Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 32 / Friday, February 19, 2021 / Notices
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone:
202 4825255.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background On August 10, 2015, Commerce published the amended final affirmative determinations in the AD and CVD
investigations of passenger tires from China as well as the AD and CVD orders for passenger tires in the Federal Register.1 On July 1, 2020, the ITC
instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3
the five-year sunset reviews of the AD
and CVD orders on passenger tires from China, pursuant to section 751c of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended the Act.
As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders on passenger tires from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins and net subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked.4
On February 11, 2021, the ITC
published its determinations, pursuant to sections 751c and 752a 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.5
