Methodology

Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with
section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices and
constructed export prices in accordance with sections 772(a) and 772(b)
of the Act, respectively. Because Vietnam is a non-market economy,
within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, Commerce has
calculated normal value in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
Furthermore, pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce
has preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available with adverse
inferences to determine the estimated weighted-average dumping margin
for the Vietnam-wide entity. For a full description of the methodology
underlying Commerce's preliminary determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.

Combination Rates

In the Initiation Notice,\8\ Commerce stated that it would
calculate producer/exporter combination rates for the respondents that
are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. Policy Bulletin
05.1 describes this practice.\9\ In this investigation, we assigned
producer/exporter combination rates for respondents eligible for
separate rates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\8\ See Initiation Notice, 85 FR at 38858.
\9\ See Enforcement and Compliance's Policy Bulletin No. 05.1,
regarding, ``Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination
Rates in Antidumping Investigations involving Non-Market Economy
Countries,'' April 5, 2005 (Policy Bulletin 05.1), available on
Commerce's website at http://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Determination

Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margins exist:

Exporter Producer average dumping subsidy offset)
margin (percent) (percent)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 subject merchandise as described in the scope of the investigation
section entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register,
as discussed below. 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 weighted-average amount by which normal value
exceeds U.S. price, as indicated in the chart above as follows: (1) For
the producer/exporter combinations listed in the table above, except
those specified for Kenda Rubber (Vietnam) Co. Ltd. (Kenda) and Sailun
Group (HongKong) Co., Limited/Sailun Tire Americas Inc. (Sailun), the
cash deposit rate is equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping
margin listed for that combination in the table; (2) for all
combinations of Vietnam producers/exporters of merchandise under
consideration that have not established eligibility for their own
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin established for the Vietnam-wide
entity; and (3) for all third-country exporters of merchandise under
consideration not listed in the table above, the cash deposit rate is
the cash deposit rate applicable to the Vietnam producer/exporter
combination (or the Vietnam-wide entity) that supplied that third-
country exporter.
Because the estimated weighted-average dumping margins for Kenda
and Sailun in the above-specified producer/exporter combinations are
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than two percent), Commerce will not
direct CBP to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise
from those producer/exporter combinations. Entries of subject
merchandise from these exporters supplied by any other producer, or
from these producers that supplied any other exporter, or from third-
country exporters that sourced from these producer/exporter
combinations, are subject to suspension of liquidation and provisional
measures at the cash deposit rate established for the Vietnam-wide
entity.
As explained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, in accordance
with section 735(a)(4) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.204(e)(1), should the
final estimated weighted-average dumping margins be zero or de minimis
for Kenda or Sailun in the producer/exporter combination identified
above, and should the investigation result in an antidumping duty order
pursuant to section 736 of the Act, entries of merchandise from those
producer/exporter combinations will be excluded from the order.\10\
Such exclusions will not be applicable to merchandise exported to the
United States by any other producer/exporter combinations or by third-
country exporters that sourced from the excluded producer/exporter
combinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\10\ Specifically, Commerce only intends to exclude from the
order the mandatory respondents with a final estimated weighted-
average dumping margin of zero or de minimis. If any of the separate
rate companies are assigned a final estimated weighted-average
dumping margin of zero or de minimis, Commerce does not intend to
exclude such companies from the order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commerce normally adjusts cash deposits for estimated antidumping
duties by the amount of domestic subsidy pass-through and export
subsidies countervailed in a companion countervailing duty (CVD)
proceeding, when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly,
where Commerce preliminarily made an affirmative determination for
domestic subsidy pass-through or export subsidies, Commerce has offset
the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate rates.
Any such adjusted cash deposit rate may be found in the Preliminary
Determination section above.
Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation
expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV
investigation,

[[Page 506]]

Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting cash deposits at a rate
equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated in
this preliminary determination unadjusted for export subsidies at the
time the CVD provisional measures expire.
These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect
until further notice.

Disclosure

Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with this preliminary determination within five
days of its public announcement or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of this notice in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Verification

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to
verify the information relied upon in making its final determination.
Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures,
including an on-site examination of original accounting, financial, and
sales documentation. However, due to current travel restrictions in
response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Commerce is unable to conduct
on-site verification in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to
verify the information relied upon in making the final determination
through alternative means in lieu of an on-site verification.

Public Comment

Case briefs or other written comments 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 on non-scope issues at a later date. Rebuttal briefs,
limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than
seven days after the deadline date for case briefs.\11\ Commerce has
modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing
business proprietary information until further notice.\12\ Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or
rebuttal briefs in this investigation are encouraged to submit with
each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the
argument; and (3) a table of authorities.

19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 10, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 and time of
the hearing two days before the scheduled date.

Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional
Measures

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. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), Commerce requires
that requests by respondents for postponement of a final antidumping
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 December 1 and 7, 2020, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Sailun
and Kenda requested, respectively, that Commerce postpone the final
determination and that provisional measures be extended for a period
not to exceed six months.\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 and extending the provisional measures from a four-
month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly,
Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after
the date of publication of this preliminary determination, pursuant to
section 735(a)(2) of the Act.

International Trade Commission Notification

In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify
the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary
determination of sales at LTFV. 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 imports of the subject merchandise 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).

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

The scope of this investigation is passenger vehicle and light
truck tires. Passenger vehicle and light truck tires are new
pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a passenger vehicle or light truck
size designation. Tires covered by this investigation may be tube-
type, tubeless, radial, or non-radial, and they may be intended for
sale to original equipment manufacturers or the replacement market.
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 the following prefixes or suffix in their tire size
designation, which also appears on the sidewall of the tire:
Prefix designations:
P--Identifies a tire intended primarily for service on passenger
cars.
LT--Identifies a tire intended primarily for service on light
trucks.
Suffix letter designations:
LT--Identifies light truck tires for service on trucks, buses,
trailers, and multipurpose passenger vehicles used in nominal
highway service.
All tires with a ``P'' or ``LT'' prefix, and all tires with an
``LT'' suffix in their sidewall markings are covered by these
investigations regardless of their intended use.
