# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    The Department published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on OTR Tires from the PRC.                     *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review*, 74 FR 45179 (September 1, 2009). GPX timely requested an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on OTR Tires from the PRC for the period December 17, 2007 through December 31, 2008 for several companies, including TUTRIC. In addition, the Department received timely requests from Zhongce and TUTRIC. These two companies only requested reviews of themselves.                

                    In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department published a notice initiating an administrative review of the countervailing duty order.                     *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part*, 74 FR 54956 (October 26, 2009).                

                    On December 30, 2009, the Department rescinded the review with respect to the following six companies, pursuant to a timely withdrawal by GPX of its request for reviews of these companies: Aeolus Tyre Co. Ltd., Guizhou Tire Co. Ltd., Jiangsu Feichi Co., Ltd., Shandong Huitong Tyre Co., Ltd., Tianjin Wanda Tyre Co., Ltd., and Triangle Tyre Co., Ltd.                     *See Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires From the People's Republic of China: Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review*, 75 FR 846 (December 30, 2009). On November 20, 2009, GPX withdrew its request for review of Zhongce and TUTRIC, and on January 4, 2010 and January 12, 2010, respectively, Zhongce and TUTRIC withdrew their requests for review.                

## Rescission, in Part, of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review

                    The Department's regulations provide that the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation.                     *See*19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Zhongce, the only party that self-requested a review, timely withdrew its request within the 90-day deadline. In addition, GPX and TUTRIC, the only parties that requested a review of TUTRIC, each timely withdrew their requests regarding TUTRIC within the 90-day deadline. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is rescinding this administrative review of the countervailing duty order with respect to Zhongce and TUTRIC. This administrative review will continue with respect to Hebei Starbright Tire Co.                          ( print page 24885)    

## Assessment

The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. For Zhongce and TUTRIC, countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit or bonding rate of the estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice. 

## Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: April 29, 2010.
