SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
publishes this action to make final an
interim final rule that extended and
expanded the Steel Import Monitoring
and Analysis (SIMA) system until
March 21, 2009. This action also
expands the list of covered items to
include all basic steel mill products, but
it also removes certain downstream steel
products, which were formerly covered
products (certain fittings and flanges,
certain cold formed shapes, and certain
bars). The purpose of the SIMA system
is to provide statistical data on steel
imports entering the United States seven
weeks earlier than is otherwise publicly
available. The data collected on the
licenses are made available to the public
in an aggregated form weekly after
Commerce review.
DATES: This final rule is effective
December 5, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information on the SIMA system, please
contact Kelly Parkhill (202) 482–3791;
Julie Al-Saadawi (202) 482–1930.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIMA
system (formerly referred to as Steel
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
72373
Monitoring and Analysis system) was
originally outlined in the President’s
March 5, 2002, Proclamation about Steel
Safeguards, which also placed tariffs
temporarily on many steel imports and
provided the steel industry time to
restructure. The monitoring system
outlined in the President’s Proclamation
required all importers of steel products
to obtain a license from the Department
of Commerce prior to completing their
Customs import summary
documentation. The original intent was
to provide a monitoring tool to ensure
that the effectiveness of the safeguard
was not undermined by large quantities
of imports originating from countries
that were excluded from the tariffs. On
December 4, 2003, the President issued
a proclamation that terminated the steel
safeguard measures, but directed the
Secretary of Commerce to continue the
monitoring system until the earlier of
March 21, 2005, or such time as the
Secretary of Commerce establishes a
replacement program. On December 9,
2003, the Department of Commerce
published a notice stating that the
system would continue in effect as
described in the Proclamation until
March 21, 2005 (68 FR 68594).
On August 25, 2004, the Department
published an advanced notice of
proposed rulemaking soliciting
comments from the public on whether
to continue the monitoring system
beyond March 21, 2005 (69 FR 52211)
and, if extended, whether the system
should be modified in any way. The
Department received a number of
submissions from a wide range of
interested parties, including steel
producers, steel consumers, steel
suppliers, and importers as well as
Congressional and foreign interests. On
March 11, 2005, the Department
published an interim final rule
responding to these comments from the
public and implementing a slightly
expanded version of SIMA until March
21, 2009. The Department received
forty-two submissions from a wide
range of interested parties. Please refer
to the SIMA system’s Web site to read
the comments on the Interim Rule and
for further information about the SIMA
system: https://ia.ita.doc.gov/steel/
license/.
Final Rule
The purpose of the SIMA system is to
collect timely detailed statistics on steel
imports and to provide stakeholders
with information about import trends in
this sector. The SIMA system aggregates
detailed import statistics it collects from
internet-generated licenses and makes
the data available for public analysis on
a weekly basis. The data gathering
E:\FR\FM\05DER1.SGM
05DER1
72374
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 232 / Monday, December 5, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
procedure through the online licensing
system remains the same as it was
described in the interim final rule.
While the import monitor will continue
to display aggregate statistical tables and
graphs of U.S. steel imports combining
data from the Census Bureau with data
collected from the licensing system, it
will be altered somewhat in response to
comments received. However, these
modifications do not require regulatory
action and have no impact on the
interim regulations, which will be
finalized without changes.
As stated in the interim final rule, the
Department extended the SIMA system
for a period of four years beginning
March 21, 2005 (see 19 CFR 360). The
Department has also expanded the
coverage of the system to include all
basic steel mill products and will
release aggregate licensing data at the 6digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)
product level detail on the monitoring
Web site.
In response to a number of comments
received, the Department plans to make
some changes in the monitoring section.
The Department intends to add certain
downstream steel products, identified
during the comment period. These
additional products will be available on
the SIMA import monitoring Web site
and will cover publicly available data
only. The Department also intends to
include export data and possibly
domestic shipment data, which would
provide an indicator of apparent
consumption of steel in the United
States. In addition, the Department
plans to provide import data broken out
by carbon, alloy, and stainless grades.
Comments
Submissions received during the
public comment period established in
the interim final rule have been
considered in preparing this final rule.
Forty-two submissions were received
from a wide range of sources: members
of Congress, consumers, producers, and
importers. Nearly all of the comments
were supportive of extension and
expansion of the SIMA system to steel
mill products and agreed that it is a
critical tool that helps the industry to
closely monitor steel imports. The
comments are summarized below and
listed in order of their frequency:
Comment 1: Expansion of the SIMA
system to include various downstream
steel products—The majority of the
submitted comments supported
expansion of the SIMA system to
include downstream steel products,
particularly downstream steel wire
products such as steel wire strand and
rope and cables (HTS 7312), barbed wire
(HTS 7313), steel wire cloth, grill,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:02 Dec 02, 2005
Jkt 208001
netting, and fencing (HTS 7314), steel
wire nails and staples (HTS 7317), steel
springs (HTS 7320), and steel wire
garment hangers (HTS 7326.20.0020). A
small number of commenters stated that
butt-weld fittings and flanges should be
covered in the new SIMA system and
that the Department should provide
import data broken out by carbon, alloy,
and stainless grades.
