SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on November 14, 2023. 1 On December 4, 2023, we selected Bridgestone Corporation (Bridgestone) and Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Prinx) as mandatory respondents in this investigation. 2 On February 8, 2024, Commerce postponed the preliminary determination of this investigation until May 14, 2024. 3 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics included VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:14 May 17, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\20MYN1.SGM 20MYN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 43807Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 98 / Monday, May 20, 2024 / Notices hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 5 See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties, Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19, 1997). 6 See Initiation Notice. 7 See Memorandum, ‘‘Scope Comments Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Determination,’’ dated concurrently with this notice (Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum). in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are truck and bus tires from Thailand. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the preamble to Commerce’s regulations,5 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).6 Certain interested parties commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. For a summary of the product coverage comments and rebuttal responses submitted to the record for this preliminary determination, and accompanying discussion and analysis of all comments timely received, see the Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum.7 Commerce is not preliminarily modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See the scope in Appendix I to this notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Constructed export prices have been calculated in accordance with section 772(b) of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Preliminary Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce preliminarily finds that critical circumstances do not exist for Prinx, Bridgestone, and all other exporters and producers of the subject merchandise. For a full description of the methodology and results of Commerce’s critical circumstances analysis, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that in the preliminary determination Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted- average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce preliminarily calculated a zero rate for Prinx. Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts otherwise available is the rate calculated for Bridgestone. Consequently, the preliminary rate calculated for Bridgestone is also the preliminary rate assigned to all other producers and exporters. Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter/producer Weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Bridgestone Corporation ....... 2.35 Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thai- land) Co., Ltd. ................... 0.00 All Others .............................. 2.35 Consistent with section 733(b)(3) of the Act, Commerce disregards de minimis rates and preliminarily determines that individually examined respondents with de minimis rates have not made sales of subject merchandise at LTFV. Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all- others rate, as follows: (1) the cash deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the company- specific estimated weighted-average dumping margins determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise except as explained below; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted- average dumping margin. Because the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for Prinx is zero percent, entries of shipments of subject merchandise from this company will not be subject to suspension of liquidation or cash deposit requirements. In such situations, Commerce applies the exclusion to the provisional measures to the producer/ exporter combination that was examined in the investigation. Accordingly, Commerce is directing CBP not to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise from Prinx. Entries of shipments of subject merchandise from this company in any other producer/exporter combination, or by third parties that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded producer/exporter combination, are subject to the provisional measures at the all others rate. Should the final estimated weighted- average dumping margin be zero or de minimis for the producer/exporter combinations identified above, entries of shipments of subject merchandise from these producer/exporter combinations will be excluded from the potential antidumping duty order. Such exclusions are not applicable to merchandise exported to the United States by these respondents in any other producer/exporter combinations or by third parties that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded producer/exporter combination. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.

Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce will analyze and, if appropriate, correct any timely allegations of significant ministerial errors by amending the preliminary determination. However, consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will not consider incomplete allegations that do not address the significance standard under 19 CFR 351.224(g) following the preliminary determination. Instead, Commerce will address such allegations in the final determination together with issues raised in the case briefs or other written comments. Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Public Comment Case briefs or other written comments for may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Interested parties will be notified of the timeline for the submission of case briefs and written comments related to non-scope issues at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days after the date for filing case briefs.8 Interested parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.9 See the Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum for the case and rebuttal brief deadlines related to scope issues.10 As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an executive summary of their briefs that should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. In this investigation, we instead request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.11 Further, we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that will accompany the final determination in this investigation. We request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the public executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f). 12 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party’s name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. Postponement of Final Determination Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration. On May 9 and 13, 2024, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Prinx and Bridgestone, respectively, requested that Commerce postpone the final determination.13 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination. U.S. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(c). Dated: May 14, 2024.

Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The scope of the investigation covers truck and bus tires. Truck and bus tires are new pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a truck or bus size designation. Truck and bus tires covered by the scope may be tube-type, tubeless, radial, or non-radial (also known as bias construction or bias-ply). Subject tires have, at the time of importation, the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ on the sidewall, certifying that the tire conforms to applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Subject tires may also have one of the following suffixes in their tire size designation, which also appear on the sidewall of the tire: TR—Identifies tires for service on trucks or buses to differentiate them from similarly sized passenger car and light truck tires; and HC—Identifies a 17.5 inch rim diameter code for use on low platform trailers. All tires with a ‘‘TR’’ or ‘‘HC’’ suffix in their size designations are covered by the scope regardless of their intended use.

