Notice of Request for Public
Comments by the Titanium Sponge
Working Group
Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of request for public
comments.
AGENCY:
In March of 2019, the
Secretary initiated an investigation
under Section 232 of the Trade
Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, to
determine the effects on the national
security from imports of titanium
sponge. In February of 2020, the
President issued a memorandum
concurring with the Secretary’s findings
that titanium sponge imports threatened
to impair U.S. national security. The
President’s concurrence also agreed that
actions to adjust imports under Section
232, such as tariffs, should not be taken
at this time and established an
interagency working group. The work of
the Titanium Sponge Working Group
has proceeded in exploring measures to
ensure access to titanium sponge in the
United States for use for national
defense and in critical industries during
an emergency, and at this time the
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is
seeking public comments to better
inform the deliberations of the working
group.
DATES: The due date for filing original
comments is January 11, 2021. The due
date for rebuttal comments is January
25, 2021. Rebuttal comments may only
address issues raised in the original
comment it is filed under, which was
filed on or before January 11, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Submissions: All written
comments on the notice must be
addressed to the Titanium Sponge
Working Group and filed through the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 4, 2019, in response to a
petition, the Secretary initiated an
investigation under Section 232 of the
Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), to determine
the effects on the national security from
imports of titanium sponge. This
petition led the Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) to publish a Notice of
Request for Public Comments on Section
232 National Security Investigation of
Imports of Titanium Sponge on March
8, 2019 (84 FR 8503). The March 8, 2019
notice requested comments specific to
the status of the titanium sponge
industrial base in the United States.
While the comments received were
pertinent, several developments have
occurred since the end of that notice
period that warrant this notice of
request for additional comments.
On November 29, 2019, the Secretary
transmitted to the President a report on
the Section 232 investigation in which
he found that titanium sponge imports
threatened to impair the national
security, and stated that there is a risk
of the United States being completely
dependent on imports of titanium
sponge and could therefore lack surge
capacity required to support defense
and critical industries needs in an
extended national emergency. On
February 27, 2020, the President issued
a memorandum regarding the Section
232 investigation into whether imports
of titanium sponge threatened to impair
the national security. The President
concurred with the Secretary’s finding
that imports of titanium sponge
threatened to impair U.S. national
security, and also agreed with the
Secretary’s recommendation that he not
take actions to adjust imports under
Section 232 at that time. Instead, the
President directed the Secretaries of
Commerce and Defense to form a
working group, along with other
executive departments and agencies that
they deemed appropriate, to develop
recommended actions.
The Titanium Sponge Working Group
(TSWG), established at the President’s
direction, consists of the following
permanent members: The Departments
of Commerce, Defense, Interior, and
State, which are joined by rotating
members from other U.S. Government
agencies as needed. The goal of the
TSWG is to reach interagency agreement
on measures needed to ensure access to
titanium sponge in the United States for
