Appendix 

Scope of the Investigations 

The scope of these investigations covers 

float glass products (FGP), which are articles 

of soda-lime-silica glass that are 

manufactured by floating a continuous strip 

of molten glass over a smooth bath of tin (or 

another liquid metal with a density greater 

than molten glass), cooling the glass in an 

annealing lehr, and cutting it to appropriate 

dimensions. For purposes of the 

investigations, float glass products have an 

actual thickness of at least 2.0 mm (0.0787 

inches) and an actual surface area of at least 

0.37 square meters (4.0 square feet). 

The country of origin of each float glass 

product is determined by the location where 

the soda-lime-silica glass is first 

manufactured by floating a continuous strip 

of molten glass over a smooth bath of tin and 

cooling the glass in an annealing lehr, 

regardless of the location of any downstream 

finishing or fabrication operations. 

Prior to being subjected to further 

treatment, finishing, or fabrication, float glass 

products meet the requirements of Type I 

under ASTM–C1036 of the American Society 

for Testing and Materials (ASTM). 

Float glass products may be clear, stained, 

tinted, or coated with one or more materials. 

Examples of coated float glass products 

include Low-E architectural glass (i.e., glass 

with a low emissivity coating to limit the 

penetration of radiant heat energy) and 

frameless mirrors (i.e., flat glass with a silver, 

aluminum, or other reflective layer) such as 

mirror stock sheet. 

Float glass products may be annealed, 

chemically strengthened, heat strengthened, 

or tempered to achieve a desired surface 

compression, pursuant to ASTM–C1048, 

ASTM–C1422/C1422M, or other similar 

specifications. 

Float glass products include tub and 

shower enclosures (i.e., doors and panels) 

made of tempered glass, which may be sold 

with attached or unattached hardware. In 

such cases, the scope covers only the 

tempered glass, to the exclusion of any nonglass hardware. 

The only float glass product assemblies 

included within the scope are: (1) articles 

consisting of two of more sheets of float glass 

that are bonded together using a polymer 

interlayer (i.e., laminated glass); (2) 

insulating glass units (IGUs), which consist 

of two or more sheets of float glass separated 

by a spacer material and hermetically sealed 

together at the edge in order to create a 

thermal barrier using air or one or more 

gases; and (3) LED mirrors (i.e., float glass 

mirrors with one or more light-emitting 

diodes integrated with the mirror, as well as 

framed float glass mirrors with one or more 

light-emitting diodes integrated with the 

mirror or the mirror frame, but without other 

electronic functionality). 

Float glass products covered by the scope 

may meet one or more of the ASTM–C162, 

ASTM–C1036, ASTM–C1048, ASTM–C1172, 

ASTM–C1349, ASTM–C1376, ASTM–C1422/ 

C1422M, ASTM–C1464, ASTM–C1503, 

ASTM–C1651, ASTM–E1300, and ASTM– 

E2190 specifications, definitions, and/or 

standards. 

Float glass products may be further 

worked, including, but not limited to, 

operations such as: cutting; beveling; edging; 

notching; drilling; etching; bending; curving; 

chipping; embossing; engraving; surface 

grinding; or polishing; and sandblasting (i.e., 

using high velocity air to stream abrasive 

particles and thereby impart a frosted 

aesthetic to the glass surface). A float glass 

product which undergoes further work 

remains within the scope so long as the sodalime-silica glass originally satisfied the 

requirements of ASTM–C1036 Type I and 

was first manufactured in a subject country, 

regardless of where it is further worked. 

Excluded from the scope are: (1) wired 

glass (i.e., glass with a layer of wire mesh 

embedded within); (2) patterned flat glass 

(i.e., rolled glass with a pattern impressed on 

one or both sides) meeting the requirements 

of Type II under ASTM–C1036, including 

greenhouse glass and patterned solar glass 

(i.e., photovoltaic glass with a textured 

surface); (3) safety glazing materials for 

vehicles certified to American National 

Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Z26.1; 

(4) vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units, 

which consist of two or more sheets of float 

glass separated by a spacer material, with at 

least one hermetically sealed compartment 

that uses a gas-free vacuum as a thermal 

barrier; (5) framed mirrors without any LEDs 

integrated with the mirror or the mirror 

frame; (6) unframed ‘‘over-the-door’’ mirrors 

that are ready for use as imported without 

undergoing after importation any processing, 

finishing, or fabrication; and (7) heatstrengthened washing machine lid glass with 

an actual surface area less than 6.0 square 

feet (0.56 square meters). 

Also excluded from the scope of the 

investigations are: (1) soda-lime-silica glass 

containing less than 0.01 percent iron oxide 

by weight, annealed with a surface 

compression less than 3,500 pounds per 

square inch (PSI), having a transparent 

conductive oxide base coating (e.g., tin 

oxide), and with an actual thickness less than 

or equal to 4.0 mm (0.1575 inches) (i.e., 

‘‘coated solar glass’’); and (2) heat treated 

soda-lime-silica glass with a surface 

compression between 3,500 and 10,000 PSI, 

containing two or more drilled holes, and 

having an actual thickness less than 2.5 mm 

(0.0984 inches) (i.e., ‘‘clear back solar glass’’). 

Solar glass products (also known as 

photovoltaic glass) are designed to facilitate 

the conversion of solar energy into 

electricity. 

Also excluded from the scope of the 

investigations are any products already 

covered by the scope of any extant 

antidumping and/or countervailing duty 

orders, including Aluminum Extrusions from 

the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping 

Duty Order, 76 FR 30650 (May 26, 2011), and 

Aluminum Extrusions from the People’s 

Republic of China: Countervailing Duty 

Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011). 

The products subject to the investigations 

are currently classifiable under subheadings 

7005.10.8000, 7005.21.1010, 7005.21.1030, 

7005.21.2000, 7005.29.1810, 7005.29.1850, 

7005.29.2500, 7007.29.0000, 7008.00.0000, 

7009.91.5010, 7009.91.5095, and 

7009.92.5010 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Products subject to the investigations may 

also enter under HTSUS subheadings 

7006.00.4010, 7006.00.4050, and 

7007.19.0000. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of the investigations 

is dispositive.

collection. 

Under section 318(d) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery and 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) [16 U.S.C. 

1801, et seq.], as amended by the 

Sustainable Fisheries Act [Pub. L. 104– 

297], the Secretary of Commerce 

(Secretary) is required to promulgate 

regulations that create an expedited, 

uniform, and regionally-based process 

to promote issuance, where practicable, 

of experimental fishing permits. 

Regulations under 50 CFR 648.12 and 

50 CFR 600.745 establish processes for 

scientific research plans as well as

Fishing regulations do not generally 

affect scientific research activities 

conducted by a scientific research 

vessel. Persons planning to conduct 

such research are encouraged to submit 

a scientific research plan to ensure that 

the activities are considered research 

and not fishing. The researchers are 

requested to submit reports of their 

scientific research activity after its 

completion. Eligible researchers on 

board federally permitted fishing vessels 

that plan to temporarily possess fish in 

a manner not compliant with applicable 

fishing regulations for the purpose of 

collecting scientific data on catch may 

submit a request for a temporary 

possession letter of authorization. The 

researchers are requested to submit 

reports of their scientific research 

activity after its completion. The 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) may also grant exemptions from 

fishery regulations for educational or 

other activities (e.g., using nonregulation gear). The applications for 

these exemptions must be submitted, as 

well as reports on activities.