Response 1: The Department will not
expand coverage of the SIMA system to
require licensing for the requested
downstream steel products. Although
the Department recognizes that certain
segments of the steel industry are
interested in the Department’s licensing
and monitoring of these downstream
steel products, the sheer volume of
entries associated with many of these
downstream steel products (nails and
staples, springs, fittings and flanges and
wire hangers) greatly increases the
burden of the system on the trading
community and could potentially
overwhelm the SIMA system. However,
in response to the comments received,
the Department intends to include
publicly available import data for these
products in a separate section of the
SIMA monitoring system. The
Department also intends to provide
import data broken out by carbon, alloy,
and stainless steel grades.
Comment 2: Additional Data on Steel
Exports and Shipments—The
Department received a comment in one
of the early comment periods that
requests the Department to provide
statistics on steel availability. The
commenter wants to see shipment data
and export data in addition to imports.
By including all three concepts, the
commenter argues, the SIMA system
would paint a better picture of the
available steel supply in the U.S. than
relying only on imports.
Response 2: In addition to import
data, the Department intends to provide
certain publicly available steel export
data in the SIMA monitoring system.
The Department is also exploring the
possibility of reporting domestic
shipment data to provide an indicator of
U.S. apparent consumption. These
changes to the SIMA system do not
involve regulatory changes and do not
affect the interim regulations.
Comment 3: Reporting Level—A
number of the submissions requested
that the level of product detail
presented in the monitor should be at
the 10-digit HTS level. The commenters
voiced concerns over reporting at the 6digit HTS level stating that the product’s
features and use are often not revealed
at the 6-digit HTS levels. Several
commenters also suggested that the
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Department should aggregate data by
port of entry.
Response 3: The Department will
continue to report aggregate data at the
6-digit HTS level only. The Department
does not intend to publish data in any
greater product detail than at the 6-digit
HTS level because of the possibility of
inadvertent release of proprietary
information. The Department does not
intend to release aggregate port of entry
data for the same reason. However, the
Department will publish historical
percentage allocations for 6-digit HTS
codes to the aggregate steel categories to
assist users in their analysis of the data.
Comment 4: Foreign Trade Zones
(FTZ)–A number of commenters
requested that the steel licensing
requirement should remain a
requirement at the time of admission to
a FTZ and not upon Customs entry into
the U.S. Customs territory.
Response 4: The Department will
continue to require a license from
importers who bring steel to an FTZ
only when it is first entered into the
FTZ. The Department acknowledges the
difficulty of identifying specific steel
components upon exit of the steel
product from the FTZ into the U.S.
economy.
Comment 5: Blanket License—A few
commenters stated that the current
system should allow blanket licenses.
Response 5: The Department does not
intend to make blanket licenses
available. The Department is pleased to
report that the data collected from the
licensing system matches closely the
Census data when it is published
several weeks after the SIMA release. If
the Department were to allow users to
file blanket licenses, it would be
difficult to reconcile other data with the
licensing data and the accuracy of the
monitoring system would deteriorate.
Comment 6: Text file of raw data—A
number of commenters requested that
the Department release data in a text
format that includes both quantity and
value data.
Response 6: The Department intends
to publish a 6-column text file on its
Web site and update it weekly. This text
file would be composed of country, HTS
code, quantity, value, price, and month
of importation.
On June 9, 2005, the product coverage
of the SIMA system expanded to
include all basic steel mill products
(which are listed in full in the annex).
At the same time certain downstream
steel products, which were formerly
covered products (certain fittings and
flanges, certain cold formed shapes, and
certain bars) were removed from the
licensing requirement. Please refer to
the SIMA Web site for a full listing of

05DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 232 / Monday, December 5, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
the detailed product code changes and
requirements.
For the reasons discussed above, the
interim rule (19 CFR 360) published on
March 11, 2005 (70 FR 12133) is
finalized without changes.
Executive Order 12866
This rule has been determined to be
significant for purposes of Executive
Order 12866.
Executive Order 13132
This rule does not contain policies
with federalism implications as that
term is defined in EO 13132.
