ANNEX
FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE EXCLUDING ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS
FROM THE SAFEGUARD MEASURES ESTABLISHED IN PROCLAMATION 7529
67 Fed. Reg. 56182 (30 August 2002)
BILLING CODE 3190-01-MOFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVEEXCLUSION OF PARTICULAR PRODUCTS FROM ACTIONS UNDER SECTION 203 OF THE
TRADE ACT OF 1974 WITH REGARD TO CERTAIN STEEL PRODUCTS; CONFORMING
CHANGES AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS TO THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE
OF THE UNITED STATES
AGENCY:   Office of the United States Trade Representative.
ACTION:   Notice
SUMMARY:    Pursuant to authority granted to the United States Trade Representative (USTR) in
Presidential Proclamation 7529 of March 5, 2002 (67 F.R. 10553) and Presidential Proclamation 7576of July 3, 2002, the USTR has found that particular products should be excluded from actions under
section 203 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2253) (Trade Act) with regard to certain steel
products, and is modifying subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS) as set forth in the annex to this notice to implement these exclusions.  Pursuant to
authority delegated to the USTR in Presidential Proclamation 6969 of January 27, 1997 (62 F.R.4415), USTR is making technical corrections to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS) as set forth in the annex to this notice.  These modifications
correct several inadvertent errors and omissions in the subheadings 9903.72.30 through 9903.74.24 of
the HTS so that the intended tariff treatment is provided.
EFFECTIVE DATE:   The modifications and corrections made in this notice are effective with
respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates setforth in each item in the annex to this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  On March 5, 2002, pursuant to section 203 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended (the “Trade Act”) (19 U.S.C. 2253), the President issued Proclamation 7529
(67 F.R. 10553), which imposed tariffs and a tariff-rate quota on (a) certain flat steel, consisting of:
slabs, plate, hot-rolled steel, cold-rolled steel, and coated steel; (b) hot-rolled bar; (c) cold-finished
bar; (d) rebar; (e) certain tubular products; (f) carbon and alloy fittings; (g) stainless steel bar; (h)
stainless steel rod; (i) tin mill products; and (j) stainless steel wire, as provided for in subheadings
9903.72.30 through 9903.74.24 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(“HTS”) (“safeguard measures”) for a period of three years plus 1 day.  Effective with respect to
goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m., EST, on March20, 2002, Proclamation 7529 modified subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTS so as to provide for
such increased duties and a tariff-rate quota.  Proclamation 7529 also delegated to the USTR the
authority to consider requests for exclusion of a particular product submitted in accordance with the
procedures set out in 66 F.R. 54321, 54322-54323 (October 26, 2001) and, upon publication in theG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.7
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.7
Page 4
Federal Register  of a notice of his finding that a particular product should be excluded, to modify the
HTS provision created by the annex to that proclamation to exclude such particular product from the
pertinent safeguard measure.  On April 5, 2002, USTR published a notice in the Federal Register
excluding four particular products from the safeguard measures, and modified the HTS accordingly.67 F.R. 16484.  On July 3, the President issued Proclamation 7576, which extended the period for
granting exclusions until August 31, 2002.  On July 12, 2002, USTR published a notice in the Federal
Register  excluding additional products from the safeguard measures, and modified the HTS
accordingly.  67 F.R. 46221.
I have further considered exclusion requests for certain products designated as
X-010, X-035, X-037, X-038, X-063, X-068, X-081, X-083, X-090, X-099, X-106, X-142, X-146,X-162, N-300, N-301, N-304, N-305, N-310, N-312, N-314, N-316, N-319, N-320, N-323, N-324,
N-325, N-329, N-332, N-333, N-335, N-339, N-346, N-353, N-354, N-355, N-361, N-364, N-372,
N-374, N-376, N-378, N-379, N-381, N-387, N-389, N-390, N-395, N-397, N-400, N-406, N-408,
N-412, N-414, N-420, N-422, N-424, N-425, N-427, N-428, N-430, N-436, N-437, N-441, N-444,
N-449, N-457, N-458, N-459, N-463, N-464, N-465, N-469, N-470, N-472, N-476, N-478, N-479,N-485, N-489, N-494, N-495, N-497, N-520, N-521, N-526, N-529, and N-530.  I find that the
exclusion from the safeguard measures established in Proclamation 7529 of certain steel products
within these designations, as described in the anne x to this notice, would not undermine the goals of
those safeguard measures.  Therefore, I find that these products should be excluded from those
safeguard measures.  Accordingly, under authority vested in the USTR by Proclamations 7529 and7576, I modify the HTS provisions created by the annex to Proclamation 7529 as set forth in the
annex to this notice.  Such modifications shall be embodied in the HTS with respect to goods entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on the dates indicated in the annex to this notice.
On March 19, 2002 June 4, 2002, and July 12, 2002, USTR published Federal Register notices (67
F.R. 12635, 67 F.R. 38541, and 67 F.R. 46221, respectively) making technical corrections to chapter
III of chapter 99 of the HTS to remedy several technical errors introduced in the annex to
Proclamation 7529.  These corrections ensured that the intended tariff treatment was provided.  Since
the publication of these Federal Register  notices, additional technical errors and omissions in
subchapter III of chapter 99 have come to the attention of USTR.  The annex to this notice makes
technical corrections to the HTS to remedy these errors and omissions.  In particular, the annex to this
notice corrects errors in the descriptions of the physical dimensions or chemical composition ofcertain products excluded from the application of the safeguard measures.
Proclamation 6969 authorized the USTR to exercise the authority provided to the President under
section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2483) to embody rectifications, technical or
conforming changes, or similar modifications in the HTS.  Under authority vested in the USTR by
Proclamation 6969, the rectifications, technical and conforming changes, and similar modifications
set forth in the annex to this notice shall be embodied in the HTS with respect to goods entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date set forth with regard to each item in
the annex to this notice.
