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 or 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
and 11.25 inches long, tied into a bow. The length
of ribbon is folded into two loops and knotted in
the center around a twist tie to form the decorative
bow. The bow is 2.5 inches long and is stitched to
a twist tie that is 4.25 inches long.
3 The products are solid edge-glued boards made
of white birch measuring 8-feet in length and 5/8inches thick. The height of each board varies from
2.5 to 12 inches. The boards are finger-jointed and
edge-glued. A UV coating is applied to the boards
except for the bottom edge that is left uncoated/
unfinished. The corners of the boards are lightly
sanded to smooth the corners to 1/16 of an inch.
4 The products are monopiles, which are driven
into the seabed. Monopiles can be designed to
directly interface with the tower section of a wind
turbine or connect via a transition piece. Monopiles
are welded together at the fabrication point and
shipped to the installation point in one piece
ranging from 80 to 130 meters in length, however,
every monopile is specifically designed for the
exact location in which it will be installed.
5 The products are fresh garlic that is peeled and
separated into cloves. The garlic is cleaned using
water, boiled in water for 90 seconds, and then
quick-frozen. The importer purchases the product
from 3 companies in China and then exports it into
the United States from Canada under HTS
0710.80.7060.

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 nonbusiness 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 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
Interested parties are invited to
comment on the completeness of this
monthly list of scope ruling applications
received by Commerce. Any comments
should be submitted to James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD
Operations, Enforcement and
Compliance, International Trade
Administration, via email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The NSTC Public Private-Sector
Consortium
The Department has a once-in-ageneration opportunity to establish a
transformative center for the U.S. to lead
in advanced semiconductor R&D,
manufacturing, and workforce
initiatives for decades to come. The
NSTC will provide a platform where
government, industry, customers,
suppliers, educational institutions,
community colleges, large companies,
small companies, startups, workforce
representatives, investors, and
international allies and partners
collaborate. A successful NSTC will
advance critical semiconductor research
and development, while reducing the
time and cost of bringing technologies to
market. By integrating efforts across a
complex ecosystem, the NSTC will
expand access to facilities and resources
and allow industry, academia and
government to build on each other’s

work. The Department expects that the
NSTC will consist of a headquarters
facility and an integrated network of
NSTC-affiliated technical centers with
locations geographically distributed to
leverage existing capabilities. It will
start an investment fund that enables
future innovations in early-stage
companies and will create programs that
strengthen and expand the
semiconductor workforce. To read more
about the Department’s vision and
strategy for the NSTC, see the NSTC
White Paper available at https://
www.nist.gov/document/vision-andstrategy-national-semiconductortechnology-center.
As set forth in the CHIPS Act,1 the
NSTC will be established by the
Secretary of Commerce, in collaboration
with the Secretary of Defense, and
operated as a public private-sector
consortium. The Department has also
reviewed the governance structures of
various existing consortia and similar
research centers to identify the best
features to incorporate into the
governance of the NSTC. To best
effectuate its vision and the goals of the
CHIPS Act, the Department has
determined that the consortium requires
a dedicated operator with world-class
leadership and a public interest focus.
The Department anticipates that a new,
purpose-built, independent, non-profit
entity will serve in this role.
