for parties to address scope issues in 

scope-specific case and rebuttal briefs.5

Between May 22, 2024, and June 24, 

2024, Commerce received postpreliminary determination scope 

comments from interested parties 

regarding numerous products and 

scope-related issues. Between July 20, 

2024, and August 19, 2024, Commerce 

received scope case and rebuttal briefs 

from numerous interested parties. We 

made changes to the scope of the 

investigation from the scope published 

in the Preliminary Determination, as 

noted in Appendix I.6

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs by parties 

are discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. For a list of the topics 

discussed, and the issues raised by 

parties to which we responded in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum, see 

Appendix II. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

between May 7 through May 17, 2024, 

Commerce conducted verifications of 

the subsidy information reported by the 

Government of Mexico, Aluminio de 

Baja California S.A. de C.V. (ABC) and 

Aluminio Texcoco S.A. de C.V. 

(ALUTEX).7 We used standard 

verification procedures, including an 

examination of relevant accounting 

records and original source documents 

provided by the respondents. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found to be countervailable, 

Commerce determines that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by 

an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.8 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our final determination, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

In making this final determination, 

Commerce relied, in part, on facts 

otherwise available, including adverse 

facts available (AFA), pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For 

a full discussion of our application of 

AFA, see the section ‘‘Use of Facts 

Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in 

the accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the information received during 

verification and comments received 

from parties, for this final 

determination, we made certain changes 

to the countervailable subsidy rate 

calculations for ABC and ALUTEX and 

for all other producers/exporters. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of 

the Act, Commerce will determine an 

all-others rate equal to the weighted 

average countervailable subsidy rates 

established for those exporters and/or 

producers individually investigated, 

excluding any zero and de minimis 

countervailable subsidy rates and any 

rates based entirely under section 776 of 

the Act. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

calculated individual estimated 

countervailable subsidy rates for ABC 

and ALUTEX. The individually 

calculated rate for ABC is above de 

minimis. Because the individually 

calculated rate for ALUTEX is de 

minimis and the other rates we assigned 

are based entirely under section 776 of 

the Act, the estimated weighted-average 

rate calculated for ABC is the rate 

assigned to all other producers and 

exporters, pursuant to section 

705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated countervailable 

subsidy rates exist for the period of 

January 1, 2022, through December 31, 

2022: 9

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this final 

determination within five days of its 

public announcement, or if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of the publication of this 

notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination, and pursuant to sections 

703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, 

Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash 

deposits and suspend liquidation of 

entries of subject merchandise as 

described in the scope of the 

investigation section entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after March 11, 

2024, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register, except for ALUTEX 

and its cross-owned companies because 

ALUTEX’s preliminary rate was de 

minimis. In accordance with section 

703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to 

discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, on or after July 9, 2024, but 

to continue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise that were subject to 

suspension of liquidation on or before 

July 8, 2024. 

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a countervailing duty order, 

reinstate the suspension of liquidation 

under section 706(a) of the Act, and 

require a cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties for such entries of 

subject merchandise, other than those 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
80498 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2024 / Notices 

produced and exported by ALUTEX and 

its cross-owned companies because 

ALUTEX’s rate is de minimis, in the 

amounts indicated above. If the ITC 

determines that material injury, or 

threat of material injury, does not exist, 

this proceeding will be terminated, and 

all estimated duties deposited or 

securities posted as a result of the 

suspension of liquidation will be 

refunded or canceled. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC 

of its final affirmative determination 

that countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

aluminum extrusions from Mexico. As 

Commerce’s final determination is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

705(b) of the Act, the ITC will 

determine, within 45 days, whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

aluminum extrusions from Mexico. In 

addition, we are making available to the 

ITC all non-privileged and nonproprietary information related to this 

investigation. We will allow the ITC 

access to all privileged and business 

proprietary information in our files, 

provided the ITC confirms that it will 

not disclose such information, either 

publicly or under an administrative 

protective order (APO), without the 

written consent of the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. If the ITC determines that 

material injury or threat of material 

injury does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated and all cash deposits 

will be refunded. If the ITC determines 

that such injury does exist, Commerce 

will issue a countervailing duty order 

directing CBP to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, 

countervailing duties on all imports of 

the subject merchandise, other than 

those produced and exported by 

ALUTEX and its cross-owned 

companies because ALUTEX’s rate is de 

minimis, that are entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the effective date of the suspension 

of liquidation, as discussed above in the 

‘‘Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation’’ section. 

Administrative Protective Order 

In the event that the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to the APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This final determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 705(d) 

and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(c). 

