DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

International Trade Administration

Public Hearing on Establishment of

Import Restrictions on Certain Steel

Products From Ukraine to the United

States

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 16, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

procedural questions concerning the

public hearing and/or public comments,

contact Lesley Stagliano at (202) 482–

0190. All other questions should be

directed to Edward Yang at (202) 482–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 1,

1990, pursuant to Title IV of the Trade

Act of 1974 (the Trade Act), the

Governments of the United States of

America and Union of Soviet Socialist

Republics entered into the Agreement

on Trade Relations Between the United

States of America and the Union of

Soviet Socialist Republics. On May 6,

1992, this agreement became effective

between the United States of America

and Ukraine (the 1992 Agreement).

Article XI of the 1992 Agreement

provides that the Parties will consult

with a view toward finding means of

remedying or preventing actual or

threatened market disruption, and it

authorizes the Parties to take action,

including the imposition of import

restrictions, to achieve this goal.

In January 2001, the United States

Department of Commerce and the

Ministry of Economy of Ukraine entered

into negotiations and consultations

pursuant to Article XI of the Agreement

on Trade Relations Between the United

States of America and Ukraine. In these

negotiations, the Parties are considering

whether the conditions of Article XI

have been met with respect to U.S.

imports of certain steel products from

Ukraine and, if so, what action should

be taken.

Pursuant to Article XI, the United

States is considering establishing import

restrictions on Ukrainian exports to the

United States of the following 21 steel

products:

1. Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar (ReBar)

2. Hot-Rolled Carbon Quality Steel

Products

3. Cold-Rolled Carbon Quality Steel

Products

4. Hot-Rolled Steel Stainless and Alloy

Products

5. Cold-Rolled Stainless, Alloy and

Other Carbon Steel Products

6. Galvanized Sheet Products

7. Other Metallic Coated Flat-Rolled

Products

8. Rails

9. Electrical Sheet Products

10. Heavy Structural Shapes

11. Hot-Rolled Bars

12. Hot-Rolled Light Shapes

13. Cold-Finished Bars

14. Certain Tin Mill Products Pipe and

Tube Products

15. Wire Rod Products

16. Tool Steel

17. Drawn Wire

18. Wheels and Axles

19. Fabricated Structural Shapes

20. Semifinished Steel Products

21. Pig Iron

Each category of steel would have a

separate export limit. In addition to the

issuance of export licenses by the

Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, the

United States would establish a border

enforcement mechanism to ensure

compliance with the export limits. The

border mechanism will be in the form

of denial of entry for any shipment of

steel, covered by the categories listed

above, which exceeds the limits or lacks

the required documents.

Section 125(c) of the Trade Act (19

U.S.C. 2135(c)) provides that whenever

the United States, acting in pursuance of

any of its rights or obligations under any

trade agreement entered into pursuant

to the Trade Act, modifies any

obligation with respect to the trade of

any foreign country or instrumentality,

the President is authorized to proclaim

increased duties or other import

restrictions, to the extent, at such times,

and for such periods as he deems

necessary or appropriate, in order to

exercise the rights or fulfill the

obligations of the United States.

Section 125(f) of the Trade Act (19

U.S.C. 2135(f)) requires the President to

provide the opportunity for interested

parties to present views at a public

hearing prior to taking action pursuant

to section 125(b), (c), or (d) of the Trade

Act (19 U.S.C. 2135(b), (c), or (d)). Such

an opportunity is being provided by

scheduling such a hearing for

Wednesday, January 17, 2001, at the

United States Department of Commerce.

If the consultations and negotiations

with the Ministry of Economy of

Ukraine result in a tentative agreement,

the Department will publish the

proposed agreement on its Import

Administration website (http://

ia.ita.doc.gov) no later than 12:00 p.m.

on Tuesday, January 16, 2001, and

conduct the hearing on January 17,

2001.
