 SUMMARY: On May 19, 2022, the U.S. Court of International Trade (the Court) issued its final judgment in 
                        *Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd., et al.*
                         v. 
                        *United States,*
                         Consol. Court No. 18-00079, sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce's (Commerce) third remand results pertaining to the administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain passenger vehicles and light truck tires (passenger tires) from the People's Republic of China (China), covering the period January 27, 2015, through July 31, 2016. Commerce is notifying the public that the Court's final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce's final results of the administrative review, and that Commerce is amending the final results with respect to the dumping margin assigned to Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd. and certain separate rate respondents. In addition, Commerce is amending the final results for Pirelli Tyre Co., Ltd. (Pirelli Tyre Co.) for a portion of the period of review (POR) (
                        *i.e.,*
                         January 27, 2015, through October 19, 2015).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 16, 2018, Commerce published its 
                    *Final Results*
                     in the 2015-2016 AD administrative review of passenger tires from China. In the 
                    *Final Results,*
                     Commerce determined that Pirelli Tyre Co. did not qualify for a separate rate because it failed to rebut the presumption of 
                    *de facto*
                     or 
                    *de jure*
                     Chinese government control of its operations during the POR.[1]
                    
                     In addition, Commerce also denied Pirelli Tyre Co. a separate rate for the portion of the administrative review before China National Chemical Corporation (Chem China) acquired majority indirect ownership in the company, January 2015 to October 2015.[2] Pirelli [3]
                    
                     appealed Commerce's 
                    *Final Results.*
                     On November 27, 2019, the Court remanded the 
                    *Final Results*
                     to Commerce for a more fulsome discussion of the criteria for 
                    *de jure*
                     and 
                    *de facto*
                     government control regarding Commerce's finding that Pirelli does not qualify for a separate rate, stating that Commerce failed to adequately explain how the acquisition of Pirelli S.p.A. by Chem China 
                        *in Italy*
                         altered the ownership of Pirelli entities 
                        *in China*
                         such that the rebuttable presumption of government ownership applies or that if the presumption applies, that evidence on the record was not sufficient to rebut the presumption.[4] In the 
                    *Passenger Tires First Remand Redetermination*
                     issued in March 2020, Commerce continued to find that Pirelli Tyre Co. failed to rebut the presumption of 
                    *de facto*
                     Chinese-government control during the POR.[5]
                    
                     On December 21, 2020, the Court sustained Commerce's finding on remand that Pirelli Tyre Co. failed to rebut the presumption of government control and Commerce's assignment of the China-wide entity rate to Pirelli Tyre Co. for the period October 20, 2015, through July 31, 2016. However, the Court remanded Commerce's irrecoverable value-added tax (VAT) determination, ordering Commerce to recalculate Qingdao Sentury's [6]
                    
                     export price without any adjustment for its irrecoverable VAT.[7] In the 
                    *Passenger Tires Second Remand Redetermination*
                     issued on March 1, 2021, Commerce removed the downward adjustment to Qingdao Sentury's export price accounting for its irrecoverable VAT from our final calculations, and accordingly, revised the weighted-average dumping margin for Qingdao Sentury as well as for certain separate rate respondents.[8]
                    
                     The 
                    ( print page 33718)
                    Court sustained Commerce's recalculation of the weighted-average dumping margin for Qingdao Sentury and certain separate rate respondents, but remanded the issue of whether Pirelli Tyre Co. was eligible for separate rate status for the period prior to Chem China's acquisition, January 27, 2015, through October 19, 2015.[9] In the 
                    *Passenger Tires Third Remand Redetermination,*
                     issued on December 3, 2021, Commerce found that Pirelli Tyre Co. rebutted the presumption of 
                    *de jure*
                     and 
                    *de facto*
                     Chinese government control, and as a result, found that Pirelli Tyre Co. is eligible for a separate rate during the period January 27, 2015, through October 19, 2015.[10]
                    
                     On May 19, 2022, the Court sustained Commerce's final redetermination.[11] Timken Notice In its decision in 
                    *Timken,*[12]
                    
                     as clarified by 
                    *Diamond Sawblades,*[13]
                    
                     the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of court decision that is not “in harmony” with a Commerce determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a “conclusive” court decision. The Court's May 19, 2022, judgment constitutes a final decision of the Court that is not in harmony with Commerce's 
                    *Final Results.*
                     Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of 
                    *Timken.* Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its 
                    *Final Results*
                     with respect to Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd., certain separate rate companies, and Pirelli Tyre Co., Ltd. as follows: Producer/exporter

This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rate for those exporters/producers. For all producers/exporters that do not have a superseding cash deposit rate, Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP. Liquidation of Suspended Entries At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by Court order from liquidating entries that: Were exported by Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd. or Pirelli Tyre Co., Ltd., and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period January 27, 2015, through July 31, 2016. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process. In the event the Court's ruling is not appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise exported by: (1) Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd. at the rate noted above; and (2) Pirelli Tyre Co., Ltd. at 1.45 percent for the period January 27, 2015, through October 19, 2015 and at 76.46 percent for the period October 20, 2015, through July 31, 2016.
