HPC pea protein may also be identified as, for example, pea protein concentrate, pea protein isolate, hydrolyzed pea protein, pea peptides, and fermented pea protein. Pea protein, including HPC pea protein, has the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number 222400–29–5. The scope covers HPC pea protein in all physical forms, including all liquid (e.g., solution) and solid (e.g., powder) forms, regardless of packaging or the inclusion of additives (e.g., flavoring, suspension agents, preservatives). The scope also includes HPC pea protein described above that is blended, combined, or mixed with non-subject pea protein or with other ingredients (e.g., proteins derived from other sources, fibers, carbohydrates, sweeteners, and fats) to make products such as protein powders, dry beverage blends, and protein fortified beverages. For any such blended, combined, or mixed products, only the HPC pea protein component is covered by the scope of these orders. HPC pea protein that has been blended, combined, or mixed with other products is included within the scope, regardless of whether the blending, combining, or mixing occurs in third countries. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Aug 23, 2024 Jkt 262001 HPC pea protein that is otherwise within the scope is covered when commingled (i.e., blended, combined, or mixed) with HPC pea protein from sources not subject to these orders. Only the subject component of the commingled product is covered by the scope. A blend, combination, or mixture is excluded from the scope if the total HPC pea protein content of the blend, combination, or mixture (regardless of the source or sources) comprises less than five percent of the blend, combination, or mixture on a dry weight basis. All products that meet the written physical description are within the scope of these orders unless specifically excluded. The following products, by way of example, are outside and/or specifically excluded from the scope of these orders: • burgers, snack bars, bakery products, sugar and gum confectionary products, milk, cheese, baby food, sauces and seasonings, and pet food, even when such products are made with HPC pea protein; • HPC pea protein that has gone through an extrusion process to alter the HPC pea protein at the structural and functional level, resulting in a product with a fibrous structure which resembles muscle meat upon hydration. These products are commonly described as textured pea protein or texturized pea protein; • HPC pea protein that has been further processed to create a small crunchy nugget commonly described as a pea protein crisp; • protein derived from chickpeas. The merchandise covered by the scope is currently classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) categories 3504.00.1000, 3504.00.5000, and 2106.10.0000. Such merchandise may also enter the U.S. market under HTSUS category 2308.00.9890. Although HTSUS categories and the CAS registry number are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope is dispositive.

roundtable regarding overseas competitiveness of U.S. companies using, 
or planning to incorporate, AI in how they produce and commercialize 
biopharmaceuticals. Participants will be encouraged to provide any 
relevant feedback on this issue during the roundtable, which may 
include comments on the following non-exhaustive list of possible 
topics:
     With the introduction of technologies such as foundational 
models and general-purpose AI, what regulatory and policy shifts is 
your company monitoring in global markets that might affect adoption of 
AI in the production and commercialization of biopharmaceuticals? How 
do you anticipate these changes may affect your company's global 
competitiveness?

[[Page 68395]]

landscapes, present the most promising commercial environments for 
adopting AI in the biopharmaceutical industry, from your experience?
     How do you assess the potential for public-private 
partnerships (P3s) to support efforts in the healthcare sector to adopt 
AI in the development and commercialization of biopharmaceuticals in 
global markets? What would a successful P3 in this space look like?
     What kinds of strategic international engagements do you 
believe would be most effective in creating a more conducive 
environment for the U.S. biopharmaceutical industry to adopt AI and 
strengthen its competitiveness in overseas markets?
     What kinds of trade barriers are you seeing or 
anticipating that might negatively affect U.S. competitiveness? Where 
do you encounter these barriers? How do you think the barriers can be 
reduced, removed, or prevented?
