incidental take analyzed and 

authorized in the initial IHA. 

DATES: This authorization is effective 

from October 1, 2022, through 

September 30, 2023.

final 2021 IHA previously issued to the
