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 SCHEDULEOF 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), 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 99of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) as set forth in the annex to this notice
to implement these exclusions.  Pursuant to au thority delegated to the USTR in Presidential
Proclamation 6969 of January 27, 1997 (62 F.R. 441 5), 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 inthe 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respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates set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 subheadings9903.72.30 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 March
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 theauthority 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 should be excluded, to modify the
HTS provision created by the annex to that proclamation to exclude such particular product from theG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.6
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.6

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 exclusion 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, asdescribed 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 as set forth in the annex to this notice.  Such
modifications shall be embodied in the HTS with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn fromwarehouse 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
to remedy several technical errors introduced in the annex to Proclamation 7529.  These correctionsensured 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 of certain products excluded from the application ofthe 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, orwithdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date set forth in each item in the annex to
this notice.
