SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 7, 2024, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

Preliminary Determinations that imports 

of AWC completed in Cambodia using 

certain AWC inputs manufactured in 

China are not covered by the scope of 

the AD and CVD orders on AWC from 

China and that imports of AWC 

completed in Cambodia using certain 

AWC inputs are not circumventing 

Orders.1 Pursuant to section 781(e) of

Commerce to consider for these final 

determinations.4 In their letters, Ruito 

Wire and Xiantong Wire each stated that 

the facts underlying Commerce’s 

negative preliminary scope and 

circumvention determinations have 

been verified as accurate and, as a 

result, that Commerce should issue final 

negative scope and circumvention 

determinations with respect to 

Cambodia.5 No other party submitted 

comments for Commerce to consider for 

these final determinations.

or completed in Cambodia using 

Chinese-origin AWC inputs (e.g., 

stranded wire and cables or unfinished 

AWC) that is subsequently exported 

from Cambodia to the United States 

(inquiry merchandise). These inquiries 

cover exports of AWC from Cambodia 

that are assembled or completed using 

inputs of Chinese origin which undergo 

further processing in Cambodia. For a

Analysis of Comments Received 

Commerce received no comments 

objecting to its findings in the 

Preliminary Determinations with regard 

to its scope analysis conducted under 19 

CFR 351.225(k)(1), nor did Commerce 

receive any comments objecting to its 

findings in the Preliminary 

Determinations regarding its analysis 

under the circumvention factors of 

section 781(b) of the Act. Accordingly, 

Commerce made no changes to its 

Preliminary Determinations, and no 

decision memoranda accompany this 

Federal Register notice. For a complete 

description of the Commerce’s analysis, 

see the Preliminary Determinations. 

Methodology and Final Scope Ruling 

Commerce conducted this scope 

inquiry in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(k)(1), and it made no changes to 

its methodology for this final scope 

ruling. Specifically, as discussed in the 

Preliminary Determinations, Commerce 

finds that AWC produced in Cambodia 

using Chinese-origin inputs that do not 

satisfy the physical description of the 

scope of the Orders is not subject to the 

Orders.6

Methodology and Final Circumvention 

Determination 

Commerce conducted this 

circumvention inquiry in accordance 

with section 781(b) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.226. Commerce made no 

changes to its methodology for this final 

circumvention determination. 

Specifically, as discussed in the 

Preliminary Determinations, Commerce 

determines that U.S. imports of inquiry 

merchandise from Cambodia are not 

circumventing the Orders.7 As a result, 

in accordance with section 781(b) of the 

Act, Commerce determines that the 

inquiry merchandise exported from 

Cambodia should not be included 

within the scope of the Orders. 

Commerce is making this negative 

determination of circumvention of the 

Orders on a country-wide basis. 

Termination of Suspension of 

Liquidation and Refund of Cash 

Deposits 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(l)(1) and 

19 CFR 351.226(l)(1), Commerce 

notified U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) of the initiation of 

these scope and circumvention inquiries 

and directed CBP to continue the 

suspension of liquidation of entries of 

products subject to these scope and 

circumvention inquiries that were 

already subject to the suspension of 

liquidation under the Orders and to 

apply the cash deposit rate that would 

be applicable if the products were 

determined to be covered by the scope 

of the Orders.8

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(l)(4) and 19 CFR 351.226(l)(4), 

Commerce will order CBP to terminate 

the suspension of liquidation and 

refund cash deposits for any entries of 

inquiry merchandise that are suspended 

under the case numbers applicable to 

this inquiry (i.e., A–570–095 and C– 

570–096). 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice will serve as the only 

reminder to all parties subject to an 

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 

or destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation.

Mexico 

A–201–857: Certain Freight Rail 

Couplers and Parts Thereof From 

Mexico 

Requestor: Amsted Rail Company, 

Inc. and its affiliated company ASF–K 

de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. Certain 

steel freight rail couplers (i.e., E type 

yokes and F type yokes) as defined in 

the AAR specification of M–211 

‘‘Foundry and Product Approval 

Requirements for the Manufacture of 

Couplers, Coupler Yokes, Knuckles, 

Follower Blocks, and Coupler Parts’’ are 

not covered by the antidumping duty 

(AD) order on certain freight rail 

couplers from Mexico because of the 

plain language of the scope of the order. 

July 2, 2024. 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

A–570–979 and C–570–980: Crystalline 

Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or 

Not Assembled into Modules, From 

China 

Requestor: GameChange Solar Corp. 

The off-grid solar charging module with 

part numbers GC4291F, GC4291FE, 

GC3291F, or GC3291FE is covered by 

the scope of the AD and countervailing 

duty (CVD) orders on crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, whether or not 

assembled into modules, from China 

because the solar cells in the charging 

module do not differ physically from 

the crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells 

covered by the scope of the orders and 

the charging module does not meet any 

of the exclusions in the scope of the 

orders. August 13, 2024. 

A–570–090 and C–570–091: Certain 

Steel Wheels 12 to 16.5 Inches in 

Diameter From China 

Requestor: Allied Wheel Components, 

Inc. (Allied Wheel). Certain models of 

passenger vehicle and light truck discs 

and rims imported by Allied Wheel are 

outside the scope of the AD and CVD 

orders on certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 

inches in diameter from China because 

the requested products are 

distinguishable from in-scope trailer 

wheels on the basis of hub bore size, 

offset, load rating, and/or bolt pattern 

that make them unsuitable for use on 

trailer or towable equipment. August 21, 

2024. 

Taiwan 

A–583–869: Passenger Vehicle and 

Light Truck Tires From Taiwan 

Requestor: Cheng Shin Rubber Ind.

light-truck spare tires models, identified 

under part code TP10657100, produced 

by Cheng Shin Rubber and imported by 

its U.S. affiliate, Cheng Shin Rubber 

USA Inc., are not covered by the scope 

of the AD order on passenger vehicle 

and light truck tires from Taiwan 

because the product’s technical specs 

and prefix designations meet the 

exclusionary language of the order as 

they are not at this time included within 

the TRA Yearbook. However, we 

acknowledge that a future version of the 

TRA Yearbook could bring previously 

excluded tires into the scope. August 5,
