PROCLAMATION 7529 OF MARCH 5, 2002
To Facilitate Positive Adjustment to Competition From Imports of Certain Steel
Products
By the President of the United States of AmericaA Proclamation
1. On December 19, 2001, the United States International Trade Commission(ITC) transmitted
to the President a report on its investigation under section 202 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(the "Trade Act") (19 U.S.C. 2252),with respect to imports of certain steel products.
2. The ITC reached affirmative determinations under section 202(b) of the Trade Act that the
following products are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a
substantial cause of serious injury, or threat of serious injury, to the domestic industries producing like
or directly competitive articles: (a) certain carbon flat-rolled steel, including carbon and alloy steel
slabs ("slabs"); plate (including cut-to-length plate and clad plate) ("plate"); hot-rolled steel (includingplate in coils) ("hot-rolled steel"); cold-rolled steel (other than grain-oriented electrical steel)("cold-
rolled steel"); and corrosion-resistant and other coated steel ("coated steel") (collectively, "certain flat
steel"); (b) carbon and alloy hot-rolled bar and light shapes ("hot-rolled bar"); (c) carbon and alloy
cold-finished bar("cold-finished bar"); (d) carbon and alloy rebar ("rebar"); (e) carbon and alloy
welded tubular products (other than oil country tubular goods) ("certain tubular products"); (f) carbonand alloy flanges, fittings, and tool joints("carbon and alloy fittings"); (g) stainless steel bar and light
shapes("stainless steel bar"); and (h) stainless steel rod.  The ITC commissioners were equally divided
with respect to the determination required under section 202(b) regarding whether (i) carbon and alloy
tin mill products ("tin mill products") and (j) stainless steel wire.
3. The ITC provided detailed definitions of the products included in categories (a) through (j) of
paragraph 2, and their corresponding subheadings, under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS) in Appendix A to its determination, set out at 66 Fed. Reg. 67304, 67308-67311
(December 28,2001).  By February 4, 2002, the ITC provided additional information in response to a
request by the United States Trade Representative (USTR) under section 203(a)(5) of the Trade Act
(19 U.S. 2253(a)(5)) (the "supplemental report").
4. Section 330(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1330(d)(1)), provides
that, when the ITC is required to determine under section 202(b) of the Trade Act whether increased
imports of an article are a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, and the
commissioners voting are equally divided with respect to such determination, then the determination
agreed upon by either group of commissioners may be considered by the President as thedetermination of the ITC.  Having considered the determinations of the commissioners with regard to
tin mill products and stainless steel wire, I have decided to consider the determinations of the groups
of commissioners voting in the affirmative with regard to each of these products to be the
determination of the ITC.
5. Pursuant to section 311(a) of the North Am erican Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act
(the "NAFTA Implementation Act") (19 U.S.C. 337 1(a)), the ITC made findings as to whether
imports from Canada and Mexico, considered individually, account for a substantial share of total
imports and contribute importantly to the serious injury, or threat thereof, caused by imports.  The
ITC made negative findings with respect to imports from Canada of certain flat steel, tin millproducts, rebar, stainless steel rod, and stainless steel wire; and the ITC also made negative findings
with respect to imports from Mexico of tin mill products, hot-rolled bar, cold-finished bar, rebar,G/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.1
Page 3
certain tubular products, stainless steel bar, stainless steel rod, and stainless steel wire.  The ITC made
affirmative findings with respect to imports from Canada of hot-rolled bar, cold-finished bar, carbon
and alloy fittings, and stainless steel bar; and the ITC also made affirmative findings with respect to
imports from Mexico of certain flat steel, and carbon and alloy steel fittings.  The ITC commissionerswere equally divided with respect to imports from Canada of certain tubular products.
6. The ITC commissioners voting in the affirmative under section 202(b) of the Trade Act also
transmitted to the President their recommendations made pursuant to section 202(e) of the Trade Act
(19 U.S.C. 2252(e)) with respect to the actions that, in their view, would address the serious injury, or
threat thereof, to the domestic industries and be most effective in facilitating the efforts of those
industries to make a positive adjustment to import competition.
