Low Enriched Uranium From France:
Final Results of the Expedited Second
Sunset Review of the Antidumping
Duty Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
DATES: Effective Date: April 9, 2013.
SUMMARY: On December 1, 2012, the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) initiated the second
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on low enriched uranium (‘‘LEU’’)
from France. The Department finds that
revocation of this antidumping duty
order would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
at the rates identified in the ‘‘Final
Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The antidumping duty order on LEU
from France was published on February
13, 2002. See Notice of Amended Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Antidumping Duty
Order: Low Enriched Uranium From
France, 67 FR 6680 (February 13, 2002).
On December 1, 2012, the Department
initiated the second sunset review of
this order pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). See Initiation of Five-Year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 77 FR 71684
(December 3, 2012). The Department
received a notice of intent to participate
from USEC, Inc. and its subsidiary
United States Enrichment Corporation
(collectively, ‘‘USEC’’ or ‘‘domestic
interested party’’), within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
USEC is a manufacturer of a domestic
like product in the United States and,
accordingly, is a domestic interested
party pursuant to section 771(9)(C) of
the Act.
On January 3, 2013, the Department
received an adequate substantive
response to the notice of initiation from
the domestic interested party within the
30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM

sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department
received no response from the
respondent interested parties, i.e.,
French uranium producers and
exporters. On the basis of the notice of
intent to participate and adequate
substantive response filed by the
domestic interested party and the
inadequate response from the
respondent interested parties, the
Department has conducted an expedited
sunset review of this order pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C). As a result of
this expedited sunset review, the
Department finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty order is likely to lead
to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the levels indicated in the
‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the 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 the order. Specifically, the
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 the order. For purposes of the
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 the order.
Also excluded from the 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
designed transporter(s) while in U.S.
customs territory, and (ii) are reexported
within eighteen (18) months of entry of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
the LEU for consumption by the enduser 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 classified 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
subject to the order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum (‘‘Decision
Memorandum’’) from Edward C. Yang,
Senior Director, China/Non-Market
Economy Unit, to Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated April 2, 2013,
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
The issues discussed in the Decision
Memorandum are the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping,
and the magnitude of the margins of
dumping likely to prevail if the order
were revoked. Parties can find a
complete discussion of all issues raised
in this review and the corresponding
recommendations in this public
memorandum which is on file
electronically via Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
IA ACCESS is available to registered
users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit in room 7046 of the main
Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
on the Internet at https://trade.gov/ia/.
The signed Decision Memorandum and
electronic versions of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 752(c)(1) and (3)
of the Act, we determine that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on
uranium from France would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping. Further, we determine that
the magnitude of the margins of
dumping likely to prevail are as follows:

Also excluded from the order is LEU owned by a foreign utility end-
