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 

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 further information on procedures 

for filing information with Commerce 

through ACCESS and participating in 

scope inquiries, please refer to the 

Filing Instructions section of the Scope 

Ruling Application Guide, at https://

access.trade.gov/help/Scope_Ruling_

Guidance.pdf. Interested parties, apart 

from the scope ruling applicant, who 

wish to participate in a scope inquiry 

and be added to the public service list 

for that segment of the proceeding must 

file an entry of appearance in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.103(d)(1) 

and 19 CFR 351.225(n)(4). Interested 

parties are advised to refer to the case 

segment in ACCESS as well as 19 CFR 

351.225(f) for further information on the 

scope inquiry procedures, including the 

timelines for the submission of 

comments. 

Please note that this notice of scope 

ruling applications filed in AD and CVD 

proceedings may be published before 

any potential initiation, or after the 

initiation, of a given scope inquiry 

based on a scope ruling application 

identified in this notice. Therefore, 

please refer to the case segment on 

ACCESS to determine whether a scope 

ruling application has been accepted or 

rejected and whether a scope inquiry 

has been initiated. 

Interested parties who wish to be 

served scope ruling applications for a 

particular AD or CVD order may file a 

request to be included on the annual 

inquiry service list during the 

anniversary month of the publication of 

the AD or CVD order in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.225(n) and Commerce’s 

procedures.9
