Appendix II—Scope of the Investigation
The product covered by this investigation
is woven (whether from yarns or rovings)
industrial grade amorphous silica fabric,
which contains a minimum of 90 percent
silica (SiO2) by nominal weight, and a
nominal width in excess of 8 inches. The
investigation covers industrial grade
amorphous silica fabric regardless of other
materials contained in the fabric, regardless
of whether in roll form or cut-to-length,
regardless of weight, width (except as noted
above), or length. The investigation covers
industrial grade amorphous silica fabric
regardless of whether the product is
approved by a standards testing body (such
as being Factory Mutual (FM) Approved), or
regardless of whether it meets any
governmental specification.
Industrial grade amorphous silica fabric
may be produced in various colors. The
investigation covers industrial grade
amorphous silica fabric regardless of whether

the fabric is colored. Industrial grade
amorphous silica fabric may be coated or
treated with materials that include, but are
not limited to, oils, vermiculite, acrylic latex
compound, silicone, aluminized polyester
(Mylar®) film, pressure-sensitive adhesive, or
other coatings and treatments. The
investigation covers industrial grade
amorphous silica fabric regardless of whether
the fabric is coated or treated, and regardless
of coating or treatment weight as a percentage
of total product weight. Industrial grade
amorphous silica fabric may be heat-cleaned.
The investigation covers industrial grade
amorphous silica fabric regardless of whether
the fabric is heat-cleaned.
Industrial grade amorphous silica fabric
may be imported in rolls or may be cut-tolength and then further fabricated to make
welding curtains, welding blankets, welding
pads, fire blankets, fire pads, or fire screens.
Regardless of the name, all industrial grade
amorphous silica fabric that has been further
cut-to-length or cut-to-width or further
finished by finishing the edges and/or adding
grommets, is included within the scope of
this investigation.
Subject merchandise also includes (1) any
industrial grade amorphous silica fabric that
has been converted into industrial grade
amorphous silica fabric in China from
fiberglass cloth produced in a third country;
and (2) any industrial grade amorphous silica
fabric that has been further processed in a
third country prior to export to the United
States, including but not limited to treating,
coating, slitting, cutting to length, cutting to
width, finishing the edges, adding grommets,
or any other processing that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of the investigation if performed in the
country of manufacture of the in-scope
industrial grade amorphous silica fabric.
Excluded from the scope of the
investigation is amorphous silica fabric that
is subjected to controlled shrinkage, which is
also called ‘‘pre-shrunk’’ or ‘‘aerospace
grade’’ amorphous silica fabric. In order to be
excluded as a pre-shrunk or aerospace grade
amorphous silica fabric, the amorphous silica
fabric must meet the following exclusion
criteria: (l) The amorphous silica fabric must
contain a minimum of 98 percent silica
(SiO2) by nominal weight; (2) the amorphous
silica fabric must have an areal shrinkage of
4 percent or less; (3) the amorphous silica
fabric must contain no coatings or treatments;
and (4) the amorphous silica fabric must be
white in color. For purposes of this scope,
‘‘areal shrinkage’’ refers to the extent to
which a specimen of amorphous silica fabric
shrinks while subjected to heating at 1800
degrees F for 30 minutes.16
Also excluded from the scope are
amorphous silica fabric rope and tubing (or
sleeving). Amorphous silica fabric rope is a
knitted or braided product made from
amorphous silica yarns. Silica tubing (or
sleeving) is braided into a hollow sleeve from
amorphous silica yarns.
The subject imports are normally classified
in subheadings 7019.59.4021, 7019.59.4096,
16 Areal shrinkage is expressed as the following
percentage: ((Fired Area, em2¥Initial Area, cm2)/
Initial Area, cm2) × 100 = Areal Shrinkage, %.

1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to
submitting factual information in these
segments. To the extent that other
regulations govern the submission of
factual information in a segment (such

will continue to be applied. Parties are
also advised to review the final rule
concerning the extension of time limits
for submissions in AD/CVD

This notice serves as a reminder that any party submitting factual
information in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify to the accuracy and
completeness of that information.\2\ Parties are hereby reminded that
revised certification requirements are in effect for company/government
officials as well as their representatives in these segments.\3\ The
formats for the revised certifications are provided at the end of the
Final Rule. The Department intends to reject factual submissions if the
submitting party does not comply with the revised certification
requirements.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 10, 2013, the Department modified two regulations related
to AD/CVD proceedings: The definition of factual information (19 CFR
351.102(b)(21)), and the time limits for the submission of factual
information (19 CFR 351.301).\4\ Parties are advised to review the
final rule, available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to submitting factual information in these
segments. To the extent that other regulations govern the submission of
factual information in a segment (such as 19 CFR 351.218), these time
limits will continue to be applied. Parties are also advised to review
the final rule concerning the extension of time limits for submissions
in AD/CVD proceedings, available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/1309frn/2013-22853.txt, prior to submitting factual information in
these segments.\5\

Letters of Appearance and Administrative Protective Orders
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the Department will maintain and
make available a public service list for these proceedings. Parties
wishing to participate in any of these five-year reviews must file
letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). To facilitate
the timely preparation of the public service list, it is requested that
those seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding submit
an entry of appearance within 10 days of the publication of the Notice
of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge
interested parties who want access to proprietary information under
administrative protective order (``APO'') to file an APO application
immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this
notice of initiation. The Department's regulations on submission of
proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business
proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304-306.
Information Required From Interested Parties
Domestic interested parties, as defined in section 771(9)(C), (D),
(E), (F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b), wishing to
participate in a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days
after the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of
initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The required
contents of the notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with the Department's regulations, if
we do not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one
domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, the Department will
automatically revoke the order without further review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate
from a domestic interested party, the Department's regulations provide
that all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties.
Also, note that the Department's information requirements are distinct
[[Page 60345]]
from the Commission's information requirements. Consult the
Department's regulations for information regarding the Department's
conduct of Sunset Reviews. Consult the Department's regulations at 19
CFR part 351 for definitions of terms and for other general information
concerning antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings at the
Department.
This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
Dated: August 25, 2016.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
