Correction
In the Federal Register of June 18, 2025, in FR Doc 2025-11228, on
page 26013, in Appendix I, ``Scope of the Investigation,'' correct the
scope of the investigation so that it reads:
The merchandise covered by this investigation is certain brake
drums made of gray cast iron, whether finished or unfinished, with an
actual or nominal inside diameter of 14.75 inches or more but not over
16.6 inches, weighing more than 50 pounds. Unfinished brake drums are
those which have undergone some turning or machining but are not ready
for installation. Subject brake drums are included within the scope
whether imported individually or with non-subject merchandise (for
example, a hub), whether assembled or unassembled, or if joined with
non-subject merchandise. When a subject drum is imported together with
non-subject merchandise, such as, but not limited to, a drum-hub
assembly, only the subject drum is covered by the scope.
Subject merchandise also includes finished and unfinished brake
drums that are further processed in a third country or in the United
States, including, but not limited to, assembly or any other processing
that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of this
investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the subject
brake drums. The inclusion, attachment, joining, or assembly of non-
subject merchandise with subject drums either in the country of
manufacture of the subject drum or in a third country does not remove
the subject drum from the scope. Specifically excluded is merchandise
covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders
on certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from the People's Republic
of China. See Certain Chassis and Subassemblies Thereof from the
People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 36093 (July
8, 2021) and Certain Chassis and Subassemblies Thereof from the
People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final
Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR 24844 (May 10,
2021).
The scope also excludes composite brake drums that contain more
than 38 percent steel by weight.
The merchandise covered by this investigation is classifiable under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading
8708.30.5020. The merchandise covered by this investigation may be

of an assembly. Subject merchandise may also enter under HTSUS
