United States
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S.
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Request for Comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is hereby providing interested
parties an opportunity to comment on the latest draft Revision of the
Procedures for Delivery of HEU Natural Uranium Component in the United
States. All comments are due, by close of business, to the Department
of Commerce seven (7) days from the date of publication of this notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 13, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James C. Doyle, Karla Whalen, or
Juanita H. Chen, Enforcement Group III, Office VII, Import
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230, at
telephone: 202-482-3793.
Background
As set forth in the USEC Privatization Act, the Department of
Commerce (``the Department'') has the responsibility for the
administration and enforcement of the HEU Agreement. Pursuant to this
Act, the Department established the Procedures for Delivery of HEU
Natural Uranium Component in the United States (``HEU Procedures'') (63
FR 36391, July 6, 1998) to enforce the USEC Privatization Act mandate.
After requesting comments from parties on necessary or desirable
changes to the HEU Procedures (63 FR 54108, October 8, 1998), the
Department determined that revision and clarification of the HEU
Procedures were warranted. Revised HEU Procedures were published on
March 26, 1999, and parties were again invited to comment on necessary
or desirable changes (64 FR 14697, March 26, 1999). As the Department
has made substantive changes, in part as a result of parties' comments,
the Department has determined that comments on this latest revision of
the HEU Procedures are again appropriate.
Opportunity to Submit Comments
Parties wishing to comment on this latest revision of the HEU
Procedures have the opportunity to participate on the record. Parties
may submit comments with respect to these revised HEU Procedures by
close of business seven (7) days from publication of this notice. Seven
copies of the comments should be submitted to: Import Administration,
Central Records Unit, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230, Attention:
Roland L. MacDonald.
All comments provided to the Department in response to this notice
will be subject to release under the Freedom of Information Act
(``FOIA''), 5 U.S.C. 552, et seq. (1998).
Dated: May 7, 1999.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
Draft Revised Procedures for Delivery of HEU Natural Uranium
Component in the United States
The United States Enrichment Corporation Privatization Legislation,
42 U.S.C. 2297h, et seq. (``USEC Privatization Act''), directs the
Secretary of Commerce to administer and enforce Russian origin uranium
delivery limitations set forth in 42 U.S.C. 2297h-10(b)(5).
Accordingly, the U.S.
[[Page 25868]]
Department of Commerce (``Department'') is implementing Sec. 2297h-10
of the USEC Privatization Act by issuing these revised HEU Procedures.
The authority to implement the HEU Procedures does not derive from the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Therefore, these revised HEU Procedures
are not subject to the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping
Investigation on Uranium from the Russian Federation (``Russian
Suspension Agreement''), 57 FR 79235 (October 30, 1992), as amended.
A. Coverage
The uranium covered by these revised HEU Procedures is the
U3 0 8 or UF6 component of the low-
enriched uranium derived from the highly enriched uranium (``HEU'')
taken from dismantled nuclear warheads, deemed under United States law
for all purposes to be of Russian origin, and delivered to the Russian
Executive Agent pursuant to the USEC Privatization Act (``HEU Natural
Uranium Component'').
B. Definitions

C. Record Procedures and Commercial Confidentiality
1. Public Record and Access
a. HEU Record: A separate record for documents and information
generated under the HEU Procedures shall be created under the
identifying title ``HEU File'' and maintained in the Central Records
Unit.
b. Central Records Unit: Import Administration's Central Records
Unit is located at B-099, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania
Avenue and 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20230. The office hours of
the Central Records Unit are between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. on
business days.
c. The Central Records Unit is responsible for maintaining a public
and an official record for the HEU File. The public record will consist
of all material contained in the official record that the Secretary
determines is subject to release under the Freedom of Information Act
(``FOIA''), 5 U.S.C. 552, et seq. (1998), and disclosed to the general
public in the Central Records Unit. The Secretary will charge an
appropriate fee for providing copies of documents. The official record
will contain the foregoing information and information for which the
submitter has claimed an exemption to release under FOIA. Such official
record will be accessible only to authorized Commerce Department
employees.
