Background.—In March 2017, the Commission determined that an industry in the United States was not materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of TBTs from China that were sold in the United States at less than fair value and that were subsidized by the Government of China. Truck and Bus Tires from China, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-556 and 731-TA-1311 (Final), USITC Pub. 4673 (March 2017). Petitioner contested the Commission's determinations before the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”). The CIT sustained certain challenged aspects of the Commission's negative determinations, but remanded for reconsideration of the Commission's analysis of price effects and likely prices effects, and of the nature of the countervailable subsidies for purposes of the threat of material injury analysis.

Participation in the remand proceedings.—Only those persons who were interested parties that participated in the investigations (i.e., persons listed on the Commission Secretary's service list) and also parties to the appeal may participate in the remand proceedings. Such persons need not file any additional appearances with the Commission to participate in the remand proceedings, unless they are adding new individuals to the list of persons entitled to receive business proprietary information (“BPI”) under administrative protective order. BPI referred to during the remand proceedings will be governed, as appropriate, by the administrative protective order issued in the investigations. The Secretary will maintain a service list containing the names and addresses of all persons or their representatives who are parties to the remand proceedings, and the Secretary will maintain a separate list of those authorized to receive BPI under the administrative protective order during the remand proceedings.
The comments must be based solely on the information in the Commission's record. The Commission will reject submissions containing additional factual information or arguments pertaining to issues other than those on which the Court has remanded this matter. The deadline for filing comments is December 11, 2018. Comments must be limited to no more than ten (10) double-spaced and single-sided pages of textual material.

All written submissions must conform to the provisions of section 201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules.
