ANNEX
FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE EXCLUDING ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS
FROM THE SAFEGUARD MEASURES ESTABLISHED IN PROCLAMATION 7529
67 Fed. Reg. 46221 (12 July 2002)
OFFICE 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 OFTHE 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), 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 theHarmonized 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 ma king 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 subheadings9903.72.30 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articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates set forth in each
item in the annex to this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:   Office of Industry, Office of the United States Trade
Representative, 600 17th Street, NW, Room 501, Washington DC, 20508. Telephone (202) 395-5656.
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 forconsumption, on or after 12:01 a.m., EST, on Marc h 20, 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 the Federal Register  of a notice of his finding that a particular product shouldG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.6
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.6
Page 4
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.
I have further considered exclusion requests for certain products designated as X-004, X-010, X-011, X-
018, X-021, X-022, X-025, X-032, X-035, X-039, X-046, X-048, X-059, X-061, X-072, X-075, X-077,
X-083, X-088, X-089, X-090, X-093, X-100, X-104, X-108, X-109, X-110, X-113, X-116, X-119, X-120,
X-122, X-128, X-134, X-142, X-143, X-147, X-160, X-162, X-172, X-177, X-186, X-187, X-188, X-194,
X-196, X-213, and X-219.  I have also considered exclus ion requests for certain products designated N-
300, N-303, N-313, N-316, N-319, N-321, N-377, N-387, N-392, N-426, N-454, N-455, N-456, N-467,N-491, N-495, N-499.  I find that the exclusion from the safeguard measures established in Proclamation
7529 of certain steel products within these designations, as described in sections 2 and 3 of the annex 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 Proclamation 7529, I modify the HTS provisions created by the annex to Proclamation 7529 asset forth in the annex to this notice.  Such modifi cations shall be embodied in the HTS with respect to
goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after March 20, 2002.
On March 19, 2002 and June 4, 2002, USTR published Federal Register notices (67 F.R. 12635 and 67
F.R. 38541, respectively) making technical corrections to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTS toremedy 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 physicaldimensions or chemical compositi on of certain 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 tothis 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 in each item in the annex to this notice.