d. FOIA Release and Treatment of Commercial and Financial
Information: Documents submitted to the Department are fully releasable
under FOIA, unless a party claims protection from release under a FOIA
exemption. A party making a submission may not claim its own identity
as protected from release under FOIA. In order to claim protection from
release, a party must specify the appropriate exemption applicable to
the information which the party seeks to protect from release, and
bracket such information. See Sec. 4.7 of the Department's FOIA
regulations, set forth in 15 C.F.R. part 4 (1998). If the information
in the submission is protected from release under an exemption to FOIA,
the party submitting such documentation may provide a releasable public
version along with the non-releasable version. Further information on
FOIA may be accessed at http://www.usdoj.gov/foia.
e. Interim Record: The Department will create the public record of
the HEU File. Within 90 days from publication of the final revised HEU
Procedures, the Department will provide to parties that have already
submitted information to the Department, pursuant to the January 7,
1998 HEU Procedures, the opportunity to claim that documents are exempt
from release under FOIA and to create releasable versions of said
documents. The Department will also transfer any documentation relating
to the HEU Procedures from the record for the Russian Suspension
Agreement (A-821-802) to the HEU File, or will return such
documentation to the submitter, as appropriate.
2. Record Submission Instructions
a. Where to file: For the Department to consider a submission to
the record, persons must address and submit all documents to: The
Secretary of Commerce, Attention: Import Administration, Central
Records Unit, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230. Submissions may be made
between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM on business days. Courtesy copies addressed
to the appropriate employee, and designating
[[Page 25869]]
the employee's mail stop room number, may be delivered to Room 1874
(Courier Delivery Entrance).
b. Required Header Information: Any submission made to the HEU File
must contain the following information in the upper right hand corner
of the document in the order presented below:
HEU File
Number of Pages
Fully Releasable under FOIA, or, Not Fully Releasable under FOIA
Attn: Uranium Program, Room 7866
c. Number of Copies: Each submission to the Department must be
accompanied by three copies of the submission. Where claim of exemption
from release under FOIA is made, the specific portion(s) of the
submission for which exemption is claimed must be clearly identified
when the submission is made. Upon receipt, the Central Records Unit
will stamp the official date of filing on the submission.
D. Allocation of Annual Maximum Deliveries to End-Users
The Department recognizes that MINATOM may allocate the Annual
Maximum Deliveries of HEU Natural Uranium Component among any
Designated Agent(s) which it authorizes to sell the HEU Natural Uranium
Component. For each Designated Agent receiving a delivery allocation,
MINATOM will issue a certificate identifying such Designated Agent, the
duration of time for which the allocation is valid, and the maximum
annual amount to be delivered under that certificate. The
certificate(s) will also contain a statement that the material to be
delivered to the Designated Agent may be sold in the United States in
accordance with 42 U.S. C. 2297h-10. No such certificate shall be valid
and effective until such time as the Department receives a copy of such
certificate. The cumulative quantities authorized by all such
certificates for each year may not exceed the Annual Maximum Deliveries
for such year.
E. Re-allocation
Annual deliveries allocated to a Designated Agent may be re-
allocated to any other Designated Agent or to MINATOM within the same
annual period subject to the Annual Maximum Deliveries, provided that
MINATOM submits to the Department a copy of the amended and/or
terminated certificate(s) from which annual delivery allocation is to
be withdrawn and a copy of the new certificate(s) re-allocating annual
delivery allocation.
F. Delivery Forfeit and Flexibility
On December 31 of each year, any portion of the Annual Maximum
Deliveries not delivered in that year will be forfeited. In the
unlikely event that there are transfer, transportation, or other
difficulties beyond the control of the Designated Agent, the Department
may provide for a 30 day grace period to complete the delivery. The
Department must be notified in writing of a request for a 30 day grace
period, detailing the reasons for the delivery delay.
G. Swaps, Exchanges, Loans, or Resales of Material
1. Swaps, Exchanges or Loans: Swaps, exchanges or loans of HEU
Natural Uranium Component may be conducted solely for the purpose of
facilitating delivery, further processing, and end-use as nuclear fuel.
Notification of such permitted swaps, exchanges, or loans is required
to be provided to the Department at the time of the transactions, in
the format set forth in Attachment One; however, no prior approval by
the Department is required to proceed. Examples of such permitted
swaps, exchanges, or loans are those designed to avoid transportation
costs. The Department considers swaps, exchanges, or loans that will
result in sales for Consumption in the United States, directly or
indirectly, in excess of the Annual Maximum Deliveries to be
circumvention. Swaps, exchanges or loans are subject to verification by
the Department at any time and at its discretion.
