Low Enriched Uranium From France: Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review

요약

Pursuant to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.216 and 351.221(c)(3), the Department of Commerce (Department) is conducting a changed circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on low-enriched uranium (LEU) from France with respect to Global Nuclear Fuel--Americas, LLC (GNF-A). The Department preliminarily determines that changed circumstances exist which have affected the ability of GNF-A to manage its inventory and re-exports of LEU in compliance with the AD order. Furthermore, we preliminarily determine that these changed circumstances warrant: (1) authorizing GNF-A to make certain entries of LEU from France under the provision in the scope that excludes LEU from the AD order when it enters solely for purposes of fabrication into fuel rods and re- exportation to a third country customer; and (2) determining that certain entries of LEU by GNF-A have satisfied the conditions for exclusion from the AD order. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
