The following material is in response
to comments received on this proposed
addition. This information was
provided to the Committee for their
consideration.
Comments were received from the
current contractor, a subcontractor for
the service, an employee of the
subcontractor, and a frequent camper on
parkland involved in this service. All
these persons objected to addition of the
service to the Procurement List.
The service to be performed by a
nonprofit agency has been removed
from the coverage of the current
contract. The current contractor claimed
that removal of these functions will
result in a significant reduction in the
contractor’s revenue base and severely
affect its financial stability, while
making it less competitive to recover the
revenue elsewhere.
The period for which the contractor
submitted revenues to the Committee
includes windfall revenues due to
increased hurricane activity during that
period. Removal of these windfalls
reduces the estimated revenue loss
attributable to the addition of the
service to the Procurement List to a

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 160 / Friday, August 18, 2006 / Notices
level which the Committee does not
normally consider to be an adverse
impact on a contractor.
The subcontractor and its employee
indicated that addition of the service to
the Procurement List would have a
serious economic impact on the
company, its workers, and the
depressed rural area where the service
is performed. The nonprofit agency
which will be performing the service
will do some subcontracting, which
could mitigate this economic impact. In
addition, people with severe disabilities
have an unemployment rate of
approximately 70 percent, which
exceeds the unemployment rate of the
persons likely to be adversely affected
by this addition to the Procurement List.
Consequently, the affected persons are
more likely than those who will be
employed on the project to find other
work. Given that circumstance, and the
Committee’s mission to create work for
people with severe disabilities, the
Committee believes that the
employment benefits of adding this
service to the Procurement List
outweigh the possible disadvantages the
addition may cause.
The subcontractor and its employee
also raised several safety and technical
issues concerning performance of the
service by people with severe
disabilities. They noted that some
mowing must be done on a high levee
with extremely steep sides and
surrounded by deep canals, and other
mowing is done in park areas filled with
expensive recreational vehicles and
other easily damaged obstacles, as the
frequent camper also noted. The
subcontractor employee asked if the
nonprofit agency has any experience in
doing this kind of work. The
subcontractor implied that acquisition
of the equipment needed to do the work
would put a further strain on the
national budget.
The nonprofit agency has several
grounds maintenance and custodial
contracts with the State of Florida, so
they are familiar with this kind of work.
They are in the process of obtaining the
specialized equipment needed to do the
work and hiring qualified personnel.
The Government will not pay extra to
allow the nonprofit agency to acquire
this equipment, which includes
enclosed cab tractors with built-in and
included safety equipment. The
nonprofit agency will conduct extensive
safety and other training to assure the
workers are fully capable of doing the
work. More experienced workers will be
used in the steeper areas, and the use of
people with severe disabilities will be
phased in to all facets of the work,
which includes custodial and security

as well as grounds maintenance
services, to assure that all workers are
able to do the work safely and
efficiently, with little or no damage to
persons or property.
After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of
qualified nonprofit agencies to provide
the products and impact of the
additions on the current or most recent
contractors, the Committee has
determined that the service listed below
is suitable for procurement by the
Federal Government under 41 U.S.C.
46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4.

Final Results of Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review: Low Enriched

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On February 15, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published in the Federal
Register its preliminary results of
administrative review of the
countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) order on
low enriched uranium (‘‘LEU’’) from
France for the period January 1, 2004,
through December 31, 2004 (see Notice
of Preliminary Results of Countervailing
Duty Administrative Review: Low
Enriched Uranium from France, 71 FR
7924 (February 15, 2006) (‘‘LEU 2004
Preliminary Results’’)). The Department
has now completed the administrative
review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’).
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, the Department has
not revised the net subsidy rate for
Eurodif S.A. (‘‘Eurodif’’)/Compagnie
Generale Des Matieres Nucleaires
(‘‘COGEMA’’), the producer/exporter of
subject merchandise covered by this
review. For further discussion of our
analysis of the comments received for
these final results, see the August 14,
2006, Issues and Decision Memorandum

Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, to David M. Spooner,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 15, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results for this review (see
LEU 2004 Preliminary Results). We
invited interested parties to comment on
the results. On March 20, 2006, we
received case briefs from petitioners1
and Eurodif/COGEMA and the
Government of France (‘‘GOF’’), the
respondents. On March 23, 2006, and
March 24, 2006, we received rebuttal
briefs from respondents and petitioners,
respectively. On May 2, 2006, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of extension of the
deadline for the final results of this
administrative review. See Low
Enriched Uranium from France:
Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results of Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review, 71 FR 25813
(May 2, 2006).
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,
2004, through December 31, 2004, and
two programs.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is
all 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
1 Petitioners are the United States Enrichment
Corporation (‘‘USEC’’) and USEC Inc.