2. Resale.
a. The Department will permit End-Users to resell the HEU Natural
Uranium Component. If the HEU Natural Uranium Component is resold, the
End-User (or any other entity) making the resale must notify the
Department of the date of the resale, the entity to whom it was sold,
and the volume resold, in the format provided in Attachment One;
however, no prior approval by the Department is required to proceed.
b. If an End-User resells the HEU Natural Uranium Component to any
party other than another End-User, the material must be held in a
separate account and quarterly reports on the account balance, in the
format provided in Attachment Two, are required from the purchaser of
the resold material. The material must be tracked in a separate
account, and quarterly reports on the account balance must be provided
for all subsequent resales except those to an End-User.
c. An End-User may purchase HEU Natural Uranium Component on re-
sale only from another End-User or an entity utilizing a separate
account and providing quarterly reports to the Department as noted in
Paragraph H.2.b. above.
d. Resales remain subject to the requirements of Sec. 2297h-10 of
the USEC Privatization Act, these HEU Procedures, and are also subject
to verification by the Department at any time and at its discretion.
H. Post-Delivery Notification
For all deliveries of HEU Natural Uranium Component, Designated
Agents must submit to the Department, within ten (10) days of receipt,
copies of all delivery confirmations provided to the Designated Agents
from the appropriate Account Administrator. Such confirmations must
contain the identity of the account holders from and to which the
material was transferred, the quantity transferred, the contract number
pursuant to which such delivery is made, and the date of delivery.
I. Quarterly Reports
1. Designated Agents
Designated Agents must submit for the HEU File quarterly reports
and certifications detailing all activity relating to the movement of
HEU Natural Uranium Component into and out of their respective
accounts, in the format set forth in Attachment Two. These reports must
be submitted on May 1, August 1, November 1, and February 1 of each
year for the quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and
December 31, respectively.
2. Account Administrators
Account Administrators must submit quarterly reports regarding the
accounts holding the HEU Natural Uranium Component, in the format set
forth in Attachment Three. These reports must be submitted on May 1,
August 1, November 1, and February 1 of each year for the quarters
ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, respectively.
J. Verification
The Department reserves the right to verify any information
submitted to the Department relating to deliveries under the USEC
Privatization Act. Furthermore, the Department may restrict future
deliveries from any account in which the reported activity is found to
be in violation of these revised HEU Procedures and/or the Annual
Maximum Deliveries if such violations are not rectified to the
satisfaction of the Department and MINATOM.
[[Page 25870]]
K. Consultations
Upon request, MINATOM and the Department will hold consultations
subsequent to the filing of the quarterly reports due February 1 of
each year for the purpose of exchanging/reviewing all data pertaining
to deliveries of HEU Natural Uranium Component under these revised HEU
Procedures during the previous year. Consultations may be held at other
times as necessary.
L. Re-Importation Requirements 1

certify to the Department that the material will not be swapped,
exchanged, or loaned while in the United States and that it will not
(and has not) circumvented the Annual Maximum Delivery Limitations. The
owner must also provide the Department with the expected quantity
(U308 equivalent, less any processing losses)
that will be exported from the United States. There shall be no time or
quantity limitations on the import of HEU Natural Uranium Component
under this provision.
4. In all cases noted above, the owner of the HEU Natural Uranium
Component or its agent must provide the Department with the required
information ten (10) days prior to its expected entry into the United
States. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the required information,
the Department shall provide the United States Customs Service with the
appropriate instructions to clear this shipment. The Department will
notify the importer of record of the issuance of such instructions.
M. Enforcement
If the Department finds that a Designated Agent has directly or
indirectly exceeded its delivery allocation, the Department will
require the Account Administrator or the appropriate entity to withhold
any further release of HEU Natural Uranium Component from the
Designated Agent's Account, until the issue has been satisfactorily
resolved among the Department, MINATOM, and the relevant Designated
Agent. The Department will notify both the Account Administrator and
the affected Designated Agent in writing of its enforcement action.
