5The 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.

30 days after the filing of a scope ruling application, 

if Commerce determines that it intends to address 

the scope issue raised in the application in another 

segment of the proceeding (such as a circumvention 

inquiry under 19 CFR 351.226 or a covered 

merchandise inquiry under 19 CFR 351.227), it will 

notify the applicant that it will not initiate a scope 

inquiry, but will instead determine if the product 

is covered by the scope at issue in that alternative 

segment.

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

For a complete description of events 

that followed the initiation of this 

investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are brake drums from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,5 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).6 Certain interested 

parties commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. Commerce intends to 

issue its preliminary decision regarding 

comments concerning the scope of the 

antidumping (AD) and CVD 

investigations in the preliminary 

determination of the companion AD 

investigations. We will incorporate the 

scope decisions from the AD 

investigations into the scope of the final 

CVD determination for this investigation 

after considering any relevant comments 

submitted in scope case and rebuttal 

briefs.7

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found to be countervailable, 

Commerce preliminarily 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 preliminary 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Commerce notes that, in making these 

findings, it relied, in part, on facts 

available, and, because it finds that 

certain companies that failed to timely 

respond to Commerce’s quantity and 

value (Q&V) questionnaire, as well as 

the Government of China, did not act to 

the best of their abilities to respond to 

Commerce’s requests for information, it 

drew an adverse inference where 

appropriate in selecting from among the 

facts otherwise available.9 For further 

information, see the ‘‘Use of Facts 

Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences’’ section in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Alignment 

In accordance with section 705(a)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), 

Commerce is aligning the final CVD 

determination in this investigation with 

the final determination in the 

concurrent AD investigation of brake 

drums from China, based on a request 

made by the petitioner.10 Consequently, 

the final CVD determination will be 

issued on the same date as the final AD 

determination, which is currently 

scheduled to be issued no later than 

April 8, 2025, unless postponed.11

All-Others Rate 

Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act provide that, in the preliminary 

determination, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. This rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any rates that are 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

under section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

preliminarily calculated total net 

subsidy rates for CAIEC Trailer Master 

Co., Ltd. (CAIEC Trailer) and Shandong 

ConMet Mechanical, Ltd. (Shandong 

ConMet) that are not zero, de minimis, 

or based entirely on the facts otherwise 

available. Because Commerce calculated 

individual estimated countervailable 

subsidy rates for CAIEC Trailer and 

Shandong ConMet that are not zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on the facts 

otherwise available, we have 

preliminarily calculated the all-others 

rate using a weighted-average of the 

individual estimated subsidy rates 

calculated for the examined respondents 

using each company’s publicly-ranged 

sales values.12

Rate for Non-Responsive Companies 

Thirteen potential exporters and/or 

producers of brake drums from China 

did not timely respond to Commerce’s 

Q&V questionnaire.13 We find that, by 

not timely responding to the Q&V 

questionnaire, these companies 

withheld requested information and 

significantly impeded this proceeding. 

Thus, in reaching our preliminary 

determination, pursuant to sections 

776(a)(2)(A) and (C) of the Act, we are 

basing the subsidy rate for the nonresponsive companies on facts 

otherwise available. 

We further preliminarily determine 

that an adverse inference is warranted, 

pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. By 

failing to submit responses to 

Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire, the 

non-responsive companies did not 

cooperate to the best of their abilities in 

this investigation. Accordingly, we 

preliminarily find that an adverse 

inference is warranted to ensure that the 

non-responsive companies will not 

obtain a more favorable result than had 

they fully complied with our request for 

information. For more information on

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with this 

preliminary determination within five 

days of its public announcement or, if 

there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce will analyze and, if 

appropriate, correct any timely 

allegations of significant ministerial 

errors by amending the preliminary 

determination. However, consistent 

with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will 

not consider incomplete allegations that 

do not address the significance standard 

under 19 CFR 351.224(g) following the 

preliminary determination. Instead, 

Commerce will address such allegations 

in the final determination together with 

issues raised in the case briefs or other 

written comments. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

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

Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to suspend 

liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise as described in the scope 

of the investigation entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP 

to require a cash deposit equal to the 

rates indicated above. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this investigation 

are certain brake drums made of 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 non-subject 

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 the 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 the 

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