Structural Shapes Heavy
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because notice and opportunity for
comment are not required pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the
analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore, a
regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule contains collection-ofinformation requirements subject to
review and approval by OMB under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). These
requirements have been approved by
OMB (OMB No.: 0625–0245; Expiration
Date: 06/30/2008). Public reporting for
this collection of information is
estimated to be less than 10 minutes per
response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, and completing
and reviewing the collection of
information. All responses to this
collection of information are voluntary,
and will be provided confidentially to
the extent allowed by law.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall any person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act unless that
collection displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number.

Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis System
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce publishes this action to make final
an interim final rule that extended and expanded the Steel Import
Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) system until March 21, 2009. This action
also expands the list of covered items to include all basic steel mill
products, but it also removes certain downstream steel products, which
were formerly covered products (certain fittings and flanges, certain
cold formed shapes, and certain bars). The purpose of the SIMA system
is to provide statistical data on steel imports entering the United
States seven weeks earlier than is otherwise publicly available. The
data collected on the licenses are made available to the public in an
aggregated form weekly after Commerce review.
DATES: This final rule is effective December 5, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information on the SIMA system,
please contact Kelly Parkhill (202) 482-3791; Julie Al-Saadawi (202)
482-1930.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIMA system (formerly referred to as
Steel Monitoring and Analysis system) was originally outlined in the
President's March 5, 2002, Proclamation about Steel Safeguards, which
also placed tariffs temporarily on many steel imports and provided the
steel industry time to restructure. The monitoring system outlined in
the President's Proclamation required all importers of steel products
to obtain a license from the Department of Commerce prior to completing
their Customs import summary documentation. The original intent was to
provide a monitoring tool to ensure that the effectiveness of the
safeguard was not undermined by large quantities of imports originating
from countries that were excluded from the tariffs. On December 4,
2003, the President issued a proclamation that terminated the steel
safeguard measures, but directed the Secretary of Commerce to continue
the monitoring system until the earlier of March 21, 2005, or such time
as the Secretary of Commerce establishes a replacement program. On
December 9, 2003, the Department of Commerce published a notice stating
that the system would continue in effect as described in the
Proclamation until March 21, 2005 (68 FR 68594).
On August 25, 2004, the Department published an advanced notice of
proposed rulemaking soliciting comments from the public on whether to
continue the monitoring system beyond March 21, 2005 (69 FR 52211) and,
if extended, whether the system should be modified in any way. The
Department received a number of submissions from a wide range of
interested parties, including steel producers, steel consumers, steel
suppliers, and importers as well as Congressional and foreign
interests. On March 11, 2005, the Department published an interim final
rule responding to these comments from the public and implementing a
slightly expanded version of SIMA until March 21, 2009. The Department
received forty-two submissions from a wide range of interested parties.
Please refer to the SIMA system's Web site to read the comments on the
Interim Rule and for further information about the SIMA system: https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/steel/license/.
Final Rule
The purpose of the SIMA system is to collect timely detailed
statistics on steel imports and to provide stakeholders with
information about import trends in this sector. The SIMA system
aggregates detailed import statistics it collects from internet-
generated licenses and makes the data available for public analysis on
a weekly basis. The data gathering
[[Page 72374]]
procedure through the online licensing system remains the same as it
was described in the interim final rule. While the import monitor will
continue to display aggregate statistical tables and graphs of U.S.
steel imports combining data from the Census Bureau with data collected
from the licensing system, it will be altered somewhat in response to
comments received. However, these modifications do not require
regulatory action and have no impact on the interim regulations, which
will be finalized without changes.
As stated in the interim final rule, the Department extended the
SIMA system for a period of four years beginning March 21, 2005 (see 19
CFR 360). The Department has also expanded the coverage of the system
to include all basic steel mill products and will release aggregate
licensing data at the 6-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) product
level detail on the monitoring Web site.
In response to a number of comments received, the Department plans
to make some changes in the monitoring section. The Department intends
to add certain downstream steel products, identified during the comment
period. These additional products will be available on the SIMA import
monitoring Web site and will cover publicly available data only. The
Department also intends to include export data and possibly domestic
shipment data, which would provide an indicator of apparent consumption
of steel in the United States. In addition, the Department plans to
provide import data broken out by carbon, alloy, and stainless grades.
Comments
Submissions received during the public comment period established
in the interim final rule have been considered in preparing this final
rule. Forty-two submissions were received from a wide range of sources:
members of Congress, consumers, producers, and importers. Nearly all of
the comments were supportive of extension and expansion of the SIMA
system to steel mill products and agreed that it is a critical tool
that helps the industry to closely monitor steel imports. The comments
are summarized below and listed in order of their frequency:
Comment 1: Expansion of the SIMA system to include various
downstream steel products--The majority of the submitted comments
supported expansion of the SIMA system to include downstream steel
products, particularly downstream steel wire products such as steel
wire strand and rope and cables (HTS 7312), barbed wire (HTS 7313),
steel wire cloth, grill, netting, and fencing (HTS 7314), steel wire
nails and staples (HTS 7317), steel springs (HTS 7320), and steel wire
garment hangers (HTS 7326.20.0020). A small number of commenters stated
that butt-weld fittings and flanges should be covered in the new SIMA
system and that the Department should provide import data broken out by
carbon, alloy, and stainless grades.
