1See Regulations to Improve Administration and 

Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing 

Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300, 52316 (September 20, 

2021) (Final Rule) (‘‘It is our expectation that the 

Federal Register list will include, where 

appropriate, for each scope application the 

following data: (1) identification of the AD and/or 

CVD orders at issue; (2) a concise public summary 

of the product’s description, including the physical 

characteristics (including chemical, dimensional 

and technical characteristics) of the product; (3) the 

country(ies) where the product is produced and the 

country from where the product is exported; (4) the 

full name of the applicant; and (5) the date that the 

scope application was filed with Commerce.’’) 

2The products are aluminum heat sinks 

manufactured using aluminum extrusions and 

designed to meet certain thermal performance 

requirements. The heat sinks are used to dissipate 

heat from pump diodes and fiber components of the 

fiber laser modules manufactured by IPG Photonics. 

The heat sinks are made from series AL 6063–5 

aluminum. The heat sinks have a flat surface 

tolerance of ≤0.0079 inches. 

3The products are wheeled 30′′ x 60′′ platform or 

flatbed utility carts with a rated load capacity of 

2,000 lbs. that are ergonomically designed for 

worker safety and constructed of lightweight 

extruded aluminum tubes, aluminum plate, 

handles, and steel and rubber or polyurethane 

wheels. Cargo is loaded on the cargo deck and the 

cart is operated by pushing or pulling the cart in 

an orientation horizontal to the ground. The cart is 

not designed and cannot operate to transport cargo 

vertically, or in an upright orientation. The 

products are packaged and imported as complete 

kits, to be assembled by the purchaser/end user. 

4The products are large diameter welded pipe 

with 18 inches outside diameter, 0.688 inches or 

greater wall thickness, and steel grade L450, for use 

of conveyance of gas, oil, and other liquids, 

generally in a pipeline or utility distribution 

system. 

gray cast iron, whether finished or 

unfinished, with an actual or nominal inside 

diameter of 14.75 inches or more but not over 

16.6 inches, weighing more than 50 pounds. 

Unfinished brake drums are those which 

have undergone some turning or machining 

but are not ready for installation. Subject 

brake drums are included within the scope 

whether imported individually or with nonsubject merchandise (for example, a hub), 

whether assembled or unassembled, or if 

joined with non-subject merchandise. When 

a subject drum is imported together with 

non-subject merchandise, such as, but not 

limited to, a drum-hub assembly, only the 

subject drum is covered by the scope. 

Subject merchandise also includes finished 

and unfinished brake drums that are further 

processed in a third country or in the United 

States, including, but not limited to, 

assembly or any other processing that would 

not otherwise remove the merchandise from 

the scope of this investigation if performed 

in the country of manufacture of the subject 

brake drums. The inclusion, attachment, 

joining, or assembly of non-subject 

merchandise with subject drums either in the 

country of manufacture of the subject drum 

or in a third country does not remove the 

subject drum from the scope. Specifically 

excluded is merchandise covered by the 

scope of the antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders on certain chassis and 

subassemblies thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China. See Certain Chassis and 

Subassemblies Thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 

86 FR 36093 (July 8, 2021) and Certain 

Chassis and Subassemblies Thereof From the 

People’s Republic of China: Countervailing 

Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative 

Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR 

24844 (May 10, 2021). 

The scope also excludes composite brake 

drums that contain more than 40 percent 

steel by weight. 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is classifiable under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS) subheading 8708.30.5020. 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation may be classifiable under 

HTSUS subheading 8708.30.5090 when 

entered as part of an assembly. Subject 

merchandise may also enter under HTSUS 

subheading 8716.90.5060. Although the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

covered by this investigation is dispositive.

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
