Abstract Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (‘‘the Secretary’’) to conduct comprehensive investigations to determine the effects of imports of any article on the national security of the United States. On March 8, 2018, President Trump issued Proclamations 9704 and 9705, imposing duties on imports of aluminum and steel, and authorizing the Secretary to grant exclusions from the duties ‘‘if the Secretary determines the steel or aluminum article for which the exclusion is requested is not produced in the United States in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or of a satisfactory quality or should be excluded based upon specific national security considerations.’’ The President further directed that the Secretary issue procedures for requesting such exclusions within ten days of the issuance of these Proclamations. The purpose of this information collection is to allow for submission of objections to the exclusions requests from the remedies instituted in presidential proclamations adjusting imports of steel into the United States and adjusting imports of aluminum into the United States. The information submitted is evaluated and used by BIS’s Office of Strategic Industries and Economic Security (OSIES) to make a recommendation to the Secretary or their designee(s) regarding the favorability of each Exclusion Request, taking into account any national security considerations as well as any received Objections, Rebuttals, and/or Surrebuttals.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is 
suspended.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, 
the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate

can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for 
the review period.\9\ As noted above, there were no suspended entries 
of subject merchandise for the companies subject to this review during 
the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this 
administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).