In addition, all tires that lack one of the above suffix markings are included in the scope, as well as all tires that include any other prefix or suffix in their sidewall markings, are included in the scope, regardless of their intended use, as long as the tire is of a size that fits trucks or busses. Sizes that fit trucks and busses include, but are not limited to, the numerical size designations listed in the ‘‘Truck-Bus’’ section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book, as updated annually. The scope includes all tires that are of a size that fits trucks or busses, unless the tire falls within one of the specific exclusions set out below. Truck and bus 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 truck and bus tires produced in the subject country whether mounted on wheels or rims in the subject country or in a third country. 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 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. Tires meeting the scope description may also enter under the following HTSUS subheadings: 4011.90.1010, 4011.90.1050, 4011.90.2010, 4011.90.2050, 4011.90.8010, 4011.90.8050, 8708.70.4530, 8708.70.4546, 8708.70.4548, 8708.70.4560, 8708.70.6030, 8708.70.6045, 8708.70.6060, and 8716.90.5059.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The Petitions On April 24, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) received antidumping duty (AD) petitions concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells), from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam filed in proper form on behalf of the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee (the petitioner or the Committee). 1 On May 9, 2024, the petitioner filed an amendment to the Petitions, clarifying the identity of the members of the Committee. 2 These AD Petitions were accompanied by countervailing duty (CVD) petitions concerning imports of solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. 3 Between April 26 and May 13, 2024, Commerce requested supplemental information pertaining to certain aspects of the Petitions in supplemental questionnaires. 4 The petitioner responded to Commerce’s supplemental questionnaires between April 30 and May 13, 2024. 5 In accordance with section 732(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the petitioner alleges that imports of solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV) within the meaning of section 731 of the Act, and that imports of such products are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, the solar cells industry in the United States. Consistent with section 732(b)(1) of the Act, the Petitions were accompanied by information reasonably available to the petitioner supporting its allegations.

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–8031. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On February 15, 2013, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD order on large residential washers from Mexico. 1 On April 1, 2024, the ITC instituted, 2 and Commerce initiated, 3 the second sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its review, Commerce determined that revocation of the Order would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail should the Order be revoked. 4 On October 9, 2024, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. 5 Scope of the Order The products covered by the Order are all large residential washers and certain subassemblies thereof from Mexico. For purposes of the order, the term ‘‘large residential washers’’ denotes all automatic clothes washing machines, regardless of the orientation of the rotational axis, except as noted below, with a cabinet width (measured from its widest point) of at least 24.5 inches (62.23 cm) and no more than 32.0 inches (81.28 cm). Also covered are certain subassemblies used in large residential washers, namely: (1) all assembled cabinets designed for use in large residential washers which incorporate, at a minimum: (a) At least three of the six cabinet surfaces; and (b) a bracket; (2) all assembled tubs 6 designed for use in large residential washers which incorporate, at a minimum: (a) a tub; and (b) a seal; (3) all assembled baskets 7 designed for use in large residential washers which incorporate, at a minimum: (a) a side wrapper; 8 (b) a base; and (c) a drive hub; 9 and (4) any combination of the foregoing subassemblies. The products are currently classifiable under subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 8450.20.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 10 Products subject to this Order may also enter under HTSUS subheadings 8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080, 8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to this scope is dispositive.11 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, 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 the continuation of the Order will be October 9, 2024.12 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year review of the Order not later than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary of the date of the last determination by the ITC. Administrative Protective Order (APO) This notice also serves as a final reminder to interested parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. 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).

