요약

In a notice published on October 26, 2001 (66 F.R. 54321) (Notice), the Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) established procedures for interested persons to request the exclusion of particular products from any action the President might take under section 203 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, (19 U.S.C. 2253) (Trade Act) with regard to certain steel products. Presidential Proclamation 7529 of March 5, 2002 established such actions (safeguard measures) with regard to certain steel products, but excluded some of the particular products identified in requests for exclusion made in response to the Notice. See 67 F.R. 10553 (March 7, 2002). Proclamation 7529 authorized the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to further consider requests for exclusion of particular products (exclusion requests) submitted in accordance with the procedures set out in the Notice. The USTR is establishing procedures for further consideration of such requests and, to the extent possible, for consideration of exclusion requests submitted after the time period specified in the Notice.
