SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (the Department) is
conducting a new shipper review (NSR)
of the antidumping duty (AD) order on
passenger vehicle and light truck tires
(passenger tires) from the People’s
Republic of China (the PRC). The NSR
covers one exporter/producer of subject
merchandise, Shandong Xinghongyuan
Tire Co., Ltd. (SXT). The period of
review (POR) is August 1, 2015, through
January 31, 2016. The Department
preliminarily determines that SXT did
not satisfy the regulatory requirements
to request an NSR, and, therefore, we
are preliminarily rescinding this NSR.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on the preliminary results of
this review.
DATES: Effective January 31, 2017.

On June 3, 2016, American Omni
Trading Company, LLC (American
Omni) and Unicorn Tire Corporation
(Unicorn Tire) requested clarification of
a prior ruling regarding the scope of the
order.3 The Department issued a
preliminary clarification on October 20,
2016,4 and subsequently received
comments in support of the clarification
from American Omni and Unicorn
Tire.5 Accordingly, the Department
finalized the clarification, with no
modifications, on November 29, 2016.6
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214. For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, which is hereby
adopted by this notice.7 The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a
public document that is available
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 in the

the record, SXT has not satisfied the
statutory and regulatory requirements to
request an NSR. Specifically, the
Department finds that SXT’s request for
an NSR was based on the inaccurately
certified statement that SXT is not
affiliated with any PRC exporter or
producer that exported subject
merchandise to the United States during
the period of time examined in the
original AD investigation (i.e., October
1, 2013, through March 31, 2014).8
Further analysis of SXT’s corporate
affiliations and the factual information
underlying this preliminary rescission is
provided in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.

The Department intends to issue the
final results of this NSR, which will
include an analysis of any issues raised
in briefs, no more than 90 days after the
release of these preliminary results,
pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act.
Assessment Rates
If the Department proceeds to a final
rescission of SXT’s NSR, the assessment
rate to which SXT’s shipments will be
subject will not be affected by this
review. The Department, however,
initiated an administrative review of the
AD order on passenger tires from the
PRC covering numerous exporters for
the period of January 27, 2015, through
July 31, 2016, which encompasses the
period covered by this NSR.13
Therefore, if the Department proceeds to
a final rescission, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
continue to suspend subject
merchandise exported by SXT and
entered into the United States during
the period August 1, 2015, through
January 31, 2016, until CBP receives
instructions relating to the
abovementioned administrative review
of this order.
If the Department does not proceed to
a final rescission of this NSR, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate based on the final
results of this review. In accordance
with the Department’s assessment
practice in non-market economy
proceedings, however, the Department
will instruct CBP to liquidate entries
that were not reported in SXT’s U.S.
sales database at the PRC-wide rate.

Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective upon publication of the final
rescission or the final results of this
NSR, the Department will instruct CBP
to discontinue the option of posting
bond or security in lieu of a cash
deposit for entries of SXT’s subject
merchandise. If the Department
proceeds to a final rescission of this
NSR, the cash deposit rate for SXT will
continue to be the PRC-wide rate
because the Department will not have
determined an individual dumping

issues final results for this NSR, the
Department will instruct CBP to collect
cash deposits, effective upon
publication of the final results, at the
rates established therein.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Department’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 771(i)(1) of the
Act.

Preliminary Rescission of the Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review
The Department preliminarily finds that, based on substantial
evidence on the record, SXT has not satisfied the statutory and
regulatory requirements to request an NSR. Specifically, the Department
finds that SXT's request for an NSR was based on the inaccurately
certified statement that SXT is not affiliated with any PRC exporter or
producer that exported subject merchandise to the United States during
the period of time examined in the original AD investigation (i.e.,
October 1, 2013, through March 31, 2014).\8\ Further analysis of SXT's
corporate affiliations and the factual information underlying this
preliminary rescission is provided in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.

Exhibit 2 (certifying that ``since the investigation was initiated,
{SXT{time} has never been affiliated with any exporter or producer

period of investigation including those not individually examined

Public Comment
Interested parties may submit case briefs or other written comments
no later than 30 days after the publication of these preliminary
results in the Federal Register.\9\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues
raised in the case briefs, may be submitted no later than five days

will be limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs. If a
request for a hearing is made, the Department intends to hold the
hearing at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue
NW., Washington, DC 20230, at a date, time, and location to be
determined. Parties will be notified of the date, time, and location of

The Department intends to issue the final results of this NSR,
which will include an analysis of any issues raised in briefs, no more
than 90 days after the release of these preliminary results, pursuant
to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
If the Department proceeds to a final rescission of SXT's NSR, the
assessment rate to which SXT's shipments will be subject will not be
affected by this review. The Department, however, initiated an
administrative review of the AD order on passenger tires from the PRC
covering numerous exporters for the period of January 27, 2015, through
July 31, 2016, which encompasses the period covered by this NSR.\13\
Therefore, if the Department proceeds to a final rescission, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to
suspend subject merchandise exported by SXT and entered into the United
States during the period August 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016,
until CBP receives instructions relating to the abovementioned
administrative review of this order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 71061, 71065 (October 14, 2016)
(Administrative Review Initiation Notice). Although SXT is not
listed in the Administrative Review Initiation Notice, the company
subsequently applied for a separate rate. See Letter from SXT,
``Administrative Review of Antidumping Duty Order on Passenger
Vehicle and Light Truck Tires from China; Application for Separate
Rate,'' November 14, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Department does not proceed to a final rescission of this
NSR, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate based on the final results of this review. In
accordance with the Department's assessment practice in non-market
economy proceedings, however, the Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries that were not reported in SXT's U.S. sales database
at the PRC-wide rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective upon publication of the final rescission or the final
results of this NSR, the Department will instruct CBP to discontinue
the option of posting bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for
entries of SXT's subject merchandise. If the Department proceeds to a
final rescission of this NSR, the cash deposit rate for SXT will
continue to be the PRC-wide rate because the Department will not have
determined an individual dumping margin for SXT. If the Department
issues final results for this NSR, the Department will instruct CBP to
collect cash deposits, effective upon publication of the final results,
at the rates established therein.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 771(i)(1) of the Act.
