Background
On September 6, 2016, the
Department published the preliminary
determination that truck and bus tires
from the PRC are being sold in the
United States at LTFV, as provided in
section 733 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).1 On September 6,
2016, the Department received timely
filed allegations of ministerial errors in
the Preliminary Determination.2

Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative
Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
and Critical Circumstances, and Postponement of
Final Determination, 81 FR 61186 (September 6,
2016) (Preliminary Determination).
2 See the ministerial error allegations from the
petitioner and Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire
Co., Ltd. (PCT) dated September 6, 2016. The
petitioner in this investigation is United Steel,
Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy,

The Department will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate,
correct any significant ministerial error
by amending the preliminary
determination according to 19 CFR
351.224(e). A ministerial error is
defined as ‘‘an error in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical error resulting from
inaccurate copying, duplication, or the
like, and any other similar type of
unintentional error which the Secretary
considers ministerial.’’ 3 A significant
ministerial error is defined as a
ministerial error, the correction of
which, singly or in combination with
other errors, would result in: (1) A
change of at least five absolute
percentage points in, but not less than
25 percent of, the weighted-average
dumping margin calculated in the
original (erroneous) preliminary
determination; or (2) a difference
between a weighted-average dumping
margin of zero or de minimis and a
weighted-average dumping margin of
greater than de minimis or vice versa.4
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and
(g)(1), the Department is amending the
Preliminary Determination to reflect the
correction of two ministerial errors it
made in the calculation of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin for
PCT, a mandatory respondent.5 The
combination of these two errors
constitutes a significant ministerial error
within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.224(g) because PCT’s margin
increased from 20.87 percent to 30.36
percent as a result of correcting these
two ministerial errors, exceeding the
significant threshold with a change of at
least five absolute percentage points and
Allied Industrial and Service Workers International
Union, AFL–CIO, CLC.
3 See section 735(e) of the Act.
4 See 19 CFR 351.224(g).
5 See Memorandum from Senior Director James
Maeder to Deputy Assistant Secretary Christian
Marsh entitled, ‘‘Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation
of Truck and Bus Tires from the People’s Republic
of China: Allegations of Ministerial Errors in the
Preliminary Determination,’’ dated concurrently
with and hereby adopted by this notice.

more than 25 percent of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin.
Because PCT is the only mandatory
respondent eligible for a separate rate,
PCT is the only respondent for which
we individually calculated an estimated
weighted-average dumping margin. For
this reason, we assigned PCT’s
calculated rate to all non-examined
separate rate respondents. With this
amended preliminary determination,
the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin for each non-examined
separate rate respondent is also
amended to 30.36 percent.
In the Preliminary Determination,
because the rate individually calculated
for PCT was lower than the highest
dumping margin alleged in the petition,
we used the highest petition rate of
22.57 percent as the adverse facts
available (AFA) applied to the PRCwide entity. Because PCT’s amended
preliminary estimated weighted-average
dumping margin is now higher than the
highest dumping margin alleged in the
petition, the AFA rate applied to the
PRC-wide entity will also be 30.36
percent.6 Because we are relying on
information obtained in the course of
this investigation on which to base this
rate, not on secondary information, it is
not necessary to corroborate this
calculated rate as AFA.7
Amended Cash Deposits and
Suspension of Liquidation
The collection of cash deposits and
suspension of liquidation will be
revised accordingly, in accordance with
section 733(d) and (f) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.224. The amended cash deposit
rate will be 29.95 percent after the
deduction of the export subsidy rate of
0.41 percent from 30.36 percent.8
Because it is an increase from the
Preliminary Determination, the
amended cash deposit rate will be
effective on the date of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register.
Amended Preliminary Determination
The Department preliminarily
determines that the following estimated
6 See Preliminary Determination and
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum
at 20 (‘‘In an investigation, the Department’s
practice with respect to the assignment of an AFA
rate is to select the higher of (1) the highest
dumping margin alleged in the petition or (2) the
highest calculated dumping margin of any
respondent in the investigation.’’) (citation
omitted).

