SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 7, 2021, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of
this review and invited comments from
interested parties.1 On December 6,
2021, Commerce extended the deadline
for the final results of this
administrative review until March 4,
2022.2 For a complete description of the
events that occurred since the
Preliminary Results, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.3
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
passenger vehicle and light truck tires
from China. For a complete description
of the scope of this order, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
at https://access.trade.gov/public/
FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from
interested parties, we revised the
calculation of the net countervailable
subsidy rates for Sumitomo Rubber
(Hunan) Co., Ltd. (SRH), Triangle Tyre
Co., Ltd., and the non-selected
respondents. For a discussion of these
issues, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this 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 to be countervailable, we
determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.4 The Issues and Decision
Memorandum contains a full
description of the methodology
underlying Commerce’s conclusions,
including any determination that relied
upon the use of facts otherwise
available, including, adverse facts
available, pursuant to sections 776(a)
and (b) of the Act.

According to the CBP import data,
eight companies subject to this review
did not have reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR for
which liquidation is suspended.8
Further, in response to the Preliminary
Results, no party submitted information
to contradict the information on the
record. Therefore, because there is no
evidence on the record of this segment
of the proceeding to indicate that these
companies had entries, exports, or sales
of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR, we are
rescinding the administrative review
with respect to these companies,
consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
Under Review
There are three companies for which
a review was requested and not
rescinded, and which were not selected
as mandatory respondents. For these
companies, we are applying the rate
calculated for the sole mandatory
respondent, Sumitomo Rubber (Hunan)
Co., Ltd. (Sumitomo Rubber), which is
above de minimis and not based entirely
on facts available. This methodology to
establish the non-selected subsidy rate
is consistent with our practice and uses
section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which
governs the calculation of the all-others
rate in investigations, as guidance.
Final Results of Review
We determine the following net
countervailable subsidy rates for the
POR January 1, 2019, through December
31, 2019:

financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
It is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of a
countervailing duty order, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there
are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for
which liquidation is suspended.\5\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the
countervailing duty assessment rate calculated for the review
period.\6\ Therefore, for an administrative review of a company to be
conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce
can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at
the calculated countervailing duty assessment rate calculated for the
review period.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See, e.g., Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People's
