(off-road tires) from India would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the ``Final Results of 
Review'' section of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lilit Astvatsatrian, AD/CVD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of 
the sunset review of the AD order on off-road tires from India,\1\ 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).\2\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i) and (ii), Commerce 
received notices of intent to participate in these sunset reviews from 
a domestic producer \3\ within 15 days after the date of publication of 
the Initiation Notice.\4\ The domestic producer claimed domestic 
interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a 
manufacturer of a domestic like product in the United States.
