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 31.6 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.7 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

wheels that are manufactured in Thailand using
rims manufactured in Thailand from rectangular
steel plates from China or a third country, and discs
manufactured in Thailand from circular steel plates
from China or a third country. The rims and discs
are then assembled in Thailand into steel wheels.
5 The products are steel wheels for passenger car
and light truck applications within rim sizes
ranging from 15in. outer diameter x 5in. width to
16in. outer diameter x 7in. width with bolt hole
patterns ranging from 4 hole to 8 hole with bolt
pattern spacing ranging from 3.93in. to 6.5in. with
center holes ranging from 2.12in. to 5.49in., with
offset from 10mm to 55mm and load capacity
ranging from 1003 lbs. to 2118 lbs.
6 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
is covered by the scope at issue in that alternative
segment.

will be deemed initiated on the next
business day which follows the
‘‘updated’’ 30th day.8
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 filing information with Commerce
through ACCESS and participating in
scope inquiries, please refer to the
