and crystals) with the following primary
magnesium contents:
(1) Products that contain at least
99.95% primary magnesium, by weight
(generally referred to as ‘‘ultra pure’’
magnesium);
(2) Products that contain less than
99.95% but not less than 99.8% primary
magnesium, by weight (generally
referred to as ‘‘pure’’ magnesium); and
(3) Products that contain 50% or
greater, but less than 99.8% primary
magnesium, by weight, and that do not
conform to ASTM specifications for
alloy magnesium (generally referred to
as ‘‘off-specification pure’’ magnesium).
‘‘Off-specification pure’’ magnesium
is pure primary magnesium containing
magnesium scrap, secondary
magnesium, oxidized magnesium or
impurities (whether or not intentionally
added) that cause the primary
magnesium content to fall below 99.8%
by weight. It generally does not contain,
individually or in combination, 1.5% or
more, by weight, of the following
alloying elements: aluminum,
manganese, zinc, silicon, thorium,
zirconium and rare earths.
Excluded from the scope of the Order
are alloy primary magnesium (that
meets specifications for alloy
magnesium), primary magnesium
anodes, granular primary magnesium
(including turnings, chips and powder)
having a maximum physical dimension
(i.e., length or diameter) of one inch or
less, secondary magnesium (which has
pure primary magnesium content of less
than 50% by weight), and remelted
magnesium whose pure primary
magnesium content is less than 50% by
weight.
Pure magnesium products covered by
the Order are currently classifiable
under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
8104.11.00, 8104.19.00, 8104.20.00,
8104.30.00, 8104.90.00, 3824.90.11,
3824.90.19 and 9817.00.90. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the Order. U.S. Customs
and Border Protection will continue to
collect AD cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports
of subject merchandise.

The effective date of continuation of
the Order will be the date of publication
in the Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce intends

Administrative Protective Order
Background
On March 6, 2017, Commerce
published the AD and CVD orders on
off-road tires from India.1 On February
1, 2022, Commerce published the notice
of initiation of the first sunset reviews
of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).2 As a result of its reviews,
Commerce determined that revocation
of the AD order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and that revocation of the CVD order
would likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of countervailable
subsidies.3 Therefore, Commerce
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
dumping margins and net
countervailable subsidy rates likely to
prevail should the Orders be revoked,
pursuant to sections 752(b) and (c) of
the Act. On May 2, 2023, the ITC
published its determinations, pursuant
to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act,
that revocation of the Orders would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.4
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction or conversion to
judicial protective order of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which may be subject to sanctions.
Notification to Interested Parties
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with sections
751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act, and
published in accordance with section
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(f)(4).

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) have determined that revocation of
the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on
certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires (off-road tires) from India
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, net
countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the
United States. Therefore, Commerce is publishing a notice of
continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 6, 2017, Commerce published the AD and CVD orders on off-

revocation of the AD order would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD order would likely
lead to the continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies.\3\
Therefore, Commerce notified the ITC of the magnitude of the dumping
margins and net countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail should
the Orders be revoked, pursuant to sections 752(b) and (c) of the Act.
On May 2, 2023, the ITC published its determinations, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the Orders
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to
an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.\4\

In addition, all tires that lack any of the prefixes or suffixes

regardless of their intended use, as long as the tire is of a size that
is among the numerical size designations listed in the following
sections of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book, as updated
annually, unless the tire falls within one of the specific exclusions
set forth below. The sections of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book
listing numerical size designations of covered certain off-road tires
include:
The table of mining and logging tires included in the section on
Truck-Bus tires;
The entire section on Off-the-Road tires;
The entire section on Agricultural tires; and

Off-the-Road and Counterbalanced Lift Truck (Smooth Floors
Only);
Aerial Lift and Mobile Crane; and
Utility Vehicle and Lawn and Garden Tractor.
Certain off-road tires, whether or not mounted on wheels or rims,
are included in the scope. However, if a subject tire is imported
mounted on a wheel or rim, only the tire is covered by the scope.
Subject merchandise includes certain off-road tires produced in the
subject countries whether mounted on wheels or rims in a subject
country or in a third country. Certain off-road tires are covered
whether or not they are accompanied by other parts, e.g., a wheel, rim,
axle parts, bolts, nuts, etc. Certain off-road tires that enter
attached to a vehicle are not covered by the scope.
Specifically excluded from the scope are passenger vehicle and
light truck tires, racing tires, mobile home tires, motorcycle tires,
all-terrain vehicle tires, bicycle tires, on-road or on highway trailer
tires, and truck and bus tires. Such tires generally have in common
that the symbol ``DOT'' must appear on the sidewall, certifying that
the tire conforms to applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Such
excluded tires may also have the following prefixes and suffixes
included as part of the size designation on their sidewalls:
Prefix letter designations:
AT--Identifies a tire intended for service on All-Terrain
Vehicles;

MH--Identifies tires for Mobile Homes;

15'' tapered rims used on trucks, buses, and other vehicles. This
suffix is intended to differentiate among tires for light trucks,
and other vehicles or other services, which use a similar
designation.

LT--Identifies light truck tires for service on trucks, buses,
trailers, and multipurpose passenger vehicles used in nominal

and used tires; non-pneumatic tires, including solid rubber tires;
aircraft tires; and turf, lawn and garden, and golf tires. Also
excluded from the scope are mining and construction tires that have a
rim diameter equal to or exceeding 39 inches. Such tires may be
distinguished from other tires of similar size by the number of plies
that the construction and mining tires contain (minimum of 16) and the
weight of such tires (minimum 1500 pounds).
