policy toward the country subject to the 

controls; 

4. Whether the reaction of other 

countries to the extension of such 

controls is not likely to render the 

controls ineffective in achieving the 

intended foreign policy objective or be 

counterproductive to U.S. foreign policy 

interests; 

5. The comparative benefits to U.S. 

foreign policy objectives versus the 

effect of the controls on the export 

performance of the United States, the 

competitive position of the United 

States in the international economy, the 

international reputation of the United 

States as a supplier of goods and 

technology; and 

6. The ability of the United States to 

effectively enforce the controls. 

BIS is particularly interested in 

receiving comments on the economic 

impact of proliferation controls. BIS is 

also interested in industry information 

relating to the following: 

1. Information on the effect of foreign 

policy-based export controls on sales of 

U.S. products to third countries (i.e., 

those countries not targeted by 

sanctions), including the views of 

foreign purchasers or prospective 

customers regarding U.S. foreign policybased export controls. 

2. Information on controls maintained 

by U.S. trade partners. For example, to 

what extent do U.S. trade partners have 

similar controls on goods and 

technology on a worldwide basis or to 

specific destinations? 

3. Information on licensing policies or 

practices by our foreign trade partners 

that are similar to U.S. foreign policy 

based export controls, including license 

review criteria, use of conditions, and 

requirements for pre- and post-shipment 

verifications (preferably supported by 

examples of approvals, denials and 

foreign regulations). 

4. Suggestions for bringing foreign 

policy-based export controls more into 

line with multilateral practice. 

5. Comments or suggestions to make 

multilateral controls more effective. 

6. Information that illustrates the 

effect of foreign policy-based export 

controls on trade or acquisitions by 

intended targets of the controls. 

7. Data or other information on the 

effect of foreign policy-based export 

controls on overall trade at the level of 

individual industrial sectors. 

8. Suggestions for measuring the effect 

of foreign policy-based export controls 

on trade. 

9. Information on the use of foreign 

policy-based export controls on targeted 

countries, entities, or individuals. BIS is 

also interested in comments relating 

generally to the extension or revision of 

existing foreign policy-based export 

controls. 

Parties submitting comments are 

asked to be as specific as possible. All 

comments received before the close of 

the comment period will be considered 

by BIS in reviewing the controls and in 

developing the report to Congress. All 

comments received in response to this 

notice will be displayed on BIS’s 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Web 

site at http://efoia.bis.doc.gov/ and on 

the Federal e-Rulemaking portal at 

www.Regulations.gov. All comments 

will also be included in a report to 

Congress, as required by section 6 of the 

EAA, which directs that BIS report to 

Congress the results of its consultations 

with industry on the effects of foreign 

policy-based controls.

Certain Passenger Vehicle and Light 

Truck Tires From the People’s 

Republic of China: Preliminary Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, Preliminary Determination of 

No Shipments, and Rescission, in Part; 

2015–2016 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

passenger vehicle and light truck tires 

(passenger tires) from the People’s 

Republic of China (PRC). The period of 

review (POR) is January 27, 2015 

through July 31, 2016. The 

administrative review covers 108 

respondents, including four mandatory 

respondents: Giti Tire Global Trading 

Pte. Ltd. (Giti), which we have 

preliminarily treated as a single entity 

with four affiliated companies identified 

below, Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd. 

(Sentury), which we have preliminarily 

treated as a single entity with two 

affiliated companies identified below, 

Best Choice International Trade Co., 

Limited (Best Choice), which withdrew 

its participation from the administrative 

review and will be treated as part of the 

PRC-wide entity, and Shandong Haohua 

Tire Co., Ltd. (Haohua), which 

withdrew its participation from the 

administrative review and will be 

treated as part of the PRC-wide entity. 

The Department preliminarily finds that 

Giti and Sentury sold subject 

merchandise in the United States at 

prices below normal value (NV) during 

the POR. In addition, we preliminarily 

determine that 65 companies/company 

groupings have established their 

eligibility for a separate rate, and that 

ten companies under review made no 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR. Finally, we are 

rescinding this administrative review 

with respect to Cooper Tire & Rubber 

Company/Cooper Chengshan 

(Shandong) Tire Co., Ltd./Cooper 

(Kunshan) Tire Co., Ltd. (collectively 

Cooper). Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results.

