Extensions of Time Limits
Parties may request an extension of
time limits before the expiration of a
time limit established under 19 CFR
351.301, or as otherwise specified by
Commerce. In general, an extension
request will be considered untimely if it
is filed after the expiration of the time
limit established under 19 CFR
351.301.52 For submissions that are due
from multiple parties simultaneously,
an extension request will be considered
untimely if it is filed after 10:00 a.m. ET
on the due date. Under certain
circumstances, Commerce may elect to
specify a different time limit by which
extension requests will be considered
untimely for submissions which are due
from multiple parties simultaneously. In
such a case, we will inform parties in a
letter or memorandum of the deadline
(including a specified time) by which
extension requests must be filed to be
considered timely. An extension request
must be made in a separate, standalone
submission; under limited
circumstances we will grant untimely
filed requests for the extension of time
limits, where we determine, based on 19
CFR 351.302, that extraordinary
circumstances exist. Parties should
review Commerce’s regulations
concerning the extension of time limits
and the Time Limits Final Rule prior to
submitting factual information in these
investigations.53
Certification Requirements
Any party submitting factual
information in an AD or CVD
proceeding must certify to the accuracy
and completeness of that information.54
Parties must use the certification
formats provided in 19 CFR
351.303(g).55 Commerce intends to
reject factual submissions if the
submitting party does not comply with
the applicable certification
requirements.

Scope of the Investigations
The merchandise covered by the
investigations is certain narrow neck glass
bottles, with a nominal capacity of 740
milliliters (25.02 ounces) to 760 milliliters
(25.70 ounces); a nominal total height
between 24.8 centimeters (9.75 inches) to
35.6 centimeters (14 inches); a nominal base
diameter between 4.6 centimeters (1.8
inches) to 11.4 centimeters (4.5 inches); and
a mouth with an outer diameter of between
25 millimeters (.98 inches) to 37.9
millimeters (1.5 inches); frequently referred
to as a ‘‘wine bottle.’’ In scope merchandise
may include but is not limited to the
following shapes: Bordeaux (also known as
‘‘Claret’’), Burgundy, Hock, Champagne,
Sparkling, Port, Provence, or Alsace (also
known as ‘‘Germanic’’). In scope glass bottles

and have shapes including but not limited to,
straight-sided, a tapered slope from shoulder
(i.e., the sloping part of the bottle between
the neck and the body) to base, or a long neck
with sloping shoulders to a wider base. The
scope includes glass bottles, whether or not
clear, whether or not colored, with or
without a punt (i.e., an indentation on the
underside of the bottle), and with or without
design or functional enhancements
(including, but not limited to, embossing,
labeling, or etching). In scope merchandise is
made of non-‘‘free blown’’ glass, i.e., in scope
merchandise is produced with the use of a
mold and is distinguished by mold seams,
joint marks, or parting lines. In scope
merchandise is unfilled and may be imported
with or without a closure, including a cork,
stelvin (screw cap), crown cap, or wire cage
and cork closure.
Excluded from the scope of the
investigations are: (1) glass containers made

In
accordance with section 315 of the
Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1461), and its
implementing regulations (15 CFR part
921), and the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42
U.S.C. 4321), and its implementing
regulations (40 CFR part 1500), NOAA
and the State intend to prepare a draft
environmental impact statement for the
proposed Bay of Green Bay National
Estuarine Research Reserve. Early in the
development of this document, NOAA
and the State are required to hold a
scoping meeting to solicit public and
government comments on significant
issues related to this proposed action.
(15 CFR 921.13(c)).
NOAA received the State’s
nomination of the proposed
multicomponent site on December 29,
2022. NOAA evaluated the nomination
package and found that the proposed
site met the research reserve system’s
requirements. NOAA informed the State
in early 2024 that it was approving the
nomination and that the next step
would be to prepare a draft
environmental impact statement and
draft management plan. The draft
environmental impact statement will
assess the potential environmental and
socioeconomic impacts of designating
the State’s proposed site as a National
Estuarine Research Reserve System site,
and identify and assess the impacts of
boundary alternatives. The draft
management plan will set a course for
operating the Bay of Green Bay National
Estuarine Research Reserve once
approved, and will include plans for
administration, research, education, and

facilities for the proposed site. (See 15
CFR 921.13.)
The State’s proposed site consists of
three components, including all or
portions of the following State,
university, county, local government, or
land trust-owned properties: the
Peshtigo Harbor State Wildlife Area,
Bloch Oxbow State Natural Area, and
Badger Gift Lands; the Peats Lake,
Sensiba, Tibbet-Suamico, and Long Tail
Units within the Green Bay West Shores
Wildlife Area; the Suamico River State
Habitat Area; Barkhausen Waterfowl
Preserve; Fort Howard Wildlife Area;
Gordon Nauman Conservation Area;
Ken Euers Nature Area; Point au Sable
and Wequiock Creek Natural Areas;
Crossroads at Big Creek; the Strawberry
Creek Chinook Facility, and Sturgeon
Bay Ship Canal Nature Preserve.
The proposed site resulted from the
State’s comprehensive evaluation
process that sought input from the
public, affected landowners, and other
interested parties. The State held public
kickoff meetings in April 2021 to
describe the research reserve system,
explain the rationale for establishing a
reserve in the Bay of Green Bay, and
outline a process for selecting and
nominating a site to NOAA. The State
assembled committees composed of
State and Federal agency
representatives, Tribal Nations,
academia, non-governmental
organizations, members of the public,
and local units of government. These
committees conducted preliminary
screening, developed and applied site
selection criteria, scored those sites that
showed the most potential, and
ultimately recommended a site for the
future reserve. The State and NOAA
held public hearings on September 7
and 8, 2022, to solicit comments on the
proposed site. For more detailed
information on the site selection process
and the proposed site, see the
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s
research reserve website: uwgb.edu/
