Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 43 / Tuesday, March 5, 2019 / Notices
ITC is scheduled to make its final
determination concerning injury within
45 days of publication of Commerce’s
final determination. If both Commerce’s
and the ITC’s final determinations are
affirmative, Commerce will issue an AD
order. However, as indicated above, if
Commerce and producers/exporters
accounting for substantially all imports
of fresh tomatoes from Mexico sign a
new suspension agreement, following
the notice and comment period
provided in accordance with section
734(c) of the Act, the resumed
investigation will be suspended.
Suspension of Liquidation
If Commerce terminates the 2013
Agreement and resumes the suspended
AD investigation as described above,
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend
liquidation of entries of fresh tomatoes
from Mexico that are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the effective
date of the termination of the 2013
Agreement. CBP shall require AD cash
deposits or bonds for entries of the
subject merchandise based on the
preliminary dumping margins, which
range from 4.16 to 188.45 percent.29
Administrative Protective Order Access
and Applicable Regulations
The following requirements will
apply if and during such time as the
suspended investigation is resumed.
Because of the significant changes made
to the administrative protective order
(APO) process since initiation of the
investigation in 1996, Commerce will
issue a new APO for any resumed
investigation that will supersede the
previously issued firm-specific APOs.
Those authorized applicants that were
granted APOs during the original
investigation, as indicated in the most
recent APO service list on Commerce’s
website, will continue to have access to
business proprietary information under
APO. Any new APO applications or
necessary amendments for changes in
staff under the pre-existing APOs
should be submitted promptly, and in
accordance with Commerce’s
regulations currently in effect.30
In addition, because of the significant
changes made to Commerce’s filing and
certification requirements since the
investigation, including electronic
filing, Commerce intends to apply its
current regulations and practices with
regard to filing and certification, should
the AD investigation be resumed.31
However, with respect to all other
procedures for the conduct of any
resumed investigation generally,
including any possible suspension
thereof, Commerce’s regulations in
effect in 1996 shall govern.32
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with section
733(f) and 734(i) of the Act.

Background
Commerce published the Preliminary
Results of this administrative review on
certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires
(OTR Tires) from the People’s Republic
of China (China) on October 11, 2018.1
We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results;
1 See Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires
from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review; 2016–2017, 83 FR 51439 (October 11, 2018)

however, no interested party submitted
comments. For a discussion of events
subsequent to the Preliminary Results,
see Zhongwei’s Analysis
Memorandum.2
Commerce exercised its discretion to
toll all deadlines affected by the partial
federal government closure from
December 22, 2018, through the
resumption of operations on January 29,
2019.3 If the new deadline falls on a
non-business day, in accordance with
Commerce’s practice, the deadline will
become the next business day. The
revised deadline for the final results
decision is now March 20, 2019.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order includes new pneumatic tires
designed for off-the-road and offhighway use, subject to certain
exceptions. The subject merchandise is
currently classifiable under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) subheadings: 4011.20.10.25,
4011.20.10.35, 4011.20.50.30,

4011.93.40.00, 4011.93.80.00,
4011.94.40.00, and 4011.94.80.00. The
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes
only; the written product description of
the scope of the order is dispositive. A
full description of the scope of the order
is contained in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.4
Separate Rate
In our Preliminary Results, we found
that information placed on the record by
Zhongwei demonstrates that it is
entitled to separate rate status, which
we preliminarily granted. We received
no information since the issuance of the
Preliminary Results that provides a basis
for reconsidering the determination
with respect to the separate rate status
of this entity. Therefore, for the final
results, we continue to find that
Zhongwei is eligible for a separate rate.

the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain New

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As noted above, we received no
comments in response to the
Preliminary Results. Accordingly, for
the purposes of these final results,
Commerce has made no substantive
changes to the Preliminary Results.
However, subsequent to the issuance of
the Preliminary Results Commerce
became aware of certain ministerial
errors made with respect to the
preliminary margin calculation for
Zhongwei. We notified parties of these
specific ministerial errors, and the
adjustments we intended to make to the
preliminary margin calculation to
correct for these errors, in a
memorandum to the file on October 18,
2018.5 The October 18, 2018,
memorandum also established the
briefing schedule for this administrative
review and invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results,
including the intended changes
identified therein, by November 12,
2018. As no interested party to this
proceeding commented on the
Preliminary Results, or the October 18,
2018 memorandum, we have
incorporated the corrections to the selfidentified ministerial errors detailed in
that memorandum in calculating the
final weighted-average margin for
Zhongwei for these final results.6
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the POR from
September 1, 2016, through August 31,
2017:
