enriched uranium (LEU) from France.1
The period of review (POR) is February
1, 2012, through January 31, 2013. The
review covers one producer or exporter
of the subject merchandise, Eurodif
S.A., AREVA NC, and AREVA NC, Inc.
(collectively AREVA). The Department
preliminarily determines that AREVA
made no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. We invite
interested parties to comment on these
preliminary results. The deadline for the
preliminary results of this review was
March 17, 2014. Due to the closure of
the Federal Government in Washington,
DC on March 17, 2014, the Department
reached this determination on the next

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
all low-enriched uranium. Lowenriched uranium 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 lowenriched uranium produced through the
down-blending of highly enriched
uranium).2
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
AREVA timely filed a ‘‘no shipment’’
certification stating that they had no
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR. However, data that the
Department obtained from U.S. Customs
and Border Protection showed entries of
LEU from AREVA during the POR. The
Department issued two questionnaires
to AREVA, and received timely
responses. Based on the questionnaire
responses filed by AREVA, we
preliminarily determine that AREVA
had no shipments of merchandise
subject to the antidumping order on
LEU from France during the POR. In
addition, the Department finds that it is
not appropriate to rescind the review
with respect to AREVA but, rather, to
complete the review and issue
appropriate instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
based on the final results of this review,
as is our current practice.3

Assessment Rates
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results
and submit written arguments or case
briefs within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice, unless
otherwise notified by the Department.7
Parties are reminded that written
comments or case briefs are not the
place for submitting new factual
material. Rebuttal briefs, limited to
issues raised in the case briefs, will be
due five days later.8 Parties that submit
case or rebuttal briefs are requested to
submit with each argument: (1) A
statement of the issue; and (2) a brief
summary of the argument. Parties are
requested to provide a summary of the
arguments not to exceed five pages and
a table of statutes, regulations, and cases
cited.
Any interested party who wishes to
request a hearing, or to participate if one
is requested, must submit a written
request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance within 30
days after the day of publication of this
notice. A request should contain: (1)
The party’s name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be
discussed.9 Issues raised in the hearing
will be limited to those raised in case
briefs. The Department will issue the
final results of administrative review,
including the results of our analysis of
issues raised in any briefs, within 90
days after the date on which the
preliminary results were issued, unless
the deadline for the final results is
extended.10
Since the Department preliminarily
found that AREVA had no shipments
during the POR, we did not calculate
importer-specific assessment rates for
these preliminary results of review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by companies
included in the final results of review
for which these companies did not
know that the merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate un-reviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.5
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Preliminary Determination of Revised
Entry Requirements
During the course of this review, the
Department identified irregularities
associated with AREVA’s filing of the
required certifications for reexportation.4 In light of these problems,
and to ensure proper enforcement of the
order, the Department preliminarily
determines that shipments of LEU from
France by AREVA, where the importer
claims the above-noted scope exclusion,
shall be suspended as antidumping
entries with a cash deposit requirement
of zero percent ad valorem. These
requirements will be effective as of the
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of
LEU from France entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for
AREVA will remain unchanged from the
rate assigned to the company in the
most recently completed review of that
company, except for entries excluded
from the order under the re-export
provision of the scope, which will
require a cash deposit rate of zero
percent; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less-thanfair-value investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 19.95
percent, the all-others rate established
in the investigation.6 These cash deposit

Low-Enriched Uranium From France; Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012-2013
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, formerly Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on low-enriched
uranium (LEU) from France.\1\ The period of review (POR) is February 1,
2012, through January 31, 2013. The review covers one producer or
exporter of the subject merchandise, Eurodif S.A., AREVA NC, and AREVA
NC, Inc. (collectively AREVA). The Department preliminarily determines
that AREVA made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. We
invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. The
deadline for the preliminary results of this review was March 17, 2014.
Due to the closure of the Federal Government in Washington, DC on March
17, 2014, the Department reached this determination on the next
business day (i.e., March 18, 2014). See Notice of Clarification:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is all low-enriched uranium. Low-
enriched uranium 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 low-enriched uranium produced
through the down-blending of highly enriched uranium).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ For a full description of the scope of the order, see
``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review: Low-Enriched Uranium from France: 2012-
2013'' from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations to Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance (Preliminary
Decision Memorandum), dated concurrently with these results and
hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a full
description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
[[Page 15956]]
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``IA
ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov, and it 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 Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary
Decision Memorandum and electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
AREVA timely filed a ``no shipment'' certification stating that
they had no entries of subject merchandise during the POR. However,
data that the Department obtained from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection showed entries of LEU from AREVA during the POR. The
Department issued two questionnaires to AREVA, and received timely
responses. Based on the questionnaire responses filed by AREVA, we
preliminarily determine that AREVA had no shipments of merchandise
subject to the antidumping order on LEU from France during the POR. In
addition, the Department finds that it is not appropriate to rescind
the review with respect to AREVA but, rather, to complete the review
and issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) based on the final results of this review, as is our
current practice.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand:

12, 2013) and the accompanying Decision Memorandum at 7-8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of Revised Entry Requirements
During the course of this review, the Department identified
irregularities associated with AREVA's filing of the required
certifications for re-exportation.\4\ In light of these problems, and
to ensure proper enforcement of the order, the Department preliminarily
determines that shipments of LEU from France by AREVA, where the
importer claims the above-noted scope exclusion, shall be suspended as
antidumping entries with a cash deposit requirement of zero percent ad
valorem. These requirements will be effective as of the date of
publication of the final results of this administrative review. We
invite all interested parties to comment on this issue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Since the Department preliminarily found that AREVA had no
shipments during the POR, we did not calculate importer-specific
assessment rates for these preliminary results of review.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in the final
results of review for which these companies did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of LEU from France entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for AREVA will remain unchanged from
the rate assigned to the company in the most recently completed review
of that company, except for entries excluded from the order under the
re-export provision of the scope, which will require a cash deposit
rate of zero percent; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the less-than-fair-value investigation, but the manufacturer is, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent
period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to
be 19.95 percent, the all-others rate established in the
investigation.\6\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to the importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
These preliminary results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
