in areas without wire. The scope includes an
all-plastic twist tie containing a plastic core
as well as a plastic covering (the wing) over
the core, just like paper and/or plastic in a
metal tie. An all-plastic twist tie (without
metal wire) would be of the same
measurements as a twist tie containing one
or more metal wires. Twist ties are
commonly available individually in pre-cut
lengths (‘‘singles’’), wound in large spools to
be cut later by machine or hand, or in
perforated sheets of spooled or single twist
ties that are later slit by machine or by hand
(‘‘gangs’’).
The covering material of a twist tie may be
paper (metallic or plain), or plastic, and can
be dyed in a variety of colors with or without
printing. A twist tie may have the same
covering material on both sides or one side
of paper and one side of plastic. When
comprised of two sides of paper, the paper
material is bound together with an adhesive
or plastic. A twist tie may also have a tag or
label attached to it or a pre-applied adhesive
attached to it.
Excluded from the scope of the
investigation are twist ties packaged with
bags for sale together where the quantity of
twist ties does not exceed twice the number
of bags in each package. Also excluded are
twists ties that constitute part of the
packaging of the imported product, for
example, merchandise anchored/secured to a
backing with twist ties in the retail package
or a bag of bread that is closed with a twist
tie.
Twist ties are imported into the United
States under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
8309.90.0000 and 5609.00.3000. Subject
merchandise may also enter under HTSUS
subheadings 3920.51.5000, 3923.90.0080,
3926.90.9990, 4811.59.6000, 4821.10.2000,
4821.10.4000, 4821.90.2000, 4821.90.4000,
and 4823.90.8600. These HTSUS
subheadings are provided for reference only.
The written description of the scope of the
investigation is dispositive.

SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Minority Business Development

growth and global competitiveness of
minority-owned businesses in the
United States. For this purpose, a
minority owned business must be
owned or controlled by one of the

following persons or group of persons:
African American, American Indian,
Alaska Native, Asian, Hispanic, Native
Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Asian
Indian, and Hasidic Jew. MBDA
provides management and technical
assistance to large, medium, and small
minority business enterprises through a
network of business centers throughout
the United States.
Since 1983, every president has
issued a Presidential Proclamation
designating one week as National
Minority Enterprise Development (MED)
Week. MBDA recognizes the role that
minority entrepreneurs play in building
the Nation’s economy by honoring
businesses that are making a significant
contribution through the creation of
jobs, products and services, in addition
to supporting their local communities.
The National Minority Business Awards
Program is a key element of MED Week
and celebrates the outstanding
achievements of minority entrepreneurs.
MBDA may make awards in the
following categories: Minority
Construction Firm of the Year, Minority
Export Firm of the Year, Minority
Manufacturing Firm of the Year,
Minority E-Commerce Firm of the Year,
Minority Emerging Technologies and
Industries Firm of the Year, Minority
Health Products and Services Firm of
the Year, Minority Marketing and
Communications Firm of the Year, Firm
of the Year, Minority Veteran-Owned
Firm of the Year, and Robert J. Brown
Minority Business Enterprise of the
Year. In addition, MBDA may recognize
trailblazers and champions through the
Access to Capital Award, Advocate of
the Year Award, Distinguished Supplier
Diversity Award, Abe Venable Legacy
Award for Lifetime Achievement, and
Ronald H. Brown Leadership Awards.
All awards will be presented at a
ceremony during National MED Week.
Nominations for these awards are open
to the public. MBDA must collect two
types of information: (a) Information
identifying the nominee and nominator,
and (b) information explaining why the
nominee should be given the award.
The information will be used to
determine those applicants best meeting
the preannounced evaluation criterion.
Use of a nomination form standardizes
and limits the information collected as
part of the nomination process. This
makes the competition fair and eases the
burden on applicants and reviewers.
Participation in the National Minority
Business Awards competition is
voluntary and the awards are strictly
honorary.
