deposit of estimated countervailing
duties for such entries of subject
merchandise in the amounts indicated
above. If the ITC determines that
material injury, or threat of material
injury, does not exist, this proceeding
will be terminated and all estimated
duties deposited or securities posted as
a result of the suspension of liquidation
will be refunded or canceled.
ITC Notification
In accordance with section 705(d) of
the Act, we will notify the ITC of our
determination. Because the final
determination in this proceeding is
affirmative, in accordance with section
705(b) of the Act, the ITC will make its
final determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports of
quartz surface products from Turkey no
later than 45 days after our final
determination. If the ITC determines
that material injury or threat of material
injury does not exist, the proceeding
will be terminated and all cash deposits
will be refunded. If the ITC determines
that material injury or threat of material
injury does exist, Commerce will issue
a CVD order directing CBP to assess,
upon further instruction by Commerce,
countervailing duties on all imports of
the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation, as
discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of
Suspension of Liquidation’’ section.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
In the event the ITC issues a final
negative injury determination, this
notice serves as the only reminder to
parties subject to an APO of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order,
is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and
published pursuant to sections 705(d)
and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(c).

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by the
investigation is certain quartz surface
products. Quartz surface products consist of
slabs and other surfaces created from a
mixture of materials that includes
predominately silica (e.g., quartz, quartz
powder, cristobalite, glass powder) as well as
a resin binder (e.g., an unsaturated polyester).
The incorporation of other materials,
including, but not limited to, pigments,
cement, or other additives does not remove
the merchandise from the scope of the
investigation. However, the scope of the
investigation only includes products where
the silica content is greater than any other
single material, by actual weight. Quartz
surface products are typically sold as
rectangular slabs with a total surface area of
approximately 45 to 60 square feet and a
nominal thickness of one, two, or three
centimeters. However, the scope of this
investigation includes surface products of all
other sizes, thicknesses, and shapes. In
addition to slabs, the scope of this
investigation includes, but is not limited to,
other surfaces such as countertops,
backsplashes, vanity tops, bar tops, work
tops, tabletops, flooring, wall facing, shower
surrounds, fire place surrounds, mantels, and
tiles. Certain quartz surface products are
covered by the investigation whether
polished or unpolished, cut or uncut,
fabricated or not fabricated, cured or
uncured, edged or not edged, finished or
unfinished, thermoformed or not
thermoformed, packaged or unpackaged, and
regardless of the type of surface finish.
In addition, quartz surface products are
covered by the investigation whether or not
they are imported attached to, or in
conjunction with, non-subject merchandise
such as sinks, sink bowls, vanities, cabinets,
and furniture. If quartz surface products are
imported attached to, or in conjunction with,
such non-subject merchandise, only the
quartz surface product is covered by the
scope.
Subject merchandise includes material
matching the above description that has been
finished, packaged, or otherwise fabricated in
a third country, including by cutting,
polishing, curing, edging, thermoforming,
attaching to, or packaging with another
product, or any other finishing, packaging, or
fabrication that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of the
investigation if performed in the country of
manufacture of the quartz surface products.
The scope of the investigation does not
cover quarried stone surface products, such
as granite, marble, soapstone, or quartzite.
Specifically excluded from the scope of the
investigation are crushed glass surface
products. Crushed glass surface products
must meet each of the following criteria to
qualify for this exclusion: (1) The crushed
glass content is greater than any other single
material, by actual weight; (2) there are
pieces of crushed glass visible across the
surface of the product; (3) at least some of the
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
individual pieces of crushed glass that are
visible across the surface are larger than 1
centimeter wide as measured at their widest
cross-section (‘‘Glass Pieces’’); and (4) the
distance between any single Glass Piece and
the closest separate Glass Piece does not
exceed three inches.
The products subject to the scope are
currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under
the following subheading: 6810.99.0010.
Subject merchandise may also enter under
subheadings 6810.11.0010, 6810.11.0070,
6810.19.1200, 6810.19.1400, 6810.19.5000,
6810.91.0000, 6810.99.0080, 6815.99.4070,
2506.10.0010, 2506.10.0050, 2506.20.0010,
2506.20.0080, and 7016.90.1050. The HTSUS
subheadings set forth above are provided for
convenience and U.S. Customs purposes
only. The written description of the scope is
dispositive.