Scope of the Investigation
BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P
The scope of the investigation covers truck
and bus tires. Truck and bus tires are new
pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a truck or
bus size designation. Truck and bus tires
covered by this investigation may be tubetype, tubeless, radial, or non-radial.
Subject tires have, at the time of
importation, the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ on the
sidewall, certifying that the tire conforms to
applicable motor vehicle safety standards.
Subject tires may also have one of the
following suffixes in their tire size
designation, which also appear on the
sidewall of the tire:
TR—Identifies tires for service on trucks or
buses to differentiate them from similarly
sized passenger car and light truck tires;
MH—Identifies tires for mobile homes; and
HC—Identifies a 17.5 inch rim diameter code
for use on low platform trailers.
All tires with a ‘‘TR,’’ ‘‘MH,’’ or ‘‘HC’’
suffix in their size designations are covered
by this investigation regardless of their
intended use.
In addition, all tires that lack one of the
above suffix markings are included in the
scope, regardless of their intended use, as
long as the tire is of a size that is among the
numerical size designations listed in the
‘‘Truck-Bus’’ section of the Tire and Rim
Association Year Book, as updated annually,
unless the tire falls within one of the specific
exclusions set out below.
Truck and bus tires, whether or not
mounted on wheels or rims, are included in
the scope. However, if a subject tire is
imported mounted on a wheel or rim, only
the tire is covered by the scope. Subject
merchandise includes truck and bus tires
produced in the subject country whether
mounted on wheels or rims in the subject
country or in a third country. Truck and bus
tires are covered whether or not they are
accompanied by other parts, e.g., a wheel,
rim, axle parts, bolts, nuts, etc. Truck and bus
tires that enter attached to a vehicle are not
covered by the scope.
Specifically excluded from the scope of
this investigation are the following types of
tires: (1) Pneumatic tires, of rubber, that are
not new, including recycled and retreaded
tires; and (2) non-pneumatic tires, such as
solid rubber tires.
The subject merchandise is currently
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings: 4011.20.1015 and
4011.20.5020. Tires meeting the scope
description may also enter under the
following HTSUS subheadings:
4011.99.4520, 4011.99.4590, 4011.99.8520,
4011.99.8590, 8708.70.4530, 8708.70.6030,
and 8708.70.6060. On August 26, 2016, the
Department included HTSUS subheadings
4011.69.0020, 4011.69.0090, and

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For
each of the subsidy programs found
countervailable, we preliminarily find
that there is a subsidy, (i.e., a financial
contribution from an authority that
gives rise to a benefit to the recipient)
and that the subsidy is specific.2 In
making this preliminary determination,
the Department relied, in part, on facts
otherwise available, with the
application of adverse inferences.3 For
further information, see ‘‘Use of Facts
Otherwise Available and Application of
Adverse Inferences’’ in the
accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. A list of topics discussed
in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is provided at Appendix
I to this notice.
The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov, and is
available to all parties in the Central

addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed
Preliminary Decision Memorandum and
the electronic version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine the
countervailable subsidy rates to be:

preliminarily based the non-selected
rate on an average of Guizhou Tyre’s
and Xuzhou Xugong’s subsidy rates. For
a list of these companies, please see
Appendix II.
2 See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act
regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E)

Truck and Bus Tires From the People's Republic of China: Amended
Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On September 6, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary determination of sales at less
than fair value (LTFV) in the LTFV investigation of truck and bus tires
from the People's Republic of China (the PRC). We are amending our
preliminary determination to correct two ministerial errors which are
significant in combination.
DATES: Effective October 14, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yang Jin Chun or Andre Gziryan, AD/CVD

