SUMMARY: On March 7, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of its third administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on low
enriched uranium (LEU) from France.
The review covers one producer of the
subject merchandise. The period of
review (POR) is February 1, 2004
through January 31, 2005. Based on our
analysis of the comments received, we
have made changes to the preliminary
results. For the final dumping margins
see the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’
section below.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 5, 2006.

Background
On March 7, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the third
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on LEU from
France. See Low Enriched Uranium
From France: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 71 FR 11386 (March 7, 2006)
(Preliminary Results).
Since the Preliminary Results the
following events have occurred. As
noted in the Preliminary Results, in
accordance with section 773(f)(3) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and section 351.407(b) of our
regulations, we decided to conduct an
analysis to determine whether the
respondent’s purchases of electricity
´
´
from its affiliated supplier, Electricite de
France (EdF), were made at prices below
the cost of production (COP) during the
POR. See Memorandum to Barbara E.
Tillman from Mark Hoadley, Petitioners’

dated January 25, 2006. Subsequent to
respondent’s initial response concerning
this major input, the Department issued
a supplemental questionnaire on March
16, 2006, seeking clarification on EdF’s
COP information. A timely response
was received on March 30, 2006.
On May 1, 2006, we received case
briefs from the sole respondent, Eurodif
S.A., AREVA NC (formerly Compagnie
´ ´
´
´
Generale Des Matieres Nucleaires, S.A.)
and AREVA NC Inc. (formerly
COGEMA, Inc.) (collectively, Eurodif/
AREVA, the respondent), and the
petitioner, the United States Enrichment
Corporation and USEC Inc. (collectively,
USEC). Eurodif/AREVA and USEC
submitted their rebuttal briefs on May 9,
2006. The petitioner requested a hearing
on May 2, 2006, but withdrew its
request on May 9, 2006.
On July 7, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice extending the deadline for the
final results from July 5, 2006 to August
21, 2006. See Low Enriched Uranium
from France: Extension of Time Limit
for Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 71 FR 38611
(July 7, 2006).
Scope of the 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 downblending 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
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:24 Sep 01, 2006
Jkt 208001
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
designed transporter(s) while in U.S.
customs territory, and (ii) are reexported 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
The issues raised in all case and
rebuttal briefs by parties to this
administrative review are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum
to David M. Spooner, Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration (Decision
Memorandum), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues addressed in the Decision
Memorandum is appended to this
notice. The Decision Memorandum is on
file in the Central Records Unit (CRU),
and can be accessed directly on the Web
at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper
copy and electronic version of the
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received, we have made adjustments to
our margin calculations. The
adjustments are discussed in detail in
the Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we
determine that the following weightedaverage margin exists for the period
February 1, 2004 through January 31,
2005:

on all appropriate entries, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department
calculated importer-specific duty
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the examined sales
to the total entered value of the
examined sales for that importer. The
Department will not issue liquidation
instructions for any entries of Eurodif
merchandise until such time as the July
1, 2002 injunction issued by the Court
of International Trade is lifted.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period
of review produced by the company
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed company did
not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the all
others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company involved in the
transaction. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Cash Deposits
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of LEU from
France entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the publication date of these final
results, as provided by section 751(a) of
the Act: (1) for Eurodif/AREVA, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate listed above;
(2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in
this review but covered in a previous
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company–specific rate published in the
most recent final results in which that
producer or exporter participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review or in any previous segment of
this proceeding, but the producer is, the
cash deposit rate will be that established
for the producer of the merchandise in
these final results of review or in the
most recent final results in which that
producer participated; and (4) if neither
the exporter nor the producer is a firm
covered in this review or in any
previous segment of this proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will be 19.95 percent,

This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant

Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred, and in the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.

Comment 11: Correction to Net U.S.

