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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:04 May 24, 2023 Jkt 259001 33863 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 to initiate the next five-year review of the Order not later than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of continuation. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 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).

Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires From India: Continuation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

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.

DATES: Applicable May 25, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Alexander, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4313.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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\

    The products covered by the scope of the Orders are off-road tires. 
Certain off-road tires are tires with an off-road tire size 
designation. The tires included in the scope may be either tube-type 
\5\ or

tubeless, radial, or non-radial, regardless of whether for original 
equipment manufacturers or the replacement market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ While tube-type tires are subject to the scope of this 
proceeding, tubes and flaps are not subject merchandise and 
therefore are not covered by the scope of this proceeding, 
regardless of the manner in which they are sold (e.g., sold with or 
separately from subject merchandise).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subject tires may have the following prefix or suffix designation,

    All tires marked with any of the prefixes or suffixes listed above 
in their sidewall markings are covered by the scope regardless of their 
intended use.
    In addition, all tires that lack any of the prefixes or suffixes 
listed above in their sidewall markings are included in the scope, 
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

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
