SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 7, 2005, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results (see LEU
Preliminary Results 2003 at 70 FR
10989). We invited interested parties to
comment on the results. On April 7,
2005, we received a case brief from
Eurodif/COGEMA and the Government
of France (GOF), the respondents. On
April 12, 2005, we received a rebuttal
brief from petitioners.1 Pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(b), this review covers only
those producers or exporters of the
subject merchandise for which a review
was specifically requested. Accordingly,
this review covers only Eurodif/
COGEMA. The review covers the period
January 1, 2003, through December 31,
2003, and two programs.
Scope of Order
The product covered by this order is
all low enriched uranium (LEU). LEU is
enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6)
with a U235 product assay of less than
20 percent that has not been converted
into another chemical form, such as
UO2, or fabricated into nuclear fuel
assemblies, regardless of the means by
which the LEU is produced (including
LEU produced through the down–
blending of highly enriched uranium).
Certain merchandise is outside the
scope of this order. Specifically, this
order does not cover enriched uranium
hexafluoride with a U235 assay of 20
percent or greater, also known as highly
enriched uranium. In addition,
fabricated LEU is not covered by the
scope of this order. For purposes of this
order, fabricated uranium is defined as
enriched uranium dioxide (UO2),
whether or not contained in nuclear fuel
rods or assemblies. Natural uranium
concentrates (U3O8) with a U235

Corporation (USEC) and USEC Inc.

concentration of no greater than 0.711
percent and natural uranium
concentrates converted into uranium
hexafluoride with a U235 concentration
of no greater than 0.711 percent are not
covered by the scope of this order.
Also excluded from this order is LEU
owned by a foreign utility end–user and
imported into the United States by or for
such end–user solely for purposes of
conversion by a U.S. fabricator into
uranium dioxide (UO2) and/or
fabrication into fuel assemblies so long
as the uranium dioxide and/or fuel
assemblies deemed to incorporate such
imported LEU (i) remain in the
possession and control of the U.S.
fabricator, the foreign end–user, or their
designated transporter(s) while in U.S.
customs territory, and (ii) are re–
exported within eighteen (18) months of
entry of the LEU for consumption by the
end–user in a nuclear reactor outside
the United States. Such entries must be
accompanied by the certifications of the
importer and end user.
The merchandise subject to this order
is currently classifiable in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) at subheading
2844.20.0020. Subject merchandise may
also enter under 2844.20.0030,
2844.20.0050, and 2844.40.00. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs by parties to this review
are addressed in the LEU Decision
Memorandum 2003, which is hereby
adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues contained in that decision
memorandum is attached to this notice
as Appendix I. Parties can find a
complete discussion of the issues raised
in this review and the corresponding
recommendations in that public
memorandum, which is on file in the
Central Records Unit (CRU), room B–

Final Results of Review
In accordance with section
705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated
an ad valorem subsidy rate for Eurodif/
COGEMA. For the review period, we
determine the net subsidy rate to be 1.23
percent ad valorem.

