 SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited sunset review, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain pneumatic off-the-road tires (off-road tires) from India would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the levels indicated in the “Final Results of Sunset Review” section of this notice.
 DATES: Applicable May 25, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 6, 2017, Commerce published the CVD order on off-road tires from India.[1]
                    
                     On February 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the 
                    *Order,*
                     pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2]
                    
                     Commerce received a timely notice of intent to participate from Titan Tire Corporation (Titan Tire), a domestic interested party, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[3]
                    
                     Titan Tire claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer of the domestic like product in the United States. Commerce received a substantive response from the domestic interested party [4]
                    
                     within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). Commerce also received a substantive response from the Government of India (GOI).[5]
                    
                     We received no substantive response from any other domestic or interested parties in this proceeding, nor was a hearing requested. On March 22, 2022, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.[6]
                    
                     As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of this 
                    *Order.* Scope of the Order The products covered by the scope of the 
                    *Order*
                     are off-road tires. Certain off-road tires are tires with an off-road tire size designation. The tires included in the scope may be either tube-type or tubeless, radial, or non-radial, regardless of whether for original equipment manufacturers or the replacement market. Certain off-road tires, whether or not mounted on wheels or rims, are included in the scope. However, if a subject tire is imported mounted on a wheel or rim, only the tire is covered by the scope. The subject merchandise is currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 4011.20.1025, 4011.20.1035, 4011.20.5030, 4011.20.5050, 4011.61.0000, 4011.62.0000, 4011.63.0000, 4011.69.0050, 4011.92.0000, 4011.93.4000, 4011.93.8000, 4011.94.4000, 4011.94.8000, 8431.49.9038, 8431.49.9090, 8709.90.0020, and 8716.90.1020. Tires meeting the scope description may also enter under the following HTSUS subheadings: 4011.99.4550, 4011.99.8550, 8424.90.9080, 8431.20.0000, 8431.39.0010, 8431.49.1090, 8431.49.9030, 8432.90.0005, 8432.90.0015, 8432.90.0030, 8432.90.0080, 8433.90.5010, 8503.00.9520, 8503.00.9560, 8708.70.0500, 8708.70.2500, 8708.70.4530, 8716.90.5035, 8716.90.5055, 8716.90.5056 and 8716.90.5059. While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise is dispositive. A full description of the scope of the 
                    *Order*
