Methodology 

On September 4, 2008, the 

Department issued a countervailing 

duty order on new pneumatic tires 

designed for OTR and off-highway use.2

The Department is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 

each of the subsidy programs found 

countervailable, we preliminarily find 

that there is a subsidy, (i.e., a financial 

contribution from an authority that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient) 

and that the subsidy is specific.3 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary conclusions, 

including our reliance, in part, on 

adverse facts otherwise available 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, see the accompanying 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A 

list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

provided at Appendix I to this notice. 

The Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov, and is 

available to all parties in the Central 

Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum and 

the electronic version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the 

countervailable subsidy rates to be: 

Company 

Subsidy 

rate 

(percent) 

Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd./Guizhou 

Tyre Import & Export Co., Ltd 39.10 

Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co. Ltd ... 91.94 

Company 

Subsidy 

rate 

(percent) 

Non-Selected Companies Under 

Review .................................... 39.10 

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected 

Companies Under Review 

The statute and the Department’s 

regulations do not directly address the 

establishment of rates to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

examination where the Department 

limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(e)(2) of the Act. However, 

the Department normally determines the 

rates for non-selected companies in 

reviews in a manner that is consistent 

with section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in an investigation. 

Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act 

instructs the Department as a general 

rule to calculate an all others rate using 

the weighted average of the subsidy 

rates established for the producers/ 

exporters individually examined, 

excluding any zero, de minimis, or rates 

based entirely on facts available. In this 

review, the preliminary subsidy rates 

calculated for Guizhou Tyre and its 

cross-owned affiliates are above de 

minimis and are not based entirely on 

facts available. Therefore, for the 

companies for which a review was 

requested that were not selected as 

mandatory company respondents and 

which we are not finding to be crossowned with the mandatory company 

respondents, we are preliminarily 

basing the subsidy rate on the subsidy 

rate calculated for Guizhou Tyre. For a 

list of these non-selected companies, 

please see Appendix II to this notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

The Department will disclose to 

parties to this proceeding the 

calculations performed in reaching the 

preliminary results within five days of 

the date of publication of these 

preliminary results.4 Interested parties 

may submit written comments (case 

briefs) within 30 days of publication of 

the preliminary results and rebuttal 

comments (rebuttal briefs) within five 

days after the time limit for filing case 

briefs.5 Rebuttal briefs must be limited 

to issues raised in the case briefs.6

Parties who submit case or rebuttal 

briefs are requested to submit with the 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.7

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing must do so within 30 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

by submitting a written request to the 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, using Enforcement and 

Compliance’s ACCESS system.8

Requests should contain the party’s 

name, address, and telephone number, 

the number of participants, and a list of 

the issues to be discussed. If a request 

for a hearing is made, we will inform 

parties of the scheduled date for the 

hearing which will be held at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230, at a time and 

location to be determined.9 Parties 

should confirm by telephone the date, 

time, and location of the hearing. Issues 

addressed at the hearing will be limited 

to those raised in the briefs.10 All briefs 

and hearing requests must be filed 

electronically and received successfully 

in their entirety through ACCESS by 

5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Unless the deadline is extended 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act, the Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of our 

analysis of the issues raised by the 

parties in their comments, within 120 

days after publication of these 

preliminary results. 

Assessment Rates and Cash Deposit 

Requirement 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. We intend to issue instructions 

to CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of review. 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, the Department also intends to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties, in the 

amounts shown above for each of the 

respective companies shown above, on 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits at the most-recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
46756 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 193 / Friday, October 6, 2017 / Notices 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

These preliminary results of review 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 

351.221(b)(4).
