SUMMARY: On January 29, 2021, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment in Shandong Yongtai Group Co., Ltd. v. United States, Consol. Court No. 18–00077, sustaining the Department of Commerce (Commerce)’s first remand results pertaining to the administrative review AGENCY: E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM 21APN1 20660 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 21, 2021 / Notices of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires (passenger tires) from the People’s Republic of China (China) covering the period of review (POR) January 27, 2015, through July 31, 2016. Commerce is notifying the public that the CIT’s final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce’s final results of the administrative review, and that Commerce is amending the final results with respect to the dumping margin assigned to Shandong Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd. and its successor-in-interest Shandong Yongtai Group Co., Ltd. DATES: Applicable February 8, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 16, 2018, Commerce published its Final Results in the 2015– 2016 AD administrative review of passenger tires from China.1 In that proceeding, Commerce granted separate rate status to Shandong Yongtai Group Co., Ltd. (Yongtai Group), but did not grant separate rate status to Shandong Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd. (Yongtai Chemical) because Yongtai Group did not identify any record information that would allow Commerce to determine that Yongtai Chemical merited a separate rate or whether Yongtai Group was the successor-in-interest of Yongtai Chemical.2 Yongtai Group argued that it was the successor-in-interest of Yongtai Chemical and that Commerce should have granted separate status to Yongtai Chemical as well.3 Yongtai Group appealed Commerce’s Final Results. On November 27, 2019, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce to further consider the separate rate status of Yongtai Chemical and/or to consider whether Yongtai Group was the successor-in-interest to Yongtai Chemical.4 Following the CIT’s Passenger Tires AR1 Remand Order, Commerce determined it was appropriate to reopen the record for this remand to solicit information from Yongtai Group to determine whether it is the successor-in-interest to Yongtai Chemical. On January 28, 2020, Commerce issued a supplemental questionnaire to Yongtai Group soliciting information needed to perform our successor-in-interest analysis.5 On February 11, 2020, Yongtai Group filed its response to Commerce’s questionnaire.6 In its final remand redetermination, issued in March 2020, Commerce determined, after reconsidering the record evidence submitted by Yongtai Group in its separate rate application and in the Yongtai Group Remand SQR, that there was sufficient information on the record to find Yongtai Group to be the successor-in-interest to Yongtai Chemical and grant separate rate status to Yongtai Chemical.7 The CIT sustained Commerce’s final redetermination and severed this action from the consolidated action with Qingdao Sentury Co. Ltd. v. United States, Court No. 18–00079 and Pirelli Tyre Co. Ltd. v. United States, Court No. 18–00080.8 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,9 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,10 the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Commerce determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s January 29, 2021, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce’s Final Results. Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its Final Results with respect to Yongtai Group and Yongtai Chemical as follows: Exporter or producer Shandong Yongtai Group Co., Ltd. formerly known as Shandong Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd ............................. Estimated weighted-average dumping margin from final determination (percent) Estimated weighted-average dumping margin for remand redetermination (percent) * 2.96 khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES * Only Yongtai Group received a separate rate of 2.96 percent in the Final Results. Cash Deposit Requirements Liquidation of Suspended Entries Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Previously, the CIT enjoined Commerce from liquidating entries that were: (1) Exported by Shandong Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd.; (2) the subject of the United States Department of Commerce’s final determination in certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from the PRC, 83 FR 11,690 (Mar. 16, 2018); (3) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after: (a) January 27, 2015, up to and including July 25, 2015; and (b) August 6, 2015, up to and including July 31, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 16, 2018, Commerce published its Final Results in the 
2015-2016 AD administrative review of passenger tires from China.\1\ In 
that proceeding, Commerce granted separate rate status to Shandong 
Yongtai Group Co., Ltd. (Yongtai Group), but did not grant separate 
rate status to Shandong Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd. (Yongtai Chemical) 
because Yongtai Group did not identify any record information that 
would allow Commerce to determine that Yongtai Chemical merited a 
separate rate or whether Yongtai Group was the successor-in-interest of 
Yongtai Chemical.\2\ Yongtai Group argued that it was the successor-in-
interest of Yongtai Chemical and that Commerce should have granted 
separate status to Yongtai Chemical as well.\3\

People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty

Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM).

    Yongtai Group appealed Commerce's Final Results. On November 27, 
2019, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce to further 
consider the separate rate status of Yongtai Chemical and/or to 
consider whether Yongtai Group was the successor-in-interest to Yongtai 
Chemical.\4\ Following the CIT's Passenger Tires AR1 Remand Order, 
Commerce determined it was appropriate to reopen the record for this 
remand to solicit information from Yongtai Group to determine whether 
it is the successor-in-interest to Yongtai Chemical. On January 28, 
2020, Commerce issued a supplemental questionnaire to Yongtai Group 
soliciting information needed to perform our successor-in-interest 
analysis.\5\ On February 11, 2020, Yongtai Group filed its response to 
Commerce's questionnaire.\6\

11, 2020 (Yongtai Group Remand SQR).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its final remand redetermination, issued in March 2020, Commerce 
determined, after reconsidering the record evidence submitted by 
Yongtai Group in its separate rate application and in the Yongtai Group 
Remand SQR, that there was sufficient information on the record to find 
Yongtai Group to be the successor-in-interest to Yongtai Chemical and 
grant separate rate status to Yongtai Chemical.\7\ The CIT sustained 
Commerce's final redetermination and severed this action from the 
consolidated action with Qingdao Sentury Co. Ltd. v. United States, 
Court No. 18-00079 and Pirelli Tyre Co. Ltd. v. United States, Court 
No. 18-00080.\8\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken,\9\ as clarified by Diamond 
Sawblades,\10\ the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, 
pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of court decision 
that is not ``in harmony'' with a Commerce determination and must 
suspend liquidation of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. 
The CIT's January 29, 2021, judgment constitutes a final decision of 
the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce's Final Results. Thus, 
this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements 
of Timken.
