Truck and bus tires are covered whether or not they are accompanied by other parts, e.g., a wheel, rim, axle parts, bolts, nuts, etc. Truck and bus tires that enter attached to a vehicle are not covered by the scope. Specifically excluded from the scope are the following types of tires: (1) pneumatic tires, of rubber, that are not new, including recycled and retreaded tires; (2) non-pneumatic tires, such as solid rubber tires; and (3) tires that exhibit each of the following physical characteristics: (a) the designation ‘‘MH’’ is molded into the tire’s sidewall as part of the size designation; (b) the tire incorporates a warning, prominently molded on the sidewall, that the tire is for ‘‘Mobile Home Use Only;’’ and (c) the tire is of bias construction (also known as non-radial construction) as PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 102113 evidenced by the fact that the construction code included in the size designation molded into the tire’s sidewall is not the letter ‘‘R.’’ The subject merchandise is currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 4011.20.1015 and 4011.20.5020.

NOAA has, or is given, authority under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), annual appropriations or other authorities, to issue funds to coastal states, localities or other recipients for planning, conservation, acquisition, protection, restoration, or construction projects. The required information enables NOAA to implement the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CZMA section 307A), under its current or future authorization, and facilitate the review of similar projects under different, but related, authorities, including the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (CZMA section 315) Land Acquisition and Construction program, the Coastal Zone Management Program’s low-cost acquisition and construction program (CZMA section 306A), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, or other authorities. This collection covers the development of state coastal land conservation plans, and collection of information specifically needed for applying for and carrying out land acquisition, restoration and construction projects, such as: appraisals, property surveys and site plans, legal documentation such as deeds, easements and/or plats, and information needed for environmental compliance reviews. Such information is collected from project applicants or subrecipients, which are typically state or local government agencies, but may also include nongovernmental or Tribal organizations. The information will be used in evaluating project proposals, reviewing the location and impact of proposed activities, documenting compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and other applicable statutes, and conducting due diligence on market value, title encumbrances, property boundaries, proper recording of legal instruments. No changes are proposed to the collection. E:\FR\FM\17DEN1.SGM 17DEN1

    \1\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Petitions for the Imposition of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duties,'' dated November 21, 2024 
(Petitions).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Determination of Industry Support for the Petitions

    Sections 702(b)(1) and 732(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), require that a petition be filed by or on behalf of 
the domestic industry. To determine that the petition has been filed by 
or on behalf of the industry, sections 702(c)(4)(A) and 732(c)(4)(A) of 
the Act require that the domestic producers or workers who support the 
petition account for: (i) at least 25 percent of the total production 
of the domestic like product; and (ii) more than 50 percent of the 
production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the 
industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the petition. 
Moreover, sections 702(c)(4)(D) and 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provide 
that, if the petition does not establish support of domestic producers 
or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production 
of the domestic like product, Commerce shall: (i) poll the industry or 
rely on other information in order to determine if there is support for 
the petition, as required by subparagraph (A); or (ii) if there is a 
large number of producers, determine industry support using a 
statistically valid sampling method to poll the industry.

Extension of Time

    Sections 702(c)(1)(A) and 732(c)(1)(A) of the Act provide that 
within 20 days of the filing of an antidumping or countervailing duty 
petition, Commerce will determine, inter alia, whether the petition has 
been filed by or on behalf of the U.S. industry producing the domestic 
like product. Sections 702(c)(1)(B) and 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act provide 
that the deadline for the initiation determination, in exceptional 
circumstances, may be extended by 20 days in any case in which Commerce 
must ``poll or otherwise determine support for the petition by the 
industry.'' Because it is not clear from the Petitions whether the 
industry support criteria have been met, Commerce has determined it 
would be appropriate in these cases to poll the industry and extend the 
time period for determining whether to initiate the investigations in 
order to further examine the issue of industry support.
    Commerce will need additional time to gather and analyze additional 
information regarding industry support. Therefore, it is necessary to 
extend the deadline for determining the adequacy of the Petitions for a 
period not to exceed 40 days from the filing of the Petitions. As a 
result, in accordance with sections 702(c)(1)(B) and 732(c)(1)(B) of 
the Act, Commerce's initiation determination will now be due no later 
than December 31, 2024.

International Trade Commission Notification

    Commerce will contact the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) 
and will make this extension notice available to the ITC.