Dated: September 26, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation are aluminum extrusions, 

regardless of form, finishing, or fabrication, 

whether assembled with other parts or 

unassembled, whether coated, painted, 

anodized, or thermally improved. Aluminum 

extrusions are shapes and forms, produced 

by an extrusion process, made from 

aluminum alloys having metallic elements 

corresponding to the alloy series designations 

published by the Aluminum Association 

commencing with the numbers 1, 3, and 6 (or 

proprietary equivalents or other certifying 

body equivalents). Specifically, subject 

aluminum extrusions made from an 

aluminum alloy with an Aluminum 

Association series designation commencing 

with the number 1 contain not less than 99 

percent aluminum by weight. Subject 

aluminum extrusions made from an 

aluminum alloy with an Aluminum 

Association series designation commencing 

with the number 3 contain manganese as the 

major alloying element, with manganese 

accounting for not more than 3.0 percent of 

total materials by weight. Subject aluminum 

extrusions made from an aluminum alloy 

with an Aluminum Association series 

designation commencing with the number 6 

contain magnesium and silicon as the major 

alloying elements, with magnesium 

accounting for at least 0.1 percent but not 

more than 2.0 percent of total materials by 

weight, and silicon accounting for at least 0.1 

percent but not more than 3.0 percent of total 

materials by weight. The scope also includes 

merchandise made from an aluminum alloy 

with an Aluminum Association series 

designation commencing with the number 5 

(or proprietary equivalents or other certifying 

body equivalents) that have a magnesium 

content accounting for up to but not more 

than 2.0 percent of total materials by weight. 

The country of origin of the aluminum 

extrusion is determined by where the metal 

is extruded (i.e., pressed through a die). 

Aluminum extrusions are produced and 

imported in a wide variety of shapes and 

forms, including, but not limited to, hollow 

profiles, other solid profiles, pipes, tubes, 

bars, and rods. Aluminum extrusions that are 

drawn subsequent to extrusion (drawn 

aluminum) are also included in the scope. 

Subject aluminum extrusions are produced 

and imported with a variety of coatings and 

surface treatments, and types of fabrication. 

The types of coatings and treatments applied 

to aluminum extrusions include, but are not 

limited to, extrusions that are mill finished 

(i.e., without any coating or further 

finishing), brushed, buffed, polished, 

anodized (including bright dip), liquid 

painted, electroplated, chromate converted, 

powder coated, sublimated, wrapped, and/or 

bead blasted. Subject aluminum extrusions 

may also be fabricated, i.e., prepared for 

assembly, or thermally improved. Such 

operations would include, but are not limited 

to, extrusions that are cut-to-length, 

machined, drilled, punched, notched, bent, 

stretched, stretch-formed, hydroformed, 

knurled, swedged, mitered, chamfered, 

threaded, spun, etched, and engraved. 

Performing such operations in third countries 

does not otherwise remove the merchandise 

from the scope of the investigation. 

The types of products that meet the 

definition of subject merchandise include but 

are not limited to, the aluminum extrusion 

portions of vehicle roof rails and sun/moon 

roof framing, solar panel racking rails and 

framing, tradeshow display fixtures and 

framing, parts for tents or clear span 

structures, fence posts, drapery rails or rods, 

electrical conduits, door thresholds, flooring 

trim, electric vehicle battery trays, heat sinks, 

signage or advertising poles, telescoping 

poles, or cleaning system components. 

Aluminum extrusions may be heat sinks, 

which are fabricated aluminum extrusions 

that dissipate heat away from a heat source 

and may serve other functions, such as 

structural functions. Heat sinks come in a 

variety of sizes and shapes, including but not 

limited to a flat electronic heat sink, which 

is a solid aluminum extrusion with at least 

one flat side used to mount electronic or 

mechanical devices; a heat sink that is a 

housing for electronic controls or motors; 

lighting heat sinks, which dissipate heat 

away from LED devices; and process and 

exchange heat sinks, which are tube 

extrusions with fins or plates used to hold 

radiator tubing. Heat sinks are included in 

the scope, regardless of whether the design 

and production of the heat sinks are 

organized around meeting specified thermal 

performance requirements and regardless of 

whether they have been tested to comply 

with such requirements. For purposes of the 

investigations on aluminum extrusions from 

the People’s Republic of China, only heat 

sinks designed and produced around meeting 

specified thermal performance requirements 

and tested to comply with such requirements 

are included in the scope. Excluded from the 

scope of the investigation are large, multifinned extruded aluminum heat sinks 

designed to dissipate heat, meeting the 

following criteria: (1) an aspect ratio (defined 

as the ratio of the area of a void in an 

extrusion to the size of the smallest gap 

opening at the entrance of that void and 

calculated by dividing the void area by the 

square of the gap opening) greater than 15 to 

1; or (2) the circumscribing circle diameter 

(defined as the diameter of the smallest circle 

that will entirely enclose the extrusion’s 

cross-sectional profile) rounded up to the 

next half inch, exceeds 10 inches, and the 

weight-per-foot (defined as the theoretical 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2024 / Notices 80499 

weight of the profile as extruded prior to any 

machining that may remove material and 

calculated by multiplying the area of the 

profile in square inches by 1.2) exceeds 3.50 

pounds per foot. 

Merchandise that is comprised solely of 

aluminum extrusions or aluminum 

extrusions and fasteners, whether assembled 

at the time of importation or unassembled, is 

covered by the scope in its entirety. A 

fastener is any material or part that serves an 

attachment function, fastens two or more 

components, or serves to prevent or restrict 

movement of a component or another item. 

