Appendix 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to this order is 

steel concrete reinforcing bar imported in 

either straight length or coil form (rebar) 

regardless of metallurgy, length, diameter, or 

grade or lack thereof. Subject merchandise 

includes deformed steel wire with bar 

markings (e.g., mill mark, size, or grade) and 

which has been subjected to an elongation 

test. 

The subject merchandise includes rebar 

that has been further processed in the subject 

countries or a third country, including but 

not limited to cutting, grinding, galvanizing, 

painting, coating, or any other processing 

that would not otherwise remove the 

merchandise from the scope of this order if 

performed in the country of manufacture of 

the rebar. 

Specifically excluded are plain rounds 

(i.e., nondeformed or smooth rebar). Also 

excluded from the scope is deformed steel 

wire meeting ASTM A1064/A1064M with no 

bar markings (e.g., mill mark, size, or grade) 

and without being subject to an elongation 

test. 

The subject merchandise is classifiable in 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) primarily under item 

numbers 7213.10.0000, 7214.20.0000, and 

7228.30.8010. The subject merchandise may

Uranium From the Russian Federation: 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Antidumping Investigation 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of determinations 

by the Department of Commerce 

(Department) that termination of the 

Agreement Suspending the 

Antidumping Investigation on Uranium 

from the Russian Federation, as 

amended (the Agreement), and the 

suspended investigation on uranium 

from the Russian Federation (Russia) 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, and by the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that termination of the suspended 

investigation would likely lead to 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, the Department is 

publishing this notice of continuation of 

the Agreement on uranium from Russia. 

DATES: Applicable October 2, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 3, 2017, the Department 

published the notice of initiation of the 

fourth sunset review of the Agreement, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).1 On 

the basis of the notice of intent to 

participate and adequate substantive 

responses filed by domestic interested 

parties and the lack of response from 

any respondent interested party, the 

Department conducted an expedited 

sunset review of the Agreement 

pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C). As 

a result of its review, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752 of the Act, the 

Department determined that termination 

of the Agreement and the suspended 

investigation on uranium from the 

Russian Federation would likely lead to 

a continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and, therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margin likely to 

prevail should the Agreement be 

terminated.2

On September 26, 2017, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, the ITC 

published its determination that 

termination of the suspended 

investigation on uranium from the 

Russian Federation would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.3

Scope of the Agreement 

The product covered by the 

Suspension Agreement is natural 

uranium in the form of uranium ores 

and concentrates; natural uranium metal 

and natural uranium compounds; 

alloys, dispersions (including cermets), 

ceramic products, and mixtures 

containing natural uranium or natural 

uranium compounds; uranium enriched 

in U235 and its compounds; alloys, 

dispersions (including cermets), ceramic 

products, and mixtures containing 

uranium enriched in U235 or 

compounds of uranium enriched in 

U235; and any other forms of uranium 

within the same class or kind. 

Uranium ore from Russia that is 

milled into U3O8 and/or converted into 

UF6 in another country prior to direct 

and/or indirect importation into the 

United States is considered uranium 

from Russia and is subject to the terms 

of this Suspension Agreement. 

For purposes of this Suspension 

Agreement, uranium enriched in U235 or 

compounds of uranium enriched in U235

in Russia are covered by this 

Suspension Agreement, regardless of 

their subsequent modification or 

blending. Uranium enriched in U235 in 

another country prior to direct and/or 

indirect importation into the United 

States is not considered uranium from 

Russia and is not subject to the terms of 

this Suspension Agreement.4

5See Amendment to the Agreement Suspending 

the Antidumping Investigation on Uranium From 

the Russian Federation, 73 FR 7705 (February 11, 

2008). 

HEU is within the scope of the 

underlying investigation, and HEU is 

covered by this Suspension Agreement. 

For the purpose of this Suspension 

Agreement, HEU means uranium 

enriched to 20 percent or greater in the 

isotope uranium-235. 

Imports of uranium ores and 

concentrates, natural uranium 

compounds, and all forms of enriched 

uranium are currently classifiable under 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 

2612.10.00, 2844.10.20, 2844.20.00, 

respectively. Imports of natural uranium 

metal and forms of natural uranium 

other than compounds are currently 

classifiable under HTSUS subheadings: 

2844.10.10 and 2844.10.50. HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and Customs purposes. 

The written description of the scope of 

this proceeding is dispositive. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Investigation 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

termination of the Agreement and the 

suspended investigation would be likely 

to lead to continuation or recurrence, 

respectively, of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, the Department hereby orders 

the continuation of the Agreement. The 

effective date of continuation of the 

Agreement will be the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of continuation. Pursuant to 

Section XII of the 2008 Amendment to 

the Agreement, the Department intends 

to terminate the Agreement, and the 

underlying antidumping investigation, 

on December 31, 2020.5

This five-year (sunset) review and 

notice are in accordance with section 

751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