As discussed in Comment 2 of the
LEU Decision Memorandum 2003, we
have been enjoined from liquidating
entries of the subject merchandise.
Therefore, we do not intend to issue
liquidation instructions to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) for entries
made during the period January 1, 2003,
through December 31, 2003, until such
time as the injunctions, issued on June
24, 2002, and November 1, 2004, are
lifted.
We will instruct CBP, within 15 days
of publication of the final results of this
review, to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at 1.23
percent ad valorem of the f.o.b. price on
all shipments of the subject
merchandise from the reviewed entity,
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results.
We will instruct CBP to continue to
collect cash deposits for non–reviewed
companies at the most recent company–
specific rate applicable to the company.
Accordingly, the cash deposit rate that
will be applied to non–reviewed
companies covered by this order will be
the rate for that company established in
the investigation. See Amended Final
Determination and Notice of
Countervailing Duty Order: Low
Enriched Uranium from France, 67 FR
6689 (February 13, 2002). The ‘‘all
others’’ rate shall apply to all non–
reviewed companies until a review of a
company assigned this rate is requested.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This administrative review and this
notice are issued and published in
accordance with section 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: July 5, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 7, 2005, the Department published in the Federal Register
the preliminary results (see LEU Preliminary Results 2003 at 70 FR
10989). We invited interested parties to comment on the results. On
April 7, 2005, we received a case brief from Eurodif/COGEMA and the
Government of France (GOF), the respondents. On April 12, 2005, we
received a rebuttal brief from petitioners.\1\ Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(b), this review covers only those producers or exporters of the
subject merchandise for which a review was specifically requested.
Accordingly, this review covers only Eurodif/COGEMA. The review covers
the period January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003, and two
programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Petitioners are the United States Enrichment Corporation
(USEC) and USEC Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of Order
The product covered by this order is all low enriched uranium
(LEU). LEU is enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6) with a
U\235\ product assay of less than 20 percent that has not been
converted into another chemical form, such as UO2, or
fabricated into nuclear fuel assemblies, regardless of the means by
which the LEU is produced (including LEU produced through the down-
blending of highly enriched uranium).
Certain merchandise is outside the scope of this order.
Specifically, this order does not cover enriched uranium hexafluoride
with a U\235\ assay of 20 percent or greater, also known as highly
enriched uranium. In addition, fabricated LEU is not covered by the
scope of this order. For purposes of this order, fabricated uranium is
defined as enriched uranium dioxide (UO2), whether or not
contained in nuclear fuel rods or assemblies. Natural uranium
concentrates (U3O8) with a U\235\ concentration
of no greater than 0.711 percent and natural uranium concentrates
converted into uranium hexafluoride with a U\235\ concentration of no
greater than 0.711 percent are not covered by the scope of this order.
Also excluded from this order is LEU owned by a foreign utility
end-user and imported into the United States by or for such end-user
solely for purposes of conversion by a U.S. fabricator into uranium
dioxide (UO2) and/or fabrication into fuel assemblies so
long as the uranium dioxide and/or fuel assemblies deemed to
incorporate such imported LEU (i) remain in the possession and control
of the U.S. fabricator, the foreign end-user, or their designated
transporter(s) while in U.S. customs territory, and (ii) are re-
exported within eighteen (18) months of entry of the LEU for
consumption by the end-user in a nuclear reactor outside the United
States. Such entries must be accompanied by the certifications of the
importer and end user.
The merchandise subject to this order is currently classifiable in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at
subheading 2844.20.0020. Subject merchandise may also enter under
2844.20.0030, 2844.20.0050, and 2844.40.00. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this review are addressed in the LEU Decision Memorandum 2003, which is
hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues contained in that
decision memorandum is attached to this notice as Appendix I. Parties
can find a complete discussion of the issues raised in this review and
the corresponding recommendations in that public memorandum, which is

Final Results of Review
In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we
calculated an ad valorem subsidy rate for Eurodif/COGEMA. For the
review period, we determine the net subsidy rate to be 1.23 percent ad
valorem.
As discussed in Comment 2 of the LEU Decision Memorandum 2003, we
have been enjoined from liquidating entries of the subject merchandise.
Therefore, we do not intend to issue liquidation instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for entries made during the period
January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003, until such time as the
injunctions, issued on June 24, 2002, and November 1, 2004, are lifted.
We will instruct CBP, within 15 days of publication of the final
results of this review, to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties at 1.23 percent ad valorem of the f.o.b. price on
all shipments of the subject merchandise from the reviewed entity,
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication of the final results.
We will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits for non-
reviewed companies at the most recent company-specific rate applicable
to the company. Accordingly, the cash deposit rate that will be applied
to non-reviewed companies covered by this order will be the rate for
that company established in the investigation. See Amended Final
Determination and Notice of Countervailing Duty Order: Low Enriched
Uranium from France, 67 FR 6689 (February 13, 2002). The ``all others''
rate shall apply to all non-reviewed companies until a review of a
company assigned this rate is requested.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This administrative review and this notice are issued and published
in accordance with section 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: July 5, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
