SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 11, 2018, the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary) transmitted a
report to the President on his
investigation into the effect of imports
of steel articles on the national security
of the United States. On January 19,
2018, the Secretary similarly
transmitted a report to the President on
his investigation into the effect of
imports of aluminum articles on the
national security of the United States.
Both reports were issued pursuant to
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act
of 1962, as amended.
In Proclamation 9704 of March 8,
2018 (Adjusting Imports of Aluminum
Into the United States), and
Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018
(Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the
United States), the President concurred
in the Secretary’s findings that
aluminum articles and steel articles
were being imported into the United
States in such quantities and under such
circumstances as to threaten to impair
the national security of the United
States. The President therefore decided
to take initial action to address the
threatened impairment by adjusting the
imports of aluminum articles, as defined
in Clause 1 of Proclamation 9704, as
amended, by imposing a 10 percent ad
valorem tariff on such articles imported
from most countries, beginning March
23, 2018. The President similarly
decided to take initial action by
adjusting the imports of steel articles, as
defined in Clause 1 of Proclamation
9705, as amended, by imposing a 25
percent ad valorem tariff on such
PO 00000

articles imported from most countries,
beginning March 23, 2018. In
subsequent Proclamations, the President
imposed quotas on imports of steel and
aluminum from Argentina, and steel
from Brazil and the Republic of Korea.
Exclusion Process
Proclamations 9704 and 9705
authorized the Secretary to provide
relief from the additional duties
imposed on steel and aluminum imports
for any steel or aluminum determined
not to be produced in the United States
in a sufficient and reasonably available
amount or of a satisfactory quality or
based on specific national security
considerations, after a request for relief
is made by a directly affected party
located in the United States.
On March 19, 2018, the Bureau of
Industry and Security issued the interim
final rule Requirements for Submissions
Requesting Exclusions from the
Remedies Instituted in Presidential
Proclamations Adjusting Imports of
Steel into the United States and
Adjusting Imports of Aluminum into the
United States; and the filing of
Objections to Submitted Exclusion
Requests for Steel and Aluminum (83
FR 12106) which established the
exclusion request process authorized by
Proclamations 9704 and 9705.
On August 29, 2018, Proclamations
9776 and 9777 authorized the Secretary
to provide relief from quantitative
restrictions (quotas) on steel and
aluminum imports established by prior
proclamations using the same criteria
set forth in Proclamations 9704 and
9705 and further authorized all relief
granted to be retroactive to the date the
request was accepted by the Department
of Commerce.
On September 11, 2018, BIS issued a
second interim final rule Submission of
Exclusion Requests and Objections to
Submitted Requests for Steel and
Aluminum (83 FR 46026), which
revised the exclusion request process,
including the addition of rebuttal and
surrebuttal submissions.
On June 10, 2019, BIS issued a third
interim final rule Implementation of
New Commerce Section 232 Exclusions
Portal (84 FR 26751), which
transitioned the exclusion request
process from the regulations.gov
platform to the Section 232 Exclusions
Portal.
To further inform the public on how
to use the exclusion process BIS has
posted website guidance, Frequently
Asked Questions, and training videos.
As of March 23, 2020, BIS has
received 179,128 exclusion requests,
with 157,983 for steel and 21,145 for
aluminum. Of those requests, 34,970
E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM
26MYN1
31442
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 101 / Tuesday, May 26, 2020 / Notices
were rejected and 33,297 received
objections. BIS has posted 114,009
decisions, with 78,569 exclusions being
granted and 25,440 exclusion requests
being denied.
BIS is seeking public comment on the
appropriateness of the factors
considered, and the efficiency and
transparency of the process employed,
in rendering decisions on requests for
exclusions from the tariffs and quotas
imposed on imports of steel and
aluminum articles.
