Appendix
Scope of the Investigations
The scope of these investigations covers
float glass products (FGP), which are articles
of soda-lime-silica glass that are
manufactured by floating a continuous strip
of molten glass over a smooth bath of tin (or
another liquid metal with a density greater
than molten glass), cooling the glass in an
annealing lehr, and cutting it to appropriate
dimensions. For purposes of the
investigations, float glass products have an
actual thickness of at least 2.0 mm (0.0787
inches) and an actual surface area of at least
0.37 square meters (4.0 square feet).
The country of origin of each float glass
product is determined by the location where
the soda-lime-silica glass is first
manufactured by floating a continuous strip
of molten glass over a smooth bath of tin and
cooling the glass in an annealing lehr,
regardless of the location of any downstream
finishing or fabrication operations.
Prior to being subjected to further
treatment, finishing, or fabrication, float glass
products meet the requirements of Type I
under ASTM–C1036 of the American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
Float glass products may be clear, stained,
tinted, or coated with one or more materials.
Examples of coated float glass products
include Low-E architectural glass (i.e., glass
with a low emissivity coating to limit the
penetration of radiant heat energy) and
frameless mirrors (i.e., flat glass with a silver,
aluminum, or other reflective layer) such as
mirror stock sheet.
Float glass products may be annealed,
chemically strengthened, heat strengthened,
or tempered to achieve a desired surface
compression, pursuant to ASTM–C1048,
ASTM–C1422/C1422M, or other similar
specifications.
Float glass products include tub and
shower enclosures (i.e., doors and panels)
made of tempered glass, which may be sold
with attached or unattached hardware. In
such cases, the scope covers only the
tempered glass, to the exclusion of any nonglass hardware.
The only float glass product assemblies
included within the scope are: (1) articles
consisting of two of more sheets of float glass
that are bonded together using a polymer
interlayer (i.e., laminated glass); (2)
insulating glass units (IGUs), which consist
of two or more sheets of float glass separated
by a spacer material and hermetically sealed
together at the edge in order to create a
thermal barrier using air or one or more
gases; and (3) LED mirrors (i.e., float glass
mirrors with one or more light-emitting
diodes integrated with the mirror, as well as
framed float glass mirrors with one or more
light-emitting diodes integrated with the
mirror or the mirror frame, but without other
electronic functionality).

Float glass products covered by the scope
may meet one or more of the ASTM–C162,
ASTM–C1036, ASTM–C1048, ASTM–C1172,
ASTM–C1349, ASTM–C1376, ASTM–C1422/
C1422M, ASTM–C1464, ASTM–C1503,
ASTM–C1651, ASTM–E1300, and ASTM–
E2190 specifications, definitions, and/or
standards.
Float glass products may be further
worked, including, but not limited to,
operations such as: cutting; beveling; edging;
notching; drilling; etching; bending; curving;
chipping; embossing; engraving; surface
grinding; or polishing; and sandblasting (i.e.,
using high velocity air to stream abrasive
particles and thereby impart a frosted
aesthetic to the glass surface). A float glass
product which undergoes further work
remains within the scope so long as the sodalime-silica glass originally satisfied the
requirements of ASTM–C1036 Type I and
was first manufactured in a subject country,
regardless of where it is further worked.
Excluded from the scope are: (1) wired
glass (i.e., glass with a layer of wire mesh
embedded within); (2) patterned flat glass
(i.e., rolled glass with a pattern impressed on
one or both sides) meeting the requirements
of Type II under ASTM–C1036, including
greenhouse glass and patterned solar glass
(i.e., photovoltaic glass with a textured
surface); (3) safety glazing materials for
vehicles certified to American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Z26.1;
(4) vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units,
which consist of two or more sheets of float
glass separated by a spacer material, with at
least one hermetically sealed compartment
that uses a gas-free vacuum as a thermal
barrier; (5) framed mirrors without any LEDs
integrated with the mirror or the mirror
frame; (6) unframed ‘‘over-the-door’’ mirrors
that are ready for use as imported without
undergoing after importation any processing,
finishing, or fabrication; and (7) heatstrengthened washing machine lid glass with
an actual surface area less than 6.0 square
feet (0.56 square meters).
Also excluded from the scope of the
investigations are: (1) soda-lime-silica glass
containing less than 0.01 percent iron oxide
by weight, annealed with a surface
compression less than 3,500 pounds per
square inch (PSI), having a transparent
conductive oxide base coating (e.g., tin
oxide), and with an actual thickness less than
or equal to 4.0 mm (0.1575 inches) (i.e.,
‘‘coated solar glass’’); and (2) heat treated
soda-lime-silica glass with a surface
compression between 3,500 and 10,000 PSI,
containing two or more drilled holes, and
having an actual thickness less than 2.5 mm
(0.0984 inches) (i.e., ‘‘clear back solar glass’’).
Solar glass products (also known as
photovoltaic glass) are designed to facilitate
the conversion of solar energy into
electricity.
Also excluded from the scope of the
investigations are any products already
covered by the scope of any extant
antidumping and/or countervailing duty
orders, including Aluminum Extrusions from
the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping
Duty Order, 76 FR 30650 (May 26, 2011), and
Aluminum Extrusions from the People’s
Republic of China: Countervailing Duty
Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Under section 318(d) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery and
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) [16 U.S.C.
1801, et seq.], as amended by the
Sustainable Fisheries Act [Pub. L. 104–
297], the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) is required to promulgate
regulations that create an expedited,
uniform, and regionally-based process
to promote issuance, where practicable,
of experimental fishing permits.
Regulations under 50 CFR 648.12 and
50 CFR 600.745 establish processes for
scientific research plans as well as
exempted fishing and exempted
educational activities that are exempted
from applicable fishing regulations.
Fishing regulations do not generally
affect scientific research activities
conducted by a scientific research
vessel. Persons planning to conduct
such research are encouraged to submit
a scientific research plan to ensure that
the activities are considered research
and not fishing. The researchers are
requested to submit reports of their
scientific research activity after its
completion. Eligible researchers on
board federally permitted fishing vessels
that plan to temporarily possess fish in
a manner not compliant with applicable
fishing regulations for the purpose of
collecting scientific data on catch may
submit a request for a temporary
possession letter of authorization. The
researchers are requested to submit
reports of their scientific research
activity after its completion. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) may also grant exemptions from
fishery regulations for educational or
other activities (e.g., using nonregulation gear). The applications for
these exemptions must be submitted, as
well as reports on activities.
