[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-522 and 731-TA-1258 (Review)]

Expedited Five-Year Reviews

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of 
expedited reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to 
determine whether revocation of the countervailing and antidumping duty 
orders on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within 
a reasonably foreseeable time.

DATES: October 5, 2020.

Office of Investigations, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E

reviews may be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS) at 
https://edis.usitc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On October 5, 2020, the 
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response 
to its notice of institution (85 FR 39581, July 1, 2020) of the subject 
five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party 
group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other 
circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews.\1\ 
Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited 
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes is available from the 
Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and 
rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), 
and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).
    Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic 
filings at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's 
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov). 
No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic 
filings will be accepted until further notice.
    Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
January 8, 2021, and made available to persons on the Administrative 
Protective Order service list for these reviews. A public version will 
be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the 
Commission's rules.
    Written submissions.--As provided in section 207.62(d) of the 
Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews 
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of 
institution,\2\ and any party other than an interested party to the 
reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before January 14, 2021 and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year 
reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement 
(which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the 
reviews by January 14, 2021. However, should the Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') extend the time limit for its completion of the final 
results of its reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not 
contain new factual information) on Commerce's final results is three 
business days after the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments 
contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with 
the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the 
Commission's rules. The Commission's Handbook on Filing Procedures, 
available on the Commission's website at https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the 
Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the response to its notice of 
institution filed by the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers 
International Union (``domestic interested party''), which 
represents workers at five domestic producers of PVLT tires: Cooper 
Tire & Rubber Company, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Michelin 
North America Inc., Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC, and the Yokohama 
Rubber Co., Ltd., to be adequate. Comments from other interested 
parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each 
document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other 
parties to the review (as identified by either the public or BPI 
service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The 
Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate 
of service.
    Determination.--The Commission has determined these reviews are 
extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise 
its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 
19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

    Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 7, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
