(LTFV)and are allegedly subsidized by the Government of China. 2 1 The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR § 207.2(f)). 2 Vice Chairman Dean A. Pinkert and Commissioners Irving A. Williamson and Rhonda K. Schmidtlein determine that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China. Chairman Meredith M. Broadbent and Commissioners David S. Johanson and F. Scott Kieff determine that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China. Commencement of Final Phase Investigations Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of scheduling, which will be published in the **Federal Register** as provided in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the Department of Commerce (Commerce) of affirmative preliminary determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the investigations. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the investigations. Background On June 3, 2014, a petition was filed with the Commission and Commerce by the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union (“USW”), Pittsburgh, PA, alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV and subsidized imports of certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China. Accordingly, effective June 3, 2014, the Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-522 and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1258 (Preliminary). Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the **Federal Register** of June 9, 2014 (79 FR 32994). The conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 24, 2014, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel. The Commission transmitted its determinations in these investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on August 15, 2014. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4482 (August 2014), entitled *Certain Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-522 and 731-TA-1258 (Preliminary).* By order of the Commission. Issued: August 15, 2014. Lisa R. Barton, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 2014-19797 Filed 8-20-14; 8:45 am]
