Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2011 / Notices
foregoing list of vehicles and equipment
generally have in common that they are
used for hauling, towing, lifting, and/or
loading a wide variety of equipment and
materials in agricultural, construction
and industrial settings. Such vehicles
and equipment, and the descriptions
contained in the footnotes are
illustrative of the types of vehicles and
equipment that use certain OTR tires,
but are not necessarily all-inclusive.
While the physical characteristics of
certain OTR tires will vary depending
on the specific applications and
conditions for which the tires are
designed (e.g., tread pattern and depth),
all of the tires within the scope have in
common that they are designed for offroad and off-highway use. Except as
discussed below, OTR tires included in
the scope of the order range in size (rim
diameter) generally but not exclusively
from 8 inches to 54 inches. The tires
may be either tube-type 20 or tubeless,
radial or non-radial, and intended for
sale either to original equipment
manufacturers or the replacement
market. The subject merchandise is
currently classifiable under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings: 4011.20.10.25,
4011.20.10.35, 4011.20.50.30,
4011.20.50.50, 4011.61.00.00,
4011.62.00.00, 4011.63.00.00,
4011.69.00.00, 4011.92.00.00,
4011.93.40.00, 4011.93.80.00,
4011.94.40.00, and 4011.94.80.00. While
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Specifically excluded from the scope
are new pneumatic tires designed,
manufactured and offered for sale
primarily for on-highway or on-road
use, including passenger cars, race cars,
station wagons, sport utility vehicles,
minivans, mobile homes, motorcycles,
bicycles, on-road or on-highway trailers,
light trucks, and trucks and buses. Such
tires generally have in common that the
symbol ‘‘DOT’’ must appear on the
sidewall, certifying that the tire
conforms to applicable motor vehicle
safety standards. Such excluded tires
may also have the following
designations that are used by the Tire
and Rim Association:
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Prefix Letter Designations
• P—Identifies a tire intended
primarily for service on passenger cars;
20 While tube-type tires are subject to the scope
of this proceeding, tubes and flaps are not subject
merchandise and therefore are not covered by the
scope of this proceeding, regardless of the manner
in which they are sold (e.g., sold with or separately
from subject merchandise).
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:39 Jan 24, 2011
Jkt 223001
• LT—Identifies a tire intended
primarily for service on light trucks;
and,
• ST—Identifies a special tire for
trailers in highway service.
Suffix Letter Designations
• TR—Identifies a tire for service on
trucks, buses, and other vehicles with
rims having specified rim diameter of
nominal plus 0.156″ or plus 0.250″;
• MH—Identifies tires for Mobile
Homes;
• HC—Identifies a heavy duty tire
designated for use on ‘‘HC’’ 15″ tapered
rims used on trucks, buses, and other
vehicles. This suffix is intended to
differentiate among tires for light trucks,
and other vehicles or other services,
which use a similar designation.
• Example: 8R17.5 LT, 8R17.5 HC;
• LT—Identifies light truck tires for
service on trucks, buses, trailers, and
multipurpose passenger vehicles used
in nominal highway service; and
• MC—Identifies tires and rims for
motorcycles.
The following types of tires are also
excluded from the scope: pneumatic
tires that are not new, including
recycled or retreaded tires and used
tires; non-pneumatic tires, including
solid rubber tires; tires of a kind
designed for use on aircraft, all-terrain
vehicles, and vehicles for turf, lawn and
garden, golf and trailer applications.
Also excluded from the scope are radial
and bias tires of a kind designed for use
in mining and construction vehicles and
equipment that have a rim diameter
equal to or exceeding 39 inches. Such
tires may be distinguished from other
tires of similar size by the number of
plies that the construction and mining
tires contain (minimum of 16) and the
weight of such tires (minimum 1500
pounds).
Rescission of Changed Circumstances
Review
Although it does not specifically
reference changed circumstances
reviews, section 351.213(d)(1) of the
Department’s regulations provides that
the Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party
requesting the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. The Department’s
practice has been to apply this 90-day
deadline to changed circumstances
review rescission requests.21 However,
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) also provides that
the Department may extend the 90-day
21 See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp
from India: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 75 FR 51756
(August 23, 2010).

time limit for withdrawing the request
for an administrative review if we
determine that it is reasonable to do so.
In this case, Atlas Tire requested a
rescission of this review on December 8,
2010, which is beyond 90 days from the
date of initiation. However, we note that
no interested party, including the
petitioner, has objected to Atlas Tire’s
rescission request. Additionally, the
Department has not expended
significant resources conducting this
review. Therefore, we determine that it
is reasonable to extend the 90-day time
limit in this instance. Consequently, the
Department has accepted Atlas Tire’s
rescission request in this case as timely
and is now rescinding this CCR. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will
continue to suspend entries of subject
merchandise at the appropriate cash
deposit rate for all entries of OTR tires
from the PRC.
Notification
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders
(‘‘APOs’’) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of
proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable
violation.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.216.
Dated: January 14, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce to allow,
upon request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
issued or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed
authorization is provided to the public
for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s), will not have an
unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
subsistence uses (where relevant), and if
the permissible methods of taking and
requirements pertaining to the
mitigation, monitoring and reporting of
such takings are set forth. NMFS has
defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR
216.103 as ‘‘* * * an impact resulting
from the specified activity that cannot
be reasonably expected to, and is not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the
species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’
Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA
