Investigation’’ in Appendix I of this
notice.
Scope Comments
Two interested parties submitted

receiving permission from the
Department to file their scope requests.
The Department received comments
concerning these requests and has
addressed the comments in the Issues

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs that were submitted by
parties in this investigation are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of issues raised is
attached to this notice as Appendix II.
The Issues and Decision Memorandum
is a public document and is made
available to the public via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users

determination, we continue to
determine that critical circumstances
exist for PCT, the non-selected separate
rate respondents, and the PRC-wide
entity.6
Verification
Combination Rates
As provided in section 782(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
we verified the U.S. sales and factors of
production information submitted by
Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Co.,
Ltd. (PCT) in October 2016.3 We used
standard verification procedures,
including an examination of relevant
accounting and production records, and
original source documents provided by
PCT.
Consistent with Preliminary
Determinations 7 and Policy Bulletin
05.1,8 the Department calculated
combination rates for the respondents
that are eligible for a separate rate in
this investigation.

As detailed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, Double Coin Holdings
Ltd., a mandatory respondent in this
investigation, did not demonstrate that
it was entitled to a separate rate.9
Accordingly, we consider this company
to be part of the PRC-wide entity.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with sections
735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, because we
continue to find that critical
circumstances exist, we will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
suspend liquidation of all entries of
truck and bus tires from the PRC, as
described in Appendix I, that were
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after June 8,
2016, which is 90 days prior to the date
of publication of the Preliminary
Determinations, and to require a cash
deposit for such entries.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), upon
the publication of this notice, the
Department will instruct CBP to require
a cash deposit 10 equal to the weightedaverage amount by which the normal
value exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the exporter/
producer combinations listed in the
table above will be the rate identified in
the table; (2) for all combinations of PRC
exporters/producers of merchandise
under consideration that have not
received their own separate rate above,
the cash-deposit rate will be the cash

Comments 2 through 7.

Practice of Accepting Bonds During the Provisional
Measures Period in Antidumping and

deposit rate established for the PRCwide entity; and (3) for all non-PRC
exporters of merchandise under
consideration which have not received
their own separate rate above, the cashdeposit rate will be the cash deposit rate
applicable to the PRC exporter/producer
combination that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These suspension of
liquidation instructions will remain in
effect until further notice.
If the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) makes an affirmative
final determination,11 we will adjust the
cash deposit rates by deducting
applicable domestic pass-through and
export subsidies rates from the final
margins. With respect to PCT, the nonselected respondents eligible for a
separate rate, and the PRC-wide entity,
the applicable domestic pass-through
subsidies and export subsidies
respectively constitute 16.58 percent 12
and 11.01 percent 13 of the final
11 See the International Trade Commission
Notification section, infra.
12 See the Memorandum to the File entitled,
‘‘Truck and Bus Tires from the People’s Republic
of China: Final Double Remedy Memorandum,’’
dated concurrently with this notice (Final Double
Remedy Memorandum).
13 The Department determined that Export
Buyer’s Credit from State-Owned Banks and Export
Seller’s Credit from State-Owned Banks were export
specific and, from these programs, Double Coin
Holdings Ltd. and Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd., received
countervailable subsidies. See the signed Federal
Register notice of Truck and Bus Tires from the
People’s Republic of China: Final Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determination, Final
Affirmative Critical Circumstances Determination,
in Part, and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Determination in the
Countervailing Duty Investigation of Truck and Bus
Tires from the People’s Republic of China; and

calculated countervailing duty rate in
the concurrent countervailing duty
investigation. Thus, if the ITC makes an
affirmative final determination, we will
offset the rate of 9.00 percent for PCT
and the non-selected respondents
eligible for a separate rate and the rate
of 22.57 percent for the PRC-wide entity
by the countervailing duty rate
attributable to domestic pass-through
subsidies and export subsidies, i.e.,
27.59 percent, to calculate the cash
deposit rate for this investigation.
Accordingly, the cash deposit rates will
be zero percent for PCT, the nonselected respondents eligible for a
separate rate, and the PRC-wide entity.
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed to parties in this proceeding
within five days after public
announcement of the final
determination in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the ITC of our
final affirmative determination of sales
at LTFV. Because the final
determination in this proceeding is
affirmative, in accordance with section
735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make
its final determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports of
subject merchandise from the PRC no
at 20. See also Final Double Remedy Memorandum
at Attachment 1 for our calculation of the export
subsidies rate.

later than 45 days after our final
determination. If the ITC determines
that such injury does not exist, this
proceeding will be terminated and all
securities posted will be refunded or
canceled. If the ITC determines that
such injury does exist, the Department
will issue an antidumping duty order
directing CBP to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties on all imports of the
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice will serve as a reminder
to the parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of propriety information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of return or 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 determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.210(c).
Dated: January 19, 2017.

