1. This is a correction to message 5229302, dated 08/17/2015 and message 5219304, dated 08/07/2015, to correct information in the header of those messages. Message 5229302 set out to correct message 5219304. 2. The header of both message 5229302 and 5219304 contain incorrect lifting of suspension dates. The lifting of suspension date for both messages should be 08/07/2015, which corresponds with the posting date of message 5219304. Also, the period covered dates in the header of both message 5229302 and 5219304 should reflect the gap period 07/26/2015 through 08/05/2015. Finally, with respects to message 5219304, the period stated in the RE line has an incorrect end date for the gap period. The correct period is 07/26/2015 through 08/05/2015. The header of this instruction reflects these corrections to the extent possible. Below is the fully corrected message. Message 5219304 constitutes notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation (see paragraph 7 below). 3. In accordance with section 733(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, Commerce shall order the suspension of liquidation of entries of merchandise subject to an antidumping duty investigation and shall order the collection of estimated duties for a temporary period (the provisional-measures period). When entries of subject merchandise continue to be suspended after the close of the provisional-measures period, Commerce must instruct CBP to terminate suspension and liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties on such merchandise. 4. On 07/26/2015, the provisional-measures period expired; suspension of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise may have continued. 5. Accordingly, for suspended entries of certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from the People's Republic of China that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period 07/26/2015 through 08/05/2015 (day prior to the ITC final determination), CBP should terminate the suspension of liquidation and liquidate the entries without regard to antidumping duties (i.e., refund all cash deposits). 6. The interest provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, do not apply. 7. Message 5219304 constitutes notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise during the period 07/26/2015 through 08/05/2015. Accordingly, notice of lifting of suspension occurred on 8/7/2015. 8. If there are any questions by the importing public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OVII:TP.) 9. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Sherri L.
