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 31.5 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.6 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.7
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

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

with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(3).
5 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
