(Commission) determined, pursuant to 

section 421(b)(1) of the Trade Act of 

1974,1 that certain passenger vehicle

of certain passenger vehicle and light 

truck tires from China as follows: 55 

percent ad valorem in the first year, 45 

percent ad valorem in the second year, 

and 35 percent ad valorem in the third 

year. They further propose that, if 

applications are filed, the President 

direct the U.S. Department of Labor and 

the U.S. Department of Commerce to 

provide expedited consideration of 

Trade Adjustment Assistance for firms 

and/or workers that are affected by 

subject imports.
