Notification to Interested Parties
This list of scope ruling applications is not an identification of
scope inquiries that have been initiated. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.225(d)(1), if Commerce has not rejected a scope ruling application
nor initiated the scope inquiry within 30 days after the filing of the
application, the application will be deemed accepted and a scope
inquiry will be deemed initiated the following day--day 31.\11\
Commerce's practice generally dictates that where a deadline falls on a
weekend, Federal holiday, or other non-business day, the appropriate
deadline is the next business day.\12\ Accordingly, if the 30th day
after the filing of the application falls on a non-business day, the
next business day will be considered the ``updated'' 30th day, and if
the application is not rejected or a scope inquiry initiated by or on
that particular business day, the application will be deemed accepted
and a scope inquiry will be deemed initiated on the next business day
which follows the ``updated'' 30th day.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(2), within 30 days
after the filing of a scope ruling application, if Commerce
determines that it intends to address the scope issue raised in the
application in another segment of the proceeding (such as a
circumvention inquiry under 19 CFR 351.226 or a covered merchandise
inquiry under 19 CFR 351.227), it will notify the applicant that it
will not initiate a scope inquiry, but will instead determine if the
product is covered by the scope at issue in that alternative
segment.
\12\ See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business
Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to
the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
\13\ This structure maintains the intent of the applicable
regulation, 19 CFR 351.225(d)(1), to allow day 30 and day 31 to be
separate business days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(m)(2), if there are companion AD
and CVD orders covering the same merchandise from the same country of
origin, the scope inquiry will be conducted on the record of the AD
proceeding. Further, please note that pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(m)(1),
Commerce may either apply a scope ruling to all products from the same
country with the same relevant physical characteristics, (including
chemical, dimensional, and technical characteristics) as the product at
issue, on a country-wide basis, regardless of the producer, exporter,
or importer of those products, or on a company-specific basis.
For further information on procedures for filing information with
Commerce through ACCESS and participating in scope inquiries, please
refer to the Filing Instructions section of the Scope Ruling
Application Guide, at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/help/Scope_Ruling_Guidance.pdf">https://access.trade.gov/help/Scope_Ruling_Guidance.pdf</a>. Interested parties, apart from the scope
ruling applicant, who wish to participate in a scope inquiry and be
added to the public service list for that segment of the proceeding
must file an entry of appearance in
[[Page 19616]]
accordance with 19 CFR 351.103(d)(1) and 19 CFR 351.225(n)(4).
Interested parties are advised to refer to the case segment in ACCESS
as well as 19 CFR 351.225(f) for further information on the scope
inquiry procedures, including the timelines for the submission of
comments.
Please note that this notice of scope ruling applications filed in
AD and CVD proceedings may be published before any potential
initiation, or after the initiation, of a given scope inquiry based on
a scope ruling application identified in this notice. Therefore, please
refer to the case segment on ACCESS to determine whether a scope ruling
application has been accepted or rejected and whether a scope inquiry
has been initiated.
Interested parties who wish to be served scope ruling applications
for a particular AD or CVD order may file a request to be included on
the annual inquiry service list during the anniversary month of the
publication of the AD or CVD order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(n)
and Commerce's procedures.\14\