Specific topics for potential
comments include: (1) The information
sought on the exclusion request,
objection, rebuttal and surrebuttal
forms; (2) expanding or restricting
eligibility requirements for requestors
and objectors; (3) the Section 232
Exclusions Portal; (4) the requirements
set forth in Federal Register Notices, 83
FR 12106, 83 FR 46026, and 84 FR
26751; (5) the factors considered in
rendering decisions on exclusion
requests; (6) the information published
with the decisions; (7) the BIS website
guidance and training videos; (8) the
definition of ‘‘product’’ governing when
separate exclusion requests must be
submitted; and (9) incorporation of steel
and aluminum derivative products into
the product exclusion process.
Comments can also address potential
revisions to the exclusion process,
including, but not limited to: (1) Oneyear blanket approvals of exclusion
requests for product types that have
received no objections as of a baseline
date (see Annex 1 and 2); (2) one-year
blanket denials of exclusion requests for
product types that have received 100
percent objection rates and never been
granted as of a baseline date (see Annex
3 and 4); (3) time-limited annual or
semi-annual windows during which all
product-specific exclusion requests and
corresponding objections may be
submitted and decided; (4) issuing an
interim denial memo to requesters who
receive a partial approval of their
exclusion request until they purchase
the domestically available portion of
their requested quantity; (5) requiring
requestors to make a good faith showing
of the need for the product in the
requested quantity, as well as that the
product will in fact be imported in the
quality and amount, and during the time
period, to which they attest in the
exclusion request (e.g., a ratified
contract, a statement of refusal to supply
the product by a domestic producer); (6)
requiring objectors to submit factual
evidence that they can in fact
manufacture the product in the quality
and amount, and during the time
period, to which they attest in the
objection; (7) setting a limit on the total
quantity of product that a single
company could be granted an exclusion
for based on an objective standard, such
as a specified percentage increase over
a three year average; (8) requiring that
requesters citing national security
reasons as a basis for an exclusion
request provide specific, articulable and
verifiable facts supporting such
assertion (e.g., a Department of Defense
contract requiring the product; a letter
of concurrence from the head of a U.S.
government agency or department that
national security necessitates that the
product be obtained in the quality,
quantity and time frame requested); (9)
clarifying that the domestic product is
‘‘reasonably available’’ if it can be
manufactured and delivered in a time
period that is equal to or less than that
of the imported product, as provided by
requestor in its exclusion request; (10)
requiring that requestors, at the time of
submission of their exclusion requests,
demonstrate that they have tried to
purchase this product domestically; (11)
in the rebuttal/surrebuttal phase,
requiring that both requestor and
objector demonstrate in their filings that
they have attempted to negotiate in good
faith an agreement on the said product
(i.e., producing legitimate commercial
correspondence).
Any specific details about the
commenters’ experience with the
exclusion/objection process as
background to their comment to this
NOI would be helpful.

Aluminum Extrusions From the
People’s Republic of China: Notice of
Second Amended Final Scope Ruling
Pursuant to Court Decision
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On May 22, 2018, the Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the
CAFC) reversed and remanded the Court
of International Trade’s (CIT) earlier
decision regarding the Department of
Commerce’s (Commerce) scope ruling
under the antidumping duty (AD) and
countervailing duty (CVD) orders on
aluminum extrusions from the People’s
Republic of China (China) involving
Meridian Products, LLC’s (Meridian’s)
Type B door handles. The CAFC
instructed the CIT to vacate Commerce’s
initial remand redetermination that the
CIT had previously sustained, reinstate
Commerce’s original scope ruling, and
remand for further proceedings
consistent with its opinion. In the
original scope ruling, Commerce found
that Meridian’s Type B door handles
were covered by the scope of the AD
and CVD orders. In Commerce’s
redetermination upon remand from the
CAFC, Commerce found that the
AGENCY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
extruded aluminum component of each
Type B handle is within the scope of the
AD and CVD orders while the other
components (plastic end caps and
screws) are not. On April 6, 2020, the
CIT sustained Commerce’s remand
redetermination. Accordingly,
Commerce is issuing a second amended
final scope ruling.
DATES:
Applicable May 26, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 21, 2013, Commerce issued a
final scope ruling in which it
determined that three types of kitchen
appliance door handles (Types A, B,
and C) imported by Meridian are within
the scope of the Orders 1 and do not
meet the scope exclusions for ‘‘finished
merchandise’’ and ‘‘finished goods
kits.’’ 2 Meridian challenged
1 See Aluminum Extrusions from the People’s
Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR
30650 (May 26, 2011); Aluminum Extrusions from
the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty
Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011) (collectively,
Orders).
2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Final Scope Ruling on
Meridian Kitchen Appliance Door Handles,’’ dated

Scope Ruling) at 12–15.

Commerce’s final scope ruling at the
CIT.
On December 7, 2015, the CIT
affirmed, in part, Commerce’s Kitchen
Appliance Door Handles Scope Ruling
finding that Meridian’s Type A handles
(consisting of a single piece of
aluminum extrusion) and Type C
handles (consisting of a single piece of
aluminum extrusion packed as a ‘‘kit’’
with a tool and an instruction manual)
are within the scope of the Orders based
on a plain reading of the scope
language.3 The CIT, however, remanded
Commerce’s determination that
Meridian’s Type B handles are also
within the scope of the Orders. The CIT
also instructed Commerce to provide
clarification on its scope ruling in view
of the CIT’s decision that Type B
handles are ‘‘assemblies’’ not within the
scope of orders, because the extruded
aluminum handles are packaged with
two plastic injection molded end caps
and two screws.4 The CIT further found
that, assuming arguendo that Meridian’s
Type B handles were covered by the
scope language, Commerce erred in
finding that the products did not satisfy
the scope’s ‘‘finished merchandise’’
exclusion.5
On March 23, 2016, Commerce issued
its Final Results of Redetermination, in
which it found, under respectful protest,
that Meridian’s Type B handles are not
covered by the scope of the Orders,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 11, 2018, the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary) transmitted a report to the President on his
investigation into the effect of imports of steel articles on the
national security of the United States. On January 19, 2018, the
Secretary similarly transmitted a report to the President on his
investigation into the effect of imports of aluminum articles on the
national security of the United States. Both reports were issued
pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended.
In Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of
Aluminum Into the United States), and Proclamation 9705 of March 8,
2018 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States), the President
concurred in the Secretary's findings that aluminum articles and steel
articles were being imported into the United States in such quantities
and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national
security of the United States. The President therefore decided to take
initial action to address the threatened impairment by adjusting the
imports of aluminum articles, as defined in Clause 1 of Proclamation
9704, as amended, by imposing a 10 percent ad valorem tariff on such
articles imported from most countries, beginning March 23, 2018. The
President similarly decided to take initial action by adjusting the
imports of steel articles, as defined in Clause 1 of Proclamation 9705,
as amended, by imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on such articles
imported from most countries, beginning March 23, 2018. In subsequent
Proclamations, the President imposed quotas on imports of steel and
aluminum from Argentina, and steel from Brazil and the Republic of
Korea.
Exclusion Process
Proclamations 9704 and 9705 authorized the Secretary to provide
relief from the additional duties imposed on steel and aluminum imports
for any steel or aluminum determined not to be produced in the United
States in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or of a
satisfactory quality or based on specific national security
considerations, after a request for relief is made by a directly
affected party located in the United States.
On March 19, 2018, the Bureau of Industry and Security issued the
interim final rule Requirements for Submissions Requesting Exclusions
from the Remedies Instituted in Presidential Proclamations Adjusting
Imports of Steel into the United States and Adjusting Imports of
Aluminum into the United States; and the filing of Objections to
Submitted Exclusion Requests for Steel and Aluminum (83 FR 12106) which
established the exclusion request process authorized by Proclamations
9704 and 9705.
On August 29, 2018, Proclamations 9776 and 9777 authorized the
Secretary to provide relief from quantitative restrictions (quotas) on
steel and aluminum imports established by prior proclamations using the
same criteria set forth in Proclamations 9704 and 9705 and further
authorized all relief granted to be retroactive to the date the request
was accepted by the Department of Commerce.