Appendix I
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 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; and
HC—Identifies a 17.5 inch rim diameter
code for use on low platform trailers.
All tires with a ‘‘TR’’ 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; (2) non-pneumatic tires, such as solid
rubber tires; and (3) tires that exhibit each of
the following physical characteristics: (a) The
designation ‘‘MH’’ is molded into the tire’s
sidewall as part of the size designation; (b)
the tire incorporates a warning, prominently
molded on the sidewall, that the tire is for
‘‘Mobile Home Use Only;’’ and (c) the tire is
of bias construction as evidenced by the fact
that the construction code included in the
size designation molded into the tire’s
sidewall is not the letter ‘‘R.’’
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:
4011.69.0020, 4011.69.0090, 4011.70.00,
4011.90.80, 4011.99.4520, 4011.99.4590,

PRC-Wide Entity................ ....................... 22.57
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As detailed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, Double Coin
Holdings Ltd., a mandatory respondent in this investigation, did not
demonstrate that it was entitled to a separate rate.\9\ Accordingly, we
consider this company to be part of the PRC-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comments 2 through 7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with sections 735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, because we
continue to find that critical circumstances exist, we will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of all
entries of truck and bus tires from the PRC, as described in Appendix
I, that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on
or after June 8, 2016, which is 90 days prior to the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determinations, and to require a cash
deposit for such entries.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), upon the publication of this notice,
the Department will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit \10\ equal
to the weighted-average amount by which the normal value exceeds U.S.
price as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the exporter/producer
combinations listed in the table above will be the rate identified in
the table; (2) for all combinations of PRC exporters/producers of
merchandise under consideration that have not received their own
separate rate above, the cash-deposit rate will be the cash deposit
rate established for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for all non-PRC
exporters of merchandise under consideration which have not received
their own separate rate above, the cash-deposit rate will be the cash
deposit rate applicable to the PRC exporter/producer combination that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These suspension of liquidation
instructions will remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Modification of Regulations Regarding the Practice of
Accepting Bonds During the Provisional Measures Period in
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations, 76 FR 61042
(October 3, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) makes an
affirmative final determination,\11\ we will adjust the cash deposit
rates by deducting applicable domestic pass-through and export
subsidies rates from the final margins. With respect to PCT, the non-
selected respondents eligible for a separate rate, and the PRC-wide
entity, the applicable domestic pass-through subsidies and export
subsidies respectively constitute 16.58 percent \12\ and 11.01 percent
\13\ of the final calculated countervailing duty rate in the concurrent
countervailing duty investigation. Thus, if the ITC makes an
affirmative final determination, we will offset the rate of 9.00
percent for PCT and the non-selected respondents eligible for a
separate rate and the rate of 22.57 percent for the PRC-wide entity by
the countervailing duty rate attributable to domestic pass-through
subsidies and export subsidies, i.e., 27.59 percent, to calculate the
cash deposit rate for this investigation. Accordingly, the cash deposit
rates will be zero percent for PCT, the non-selected respondents
eligible for a separate rate, and the PRC-wide entity.

\11\ See the International Trade Commission Notification
section, infra.
\12\ See the Memorandum to the File entitled, ``Truck and Bus
Tires from the People's Republic of China: Final Double Remedy
Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this notice (Final Double
Remedy Memorandum).
\13\ The Department determined that Export Buyer's Credit from
State-Owned Banks and Export Seller's Credit from State-Owned Banks
were export specific and, from these programs, Double Coin Holdings
Ltd. and Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd., received countervailable subsidies.
See the signed Federal Register notice of Truck and Bus Tires from
the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing
Duty Determination, Final Affirmative Critical Circumstances
Determination, in Part, and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Determination in the Countervailing Duty
Investigation of Truck and Bus Tires from the People's Republic of
China; and Final Affirmative Determination of Critical
Circumstances, in Part, issued on January 19, 2017, at 20. See also

of the export subsidies rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after public announcement of the final
determination in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the
ITC of our final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because
the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its
final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United
States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by
reason of imports of subject merchandise from the PRC no
[[Page 8605]]
later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines
that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and
all securities posted will be refunded or canceled. If the ITC
determines that such injury does exist, the Department will issue an
antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department, antidumping duties on all imports of the
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of
liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice will serve as a reminder to the parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of propriety information disclosed under APO
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written notification of
return or 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 determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c).
Dated: January 19, 2017.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
Appendix I
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; and
HC--Identifies a 17.5 inch rim diameter code for use on low
platform trailers.
All tires with a ``TR'' 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; (2) non-
pneumatic tires, such as solid rubber tires; and (3) tires that
exhibit each of the following physical characteristics: (a) The
designation ``MH'' is molded into the tire's sidewall as part of the
size designation; (b) the tire incorporates a warning, prominently
molded on the sidewall, that the tire is for ``Mobile Home Use
Only;'' and (c) the tire is of bias construction as evidenced by the
fact that the construction code included in the size designation
molded into the tire's sidewall is not the letter ``R.''
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: 4011.69.0020,
4011.69.0090, 4011.70.00, 4011.90.80, 4011.99.4520, 4011.99.4590,
4011.99.8520, 4011.99.8590, 8708.70.4530, 8708.70.6030,
8708.70.6060, and 8716.90.5059.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ On August 26, 2016, the Department included HTSUS
subheadings 4011.69.0020, 4011.69.0090, and 8716.90.5059 to the case
reference files, pursuant to requests by CBP and the petitioner. See
Memorandum to the File entitled, ``Requests from Customs and Border
Protection and the Petitioner to Update the ACE Case Reference
File,'' dated August 26, 2016. On January 19, 2017, the Department
included HTSUS subheadings 4011.70.00 and 4011.90.80 to the case
reference files, pursuant to requests by CBP. See Memorandum to the
File entitled, ``Requests from Customs and Border Protection to
Update the ACE Case Reference File,'' dated January 19, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and for
customs purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise
is dispositive.
