SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On October 18, 2022, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated a countervailing duty (CVD)
investigation of imports of certain
freight rail couplers and parts thereof
from the People’s Republic of China.1
Currently, the preliminary
determination is due no later than
December 22, 2022.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a CVD investigation
within 65 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act
permits Commerce to postpone the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation if:
(A) the petitioner makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B)
Commerce concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and that additional time is
necessary to make a preliminary
determination. Under 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a
request for postponement 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must
state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny it.

On November 21, 2022, the Coalition
of Freight Coupler Producers (the
petitioner) timely filed a request for
Commerce to postpone the preliminary
CVD determination so that Commerce
may review all questionnaire responses
and new factual information to permit a
thorough investigation and the
calculation of accurate subsidy rates.2
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the
reasons for requesting a postponement
of the preliminary determination, and
Commerce finds no compelling reason
to deny the request. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, Commerce is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determination to no later than the next
business day after 130 days after the
date on which this investigation was
initiated, i.e., February 27, 2023.3
Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline
for the final determination of this
investigation will continue to be 75 days
after the date of the preliminary
determination.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

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),
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

solar cells manufactured in Cambodia using
Chinese unfinished silicon wafers. The
merchandise subject to this scope application is
classified under HTSUS number 8541.43.00.
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.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) finds that
revocation of the countervailing duty
(CVD) order on stainless steel sheet and
strip in coils (sheet and strip) from the
Republic of Korea (Korea) would likely
lead to the continuation or recurrence of
a countervailable subsidy at the levels
indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of the
Sunset Review’’ section of this notice.

producers of sheet and strip in the
United States.
Commerce received an adequate
substantive response from the domestic
interested parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). However, Commerce
did not receive a substantive response
from any government or respondent
interested party to this proceeding.
On October 25, 2022, Commerce
notified the U.S. International Trade
Commission that it did not receive an
adequate substantive response from
respondent interested parties.3 As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order
consists of stainless steel sheet and strip
in coils from Korea. Stainless steel is
alloy steel containing, by weight, 1.2
percent or less of carbon and 10.5
percent or more of chromium, with or
without other elements. The subject
sheet and strip is a flat-rolled product in
coils that is greater than 9.5 mm in
width and less than 4.75 mm in
thickness, and that is annealed or
otherwise heat treated and pickled or
otherwise descaled. The subject sheet
and strip may also be further processed
(e.g., cold-rolled, polished, aluminized,
coated, etc.) provided that it maintains
the specific dimensions of sheet and
strip following such processing.
The merchandise subject to the Order
is classified in the Harmonized Tariff

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), 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 day 30 and day 31 to be
separate business days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[Page 74130]]
characteristics) as the product at issue, on a country-wide basis,
regardless of the producer, exporter, or importer of those products, or
on a company-specific 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 351.225(f) for
further information on the scope inquiry procedures, including the
timelines for the submission of comments.
Please note that this notice of scope ruling applications filed in
AD and CVD proceedings may be published before any potential
initiation, or after the initiation, of a given scope inquiry based on
a scope ruling application identified in this notice. Therefore, please
refer to the case segment on ACCESS to determine whether a scope ruling
application has been accepted or rejected and whether a scope inquiry
has been initiated.
Interested parties who wish to be served scope ruling applications
for a particular AD or CVD order may file a request to be included on
the annual inquiry service list during the anniversary month of the
publication of the AD or CVD order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(n)
and Commerce's procedures.\9\
