SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 6, 2007, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published 

the initiation of the antidumping duty 

investigation of certain new pneumatic 

off-the-road tires from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See 

Initiation of Antidumping Duty 

Investigation: Certain New Pneumatic 

Off-the-Road Tires From the People’s 

Republic of China, 72 FR 43591 (August 

6, 2007) (‘‘Notice of Initiation’’). The 

notice of initiation stated that we would 

make our preliminary determination for 

this antidumping duty investigation no 

later than 140 days after the date of 

issuance of the initiation. Currently, the 

preliminary determination is due 

December 17, 2007. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination 

On November 15, 2007, the Titan Tire 

Corporation, a subsidiary of Titan 

International, Inc. (‘‘Titan’’), and the 

United Steel, Paper and Forestry, 

Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 

Industrial and Service Workers 

International Union, AFL–CIO–CLC 

(‘‘USW’’) (collectively, ‘‘Petitioners’’), 

made a timely request pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.205(e) for a 50-day 

postponement of the preliminary 

determination. Petitioners requested 

postponement of the preliminary 

determination because it will provide 

the Department additional time to 

evaluate the questionnaire responses. 

Petitioners argue that issues have 

emerged concerning potential PRC 

government involvement in the export 

and other commercial activities of 

certain of certain respondents. Finally, 

Petitioners argue that if the Department 

issues supplemental questionnaires to 

the mandatory respondents and the 

separate-rates companies, those 

responses would be due in December, 

which would not provide the 

Department or the parties sufficient time 

for analysis and comment, or permit the 

Department to issue further 

supplemental questionnaires prior to 

the currently scheduled December 17, 

2007, preliminary determination. 

Under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), if Petitioners make a timely 

request for a postponement of the 

preliminary determination, the 

Department may postpone the 

preliminary determination under 

subsection (b)(1) until no later than the 

190th day after the initiation of the 

investigation. 

Therefore, for reasons identified by 

Petitioners, we are postponing the 

preliminary determination under 

section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act by 50 

days to February 5, 2008. Pursuant to 

735(a) of the Act, the deadline for the 

final determination will continue to be 

75 days after the date of the preliminary 

determination, or if extended, up to 135 

days after the date of publication of the 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to sections 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
