Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation consists of chassis and
subassemblies thereof, whether finished or
unfinished, whether assembled or
unassembled, whether coated or uncoated,
regardless of the number of axles, for carriage
of containers, or other payloads (including
self-supporting payloads) for road, marine
roll-on/roll-off (RORO) and/or rail transport.
Chassis are typically, but are not limited to,
rectangular framed trailers with a suspension
and axle system, wheels and tires, brakes, a
lighting and electrical system, a coupling for
towing behind a truck tractor, and a locking
system or systems to secure the shipping
container or containers to the chassis using
twistlocks, slide pins or similar attachment
devices to engage the corner fittings on the
container or other payload.
Subject merchandise includes, but is not
limited to, the following subassemblies:
• Chassis frames, or sections of chassis
frames, including kingpin assemblies,
bolsters consisting of transverse beams with
locking or support mechanisms, goosenecks,
drop assemblies, extension mechanisms and/
or rear impact guards;
• Running gear assemblies or axle
assemblies for connection to the chassis
frame, whether fixed in nature or capable of
sliding fore and aft or lifting up and lowering
down, which may or may not include
suspension(s) (mechanical or pneumatic),
wheel end components, slack adjusters,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
axles, brake chambers, locking pins, and tires
and wheels;
• Landing gear assemblies, for connection
to the chassis frame, capable of supporting
the chassis when it is not engaged to a
tractor; and
• Assemblies that connect to the chassis
frame or a section of the chassis frame, such
as, but not limited to, pintle hooks or B-trains
(which include a fifth wheel), which are
capable of connecting a chassis to a converter
dolly or another chassis.
Importation of any of these subassemblies,
whether assembled or unassembled,
constitutes an unfinished chassis for
purposes of this investigation.
Subject merchandise also includes chassis,
whether finished or unfinished, entered with
or for further assembly with components
such as, but not limited to: hub and drum
assemblies, brake assemblies (either drum or
disc), axles, brake chambers, suspensions and
suspension components, wheel end
components, landing gear legs, spoke or disc
wheels, tires, brake control systems,
electrical harnesses and lighting systems.
Processing of finished and unfinished
chassis and components such as trimming,
cutting, grinding, notching, punching,
drilling, painting, coating, staining, finishing,
assembly, or any other processing either in
the country of manufacture of the in-scope
product or in a third country does not
remove the product from the scope. Inclusion
of other components not identified as
comprising the finished or unfinished chassis
does not remove the product from the scope.
Individual components entered and sold
by themselves are not subject to the
investigation, but components entered with
or for further assembly with a finished or
unfinished chassis are subject merchandise.
A finished chassis is ultimately comprised of
several different types of subassemblies.
Within each subassembly there are numerous
components that comprise a given
subassembly.
This scope excludes dry van trailers,
refrigerated van trailers and flatbed trailers.
Dry van trailers are trailers with a wholly
enclosed cargo space comprised of fixed
sides, nose, floor and roof, with articulated
panels (doors) across the rear and
occasionally at selected places on the sides,
with the cargo space being permanently
incorporated in the trailer itself. Refrigerated
van trailers are trailers with a wholly
enclosed cargo space comprised of fixed
sides, nose, floor and roof, with articulated
panels (doors) across the rear and
occasionally at selected places on the sides,
with the cargo space being permanently
incorporated in the trailer and being
insulated, possessing specific thermal
properties intended for use with selfcontained refrigeration systems. Flatbed (or
platform) trailers consist of load-carrying
main frames and a solid, flat or stepped
loading deck or floor permanently
incorporated with and supported by frame
rails and cross members.
The finished and unfinished chassis
subject to this investigation are typically
classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS) at subheadings:
8716.39.0090 and 8716.90.5060. Imports of
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
finished and unfinished chassis may also
enter under HTSUS subheading
8716.90.5010. While the HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise under investigation is
dispositive.

SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\17MYN1.SGM
17MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 93 / Monday, May 17, 2021 / Notices
Council (IAC) is established in
accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended, 5 U.S.C. App., to advise the
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) on
matters relating to the promotion and
retention of foreign direct investment in
the United States (FDI).
SelectUSA is accepting applications
for membership on the IAC. The IAC
functions solely as an advisory
committee. The IAC shall advise the
Secretary on U.S. government policies
and programs that affect FDI; identify
and recommend programs and policies
to help the United States attract and
retain FDI; and recommend ways to
support the position of the United States
as the world’s preeminent destination
for FDI. The IAC shall act as a liaison
among the stakeholders represented by
the membership and shall provide a
forum for the stakeholders on current
and emerging issues regarding FDI. The
IAC shall report to the Secretary on its
activities and recommendations
regarding FDI. In creating its reports, the
IAC should survey and evaluate the
investment and investment-facilitating
activities of stakeholders, should
identify and examine specific problems
facing potential foreign investors, and
should examine the needs of
stakeholders to inform the IAC’s efforts.
The IAC should recommend specific
solutions to the problems and needs that
it identifies.
The IAC shall consist of no more than
twenty members appointed by the
Secretary. Members shall represent
companies and organizations investing,
seeking to invest, seeking foreign
investors, or facilitating investment
across many sectors, including but not
limited to:
U.S.-incorporated companies that are
majority-owned by foreign companies or
by a foreign individual or individuals,
or that generate significant foreign direct
investment (e.g., through their supply
chains); U.S. companies or entities
whose business includes FDI-related
activities or the facilitation of FDI; and
Economic development organizations
and other U.S. governmental and nongovernmental organizations and
associations whose missions or
activities include the promotion or
facilitation of FDI.
Members shall be selected based on
their ability to carry out the objectives
of the IAC, in accordance with
applicable Department of Commerce
guidelines, in a manner that ensures
that the IAC is balanced in terms of
points of view, demographics, industry
subsector, geography of the source and
the destination of the FDI, and company
size. Members shall represent a broad
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
range of products and services and shall
be drawn from large, medium, and small
enterprises, private-sector organizations
involved in investment, and other
investment-related entities including
non-governmental organizations,
associations, and economic
development organizations.
Priority may be given to executives
(Chief Executive Officer, Executive
Chairman, President, or comparable
level of responsibility).
Members shall serve in a
representative capacity, representing the
views and interests of their sponsoring
entity and those of their particular
sector (if applicable). Members are not
special government employees and will
receive no compensation for their
participation in IAC activities. Members
will not be reimbursed for travel
expenses related to IAC activities.
Appointments to the IAC shall be made
without regard to political affiliation.
Because the IAC will advise the
Secretary on U.S. international
competitiveness in attracting and
retaining FDI, each member must be a
U.S. national.
Each member shall be appointed for a
term of two years and will serve at the
pleasure of the Secretary. The Secretary
may at his/her discretion reappoint any
member to an additional term or terms,
provided that the member proves to
work effectively on the IAC and that
his/her knowledge and advice is still
needed.
The Secretary shall designate a Chair
and Vice Chair from among the
members.
The IAC will meet a minimum of two
times a year with, to the extent
practical, additional meetings called at
the discretion of the Secretary or his/her
designee. Meetings will be held in
Washington, DC or elsewhere in the
United States, or by teleconference, as
feasible. Members are expected to attend
a majority of IAC meetings.
To be considered for membership,
submit the following information by
5:00 p.m. EDT on June 30, 2021 to the
email address listed in the ADDRESSES
section:
1. Name and title of the individual
