Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are
common alloy aluminum sheet, which is a
flat-rolled aluminum product having a
thickness of 6.3 mm or less, but greater than
0.2 mm, in coils or cut-to-length, regardless
of width. Common alloy sheet within the
scope of these orders includes both not clad
aluminum sheet, as well as multi-alloy, clad
aluminum sheet. With respect to not clad
aluminum sheet, common alloy sheet is
manufactured from a 1XXX-, 3XXX-, or
5XXX-series alloy as designated by the
Aluminum Association. With respect to
multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet, common
alloy sheet is produced from a 3XXX-series
core, to which cladding layers are applied to
either one or both sides of the core. The use
of a proprietary alloy or non-proprietary alloy
that is not specifically registered by the
Aluminum Association as a discrete 1XXX, 3XXX-, or 5XXX-series alloy, but that
otherwise has a chemistry that is consistent
with these designations, does not remove an
otherwise in-scope product from the scope.
Common alloy sheet may be made to
ASTM specification B209–14 but can also be
made to other specifications. Regardless of
specification, however, all common alloy
sheet meeting the scope description is
included in the scope. Subject merchandise
includes common alloy sheet that has been
further processed in a third country,
including but not limited to annealing,
tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming,
cutting, punching, and/or slitting, or any
other processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope of
these orders if performed in the country of
manufacture of the common alloy sheet.
Excluded from the scope of these orders is
aluminum can stock, which is suitable for
use in the manufacture of aluminum
beverage cans, lids of such cans, or tabs used
to open such cans. Aluminum can stock is
produced to gauges that range from 0.200 mm
to 0.292 mm, and has an H–19, H–41, H–48,
H–39, or H–391 temper. In addition,
aluminum can stock has a lubricant applied
to the flat surfaces of the can stock to
facilitate its movement through machines
used in the manufacture of beverage cans.
Aluminum can stock is properly classified
under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7606.12.3045 and 7606.12.3055.
Where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within the
scope if application of either the nominal or
actual measurement would place it within
the scope based on the definitions set for the
above.

Common alloy sheet is currently
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings
7606.11.3060, 7606.11.6000, 7606.12.3096,

United States under HTSUS subheadings
7606.11.3030, 7606.12.3015, 7606.12.3025,

deadline for the final results of this

All issues raised in interested parties’
briefs are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum accompanying
this notice. A list of the issues raised by
interested parties, and to which
Commerce responded in the Issues and

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on comments received and
record evidence, Commerce made
certain changes to the Preliminary
Results. These changes are explained in

Companies Not Selected for Individual
Review
For the companies not selected for
individual review, because the rates
calculated for Norma (India) Ltd.
(Norma) and R.N. Gupta & Co. Ltd
(RNG) are above de minimis and not
based entirely on facts available, we
applied a subsidy rate based on a
weighted-average of the subsidy rates
calculated for Norma and RNG using
publicly ranged sales data submitted by
the respondents.3 This is consistent
with the methodology that we would
use in an investigation to establish the
all-others rate, pursuant to section
705(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
