the U.S. with the highest annual landed
weight; and other strategic freight
assets, including strategic intermodal
facilities and freight rail lines of Class II
and Class III railroads, designated by the
Under Secretary as critical to interstate
commerce.
DOT is seeking public comment on
the Interim NMFN, including recommendations for intermodal connectors
that should be added or removed from
the current map. DOT is also looking
for specific comments on intermodal
facilities not currently included in the
Interim NMFN, supported with data
that demonstrates the facilities' importance to the network.
Comments are due by Sept. 6, 2016.
Commerce Affirms Duty
on Chinese Tires
On June 28, the Department of
Commerce announced an affirmative
preliminary determination in its
countervailing duty investigation
of truck and bus tires from China

and instructed Customs and Border
Protection to begin collecting cash
deposits on these products. This
followed a June decision to delay
a preliminary determination in its
antidumping duty investigation.
CVD investigations assess whether
imports are subsidized. Antidumping
investigations consider whether
imports are being sold at less than fair
value.
As the International Trade Commission did in its primary determination,
the DOC did not define 10x20 bias ply
tube tires to be a separate, domestic
like product. Should the DOC choose
to issue a "scope of clarification" at any
point in the future, 10x20 bias ply tube
tires could be determined exempt from
this investigation and resulting cash
deposits.
Antidumping and countervailing
duty investigations are conducted
simultaneously by both the DOC and
the ITC. While the DOC evaluates
whether the dumping or subsidizing
exists and the margin of the dumping
or subsidizing, the ITC focuses on
whether there is "material injury or
threat of material injury to the domestic
industry."
Had the ITC found a negative
preliminary determination, the
investigation would have been
terminated. However, the ITC reported
affirmative preliminary determinations
in both the antidumping and
countervailing duty investigations in
late March and began the final phase of
its investigations. This allowed the DOC
to continue with its investigations and
make this affirmative preliminary CVD
determination.
Meanwhile, the DOC is scheduled
to make a preliminary determination
in its antidumping investigations by
Aug. 2. Given this timeline, a final DOC
determination in both investigations is
expected on Nov. 10. The ITC then has
approximately 45 days to make its final
determination, making it due by Dec.
24, 2016.
