Certain New Pneumatic Off-The-Road Tires From the People's
Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review; 2015
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) preliminarily
determines that countervailable subsidies are being provided to
producers and exporters of new pneumatic off-the-road tires (OTR Tires)
from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR)
is January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. Interested parties are
invited to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable October 6, 2017.

respectively.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are new pneumatic tires designed
for off-the-road (OTR) and off-highway use. For a full description of
the scope of this order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review of Certain New Pneumatic
Off-The-Road Tires from the People's Republic of China; 2015,''
dated concurrently with this notice (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum) and hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 46755]]
Methodology
On September 4, 2008, the Department issued a countervailing duty
order on new pneumatic tires designed for OTR and off-highway use.\2\
The Department is conducting this administrative review in accordance
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.\3\ For a full description
of the methodology underlying our preliminary conclusions, including
our reliance, in part, on adverse facts otherwise available pursuant to
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the accompanying Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is provided at Appendix I to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires from the
People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 73 FR 51627
(September 4, 2008) (OTR CVD Order).
\3\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Records Unit, Room B8024 of
the main Department of Commerce building. In 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:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy
Company rate
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd./Guizhou Tyre Import & Export Co., Ltd 39.10
Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co. Ltd................................. 91.94
Non-Selected Companies Under Review......................... 39.10
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review
The statute and the Department's regulations do not directly
address the establishment of rates to be applied to companies not
selected for individual examination where the Department limits its
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(e)(2)
of the Act. However, the Department normally determines the rates for
non-selected companies in reviews in a manner that is consistent with
section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation. Section
705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act instructs the Department as a general rule
to calculate an all others rate using the weighted average of the
subsidy rates established for the producers/exporters individually
examined, excluding any zero, de minimis, or rates based entirely on
facts available. In this review, the preliminary subsidy rates
calculated for Guizhou Tyre and its cross-owned affiliates are above de
minimis and are not based entirely on facts available. Therefore, for
the companies for which a review was requested that were not selected
as mandatory company respondents and which we are not finding to be
cross-owned with the mandatory company respondents, we are
preliminarily basing the subsidy rate on the subsidy rate calculated
for Guizhou Tyre. For a list of these non-selected companies, please
see Appendix II to this notice.
Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department will disclose to parties to this proceeding the
calculations performed in reaching the preliminary results within five
days of the date of publication of these preliminary results.\4\
Interested parties may submit written comments (case briefs) within 30
days of publication of the preliminary results and rebuttal comments
(rebuttal briefs) within five days after the time limit for filing case
briefs.\5\ Rebuttal briefs must be limited to issues raised in the case
briefs.\6\ Parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs are requested to
submit with the argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief
summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\7\