We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. Bridgestone Corporation (Bridgestone) and Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Prinx) are the mandatory respondents in this investigation. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. 2 The deadline for the final determination is now October 9, 2024. A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final determination, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 3 The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/ public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are truck and bus tires from Thailand. For a full description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments We received no comments from interested parties on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Preliminary Determination. Therefore, we made no changes to the scope of the investigation. Verification As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), in June and July 2024, we conducted verification of the sales information and cost information submitted by Bridgestone and Prinx for use in our final determination. We used standard verification procedures, including an examination of relevant sales and accounting records, and original source documents provided by Bridgestone and Prinx. Analysis of Comments Received The issues raised in comments that were submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice at Appendix II. Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part Commerce preliminarily determined, in accordance with section 733(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1), that critical circumstances did not exist with respect to imports of truck and bus tires exported by Bridgestone, Prinx, and all other companies.4 For the final determination, pursuant to section 735(a)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, we continue to find that critical circumstances do not exist for Prinx and all other companies, but that critical circumstances do exist for Bridgestone. For a full description of the methodology and results of Commerce’s critical circumstances analysis, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination As explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce was unable to verify the accuracy of Bridgestone’s reporting with respect to its sales data. As a consequence, we find that Bridgestone’s reported sales data are unverified and, thus, cannot serve as a reliable basis for calculating an accurate margin for Bridgestone in this investigation. Furthermore, based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at verification, we made changes to Prinx’s dumping margin. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Use of Adverse Facts Available Because Bridgestone’s submitted data could not be verified, we are unable to use its data to calculate an accurate dumping margin for the company. Therefore, for this final determination we find it appropriate to rely on facts available with an adverse inference (AFA) to assign Bridgestone an estimated weighted-average dumping margin, in accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.308, because Bridgestone failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply with our requests for information. In applying AFA, we assigned Bridgestone the margin identified in the Petition, i.e., 48.39 percent.5 Additionally, due to findings at verification related to certain of Prinx’s reported sales expenses, we find it appropriate to rely on AFA, in part, in the calculation of its dumping margin for the final determination. For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters not individually examined shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis margins, and margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. For the final determination of this investigation, Prinx was the only individually examined exporter/ producer for which Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin. Because Prinx’s dumping margin is the only individually calculated dumping margin that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, the estimated weighted- average dumping margin calculated for Prinx is the margin assigned to all other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. Final Determination The final estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Producer or exporter Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Bridgestone Corporation ............. 48.39 Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd ................................... 12.33 All Others .................................... 12.33 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:31 Oct 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\17OCN1.SGM 17OCN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 83638 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 201 / Thursday, October 17, 2024 / Notices with this final determination to interested parties within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the publication of the notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Suspension of Liquidation Because the Preliminary Determination was negative with respect to Prinx, we did not instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I to this notice, from Prinx. In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(C) of the Act, we will now direct CBP to suspend liquidation of all imports of the subject merchandise from Prinx entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, and to require the posting of a cash deposit for such entries of merchandise. With respect to Bridgestone, section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides that, given an affirmative determination of critical circumstances, any suspension of liquidation shall apply to unliquidated entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the later of: (a) the date which is 90 days before the date on which the suspension of liquidation was first ordered; or (b) the date on which notice of initiation of the investigation was published. The Preliminary Determination was affirmative with respect to Bridgestone’s sales at LTFV; however, Commerce preliminarily determined that critical circumstances did not exist for Bridgestone. Accordingly, Commerce ordered the suspension of liquidation for Bridgestone’s entries of subject merchandise from Thailand on May 20, 2024, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. Therefore, as a result of this final affirmative determination of critical circumstances for Bridgestone, pursuant to section 733(e)(2) of the Act, we will now instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise from Bridgestone which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 20, 2024, which is 90 days prior to the publication of the Preliminary Determination. Finally, with respect to all other companies, in accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of subject merchandise from Thailand, as described in Appendix I to this notice, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 20, 2024, the date of publication of Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. These suspension-of- liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), where appropriate, Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all- others rate, as follows: (1) the cash deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the company- specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin determined in this final determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company- specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted- average dumping margin. U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of the final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because Commerce’s final determination is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of truck and bus tires from Thailand, no later than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits posted will be refunded and suspension of liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. Administrative Protective Order (APO) This notice will serve as a final reminder to the parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: October 9, 2024. Scot Fullerton, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The scope of the investigation covers truck and bus tires. Truck and bus tires are new pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a truck or bus size designation. Truck and bus tires covered by the scope may be tube-type, tubeless, radial, or non-radial (also known as bias construction or bias-ply). Subject tires have, at the time of importation, the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ on the sidewall, certifying that the tire conforms to applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Subject tires may also have one of the following suffixes in their tire size designation, which also appear on the sidewall of the tire: TR—Identifies tires for service on trucks or buses to differentiate them from similarly sized passenger car and light truck tires; and HC—Identifies a 17.5 inch rim diameter code for use on low platform trailers. All tires with a ‘‘TR’’ or ‘‘HC’’ suffix in their size designations are covered by the scope regardless of their intended use. In addition, all tires that lack one of the above suffix markings are included in the scope, as well as all tires that include any other prefix or suffix in their sidewall markings, are included in the scope, regardless of their intended use, as long as the tire is of a size that fits trucks or busses. Sizes that fit trucks and busses include, but are not limited to, the numerical size designations listed in the ‘‘Truck-Bus’’ section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book, as updated annually. The scope includes all tires that are of a size that fits trucks or busses, unless the tire falls within one of the specific exclusions set out below. Truck and bus 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 truck and bus tires produced in the subject country whether mounted on wheels or rims in the subject country or in a third country. 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:31 Oct 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\17OCN1.SGM 17OCN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 83639Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 201 / Thursday, October 17, 2024 / Notices 1 See Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results, Partial Rescission, and Intent To Rescind, in Part, of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022–2023, 89 FR 48370 (June 6, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 2 See Wuyi Xilinde’s Case Brief, ‘‘Wuyi Xilinde’s Case Brief,’’ dated July 8, 2024. 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings,’’ dated July 22, 2024. 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Administrative Review of Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders from the People’s Republic of China; 2022–2023,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 5 See Certain Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination and Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders, 86 FR 25839 (May 11, 2021) (Order). 6 See Memorandum, ‘‘Analysis for the Final Results of the Administrative Review of Non- Refillable Steel Cylinders from the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated concurrently with this notice. 7 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 44262 (July 12, 2023). 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 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.

