2 Loveday Lumber’s wood reveal strips are LWS
wood products with scarf joints. The wood used to
make the strips is of the Paulownia species. They
come in mainly triangle forms and trapezoid forms.
Loveday Lumber’s triangular wood reveals are
known as edge form chamfers. They are scarfjointed LWS wood products used for bracing,
blocking, and/or temporary structural forming. A
chamfer is ‘‘a corner beveled at a 45-degree angle
and is created by placing a three-cornered piece of
wood or other material, called a chamfer strip (or
sometimes a cant strip) in the corner of the
formwork.’’ The triangular wood reveals Loveday
Lumber imports are of the following dimensions:
• 3⁄4″ x 3⁄4″ legs x 11⁄16″ hypotenuse;
• 1″ x 1″ legs x 17⁄16″ hypotenuse; and
• 11⁄16″ x 11⁄16 legs x 11⁄2″ hypotenuse.
Loveday Lumber’s trapezoid wood reveals have a
trapezoid cross section. They come in the following
dimensions:
• 1⁄2″ thick x 3″ base x 2″ top;
• 3⁄4″ thick x 13⁄4″ base x 3⁄4″ top;
• 3⁄4″ thick x 2″ base x 1⁄2″ top;
• 3⁄4″ thick x 21⁄4″ base x 3⁄4″ top; and
• 3⁄4″ thick x 3″ base x 11⁄2″ top.
Loveday Lumber’s wood squares are also LWS
wood products with scarf joints. The wood used is
of the Paulownia species. The wood squares are
also called expansion joints. They come in several
different sizes according to customers’ needs, but a
common configuration is 1⁄2″ x 1⁄2″ x 60″. All these
lengthwise sawn wood products are scarf jointed.
A scarf joint is ‘‘an end joint formed by joining with
adhesive the ends of two pieces that have been
tapered or beveled to for sloping plane surfaces,
usually to a featheredge, and with the same slope
of the plane in respect to the length in both pieces’’
whereas a finger joint is ‘‘an end joint made up of
several meshing wedges or fingers of wood bonded
together with an adhesive’’. (See Tom Owens, Lab

Notification to Interested Parties
This list of scope ruling applications
is not an identification of scope
inquiries that have been initiated. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(1),
Agriculture (Mar. 16, 2016), https://
www.fpl.fs.fed.us/labnotes/?p=26179).
3 Print canvas is formed from 300D/96F polyester
woven fabric woven from 100% recycled polyester
yarn. The polyester woven fabric is then primed
(coated with gesso). Once the priming process is
complete, the primed woven canvas is coated with
alumina (an ink-receptive top coat). The inkreceptive alumina coating consists of a proprietary
mixture. The alumina is a top coat applied over the
layers of gesso.
The print canvas is described on the commercial
invoice as HP Recycled Satin Canvas. The print
canvas is a finished article of commerce known in
the trade by multiple names including artist canvas,
print canvas, pre-jet canvas, or base canvas
(hereinafter ‘‘print canvas’’). The print canvas was
imported into United States as a finished roll in the
dimensions of 60″ x 50″. Future shipments of the
print canvas will be imported into the United States
as master rolls in dimensions of 24″up to 73″ wide
and 500 to 15,000 feet in length or as finished rolls
in the following dimensions: 24″ x 50′, 36″ x 50′,
42″ x 0′, 44″ x 0′, 50″ x 50′, 54″ x 50′, 60″ x 50′,
or any other widths and lengths.
4 Walt Disney Parks & Resorts U.S., Inc.’s (Disney)
beverage centers are made of plywood and plastic
laminate. The ASM–109 and ASM–109A models
include a powder coated metal frame. The beverage
centers are designed to be free-standing pieces of
furniture that are not designed for permanent
installation. While they are designed to be freestanding, because of the risk of tip-over and height
of the furniture, Disney uses a cable on the centers
to affix them to the wall of the hotel room.
5 Disney’s closet systems are made of plywood
and plastic laminate and consist of an open wooden
box frame with shelving for use as storage in hotel
rooms. The closet systems do not contain any
drawers or doors.

if Commerce has not rejected a scope
ruling application nor initiated the
scope inquiry within 30 days after the
filing of the application, the application
will be deemed accepted and a scope
inquiry will be deemed initiated the
following day–day 31.6 Commerce’s
practice generally dictates that where a
deadline falls on a weekend, Federal
holiday, or other non-business day, the
appropriate deadline is the next
business day.7 Accordingly, if the 30th
day after the filing of the application
falls on a non-business day, the next
business day will be considered the
‘‘updated’’ 30th day, and if the
application is not rejected or a scope
inquiry initiated by or on that particular
business day, the application will be
deemed accepted and a scope inquiry
will be deemed initiated on the next
business day which follows the
‘‘updated’’ 30th day.8
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.225(m)(2), if there are companion
AD and CVD orders covering the same
merchandise from the same country of
origin, the scope inquiry will be
conducted on the record of the AD
proceeding. Further, please note that
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(m)(1),
Commerce may either apply a scope
ruling to all products from the same
country with the same relevant physical
characteristics, (including chemical,
dimensional, and technical
characteristics) as the product at issue,
on a country-wide basis, regardless of
the producer, exporter, or importer of
those products, or on a companyspecific basis.

for filing information with Commerce
through ACCESS and participating in
scope inquiries, please refer to the

blocking, and/or temporary structural forming. A chamfer is ``a
corner beveled at a 45-degree angle and is created by placing a
three-cornered piece of wood or other material, called a chamfer
strip (or sometimes a cant strip) in the corner of the formwork.''
The triangular wood reveals Loveday Lumber imports are of the
following dimensions:

1'' x 1'' legs x 1\7/16\'' hypotenuse; and
1\1/16\'' x 1\1/16\ legs x 1\1/2\'' hypotenuse.
Loveday Lumber's trapezoid wood reveals have a trapezoid cross

Notification to Interested Parties
This list of scope ruling applications is not an identification of
scope inquiries that have been initiated. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.225(d)(1),
[[Page 2595]]
if Commerce has not rejected a scope ruling application nor initiated
the scope inquiry within 30 days after the filing of the application,
the application will be deemed accepted and a scope inquiry will be
deemed initiated the following day-day 31.\6\ Commerce's practice
generally dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend, Federal
holiday, or other non-business day, the appropriate deadline is the
next business day.\7\ Accordingly, if the 30th day after the filing of
the application falls on a non-business day, the next business day will
be considered the ``updated'' 30th day, and if the application is not
rejected or a scope inquiry initiated by or on that particular business
day, the application will be deemed accepted and a scope inquiry will
be deemed initiated on the next business day which follows the
``updated'' 30th day.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(2), within 30 days
after the filing of a scope ruling application, if Commerce
determines that it intends to address the scope issue raised in the
application in another segment of the proceeding (such as a
circumvention inquiry under 19 CFR 351.226 or a covered merchandise
inquiry under 19 CFR 351.227), it will notify the applicant that it
will not initiate a scope inquiry, but will instead determine if the
product is covered by the scope at issue in that alternative
segment.
\7\ See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business
Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to
the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
\8\ This structure maintains the intent of the applicable
regulation, 19 CFR 351.225(d)(1), to allow a day of separation
between day 30 and day 31.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(m)(2), if there are companion AD
and CVD orders covering the same merchandise from the same country of
origin, the scope inquiry will be conducted on the record of the AD
proceeding. Further, please note that pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(m)(1),
Commerce may either apply a scope ruling to all products from the same
country with the same relevant physical characteristics, (including
chemical, dimensional, and technical characteristics) as the product at
