The Census Bureau (‘‘the Bureau’’) is widely regarded as a superior collector of data based on its centuries of experience and its scientific methods. Collection of NTIA’s requested broadband usage data, moreover, will occur in conjunction with the Bureau’s scheduled July 2015 Current Population Survey (CPS), thereby significantly reducing the potential burdens on the Bureau and on surveyed households. Questions on broadband and Internet use have been included in 12 previous CPS surveys. The U.S. government has an increasingly pressing need for comprehensive broadband data. The General Accountability Office (GAO), NTIA, and the FCC have issued reports noting the lack of useful broadband adoption data for policymakers, and Congress passed legislation—the Broadband Data Improvement Act in 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009—to address this challenge. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) looks to Census Bureau data as an important input into their inter-country benchmark analyses. Modifying the July CPS to include NTIA’s requested broadband data will allow the Commerce Department and NTIA to respond to congressional concerns and directives, and to work with the OECD on its broadband methodologies with more recent data.

SUMMARY: On October 10, 2014, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires (‘‘OTR tires’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is September 1, 2012, through August 31, 2013. This review covers the following exporters of subject merchandise: Mandatory respondents, Double Coin Holdings Ltd. (‘‘Double Coin’’) and Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd./ Guizhou Tyre Import and Export Co., Ltd. (collectively, ‘‘GTC’’), and nonexamined respondents Zhongce Rubber Group Company Limited (‘‘Zhongce’’), Weihai Zhongwei Rubber Co., Ltd. (‘‘Zhongwei’’), and Trelleborg Wheel System (Xingtai) China, Co. Ltd. (‘‘Trelleborg’’). We continue to find that GTC made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value; that Zhongce and Zhongwei are eligible for separate rates; that Double Coin failed to demonstrate eligibility for separate rate status and thus has been included in the PRC-wide entity, and that Trelleborg had no shipments during the POR. The final dumping margins for this review are listed in the ‘‘Final Results’’ section below. DATES: Effective: April 15, 2015.
