SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
the purposes of these final results,
Commerce has made no changes to the
Preliminary Results.
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary
Results of this administrative review on
August 23, 2019.1 We invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results; however, no interested party
submitted comments.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the POR from
September 1, 2017 through August 31,
2018:
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,
4011.20.50.50, 4011.61.00.00,
4011.62.00.00, 4011.63.00.00,
4011.69.00.00, 4011.92.00.00,
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.2
Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, Commerce
determined that information placed on
the record by Zhongwei and Qingdao
Honghua Tyre Factory (Honghua)
demonstrates that these companies are
entitled to separate rate status,3 which
we preliminarily granted.4 We received
no comments since the issuance of the
Preliminary Results that provide a basis
for reconsidering the determination
with respect to the separate rate status
of these entities. Therefore, for the final
results, we continue to find that
Zhongwei and Honghua are eligible for
a separate rate.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As noted above, we received no
comments in response to the
Preliminary Results. Accordingly, for

Commerce’s policy regarding
conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.5 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
China-wide entity. Because no party
requested a review of the China-wide
entity in this review, and we did not
self-initiate a review, the entity is not
under review and the entity’s rate is not
subject to change (i.e., 105.31 percent).6
Where the rates for the individually
examined companies are all zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts
available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act)
provides that Commerce may use ‘‘any
reasonable method’’ to establish the allothers rate. As the margin calculated for
the mandatory respondent, Zhongwei, is
zero, we assigned Honghua, the sole
separate-rate respondent not selected for
individual examination in this review, a
separate rate margin based on
Zhongwei’s weighted-average dumping
margin, which we find to be reasonable
and consistent with practice.7
Disclosure
Commerce normally discloses the
calculations performed regarding these
final results to parties in this proceeding

within five days of the date of
publication of this notice, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,
because no changes were made to the
preliminary calculations, we refer
parties to the preliminary disclosure
calculation memoranda.8
Assessment Rates
Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b). Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review in the Federal
Register.
For any individually examined
respondent whose (estimated) ad
valorem weighted-average dumping
margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of those
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).9 We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate calculated is
not zero or de minimis. Where either the
respondent’s ad valorem weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.10
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because the antidumping duty order
on OTR tires from China was revoked,11
Commerce will not issue cash deposit
instructions at the conclusion of this
administrative review.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under the APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3),
which continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return/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 violation
which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results of administrative review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 19, 2019, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain coldrolled steel flat products (cold-rolled
steel) from the United Kingdom.1 The
administrative review covers one
producer or exporter of the subject
merchandise, Caparo Precision Strip,
Ltd./Liberty Performance Steels Ltd.
(Liberty).2 We gave interested parties an
opportunity to comment on the
Preliminary Results, and we received a
case brief from Liberty.3 We did not
receive any rebuttal briefs.
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B)
and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
antidumping duty order are certain
cold-rolled (cold-reduced), flat-rolled
steel products, whether or not annealed,
painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non-metallic
substances. The products subject to this
review are currently classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) under item
numbers: 7209.15.0000, 7209.16.0030,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this administrative
review on August 23, 2019.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment
on the Preliminary Results; however, no interested party submitted
comments.

(Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum (PDM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order includes new pneumatic tires
designed for off-the-road and off-highway use, subject to certain
exceptions. The subject merchandise is currently classifiable under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings:

the order is dispositive. A full description of the scope of the order
is contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Preliminary Results, PDM at 3-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that information
placed on the record by Zhongwei and Qingdao Honghua Tyre Factory
(Honghua) demonstrates that these companies are entitled to separate
rate status,\3\ which we preliminarily granted.\4\ We received no
comments since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provide a
basis for reconsidering the determination with respect to the separate
rate status of these entities. Therefore, for the final results, we
continue to find that Zhongwei and Honghua are eligible for a separate
rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Zhongwei's March 11, 2019 Section A Questionnaire
Response at 2-14; see also Honghua's Letter, ``Separate Rate
Application: Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires from the

\4\ See Preliminary Results, PDM at 9-13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 changes to the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the POR from September 1, 2017 through August 31,
2018:

Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\5\ Under this policy, the
China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically
requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the China-wide
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in
this review, and we did not self-initiate a review, the entity is not
under review and the entity's rate is not subject to change (i.e.,
105.31 percent).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\6\ The China-wide rate was determined in Certain New Pneumatic
Off-the-Road Tires from the People's Republic of China: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012-2013, 80 FR
20197 (April 15, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the rates for the individually examined companies are all
zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available, section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) provides
that Commerce may use ``any reasonable method'' to establish the all-
others rate. As the margin calculated for the mandatory respondent,
Zhongwei, is zero, we assigned Honghua, the sole separate-rate
respondent not selected for individual examination in this review, a
separate rate margin based on Zhongwei's weighted-average dumping
margin, which we find to be reasonable and consistent with practice.\7\

Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative

Disclosure
Commerce normally discloses the calculations performed regarding
these final results to parties in this proceeding
[[Page 59771]]
within five days of the date of publication of this notice, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because no changes were
made to the preliminary calculations, we refer parties to the
preliminary disclosure calculation memoranda.\8\

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain New Pneumatic Off-
the-Road Tires from the People's Republic of China: Weihei Zhongwei

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of
subject merchandise in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.212(b). Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final
results of this review in the Federal Register.
For any individually examined respondent whose (estimated) ad
valorem weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will calculate importer-
specific ad valorem assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales
and the total entered value of those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\9\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-
specific ad valorem assessment rate calculated is not zero or de
minimis. Where either the respondent's ad valorem weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because the antidumping duty order on OTR tires from China was
revoked,\11\ Commerce will not issue cash deposit instructions at the
conclusion of this administrative review.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
