following day—day 31.4 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.5 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.6
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 further information on procedures
for filing information with Commerce
through ACCESS and participating in
scope inquiries, please refer to the
Filing Instructions section of the Scope
Ruling Application Guide, at https://
access.trade.gov/help/Scope_Ruling_
Guidance.pdf. Interested parties, apart
from the scope ruling applicant, who
wish to participate in a scope inquiry
and be added to the public service list
for that segment of the proceeding must
file an entry of appearance in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.103(d)(1)
and 19 CFR 351.225(n)(4). Interested
parties are advised to refer to the case
segment in ACCESS as well as 19 CFR
jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
4 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.
5 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).
6 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.

On December 1, 2021, the domestic
interested parties filed timely and
adequate substantive responses, within
the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce did not
receive adequate substantive responses
from any respondent interested party,
nor was a hearing requested.6 As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), we determine
that the respondent interested parties
did not provide an adequate response to
the notice of initiation and, therefore,
Commerce conducted expedited (120day) sunset reviews of the Orders.
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by the
Orders is CWP from Oman, Pakistan,
and the UAE. For a complete
description of the scope of the Orders,
see the Issues and Decision
