Final Scope Rulings Made July 1, 2024, Through September 30, 2024

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. Co. Ltd. (Chen Shin Rubber) 
Certain 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, 2024.
