## 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),                           ( print page 2595)                        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 company-specific 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] 

                    Interested parties are invited to comment on the completeness of this monthly list of scope ruling applications received by Commerce. Any comments should be submitted to James Maeder, Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, via email to                     *CommerceCLU@trade.gov.*

This notice of scope ruling applications filed in AD and CVD proceedings is published in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(3).

Dated: January 12, 2022.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.

2.                             Loveday Lumber's wood reveal strips are LWS wood products with scarf joints. The wood used to make the strips is of the Paulownia species. They come in mainly triangle forms and trapezoid forms.                    

Loveday Lumber's triangular wood reveals are known as edge form chamfers. They are scarf-jointed LWS wood products used for bracing, blocking, and/or temporary structural forming. A chamfer is “a corner beveled at a 45-degree angle and is created by placing a three-cornered piece of wood or other material, called a chamfer strip (or sometimes a cant strip) in the corner of the formwork.” The triangular wood reveals Loveday Lumber imports are of the following dimensions:
      - 3/4                        ″ x                         3/4                        ″ legs x 1                        1/16                        ″ hypotenuse;                    
      - 1″ x 1″ legs x 17/16                        ″ hypotenuse; and                    
      - 11/16                        ″ x 1                        1/16                         legs x 1                        1/2                        ″ hypotenuse.                    

Loveday Lumber's trapezoid wood reveals have a trapezoid cross section. They come in the following dimensions:
      - 1/2                        ″ thick x 3″ base x 2″ top;                    
      - 3/4                        ″ thick x 1                        3/4                        ″ base x                         3/4                        ″ top;                    
      - 3/4                        ″ thick x 2″ base x                         1/2                        ″ top;                    
      - 3/4                        ″ thick x 2                        1/4                        ″ base x                         3/4                        ″ top; and                    
      - 3/4                        ″ thick x 3″ base x 1                        1/2                        ″ top.                    

                        Loveday Lumber's wood squares are also LWS wood products with scarf joints. The wood used is of the Paulownia species. The wood squares are also called expansion joints. They come in several different sizes according to customers' needs, but a common configuration is                         1/2                        ″ x                         1/2                        ″ x 60″. All these lengthwise sawn wood products are scarf jointed. A scarf joint is “an end joint formed by joining with adhesive the ends of two pieces that have been tapered or beveled to for sloping plane surfaces, usually to a featheredge, and with the same slope of the plane in respect to the length in both pieces” whereas a finger joint is “an end joint made up of several meshing wedges or fingers of wood bonded together with an adhesive”.

3.                             Print canvas is formed from 300D/96F polyester woven fabric woven from 100% recycled polyester yarn. The polyester woven fabric is then primed (coated with gesso). Once the priming process is complete, the primed woven canvas is coated with alumina (an ink-receptive top coat). The ink-receptive alumina coating consists of a proprietary mixture. The alumina is a top coat applied over the layers of gesso.                    

The print canvas is described on the commercial invoice as HP Recycled Satin Canvas. The print canvas is a finished article of commerce known in the trade by multiple names including artist canvas, print canvas, pre-jet canvas, or base canvas (hereinafter “print canvas”). The print canvas was imported into United States as a finished roll in the dimensions of 60″ x 50″. Future shipments of the print canvas will be imported into the United States as master rolls in dimensions of 24″up to 73″ wide and 500 to 15,000 feet in length or as finished rolls in the following dimensions: 24″ x 50′, 36″ x 50′, 42″ x 0′, 44″ x 0′, 50″ x 50′, 54″ x 50′, 60″ x 50′, or any other widths and lengths.

4.                             Walt Disney Parks & Resorts U.S., Inc.'s (Disney) beverage centers are made of plywood and plastic laminate. The ASM-109 and ASM-109A models include a powder coated metal frame. The beverage centers are designed to be free-standing pieces of furniture that are not designed for permanent installation. While they are designed to be free-standing, because of the risk of tip-over and height of the furniture, Disney uses a cable on the centers to affix them to the wall of the hotel room.
