Certain on-the-road steel wheels with a nominal wheel diameter of 22.5 inches and 24.5 inches are generally for Class 6, 7, and 8 commercial vehicles (as classified by the Federal Highway Administration Gross Vehicle Weight Rating system), including tractors, semi-trailers, dump trucks, garbage trucks, concrete mixers, and buses, and are the current standard wheel diameters for such applications. The standard widths of certain on-theroad steel wheels are 7.5 inches, 8.25 inches, and 9.0 inches, but all certain on-the-road steel wheels, regardless of width, are covered by the scope. While 22.5 inches and 24.5 inches are standard wheel sizes used by Class 6, 7, and 8 commercial vehicles, the scope covers sizes that may be adopted in the future for Class 6, 7, and 8 commercial vehicles. The scope includes certain on-theroad steel wheels with either a ‘‘hubpiloted’’ or ‘‘stud- piloted’’ mounting configuration, and includes rims and discs for such wheels, whether imported as an assembly or separately. The scope includes certain on the road steel wheels, discs, and rims, of carbon and/ or alloy steel composition, whether cladded or not cladded, whether finished or not finished, and whether coated or uncoated. All on-the-road wheels sold in the United States are subject to the requirements of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and bear markings, such as the ‘‘DOT’’ symbol, indicating compliance with applicable motor vehicle standards. See 49 CFR 571.120. The scope includes certain on-the-road steel wheels imported with or without the required markings. Certain on-theroad steel wheels imported as an assembly with a tire mounted on the wheel and/or with a valve stem attached are included. However, if the certain onFR 65314, (August 9, 2024); see also Certain Steel Wheels from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order, 89 FR 65319 (August 9, 2024). 5 See Steel Wheels from China; Determinations, 89 FR 88061 (November 6, 2024). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:17 Nov 15, 2024 Jkt 265001 the-road steel wheel is imported as an assembly with a tire mounted on the wheel and/or with a valve stem attached, the certain on-the-road steel wheel is covered by the scope, but the tire and/or valve stem is not covered by the scope. The scope includes rims and discs that have been further processed in a third country, including, but not limited to, the welding and painting of rims and discs from China to form a steel wheel, or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the proceeding if performed in China. Excluded from the scope are: (1) Steel wheels for tube-type tires that require a removable side ring; (2) Aluminum wheels; (3) Wheels where steel represents less than fifty percent of the product by weight; and (4) Steel wheels that do not meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requirements, other than the rim marking requirements found in 49 CFR 571.120S5.2. Imports of the subject merchandise are currently classified under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 8708.70.4530, 8708.70.4560, 8708.70.6030, 8708.70.6060, and 8716.90.5059. Merchandise meeting the scope description may also enter under the following HTSUS subheadings: 4011.20.1015, 4011.20.5020, and 8708.99.4850. While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the Orders is dispositive. Continuation of the Orders As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping, countervailable subsidies, 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 Orders. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and CVD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the continuation of these Orders is November 6, 2024. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next sunset review of these Orders no later than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of the last determination by the ITC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 3, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD and CVD orders on cast iron soil pipe from China.1 On April 1, 2024, the ITC instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3 the first sunset reviews of the AD Order and the CVD Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the AD Order and CVD Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping and net countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail should the AD Order 4 and CVD Order 5 be revoked. On October 24, 2024, the ITC published its determinations, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the AD Order and CVD Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.6 1 See Cast Iron Soil Pipe from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 84 FR 19035 (May 3, 2019) (AD Order); see also Cast Iron Soil Pipe from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 84 FR 19039 (May 3, 2019) (CVD Order) (collectively, Orders). 2 See Cast Iron Soil Pipe from China; Institution of Five-Year Reviews, 89 FR 22448 (April 1, 2024). 3 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 89 FR 22373 (April 1, 2024). 4 See Cast Iron Soil Pipe from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited First Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 89 FR 64871 (August 8, 2024). 5 See Cast Iron Soil Pipe from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited First Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order, 89 FR 64874 (August 8, 2024). 6 See Cast Iron Soil Pipe from China Determinations, 89 FR 84933 (October 24, 2024).
