Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs are addressed in the
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted
by this notice.8 The issues are identified
in Appendix I to this notice. The Issues
and 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 in the Central
Records Unit, room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet at
https://trade.gov/enforcement/frn/
index.html. The signed Issues and
Decision Memorandum and electronic
versions of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
preliminarily determined that Federal
Tire (Jiangxi), Ltd. and Highpoint
Trading, Ltd. each had no shipments
during the POR.9 As we have not
received any information to contradict
our preliminary finding, we determine
that these entities did not have any
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR. We will issue
appropriate instructions that are
consistent with our ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ clarification, for these final
results.10
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received and the record, we
made certain changes to the Preliminary
Results. Specifically, we have made
adjustments to the calculation of the
antidumping margin for Junhong; 11 and
granted a separate rate to certain
additional companies.12
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we found
that evidence provided by mandatory
respondent, Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd.
(Junhong), as well as by other
companies, supported finding an
absence of both de jure and de facto
government control, and, therefore, we
preliminarily granted a separate rate to
each of these companies.13 We received
no information since the issuance of the
Preliminary Results that provides a basis
for reconsidering these determinations
with respect to the separate rate status
of these exporters. Therefore, for the
final results, we continue to find that
these entities are eligible for separate
rates.
In addition, Commerce listed BC Tyre
Group Limited/Best Choice
International Trade Co., Limited, Crown
International Corporation, Hankook Tire
China Co., Ltd., and Hong Kong
Tiancheng Investment & Trading Co.,
Limited as not qualifying for separate
rate status in the Preliminary Results.14
As discussed in more detail in the
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum and/or the Final Separate
Rate Memorandum, we find that these
entities are eligible for separate rates
and Appendix II below has been revised
for these final results.
Further, Commerce continues to find
that certain entities failed to
demonstrate an absence of de jure and/
or de facto government control, and,
thus, are not eligible for separate rates.
A list of entities that are not entitled to
separate rate status for this
administrative review are included in
Appendix 2 of this notice.
Adjustments for Export Subsidies and
Double-Remedies
Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
Commerce has adjusted Junhong’s U.S.
price for export subsidies. In addition,
pursuant to sections 777A(f)(1)(A)–(C)
of the Act, Commerce has adjusted
Junhong’s U.S. price for domestic
subsidies passed through for these final
results. Since Junhong’s antidumping
duty rate is assigned to the nonexamined exporters which qualify for a
separate rate, the export subsidy and
double-remedy adjustments are also
reflected in their rates.
Final Results of Review
Commerce finds that the following
weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the POR:

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
has determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. Commerce intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of the final results of this administrative
review. For each individually examined
respondent in this review whose
weighted-average dumping margin in
the final results of review is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
Commerce intends to calculate
importer-specific assessment rates, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).15
Where the respondent reported reliable
entered values, Commerce intends to
calculate importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates by aggregating the
amount of dumping calculated for all
U.S. sales to the importer, and dividing
this amount by the total entered value
of the sales to the importer.16 Where the
importer did not report entered values,
Commerce intends to calculate an
importer-specific assessment rate by
dividing the amount of dumping for
reviewed sales to the importer by the
total sales quantity associated with
those transactions. Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is
not zero or de minimis, Commerce will
instruct CBP to collect the appropriate
duties at the time of liquidation. Where
either the respondent’s weighted
average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.17 We
intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries containing subject merchandise

exported by the China-wide entity at the
China-wide rate.
Pursuant to Commerce practice, for
entries that were not reported in the
U.S. sales database submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the rate
for the China-wide entity.18
Additionally, if Commerce determines
that an exporter under review had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered
under that exporter’s CBP case number
will be liquidated at the rate for the
China-wide entity.
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results
of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
POR entries, and for future deposits of
estimated antidumping duties, where
applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to
require a cash deposit for antidumping
duties equal to the weighted-average
amount by which NV exceeds U.S.
price. The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For the exporters listed above,
the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed China and non- China
exporters not listed above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) for all China exporters of subject
merchandise which have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76

the cash deposit rate will be the rate for
the China-wide entity (i.e., 76.46
percent) 19 and (4) for all non-China
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the China exporter that
supplied that non- China exporter.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
and/or countervailing duties has
occurred, and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties and/or an increase in the amount
of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY:
Background
The Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.)
prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of marine
mammals, with certain exceptions.
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA direct the Secretary of
Commerce (as delegated to NMFS) to
allow, upon request, the incidental, but
not intentional, taking of small numbers
of marine mammals by U.S. citizens
who engage in a specified activity (other
than commercial fishing) within a
specified geographical region if certain
findings are made and either regulations
are issued or, if the taking is limited to
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
harassment, a notice of a proposed
incidental take authorization is
provided to the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s) and will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
taking for subsistence uses (where
relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe
the permissible methods of taking and
other ‘‘means of effecting the least
practicable adverse impact’’ on the
affected species or stocks and their
habitat, paying particular attention to
rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of
similar significance, and on the
availability of such species or stocks for
taking for certain subsistence uses
(referred to here as ‘‘mitigation
measures’’). Monitoring and reporting of
such takings are also required. The
meaning of key terms such as ‘‘take,’’
‘‘harassment,’’ and ‘‘negligible impact’’
can be found in section 3 of the MMPA
(16 U.S.C. 1362) and the agency’s
regulations at 50 CFR 216.103.
NMFS’ regulations implementing the
MMPA at 50 CFR 216.107(e) indicate
that IHAs may be renewed for
additional periods of time not to exceed
one year for each reauthorization. In the
notice of proposed IHA for the initial
authorization, NMFS described the
circumstances under which we would
consider issuing a Renewal for this
activity, and requested public comment
on a potential Renewal IHA under those
circumstances. Specifically, on a caseby-case basis, NMFS may issue a oneyear IHA Renewal when (1) another year
of identical or nearly identical activities
as described in the Specified Activities
section is planned or (2) the activities
would not be completed by the time the
IHA expires and a second IHA would
allow for completion of the activities
beyond that described in the Dates and
Duration section of the initial IHA. All
of the following conditions must be met
in order to issue a Renewal:
• A request for Renewal is received
no later than 60 days prior to expiration
of the current IHA.
• The request for Renewal must
include the following:
(1) An explanation that the activities
to be conducted beyond the initial dates
either are identical to the previously
analyzed activities or include changes
so minor (e.g., reduction in pile size)
that the changes do not affect the
previous analyses, take estimates, or
mitigation and monitoring
requirements; and
(2) A preliminary monitoring report
showing the results of the required
monitoring to date and an explanation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce preliminarily determined that
Federal Tire (Jiangxi), Ltd. and Highpoint Trading, Ltd. each had no
shipments during the POR.\9\ As we have not received any information to
contradict our preliminary finding, we determine that these entities
did not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. We
will issue appropriate instructions that are consistent with our
``automatic assessment'' clarification, for these final results.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Preliminary Results 83 FR 45893, 45894.

