    Scope Ruling Applications

        Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China (China) (A-
    570-967/C-570-968); Wall Standoffs and Components Thereof (Wall
    Standoffs); \2\ produced in and exported from China; submitted by HTM
    MBS LLC (MBS); March 6, 2025; ACCESS scope segment ``MBS Wall
    Standoffs.''
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \2\ The products are wall standoffs and components thereof. Wall
    standoffs are a collection of extruded aluminum fasteners that are
    used to attach media at a fixed distance from a mounting surface.
    Wall standoffs consist of a head with a permanently attached
    externally threaded shank, an open-ended internally threaded
    aluminum barrel, and silicon washers. If imported separately, the
    internally threaded cap is open at one end and attaches to the
    internally threaded barrel via an externally threaded rod. Wall
    standoffs and components thereof are imported in a variety of
    materials, types, shapes, sizes, colors, and finishes. Wall
    standoffs are available in either traditional or tamper proof
    versions. Tamper proof wall standoffs use reverse threading to
    achieve that characteristic. The diameters of the head's cap and of
    the barrel are the same and range from \1/2\ to 1\1/4\''. The
    diameter of the head's threaded shank ranges from \3/8\ to \7/16\''.
    The height of the cap potion of the head ranges from \3/8\ to \3/
    16\''. The head is only available in a cylindrical shape, but with
    two available edges, flat and rounded. The length of the internally
    threaded barrel ranges from \1/2\ to 2\1/2\''. Notwithstanding the
    color, all wall standoffs are anodized. If imported separately, caps
    are available in either traditional or tamper proof versions, but
    barrels are only available in a traditional version. Tamper proof
    caps use a set screw that affixes to the rod through a hole in the
    side of the cap to achieve that characteristic. Cap diameters range
    from \1/4\ to 2''. Cap heights range from \1/8\ to \5/8\''. Cap
    internal threads range from 6-32 to \5/16\-18. Cap shapes include
    cylindrical (flat or rounded edge), hexagonal (beveled edge), and
    square (beveled edge). Replacement heads are only available in a
    cylindrical shape (flat edge). Replacement head diameters range from
    \1/2\ to 2'' and, regardless of diameter, are all \3/16\'' high. The
    length of the internally threaded barrel ranges from \1/8\ to 12'',
    and the internal thread ranges from 6-32 to \5/16\-18. All caps,
    heads and barrels are anodized and available in a variety of colors.

    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\
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \6\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(2), within 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.
        \7\ See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business
    Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to
    the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
        \8\ This structure maintains the intent of the applicable
    regulation, 19 CFR 351.225(d)(1), to allow day 30 and day 31 to be
    separate business days.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(m)(2), if there are companion

    [[Page 18836]]

    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 company-specific 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\