Department’s separate rate determinations, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on an analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) 

information, and comments provided by 

interested parties, the Department 

preliminarily determines that ten 

companies under review, Highpoint 

Trading, Ltd., Federal Tire (Jiangxi), 

Ltd., Federal Corporation, Weihai 

Ping’an Tyre Co., Ltd., Qingdao Free 

Trade Zone Full-World International 

Trading Co., Ltd., Seatex PTE. Ltd., 

Wendeng Sanfeng Tyre Co., Ltd., 

Shandong Hawk International Rubber 

Industry Co., Ltd., Qingdao Honghua 

Tyre Factory (Honghua), and Zenith 

Holding (HK) Limited each had no 

shipments during the POR. For 

additional information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Consistent with an announced 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

non-market economy (NME) cases, the 

Department is not rescinding this 

review, in part, but intends to complete 

the review with respect to the 

companies for which it has 

preliminarily found no shipments and 

issue appropriate instructions to CBP 

based on the final results of the review.2

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party or parties that 

requested a review withdraws the 

request within 90 days of the 

publication date of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

United Steel, Paper and Forestry, 

Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 

Industrial and Service Workers 

International Union, AFL–CIO, CLC (the 

petitioner) and Cooper withdrew their 

requests for an administrative review 

with respect to Cooper within 90 days 

of the publication date of the notice of 

initiation. No other parties requested an 

administrative review of the order with 

respect to Cooper. Therefore, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

the Department is rescinding this review 

of the AD order on passenger tires from 

the PRC with respect to Cooper. 

Preliminary Affiliation and Single 

Entity Determination 

The Department continues to find that 

Giti and the following four companies 

are affiliated pursuant to section 

771(33)(E) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and should be 

treated as a single entity pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.401(f): Giti Tire (USA) Ltd. 

(Giti USA), Giti Radial Tire (Anhui) 

Company Ltd. (Giti Anhui), Giti Tire 

(Fujian) Company Ltd. (Giti Fujian), and 

Giti Tire (Hualin) Company Ltd. (Giti 

Hualin) (collectively Giti). This 

preliminary finding is based on record 

evidence showing that the facts and 

analysis relied upon by the Department 

in the investigation of passenger tires 

from the PRC continue to be applicable 

during the instant POR. For additional 

information, see Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum at the ‘‘Single Entity 

Treatment’’ section. 

Based on information on the record of 

the instant review, the Department 

preliminarily finds that Sentury, 

Sentury Tire USA Inc (Sentury USA), 

and Sentury (Hong Kong) Trading Co., 

Limited (Sentury HK) are affiliated 

pursuant to section 771(33)(E) of the 

Act, and should be treated as a single 

entity pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f).3

Separate Rates 

The Department preliminarily 

determines that the information placed 

on the record by Giti and Sentury, as 

well as by the other companies listed in 

the rate table in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Results of Review’’ section below, 

demonstrates that these companies are 

entitled to separate rate status. The 

Department calculated weighted-average 

dumping margins for Giti and Sentury, 

and consistent with our practice, 

calculated a rate for the companies to 

which it granted separate rate status, but 

which it did not individually examine, 

based on publicly ranged sales values 

reported by Giti and Sentury.4

In addition, the Department 

preliminarily determines that certain 

companies have not demonstrated their 

entitlement to separate rate status 

because, (1) they withdrew their 

participation from the administrative 

review; or (2) they did not rebut the 

presumption of de jure or de facto 

government control of their operations. 

See Appendix 2 of this Federal Register 

notice for a complete list of companies 

not receiving a separate rate. In 

addition, five companies: Poplar Tire 

International Co. Ltd.; Qingdao Yongdao 

International Trade Co. Ltd.; Shandong 

Hongsheng Rubber Co. Ltd.; Shandong 

Xinghongyuan Tyre Co. Ltd; and 

Shanghai Durotyre International 

Trading Co. Ltd., filed separate rate 

applications even though an 

administrative review was not requested 

for or initiated on their behalf. Because 

these companies are not subject to this 

review, the Department is not 

considering their applications for 

separate-rate status. 

