Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 108 / Monday, June 6, 2016 / Notices
provided by SXT in its request.9 In
particular, the CBP data confirmed the
price and quantity reported by SXT for
the sale that forms the basis for this NSR
request.
Background
The Department published the
antidumping duty order on passenger
tires from the PRC in the Federal
Register on August 10, 2015.1 On
February 25, 2016, the Department
received a timely request for a NSR from
SXT.2 SXT certified that it is the
exporter and producer of the passenger
tires upon which the request for a NSR
is based.3 Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(i), SXT certified that it did
not export passenger tires for sale to the
United States during the period of
investigation (POI).4 Moreover, pursuant
to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), SXT
certified that, since the investigation
was initiated, it never has been affiliated
with any exporter or producer who
exported the subject merchandise to the
United States during the POI, including
those not individually examined during
the investigation.5 Further, as required
by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), it
certified that its export activities are not
controlled by the central government of
the PRC.6 SXT also certified it had no
subsequent shipments of subject
merchandise.7
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), SXT submitted
documentation establishing the
following: (1) The date of its first sale to
an unaffiliated customer in the United
States; (2) the date on which the
passenger tires were first entered; and
(3) the volume of that shipment.8
The Department queried the database
of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) in an attempt to confirm that the
shipment reported by SXT had entered
the United States for consumption and
that liquidation had been properly
suspended for antidumping duties. The
information which the Department
examined was consistent with that

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Period of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(c), an
exporter or producer may request a NSR
within one year of the date on which its
subject merchandise was first entered.
Moreover, 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1) states
that if the request for the review is made
during the six-month period ending
with the end of the semiannual
anniversary month, the Secretary will
initiate a NSR in the calendar month
immediately following the semiannual
anniversary month. Further, 19 CFR
315.214(g)(1)(i)(B) states that if the NSR
was initiated in the month immediately
following the semiannual anniversary
month, the POR will be the six-month
period immediately preceding the
semiannual anniversary month. SXT
made the request for a NSR, that
included all documents and information
required by the statute and regulations,
within one year of the date on which its
passenger tires first entered. Its request
was filed in February, which is the
semiannual anniversary month of the
order. Therefore, the POR is August 1,
2015, through January 31, 2016.10

Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b), and the
information on the record, the
Department finds that SXT’s request
meets the threshold requirements for
initiation of a NSR and, therefore, is
initiating a NSR of SXT. The
Department intends to issue the
preliminary results within 180 days
after the date on which this review is
initiated and the final results within 90
days after the date on which we issue
the preliminary results.11
It is the Department’s usual practice
in cases involving non-market
economies to require that a company
seeking to establish eligibility for an
antidumping duty rate separate from the
country-wide rate (i.e., a separate rate)
provide evidence of de jure and de facto
absence of government control over the
company’s export activities.12
Accordingly, the Department will issue

questionnaires to SXT, which will
include a section requesting information
with regard to its export activities for
the purpose of establishing its eligibility
for a separate rate. The review will
proceed if the responses provide
sufficient indication that SXT is not
subject to either de jure or de facto
government control with respect to its
exports of passenger tires.
On February 24, 2016, the President
signed into law the ‘‘Trade Facilitation
and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015,’’
H.R. 644, which made several
amendments to section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act. We will conduct this new
shipper review in accordance with
section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, as
amended by the Trade Facilitation and
Trade Enforcement Act of 2015.13
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in this
proceeding should submit applications
for disclosure under administrative
protective order in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305 and 351.306.
This initiation and notice are in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(c)(1)(i).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
On August 27, 2014, the Department
issued the 2012 Final Results.7 In the
2012 Final Results, the Department
assigned Toscelik the total net subsidy
rate it had calculated for Toscelik in the
prior review of that company, the 2011
Final Results.8 Toscelik had challenged
its rate in the 2011 Final Results at the
Court and, as a result of remand
redetermination and the Court’s
affirmance thereof, Toscelik’s rate from
the 2011 Final Results decreased.9
Toscelik then challenged the
Department’s 2012 Final Results,
contending that the results of its
challenge to the rate from the 2011 Final
Results should extent to the rate the
Department assigned Toscelik for the
2012 POR. At issue in the instant
litigation was whether the Department
should apply the rate the Department
determined in the 2011 Amended Final
Results to the 2012 Final Results,
instead of the rate originally assigned to
Toscelik, notwithstanding that Toscelik
failed to exhaust its administrative
remedies on this issue.
The Court held that absent the
administrative record underlying the
2011 subsidy rate (pulled forward to
2012), Toscelik lacked an argument
‘‘that could have resulted in redress of
the error in the eleventh review.’’ 10 The
Court further held that the 2012
determination with regard to Toscelik
represented a ‘‘derivative action’’ that
‘‘turns wholly on the lawfulness vel non
of the {2011 review}.’’ 11 The Court,
thus, considered that in this case the
law did not require Toscelik to file an
administrative brief merely to preserve
the right to appeal and directed
Commerce to consider in its remand the
