FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Huston, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 6, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4261.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department published a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the countervailing duty order on OTR Tires 
from the PRC. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 
74 FR 45179 (September 1, 2009). GPX timely requested an administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on OTR Tires from the PRC for 
the period December 17, 2007 through December 31, 2008.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department 
published a notice initiating an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 74 FR 54956 (October 26, 2009).

Rescission, in Part, of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review

    The Department's regulations provide that the Department will 
rescind an administrative review if the party that requested the review 
withdraws its request for review within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). GPX, 
the only party to request a review of Aeolus, GTC, Feichi, Huitong, 
Wanda and Triangle, timely withdrew its request for a review within the 
90-day deadline. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 
the Department is rescinding this administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order with respect to these six companies. This 
administrative review will continue with respect to Hebei Starbright 
Tire Co., Ltd., Hanghzou Zhongce Rubber Co., Ltd. and Tianjin United 
Tire & Rubber International Co.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. For 
Aeolus, GTC,

[[Page 847]]

Feichi, Huitong, Wanda and Triangle, countervailing duties shall be 
assessed, if applicable, at rates equal to the cash deposit or bonding 
rate of the estimated countervailing duties required at the time of 
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after 
publication of this notice.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition 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/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.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 30, 2009.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
