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:

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section entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 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.

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.

[[Page 507]]

    In addition, all tires that lack a ``P'' or ``LT'' prefix or 
suffix in their sidewall markings, as well as all tires that include 
any other prefix or suffix in their sidewall markings, are included 
in the scope, regardless of their intended use, as long as the tire 
is of a size that fits passenger cars or light trucks. Sizes that 
fit passenger cars and light trucks include, but are not limited to, 
the numerical size designations listed in the passenger car section 
or light truck section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book, as 
updated annually. The scope includes all tires that are of a size 
that fits passenger cars or light trucks, unless the tire falls 
within one of the specific exclusions set out below.
    Passenger vehicle and light truck tires, whether or not attached 
to wheels or rims, are included in the scope. However, if a subject 
tire is imported attached to a wheel or rim, only the tire is 
covered by the scope.