SUMMARY : Based on the affirmative final determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), Commerce is issuing an antidumping duty order on truck and bus tires from Thailand. DATES : Applicable December 17, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Faris Montgomery or Jonathan Schueler, AD/CVD Operations, Office VIII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–1537 or (202) 482–9175, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on October 17, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register its affirmative final determination of sales at less-than-fair- value (LTFV) in the investigation of truck and bus tires from Thailand. 1 As part of its determination, Commerce made an affirmative crticial cirumstances finding for Bridgestone Corporation in the LTFV investigation. Pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, on December 2, 2024, the ITC notified Commerce of its affirmative final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured, within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of imports of truck and bus tires from Thailand that are sold in the United States at LTFV. 2 On December 6, 2024, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC published in the Federal Register its affirmative final injury determination in this investigation in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of truck and bus tires from Thailand.3 In addition, the ITC found that critical circumstances do not exist with regard to imports of truck and bus tires from Thailand.4 Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are truck and bus tires from Thailand. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Order Based on the above-referenced affirmative final determinations, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this antidumping duty order. Moreover, because the ITC determined that U.S. imports of truck and bus tires from Thailand are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Thailand, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, as described below, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price or constructed export price of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of truck and bus tires from Thailand. With the exception of entries occurring after expiration of the provisional measures period, but before publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination, as further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated U.S. entries of truck and bus tires from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date on which the suspension of liquidation was first ordered. As discussed in the Final Determination, with respect to Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Prinx) this date is October 17, 2024, the date of publication of the Final Determination in the Federal Register.5 With respect to Bridgestone Corporation and all other companies, this date is May 20, 2024, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. 6 VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:45 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\17DEN1.SGM 17DEN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 102112 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Notices Determination of Critical Circumstances, and Postponement of Final Determination, 89 FR 43806 (May 20, 2024) (Preliminary Determination). 7 See Preliminary Determination. 8 See Final Determination, 89 FR at 83638. 9 See Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300 (September 20, 2021) (Final Rule). 10 See Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; and Informational Sessions, 86 FR 53205 (September 27, 2021) (Procedural Guidance). 11 Id. 12 This segment will be combined with the ACCESS Segment Specific Information (SSI) field which will display the month in which the notice of the order or suspended investigation was published in the Federal Register, also known as the anniversary month. For example, for an order under case number A–000–000 that was published in the Federal Register in January, the relevant segment and SSI combination will appear in ACCESS as ‘‘AISL-January Anniversary.’’ Note that there will be only one annual inquiry service list segment per case number, and the anniversary month will be pre-populated in ACCESS. Critical Circumstances With respect to the ITC’s negative critical circumstances determination on imports of truck and bus tires from Thailand, we will instruct CBP to lift the suspension of liquidation and to refund all cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties with respect to entries of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 20, 2024, which is 90 days prior to the publication of the Preliminary Determination, but before May 20, 2024, which is the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.7 Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional Measures’’ section of this notice below, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all relevant entries of truck and bus tires from Thailand. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits at a rate equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins listed in the table below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC’s affirmative final injury determination, CBP will suspend the entries of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise and require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the weighted-average dumping margins listed in the table below. The all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins The estimated weighted-average dumping margins for this antidumping duty order are as follows: Producer or exporter Weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Bridgestone Corporation ............. 48.39 Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd ................................... 12.33 All Others .................................... 12.33 Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four- month period to no more than six months. Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in this investigation on May 20, 2024. Commerce extended the deadline for issuing its final determination in this investigation, which it published in the Federal Register on October 17, 2024. Therefore, the six-month provisional measures period beginning on the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination for Bridgestone and all other companies ended on November 15, 2024. As noted above, suspension of liquidation for Prinx was not ordered until October 17, 2024, the date of publication of the Final Determination in the Federal Register; 8 therefore, the six-month provisional measures period for Prinx has not yet ended. Consequently, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation, and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated U.S. entries of truck and bus tires from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 16, 2024, the first day on which the provisional measures were no longer in effect for Bridgestone and all other companies, through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC Final Determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC Final Determination in the Federal Register. Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the final rule titled Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws in the Federal Register.9 On September 27, 2021, Commerce published a notification titled Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; and Informational Sessions in the Federal Register.10 The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same country of origin. 11 In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce’s online e-filing and document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be maintained in ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type called ‘‘AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.’’ 12 Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance in the annual inquiry service list segment in ACCESS for the order within 30 days after the date of publication of the order in the Federal Register. For ease of administration, Commerce requests that a law firm with more than one attorney representing an interested party in an order designate a lead attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance, the new annual inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is published in the Federal Register.

Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time, as needed, based on interested parties’ amendments to their entries of appearance to remove, or otherwise modify, their list of members and representatives, or to update contact information. Changes or announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the ACCESS website at https://access.trade.gov. Special Instructions for Petitioners and Foreign Governments In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, ‘‘after an initial request and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry service list in the years that follow.’’ 13 Accordingly, as stated above, the petitioners and foreign governments should submit their initial entry of appearance after publication of this notice in the Federal Register in order to appear in the first annual inquiry service list. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioners and foreign governments will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each year to continue to be included on the annual inquiry service list. However, the petitioners and foreign governments are responsible for making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the procedures described above.

Interested parties can find a list of antidumping duty orders currently in effect at https://www.trade.gov/data- visualization/adcvd-proceedings.

Abdelali Elouaradia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix Scope of the Order The scope of the order covers truck and bus tires. Truck and bus tires are new pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a truck or bus size designation. Truck and bus tires covered by the scope may be tube-type, tubeless, radial, or non-radial (also known as bias construction or bias- ply). Subject tires have, at the time of importation, the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ on the sidewall, certifying that the tire conforms to applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Subject tires may also have one of the following suffixes in their tire size designation, which also appear on the sidewall of the tire: TR—Identifies tires for service on trucks or buses to differentiate them from similarly sized passenger car and light truck tires; and HC—Identifies a 17.5 inch rim diameter code for use on low platform trailers. All tires with a ‘‘TR’’ or ‘‘HC’’ suffix in their size designations are covered by the scope regardless of their intended use. In addition, all tires that lack one of the above suffix markings are included in the scope, as well as all tires that include any other prefix or suffix in their sidewall markings, are included in the scope, regardless of their intended use, as long as the tire is of a size that fits trucks or busses. Sizes that fit trucks and busses include, but are not limited to, the numerical size designations listed in the ‘‘Truck-Bus’’ section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book, as updated annually. The scope includes all tires that are of a size that fits trucks or busses, unless the tire falls within one of the specific exclusions set out below. Truck and bus 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 truck and bus tires produced in the subject country whether mounted on wheels or rims in the subject country or in a third country. 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 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. Tires meeting the scope description may also enter under the following HTSUS subheadings: 4011.90.1010, 4011.90.1050, 4011.90.2010, 4011.90.2050, 4011.90.8010, 4011.90.8050, 8708.70.4530, 8708.70.4546, 8708.70.4548, 8708.70.4560, 8708.70.6030, 8708.70.6045, 8708.70.6060, and 8716.90.5059.