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue

2201, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 6, 2016, the Department published the preliminary
determination that truck and bus tires from the PRC are being sold in
the United States at LTFV, as provided in section 733 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).\1\ On September 6, 2016, the Department
received timely filed allegations of ministerial errors in the
Preliminary Determination.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Truck and Bus Tires From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Affirmative Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value and Critical Circumstances, and Postponement of Final
Determination, 81 FR 61186 (September 6, 2016) (Preliminary
Determination).
\2\ See the ministerial error allegations from the petitioner
and Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Co., Ltd. (PCT) dated September
6, 2016. The petitioner in this investigation is United Steel, Paper
and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and
Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Period of Investigation
The period of investigation is July 1, 2015, through December 31,
2015.
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation are truck and bus tires.
For a full description of the scope of this investigation, see the
``Scope of the Investigation'' in the Appendix of this notice.
Analysis of Significant Ministerial Error Allegation
The Department will analyze any comments received and, if
appropriate, correct any significant ministerial error by amending the
preliminary determination according to 19 CFR 351.224(e). A ministerial
error is defined as ``an error in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional
error which the Secretary considers ministerial.'' \3\ A significant
ministerial error is defined as a ministerial error, the correction of
which, singly or in combination with other errors, would result in: (1)
A change of at least five absolute percentage points in, but not less
than 25 percent of, the weighted-average dumping margin calculated in
the original (erroneous) preliminary determination; or (2) a difference
between a weighted-average dumping margin of zero or de minimis and a
weighted-average dumping margin of greater than de minimis or vice
versa.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See section 735(e) of the Act.
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.224(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (g)(1), the Department is
amending the Preliminary Determination to reflect the correction of two
ministerial errors it made in the calculation of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin for PCT, a mandatory respondent.\5\ The
combination of these two errors constitutes a significant ministerial
error within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(g) because PCT's margin
increased from 20.87 percent to 30.36 percent as a result of correcting
these two ministerial errors, exceeding the significant threshold with
a change of at least five absolute percentage points and more than 25
percent of the estimated weighted-average dumping margin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Memorandum from Senior Director James Maeder to Deputy
Assistant Secretary Christian Marsh entitled, ``Less-Than-Fair-Value
Investigation of Truck and Bus Tires from the People's Republic of
China: Allegations of Ministerial Errors in the Preliminary
Determination,'' dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because PCT is the only mandatory respondent eligible for a
separate rate, PCT is the only respondent for which we individually
calculated an estimated weighted-average dumping margin. For this
reason, we assigned PCT's calculated rate to all non-examined separate
rate respondents. With this amended preliminary determination, the
estimated weighted-average dumping margin for each non-examined
separate rate respondent is also amended to 30.36 percent.
In the Preliminary Determination, because the rate individually
calculated for PCT was lower than the highest dumping margin alleged in
the petition, we used the highest petition rate of 22.57 percent as the
adverse facts available (AFA) applied to the PRC-wide entity. Because
PCT's amended preliminary estimated weighted-average dumping margin is
now higher than the highest dumping margin alleged in the petition, the
AFA rate applied to the PRC-wide entity will also be 30.36 percent.\6\
Because we are relying on information obtained in the course of this
investigation on which to base this rate, not on secondary information,
it is not necessary to corroborate this calculated rate as AFA.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Preliminary Determination and accompanying Preliminary
Decision Memorandum at 20 (``In an investigation, the Department's
practice with respect to the assignment of an AFA rate is to select
the higher of (1) the highest dumping margin alleged in the petition
or (2) the highest calculated dumping margin of any respondent in
the investigation.'') (citation omitted).
\7\ See 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluroethane From the People's Republic of
China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 79 FR
62597 (October 20, 2014), and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum at 3. See also section 776(c) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.308(c) and (d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amended Cash Deposits and Suspension of Liquidation
The collection of cash deposits and suspension of liquidation will
be revised accordingly, in accordance with section 733(d) and (f) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224. The amended cash deposit rate will be 29.95
percent after the deduction of the export subsidy rate of 0.41 percent
from 30.36 percent.\8\ Because it is an increase from the Preliminary
Determination, the amended cash deposit rate will be effective on the
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

Appendix
Scope of the Investigation
The scope of the investigation covers truck and bus tires. Truck
and bus tires are new pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a truck or
bus size designation. Truck and bus tires covered by this
investigation may be tube-type, tubeless, radial, or non-radial.
Subject tires have, at the time of importation, the symbol
``DOT'' on the sidewall, certifying that the tire conforms to
applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Subject tires may also
have one of the following suffixes in their tire size designation,
which also appear on the sidewall of the tire:
TR--Identifies tires for service on trucks or buses to differentiate
them from similarly sized passenger car and light truck tires;
MH--Identifies tires for mobile homes; and
HC--Identifies a 17.5 inch rim diameter code for use on low platform
trailers.
All tires with a ``TR,'' ``MH,'' or ``HC'' suffix in their size
