    Requestor: GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. Calcium glycinate is not

People's Republic of China (China)
C-570-081: Glycine From China
    Requestor: GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. Calcium glycinate is not 
covered by the scope of the countervailing duty order on glycine from 
China because calcium glycinate is a precursor of glycine and calcium 
glycinate is not a type of glycine: October 11, 2023.
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From China
    Requestor: Wagner Spray Tech Corporation. Wagner Spray Tech 
Corporation's part number 805-324 manifold is covered by the scope of 
the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions

exception to the orders: October 17, 2023.
A-570-890: Woodend Bedroom Furniture From China
    Requestor: Moe's Home Collection Inc. Certain case pieces of

furniture: November 22, 2023.
A-570-131 and C-570-132: Twist Ties From China
    Requestor: Essential Ribbons, Inc. The twist tie component of twist 
ties attached with bows are covered by the orders. Commerce determined 
the twist tie component was within the scope of the orders based on an 
analysis under19 CFR 351.225(k)(3). First, Commerce examined the 
merchandise as a whole and found it had multiple components because it 
was described as having two pieces with different functions and the 
pieces were either not attached or attached by a single stitch. Then 
Commerce examined the twist tie component and found it was explicitly 
covered by the scope in both function and physical description. 
Finally, Commerce examined if the inclusion of the twist tie with the 
attachable bow resulted in an exclusion of the scope inquiry 
merchandise from the scope of the orders. Since there is no exclusion 
for a twist tie that is a component of merchandise that has a bow, 
Commerce found the twist tie was not excluded from the orders. The 
twist tie component of twist ties attached with bows is, therefore, 
covered by the scope of the orders; November 27, 2023.
A-570-095 and C-570-096: Aluminum Wire and Cable From China
    Requestor: Imperium Cables, LLC. (Imperium). Imperium's Type SER 
and Type URD aluminum conductor cables that are manufactured in Korea 
by Pusan Cables & Engineering Co., Ltd., and incorporate aluminum wire 
cable that is produced in China by Hebei Huatong Wires and Cables Group 
Co., Ltd. (Hebei Huatong), are not covered by the scope of the 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders, because the aluminum wire 
produced by Hebei

[[Page 47897]]

Huatong is uninsulated and, therefore, does not meet the criterion of 
the scope. The scope of the orders provides that ``at least one of the 
electrical conductors is insulated.'' December 4, 2023.
A-570-117: Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products From China
    Requestor: Chicago Dowel Company Inc. Small diameter wood dowels

order because they are headed, not straight, and three of the four 
parts do not have a circular diameter. The scope excludes headed 
products and secondary sources support finding that these four types of

antidumping duty order because they are headed, not straight, and do 
not have a circular diameter. The scope excludes headed products and 
secondary sources support finding that these five types of certain 
collared studs are headed, and, thus, not covered. We issued the final 
decision on November 17, 2023.
Thailand
A-549-837: Glycine From Thailand
    Requestor: GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. Calcium glycinate is not
