1. On 11/24/2014, in response to a request by the ECCO Group (“ECCO”), Commerce issued a final scope determination that the heat sinks for light-emitting-diode (“LED”) light bars which ECCO imports are within the scope of the countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (C-570-968).

2. Because ECCO failed to demonstrate that its heat sinks for LED light bars, which are solid profiles of series 6063 extruded aluminum, meet the two criteria to qualify for the finished heat sink exclusion in the scope, i.e., that: (1) the design and production of the imported heat sinks for LED light bars are organized around meeting specified thermal performance requirements; and, (2) the imported heat sinks for LED light bars are fully, albeit not necessarily individually, tested to comply with the specified thermal performance requirements, Commerce found ECCO's heat sinks for LED light bars to be within the scope of the order.

3. Continue to suspend liquidation of entries of heat sinks for LED light bars from the People's Republic of China, including the heat sinks for LED light bars imported by ECCO described above, subject to the countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China.