The Department is treating the 

companies for which it did not grant 

separate rate status as part of the PRCwide entity. Because no party requested 

a review of the PRC-wide entity, the 

entity is not under review, and the 

entity’s rate (i.e., 87.99 percent) 5 is not 

subject to change.6

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. The Department 

preliminarily determines that Giti’s and 

Sentury’s reported U.S. sales were either 

export price (EP) or constructed export 

price (CEP). We calculated EP and CEP 

sales in accordance with section 772 of 

the Act. Given that the PRC is an NME 

country, within the meaning of section 

771(18) of the Act, the Department 

calculated NV in accordance with 

section 773(c) of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying the 

preliminary results of this review, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

which is hereby adopted by this notice.

Adjustments for Countervailable 

Subsidies 

The Department has preliminarily 

granted Giti and the separate rate 

recipients an adjustment for 

countervailable domestic subsidies 

pursuant to section 777A(f) of the Act. 

In addition, the Department 

preliminarily finds that Sentury does 

not qualify for an adjustment for 

countervailable domestic subsidies.

case briefs.8 A table of contents, list of 

authorities used, and an executive 

summary of issues should accompany 

any briefs submitted to the Department. 

The summary should be limited to five 

pages total, including footnotes.9

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing must submit a written request 

to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, within 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice.10 Requests should contain the 

party’s name, address, and telephone 

number, the number of participants in, 

and a list of the issues to be discussed 

at, the hearing. Oral arguments at the 

hearing will be limited to issues raised 

in the briefs. If a request for a hearing 

is made, the Department intends to hold 

the hearing at the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230, at 

a date and time to be determined.11

Parties should confirm by telephone the 

date, time, and location of the hearing 

two days before the scheduled date of 

the hearing. 

All submissions, with limited 

exceptions, must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS.12 An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by the Department’s 

electronic records system, ACCESS, by 

5 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the due 

date. Documents excepted from the 

electronic submission requirements 

must be filed manually (i.e., in paper 

form) with the APO/Dockets Unit in 

Room 18022 and stamped with the date 

and time of receipt by 5 p.m. ET on the

Unless otherwise extended, the 

Department intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results of review, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, the Department will 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.14 The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this review. For each individually 

examined respondent in this review 

whose weighted-average dumping 

margin in the final results of review is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), the Department intends to 

calculate importer-specific assessment 

rates, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).15 Where the respondent 

reported reliable entered values, the 

Department intends to calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates by aggregating the 

amount of dumping calculated for all 

U.S. sales to the importer, and dividing 

this amount by the total entered value 

of the sales to the importer.16 Where the 

importer did not report entered values, 

the Department intends to calculate an 

importer-specific assessment rate by 

dividing the amount of dumping for 

reviewed sales to the importer by the 

total sales quantity associated with 

those transactions. Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

not zero or de minimis, the Department 

will instruct CBP to collect the 

appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

the Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.17

Pursuant to Departmental practice, for 

entries that were not reported in the 

U.S. sales database submitted by an 

exporter individually examined during 

this review, the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the rate for the PRC-wide entity.18

Additionally, if the Department 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under that exporter’s CBP 

case number will be liquidated at the 

rate for the PRC-wide entity. 

We are rescinding this review for 

Cooper. Our normal practice is to 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties at the rates equal to the cash 

deposit of estimated antidumping duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). However, Cooper’s 

entries during the POR are subject to an 

injunction. We intend to issue the 

appropriate liquidation instructions 

once the injunction on Cooper’s POR 

entries has been lifted. 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

POR entries, and for future deposits of 

estimated antidumping duties, where 

applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The Department will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit for antidumping 

duties equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which NV exceeds U.S. 

price. The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for shipments of 

the subject merchandise from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

20The review was initiated on Shandong Yongtai 

Group Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Shandong 

Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd.); however, the 

Department only granted the company a separate 

rate under its current name, Shandong Yongtai 

Group Co., Ltd. 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of this notice, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act: (1) For the exporters listed above, 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if the rate is de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then the cash 

deposit rate will be zero for that 

exporter), adjusted, where appropriate, 

for export subsidies and domestic 

subsidies passed through; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters not listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

been found to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate for the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 76.46 

percent) 19 and (4) for all non-PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC exporter that 

supplied that non-PRC exporter. These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties and/or 

countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

and/or countervailing duties has 

occurred, and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties and/or an increase in the amount 

of antidumping duties by the amount of 

the countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: August 31, 2017.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations