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011)
(Assessment Notice); see also ``Assessment Rates'' section of this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received and the record, we
made certain changes to the Preliminary Results. Specifically, we have
made adjustments to the calculation of the antidumping margin for
Junhong; \11\ and granted a separate rate to certain additional
companies.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at comments 5 and 6; and
Memorandum, ``Administrative Review of Certain Passenger Vehicle and
Light Truck Tires from the People's Republic of China: Final
Analysis Memorandum for Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd.,'' dated
concurrently with the instant memorandum (Junhong Final Calculation
Memorandum).
\12\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at comment 7, see also
Memorandum, ``Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain
Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires from the People's Republic
of China: Final Separate Rate Status,'' dated concurrently with the
instant memorandum (Final Separate Rate Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we found that evidence provided by
mandatory respondent, Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd. (Junhong), as well as
by other companies, supported finding an absence of both de jure and de
facto government control, and, therefore, we preliminarily granted a
separate rate to each of these companies.\13\ We received no
information since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provides
a basis for reconsidering these determinations with respect to the
separate rate status of these exporters. Therefore, for the final
results, we continue to find that these entities are eligible for
separate rates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Preliminary Results 83 FR 45893, 45895.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, Commerce listed BC Tyre Group Limited/Best Choice
International Trade Co., Limited, Crown International Corporation,
Hankook Tire China Co., Ltd., and Hong Kong Tiancheng Investment &
Trading Co., Limited as not qualifying for separate rate status in the
Preliminary Results.\14\ As discussed in more detail in the
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum and/or the Final Separate
Rate Memorandum, we find that these entities are eligible for separate
rates and Appendix II below has been revised for these final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ Id. at 45897.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further, Commerce continues to find that certain entities failed to
demonstrate an absence of de jure and/or de facto government control,
and, thus, are not eligible for separate rates. A list of entities that
are not entitled to separate rate status for this administrative review
are included in Appendix 2 of this notice.
Adjustments for Export Subsidies and Double-Remedies
Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), Commerce has adjusted Junhong's U.S. price for
export subsidies. In addition, pursuant to sections 777A(f)(1)(A)-(C)
of the Act, Commerce has adjusted Junhong's U.S. price for domestic
subsidies passed through for these final results. Since Junhong's
antidumping duty rate is assigned to the non-examined exporters which
qualify for a separate rate, the export subsidy and double-remedy
adjustments are also reflected in their rates.
Final Results of Review
Commerce finds that the following weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the POR:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter dumping margin

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly
to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this
administrative review. For each individually examined respondent in
this review whose weighted-average dumping margin in the final results
of review is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\15\ Where the respondent reported
reliable entered values, Commerce intends to calculate importer-
specific ad valorem assessment rates by aggregating the amount of
dumping calculated for all U.S. sales to the importer, and dividing
this amount by the total entered value of the sales to the
importer.\16\ Where the importer did not report entered values,
Commerce intends to calculate an importer-specific assessment rate by
dividing the amount of dumping for reviewed sales to the importer by
the total sales quantity associated with those transactions. Where an
importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the
time of liquidation. Where either the respondent's weighted average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.\17\ We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing
subject merchandise exported by the China-wide entity at the China-wide
rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification).
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\17\ See Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Commerce practice, for entries that were not reported
in the U.S. sales database submitted by an exporter individually
examined during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
such entries at the rate for the China-wide entity.\18\ Additionally,
if Commerce determines that an exporter under review had no shipments
of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under
that exporter's CBP case number will be liquidated at the rate for the
China-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full
discussion of this practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on POR entries, and for future deposits of estimated
antidumping duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit for
antidumping duties equal to the weighted-average amount by which NV
exceeds U.S. price. The following cash deposit requirements will be
effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative
review for shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication
date of this notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) For the exporters listed above, the cash deposit rate will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results
of this review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed China and
non- China exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise which have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 76.46 percent) \19\ and (4)
for all non-China exporters of subject merchandise that have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the China exporter that supplied that non- China
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties has occurred, and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties and/or an increase in the amount of
antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
