Appendix—Scope of the Investigations
The merchandise subject to these
investigations are fully or partially uncured
epoxy resins, also known as epoxide resins,
polyepoxides, oxirane resins, ethoxyline
resins, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol,
(chloromethyl)oxirane, or aromatic
diglycidyl, which are polymers or
prepolymers containing epoxy groups (i.e.,
three-membered ring structures comprised of
two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom).
Epoxy resins range in physical form from low
viscosity liquids to solids. All epoxy resins
are covered by the scope of these
investigations irrespective of physical form,
viscosity, grade, purity, molecular weight, or
molecular structure, and packaging.
Epoxy resins may contain modifiers or
additives, such as hardeners, curatives,
colorants, pigments, diluents, solvents,
thickeners, fillers, plasticizers, softeners,
flame retardants, toughening agents,
catalysts, Bisphenol F, and ultraviolet light
inhibitors, so long as the modifier or additive
has not chemically reacted so as to cure the
epoxy resin or convert it into a different
product no longer containing epoxy groups.
Such epoxy resins with modifiers or
additives are included in the scope where the
epoxy resin component comprises no less

than 30 percent of the total weight of the
product. The scope also includes blends of
epoxy resins with different types of epoxy
resins, with or without the inclusion of
modifiers and additives, so long as the
combined epoxy resin component comprises
at least 30 percent of the total weight of the
blend.
Epoxy resins that enter as part of a system
or kit with separately packaged co-reactants,
such as hardeners or curing agents, are
within the scope. The scope does not include
any separately packaged co-reactants that
would not fall within the scope if entered on
their own.
The scope includes merchandise matching
the above description that has been
processed in a third country, including by
commingling, diluting, introducing, or
removing modifiers or additives, or
performing any other processing that would
not otherwise remove the merchandise from
the scope of the investigations if performed
in the subject country.
The scope also includes epoxy resin that is
commingled or blended with epoxy resin
from sources not subject to these
investigations. Only the subject component
of such commingled products is covered by
the scope of these investigations.
Excluded from the scope are phenoxy
resins, which are polymers with a weight
greater than 11,000 Daltons, a Melt Flow
Index (MFI) at 200 °C (392 °F) no less than 4
grams and no greater than 70 grams per 10
min, Glass-Transition Temperatures (Tg) no
less than 80 °C (176 °F) and no greater than
100 °C (212 °F), and which contain no epoxy
groups other than at the terminal ends of the
molecule.
Excluded from the scope are certain paint
and coating products, which are blends,
mixtures, or other formulations of epoxy
resin, curing agent, and pigment, in any form,
packaged in one or more containers, wherein
(1) the pigment represents a minimum of 10
percent of the total weight of the product, (2)
the epoxy resin represents a maximum of 80
percent of the total weight of the product,
and (3) the curing agent represents 5 to 40
percent of the total weight of the product.
Excluded from the scope are
preimpregnated fabrics or fibers, often
referred to as ‘‘pre-pregs,’’ which are
composite materials consisting of fabrics or
fibers (typically carbon or glass) impregnated
with epoxy resin.
This merchandise is currently classifiable
under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheading
3907.30.0000. Subject merchandise may also
be entered under subheadings 3907.29.0000,
3824.99.9397, 3214.10.0020, 2910.90.9100,
2910.90.9000, 2910.90.2000, and
1518.00.4000. The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes only; the written description of the
scope is dispositive.

Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 3,935.
Average Hours per Response: 45
minutes (0.75 hours) to affix vessel
information to the required locations.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,952.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a current information
collection. Regulations at 50 CFR 648.8
and 697.8 require that owners of vessels
over 25 ft (7.6 m) in registered length
that have federal permits to fish in the
Greater Atlantic Region display the
vessel’s name and official number. The
name and number must be of a specific
size at specified locations: the vessel
name must be affixed to the port and
starboard sides of the bow and, if
possible, on its stern. The official
number must be displayed on the port
and starboard sides of the deckhouse or
hull, and on an appropriate weather
deck to be clearly visible from
enforcement vessels and aircraft. The
success of fisheries management
programs depends upon regulatory
compliance. The vessel identification
requirement, which is required of all
federally permitted fishing vessels in
the Greater Atlantic region, is essential
to facilitate enforcement. The ability to
link fishing or other activities to a vessel
owner or operator are crucial to the
enforcement of regulations issued under
the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act. When this information is clearly
displayed, it enables enforcement
personnel to easily identify Federal
permit holders while engaged in fishing.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households and business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Once per year.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: 50 CFR 648.8 and
697.8.
