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.\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

[[Page 5488]]

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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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 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 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.
