intent to rescind this review, because
SXT’s request for an NSR included an
inaccurately certified statement that
SXT is not affiliated with any PRC
exporter or producer that exported
subject merchandise (i.e., passenger
tires from the PRC) to the United States
during the period of time examined in
the original CVD investigation (i.e.,
January 1, 2013, through December 31,
2013) and, as such, SXT had not
satisfied the statutory and regulatory
requirements to request an NSR.6 Based
on the Department’s complete analysis
of all information and comments on the
record of this review, we make no
changes to our findings in the
Preliminary Rescission. Accordingly, for
the reasons discussed in the Preliminary
Rescission and the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, we have determined to
rescind this NSR with respect to SXT.7
30.61 percent); and (3) for subject
merchandise manufactured by SXT but
exported by any other party, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable
to the exporter. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Assessment
Administrative Protective Orders
Because the Department is rescinding
this NSR, we have not calculated a
company-specific countervailing
subsidy rate for SXT. SXT’s entries
during the POR will be assessed at the
cash deposit rate required at the time of
entry, which is the ‘‘all-others’’ rate (i.e.,
30.61 percent).
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, 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 Department is issuing and
publishing these results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 771(i)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective upon publication of this
notice of the final rescission of this
NSR, the Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to
require a cash deposit for entries of
subject merchandise from SXT. The
following cash deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of
this rescission for all shipments of
subject merchandise from SXT entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act): (1) For subject
merchandise produced and exported by
SXT, the cash deposit rate will continue
to be the all-others rate (i.e., 30.61
percent); (2) for subject merchandise
exported by SXT but not manufactured
by SXT, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the all-others rate (i.e.,

Assessment
Because the Department is rescinding this NSR, we have not
calculated a company-specific countervailing subsidy rate for SXT.
SXT's entries during the POR will be assessed at the cash deposit rate
required at the time of entry, which is the ``all-others'' rate (i.e.,
30.61 percent).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective upon publication of this notice of the final rescission
of this NSR, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to require a cash deposit for entries of subject merchandise
from SXT. The following cash deposit requirements will be effective
upon publication of this rescission for all shipments of subject
merchandise from SXT entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act):
(1) For subject merchandise produced and exported by SXT, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the all-others rate (i.e., 30.61
percent); (2) for subject merchandise exported by SXT but not
manufactured by SXT, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the all-
others rate (i.e., 30.61 percent); and (3) for subject merchandise
manufactured by SXT but exported by any other party, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of 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 countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent
