For the company for which this
review is rescinded, we will instruct
CBP to assess countervailing duties on
all appropriate entries at a rate equal to
the cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, during the
period January 1, 2022, through
December 31, 2022, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). We intend to
issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal

For the company remaining in the
review, we intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review in the

filed at the U.S. Court of International

entries until the time for parties to file
a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Act, Commerce intends, upon
publication of the final results, to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the
amount shown for the company (and its
cross-owned affiliates) listed above on
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review. For all nonreviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to
continue to collect cash deposits at the

others rate applicable to the company.
These cash deposit requirements, when

2 The products are temporary-use spare tires with
a ‘‘T’’ prefix on the sidewall markings. The
numerical size designation is 155/60R18.
3 The products are aluminum extrusion parts
made of 6063 aluminum, including vacuum and
mop handles, mop heads, and mop trowels, that are
imported as mop and vacuum parts assemblies. The

language but are physically unsuitable for use on
road or highway trailers or other towable

found to be out of scope for another importer based
on key physical characteristics of rim size, bolt
patterns, offset and load capacity.

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.

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.