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act),
requires the Department to issue the
final results of an administrative review
within 120 days after the date on which
the preliminary results were published.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within this time
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff
Act allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the final results to 180
days from the date of publication of the
preliminary results.
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete this review
within the original time frame due to a
number of significant case issues,
including the calculation of parent
company interest expenses and general
and administrative expenses.
Furthermore, additional time is
necessary for the Department to analyze

the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2),
the Department is extending the time
limit for completion of the final results
of this administrative review until no

Low Enriched Uranium from France: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 7, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of its third administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on low enriched uranium (LEU) from France.
The review covers one producer of the subject merchandise. The period
of review (POR) is February 1, 2004 through January 31, 2005. Based on
our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes to the
preliminary results. For the final dumping margins see the ``Final
Results of Review'' section below.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 5, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Hoadley or Myrna Lobo, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3148 or (202)
482-2371, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 7, 2006, the Department published in the Federal Register
the preliminary results of the third administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on LEU from France. See Low Enriched Uranium
From France: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 71 FR 11386 (March 7, 2006) (Preliminary Results).
Since the Preliminary Results the following events have occurred.
As noted in the Preliminary Results, in accordance with section
773(f)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and section
351.407(b) of our regulations, we decided to conduct an analysis to
determine whether the respondent's purchases of electricity from its
affiliated supplier, [Eacute]lectricit[eacute] de France (EdF), were
made at prices below the cost of production (COP) during the POR. See
Memorandum to Barbara E. Tillman from Mark Hoadley, Petitioners'
Allegation of Purchases of a Major Input From Electricit[eacute] de
France (EdF), an Affiliated Party, at Prices Below the Affiliated
Party's Cost of Production,
[[Page 52319]]
dated January 25, 2006. Subsequent to respondent's initial response
concerning this major input, the Department issued a supplemental
questionnaire on March 16, 2006, seeking clarification on EdF's COP
information. A timely response was received on March 30, 2006.
On May 1, 2006, we received case briefs from the sole respondent,
Eurodif S.A., AREVA NC (formerly Compagnie G[eacute]n[eacute]rale Des
Mati[eacute]res Nucl[eacute]aires, S.A.) and AREVA NC Inc. (formerly
COGEMA, Inc.) (collectively, Eurodif/AREVA, the respondent), and the
petitioner, the United States Enrichment Corporation and USEC Inc.
(collectively, USEC). Eurodif/AREVA and USEC submitted their rebuttal
briefs on May 9, 2006. The petitioner requested a hearing on May 2,
2006, but withdrew its request on May 9, 2006.
On July 7, 2006, the Department published in the Federal Register a
notice extending the deadline for the final results from July 5, 2006
to August 21, 2006. See Low Enriched Uranium from France: Extension of
Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,
71 FR 38611 (July 7, 2006).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is all low enriched uranium
(LEU). LEU is enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF[bdi6]) with a
U[bdi2][bdi3][bdi5] product assay of less than 20 percent that has not
been converted into another chemical form, such as UO[bdi2], 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[bdi2][bdi3][bdi5] 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 (UO[bdi2]), whether or
not contained in nuclear fuel rods or assemblies. Natural uranium
concentrates (U[bdi3]O[bdi8]) with a U[bdi2][bdi3][bdi5] concentration
of no greater than 0.711 percent and natural uranium concentrates
converted into uranium hexafluoride with a U[bdi2][bdi3][bdi5]
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 (UO[bdi2]) 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 designed 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.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments received, we have made
adjustments to our margin calculations. The adjustments are discussed
in detail in the Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we determine that the following
weighted-average margin exists for the period February 1, 2004 through
January 31, 2005:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manufacturer/Exporter Margin (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eurodif/AREVA....................................... 14.60
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department calculated
importer-specific duty assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of
the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of the examined sales for that
importer. The Department will not issue liquidation instructions for
any entries of Eurodif merchandise until such time as the July 1, 2002
injunction issued by the Court of International Trade is lifted.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period of review produced by the company
included in these final results of review for which the reviewed
company did not know their merchandise was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Cash Deposits
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of LEU from France entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date of these final results, as
provided by section 751(a) of the Act: (1) for Eurodif/AREVA, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate listed above; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a previous segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the most
recent final results in which that producer or exporter participated;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in any
previous segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, the cash
deposit rate will be that established for the producer of the
merchandise in these final results of review or in the most recent
final results in which that producer participated; and (4) if neither
the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in this review or in
any previous segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be
19.95 percent, the ``all others'' rate established in the
investigation. See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Low Enriched Uranium
from
[[Page 52320]]
France, 67 FR 6680 (February 13, 2002). These deposit requirements
shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the
next administrative review.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred, and in the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice is the only reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely
written notification of the return or 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.
We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 21, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
