    WASHINGTON (Jan. 28, 2016) — The U.S. International Trade Commission's (ITC) Jan. 29  conference to gather opinion on the pending antidumping and countervailing duties action against pneumatic off-the-road tire imports from China, India and Sri Lanka portends to be a busy affair, as more than 50 parties — including 11 Indian tire makers — have asked to be included.

    The meeting, scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. at ITC headquarters, will address concerns raised by Titan Tire International Inc. and the United Steelworkers (USW).

    Parties supporting or opposing the imposition of duties will each collectively be given one hour to make oral presentations, the ITC said in its meeting notice several weeks ago.

    Non-parties to the investigations may request permission to make short statements germane to the investigations, according to the agency.

    The list of parties that have contacted the ITC also includes the government of Sri Lanka and India's Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association as well as U.S. manufacturers Bridgestone Americas, Goodyear, Michelin North America Inc. and Specialty Tires of America Inc.

Ltd./Alliance Tire America; BKT Tires Inc.; Camso USA/Camso Loadstar (Pvt.) Ltd.; and Speedway Rubber Co. will present in opposition.