On September 11, 2018, BIS issued a second interim final rule
Submission of Exclusion Requests and Objections to Submitted Requests
for Steel and Aluminum (83 FR 46026), which revised the exclusion
request process, including the addition of rebuttal and surrebuttal
submissions.
On June 10, 2019, BIS issued a third interim final rule
Implementation of New Commerce Section 232 Exclusions Portal (84 FR
26751), which transitioned the exclusion request process from the
regulations.gov platform to the Section 232 Exclusions Portal.
To further inform the public on how to use the exclusion process
BIS has posted website guidance, Frequently Asked Questions, and
training videos.
As of March 23, 2020, BIS has received 179,128 exclusion requests,
with 157,983 for steel and 21,145 for aluminum. Of those requests,
34,970
[[Page 31442]]
were rejected and 33,297 received objections. BIS has posted 114,009
decisions, with 78,569 exclusions being granted and 25,440 exclusion
requests being denied.
BIS is seeking public comment on the appropriateness of the factors
considered, and the efficiency and transparency of the process
employed, in rendering decisions on requests for exclusions from the
tariffs and quotas imposed on imports of steel and aluminum articles.
Specific topics for potential comments include: (1) The information
sought on the exclusion request, objection, rebuttal and surrebuttal
forms; (2) expanding or restricting eligibility requirements for
requestors and objectors; (3) the Section 232 Exclusions Portal; (4)
the requirements set forth in Federal Register Notices, 83 FR 12106, 83
FR 46026, and 84 FR 26751; (5) the factors considered in rendering
decisions on exclusion requests; (6) the information published with the
decisions; (7) the BIS website guidance and training videos; (8) the
definition of ``product'' governing when separate exclusion requests
must be submitted; and (9) incorporation of steel and aluminum
derivative products into the product exclusion process.
Comments can also address potential revisions to the exclusion
process, including, but not limited to: (1) One-year blanket approvals
of exclusion requests for product types that have received no
objections as of a baseline date (see Annex 1 and 2); (2) one-year
blanket denials of exclusion requests for product types that have
received 100 percent objection rates and never been granted as of a
baseline date (see Annex 3 and 4); (3) time-limited annual or semi-
annual windows during which all product-specific exclusion requests and
corresponding objections may be submitted and decided; (4) issuing an
interim denial memo to requesters who receive a partial approval of
their exclusion request until they purchase the domestically available
portion of their requested quantity; (5) requiring requestors to make a
good faith showing of the need for the product in the requested
quantity, as well as that the product will in fact be imported in the
quality and amount, and during the time period, to which they attest in
the exclusion request (e.g., a ratified contract, a statement of
refusal to supply the product by a domestic producer); (6) requiring
objectors to submit factual evidence that they can in fact manufacture
the product in the quality and amount, and during the time period, to
which they attest in the objection; (7) setting a limit on the total
quantity of product that a single company could be granted an exclusion
for based on an objective standard, such as a specified percentage
increase over a three year average; (8) requiring that requesters
citing national security reasons as a basis for an exclusion request
provide specific, articulable and verifiable facts supporting such
assertion (e.g., a Department of Defense contract requiring the
product; a letter of concurrence from the head of a U.S. government
agency or department that national security necessitates that the
product be obtained in the quality, quantity and time frame requested);
(9) clarifying that the domestic product is ``reasonably available'' if
it can be manufactured and delivered in a time period that is equal to
or less than that of the imported product, as provided by requestor in
its exclusion request; (10) requiring that requestors, at the time of
submission of their exclusion requests, demonstrate that they have
tried to purchase this product domestically; (11) in the rebuttal/
surrebuttal phase, requiring that both requestor and objector
demonstrate in their filings that they have attempted to negotiate in
good faith an agreement on the said product (i.e., producing legitimate
commercial correspondence).
Any specific details about the commenters' experience with the
exclusion/objection process as background to their comment to this NOI
would be helpful.