Examples of fasteners include, but are not 

limited to, nuts, bolts, clamps, and end caps. 

The scope also includes aluminum 

extrusions contained in merchandise that is 

a part or subassembly of a larger whole, 

whether or not the merchandise also contains 

a component other than aluminum 

extrusions that is beyond a fastener. Such 

merchandise may be either assembled or 

unassembled at the time of importation. A 

‘‘part or subassembly’’ is defined as a unit 

designed to be attached to, or incorporated 

with, one or more other units or components 

into a larger completed product. Only the 

aluminum extrusion portion of the 

merchandise described in this paragraph, 

whether assembled or unassembled, is 

subject merchandise included in the scope 

and subject to duties. Examples of 

merchandise that is a part or subassembly of 

a larger whole include, but are not limited to, 

window parts or subassemblies; door unit 

parts or subassemblies; shower and bath 

parts or subassemblies; solar panel mounting 

systems; fenestration system parts or 

subassemblies, such as units which make up 

a curtain wall, and window walls and 

window wall units, which collectively make 

up a fenestration system on the side of a 

building; and parts or subassemblies of 

storefronts; furniture parts or subassemblies; 

appliance parts or subassemblies, such as fin 

evaporator coils and systems for refrigerators; 

railing or deck system parts or subassemblies; 

fence system parts or subassemblies; motor 

vehicle parts or subassemblies, such as 

bumpers for motor vehicles; trailer parts or 

subassemblies, such as side walls, flooring, 

and roofings; electric vehicle charging station 

parts or subassemblies; or signage or 

advertising system parts or subassemblies. 

Parts or subassemblies described by this 

paragraph that are subject to duties in their 

entirety pursuant to existing antidumping 

and countervailing duty orders (defined as 

those antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders that are in effect as of the date of 

publication of order resulting from this 

investigation) are excluded from the scope of 

this investigation. Any part or subassembly 

that otherwise meets the requirements of this 

scope and that is not covered by other 

antidumping and/or countervailing duty 

orders remains subject to the scope of the 

investigation. 

The scope excludes aluminum extrusions 

contained in fully and permanently 

assembled merchandise, if the assembled 

merchandise is not a part or subassembly of 

a larger whole. To be excluded under this 

paragraph, the assembled merchandise must 

also contain a component other than 

aluminum extrusions, beyond fasteners. In 

addition, to be excluded under this 

paragraph, the assembled merchandise must 

be ready for use as imported, without 

undergoing after importation any processing, 

fabrication, finishing, or assembly or the 

addition of parts or material (with the 

exception of consumable parts or material or 

interchangeable media or tooling). 

The scope also excludes aluminum 

extrusions contained in unassembled 

merchandise if the unassembled merchandise 

is not a part or subassembly of a larger whole. 

To be excluded under this paragraph, the 

unassembled merchandise must also contain 

a component other than aluminum 

extrusions, beyond fasteners. In addition, to 

be excluded under this paragraph, the 

unassembled merchandise must be a 

packaged combination of parts that is ready 

to be assembled as imported, without 

undergoing after importation any processing, 

fabrication, or finishing or the addition of 

parts or material (with the exception of 

consumable parts or material or 

interchangeable media or tooling). To be 

excluded under this paragraph, the 

unassembled merchandise must be sold and 

enter as a discrete kit on one Customs entry 

form. 

Examples of such excluded assembled and 

unassembled merchandise include windows 

with glass, door units with door panel and 

glass, motor vehicles, trailers, furniture, 

appliances, and solar panels and solar 

modules. Window walls and window wall 

units are not considered windows with glass 

for purposes of this exclusion. 

The scope also excludes merchandise 

containing multiple subassemblies of a larger 

whole with non-extruded aluminum 

components beyond fasteners. A 

subassembly that meets the definition of 

subject merchandise, including any product 

expressly identified as subject merchandise 

in this scope, can only be excluded if it is 

fully and permanently assembled with at 

least one other different subassembly, and 

where (1) at least one of the subassemblies, 

if entered individually, would not itself be 

subject to the scope; (2) the aluminum 

extrusions within the merchandise 

collectively account for 50 percent or less of 

the actual weight of the combined multiple 

subassemblies (without including any nonextruded aluminum fasteners in the 

calculations); and (3) the aluminum 

extrusions within the merchandise 

collectively account for 50 percent or less of 

the number of pieces of the combined 

multiple subassemblies (without including 

any non-extruded aluminum fasteners in the 

calculations). 

The scope also includes aluminum 

extrusions that have been further processed 

in a third country, including, but not limited 

to, the finishing and fabrication processes 

described above, assembly, whether with 

other aluminum extrusion components or 

with non-aluminum extrusion components, 

or any other processing that would not 

otherwise remove the merchandise from the 

scope if performed in the country of 

manufacture of the in-scope product. Third 

country processing; finishing; and/or 

fabrication, including those processes 

described in the scope, does not alter the 

country of origin of the subject aluminum 

extrusions.