Response 1: The Department will not expand coverage of the SIMA
system to require licensing for the requested downstream steel
products. Although the Department recognizes that certain segments of
the steel industry are interested in the Department's licensing and
monitoring of these downstream steel products, the sheer volume of
entries associated with many of these downstream steel products (nails
and staples, springs, fittings and flanges and wire hangers) greatly
increases the burden of the system on the trading community and could
potentially overwhelm the SIMA system. However, in response to the
comments received, the Department intends to include publicly available
import data for these products in a separate section of the SIMA
monitoring system. The Department also intends to provide import data
broken out by carbon, alloy, and stainless steel grades.
Comment 2: Additional Data on Steel Exports and Shipments--The
Department received a comment in one of the early comment periods that
requests the Department to provide statistics on steel availability.
The commenter wants to see shipment data and export data in addition to
imports. By including all three concepts, the commenter argues, the
SIMA system would paint a better picture of the available steel supply
in the U.S. than relying only on imports.
Response 2: In addition to import data, the Department intends to
provide certain publicly available steel export data in the SIMA
monitoring system. The Department is also exploring the possibility of
reporting domestic shipment data to provide an indicator of U.S.
apparent consumption. These changes to the SIMA system do not involve
regulatory changes and do not affect the interim regulations.
Comment 3: Reporting Level--A number of the submissions requested
that the level of product detail presented in the monitor should be at
the 10-digit HTS level. The commenters voiced concerns over reporting
at the 6-digit HTS level stating that the product's features and use
are often not revealed at the 6-digit HTS levels. Several commenters
also suggested that the Department should aggregate data by port of
entry.
Response 3: The Department will continue to report aggregate data
at the 6-digit HTS level only. The Department does not intend to
publish data in any greater product detail than at the 6-digit HTS
level because of the possibility of inadvertent release of proprietary
information. The Department does not intend to release aggregate port
of entry data for the same reason. However, the Department will publish
historical percentage allocations for 6-digit HTS codes to the
aggregate steel categories to assist users in their analysis of the
data.
Comment 4: Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ)-A number of commenters
requested that the steel licensing requirement should remain a
requirement at the time of admission to a FTZ and not upon Customs
entry into the U.S. Customs territory.
Response 4: The Department will continue to require a license from
importers who bring steel to an FTZ only when it is first entered into
the FTZ. The Department acknowledges the difficulty of identifying
specific steel components upon exit of the steel product from the FTZ
into the U.S. economy.
Comment 5: Blanket License--A few commenters stated that the
current system should allow blanket licenses.
Response 5: The Department does not intend to make blanket licenses
available. The Department is pleased to report that the data collected
from the licensing system matches closely the Census data when it is
published several weeks after the SIMA release. If the Department were
to allow users to file blanket licenses, it would be difficult to
reconcile other data with the licensing data and the accuracy of the
monitoring system would deteriorate.
Comment 6: Text file of raw data--A number of commenters requested
that the Department release data in a text format that includes both
quantity and value data.
Response 6: The Department intends to publish a 6-column text file
on its Web site and update it weekly. This text file would be composed
of country, HTS code, quantity, value, price, and month of importation.
On June 9, 2005, the product coverage of the SIMA system expanded
to include all basic steel mill products (which are listed in full in
the annex). At the same time certain downstream steel products, which
were formerly covered products (certain fittings and flanges, certain
cold formed shapes, and certain bars) were removed from the licensing
requirement. Please refer to the SIMA Web site for a full listing of
[[Page 72375]]
the detailed product code changes and requirements.
For the reasons discussed above, the interim rule (19 CFR 360)
published on March 11, 2005 (70 FR 12133) is finalized without changes.
Classification
Executive Order 12866
This rule has been determined to be significant for purposes of
Executive Order 12866.
Executive Order 13132
This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications as
that term is defined in EO 13132.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule contains collection-of-information requirements
subject to review and approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA). These requirements have been approved by OMB (OMB No.: 0625-
0245; Expiration Date: 06/30/2008). Public reporting for this
collection of information is estimated to be less than 10 minutes per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, and completing
and reviewing the collection of information. All responses to this
collection of information are voluntary, and will be provided
confidentially to the extent allowed by law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required
to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure
to comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act unless that collection displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number.