7. Pursuant to section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253), and after taking into account the
considerations specified in section 203(a)(2) of the Trade Act and the ITC supplemental report, I have
determined to implement action of a type described in section 203(a)(3) (a "safeguard measure") with
regard to the following steel products:
(a) certain flat steel, consisting of: slabs provided for in the superior text to subheadings
9903.72.30 through 9903.72.48 in the Annex to this proclamation; plate provided for in the
superior text to subheadings 9903.72.50 through 9903.72.62 in the Annex to this
proclamation; hot-rolled steel provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.72.65through 9903.72.82 in the Annex to this proclamation; cold-rolled steel provided for in the
superior text to subheadings 9903.72.85 through 9903.73.04 in the Annex to this
proclamation;  and coated steel provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.73.07
through 9903.73.23 in the Annex to this proclamation;
(b) hot-rolled bar provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.73.42 through 9903.73.52
in the Annex to this proclamation;
(c) cold-finished bar provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.73.55 through
9903.73.62 in the Annex to this proclamation;
(d) rebar provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.73.65 through 9903.73.71 in the
Annex to this proclamation;
(e) certain tubular products provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.73.74 through
9903.73.86 in the Annex to this proclamation;
(f) carbon and alloy fittings provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.73.88 through
9903.73.95 in the Annex to this proclamation;
(g) stainless steel bar provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.73.97 through
9903.74.06 in the Annex to this proclamation;
(h) stainless steel rod provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.74.08 through
9903.74.16 in the Annex to this proclamation;

9903.73.39 in the Annex to this proclamation; and
(j) stainless steel wire provided for in the superior text to subheadings 9903.74.18 through
9903.74.24 in the Annex to this proclamation.  The steel products listed in clauses (i) throughG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.1
Page 4
(ix) of subdivision (b) of U.S. Note 11 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTS ("Note 11")
in the Annex to this proclamation were excluded from the determinations of the ITC
described in paragraph 2, and are excluded from these safeguard measures. I have also
determined to exclude from these safeguard measures the steel products listed in thesubsequent clauses of subdivision (b) of Note 11 in the Annex to this proclamation.
8. Pursuant to section 312(a) of the NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3372(a)), I have
determined after considering the report and supplemental report of the ITC that imports from each of
Canada and Mexico of certain flat steel, tin mill products, hot-rolled bar, cold-finished bar, rebar,
certain tubular products, carbon and alloy fittings, stainless steel bar, stainless steel rod, and stainless
steel wire, considered individually, do not account for a substantial share of total imports or do notcontribute importantly to the serious injury or threat of serious injury found by the ITC. Accordingly,
pursuant to section 312(b) of the NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3372(b)), I have excluded
certain flat steel, tin mill products, hot-rolled bar, cold-finished bar, rebar, certain tubular products,
carbon and alloy fittings, stainless steel bar, stainless steel rod, and stainless steel wire the product of
Mexico or Canada from the actions I am taking under section 203 of the Trade Act.
9. Pursuant to section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253), the actions I have determined to
take shall be safeguard measures in the form of:(a) a tariff rate quota on imports of slabs described in
paragraph 7, imposed for a period of 3 years plus 1 day, with annual increases in the within-quota
quantities and annual reductions in the rates of duty applicable to goods entered in excess of thosequantities in the second and third years; and(b) an increase in duties on imports of certain flat steel,
other than slabs (including plate, hot-rolled steel,  cold-rolled steel and coated steel),hot-rolled bar,
cold-finished bar, rebar, certain welded tubular products, carbon and alloy fittings, stainless steel bar,
stainless steel rod, tin mill products, and stainless steel wire, as described in paragraph 7, imposed for
a period of 3 years plus 1 day, with annual reductions in the rates of duty in the second and thirdyears, as provided in the Annex to this proclamation.
10. The safeguard measures described in paragraph 9 shall not apply to the products listed in
clauses following clause (ix) in subdivision (b) of Note 11 in the Annex to this proclamation.
11. These safeguard measures shall apply to imports from all countries, except for products of
Canada, Israel, Jordan, and Mexico.
12. These safeguard measures shall not apply to imports of any product described in paragraph 7
of a developing country that is a member of th e World Trade Organization (WTO), as long as that
country's share of total imports of the product, based on imports during a recent representative period,
does not exceed 3 percent, provided that imports that are the product of all such countries with lessthan 3 percent import share collectively account for not more than 9 percent of total imports of the
product.  If I determine that a surge in imports of a product described in paragraph 7 of a developing
country WTO member undermines the effectiveness of the pertinent safeguard measure, the safeguard
measure shall be modified to apply to such product from such country.
13. The in-quota quantity in each year under the tariff rate quota described in paragraph 9 shall be
allocated among all countries except those countries the products of which are excluded from such
tariff rate quota pursuant to paragraphs 11 and 12.
14. Pursuant to section 203(a)(1)(A) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(1)(A)), I have further
determined that these safeguard measures will facilitate efforts by the domestic industry to make a
positive adjustment to import competition and provide greater economic and social benefits than
costs.  If I determine that further action is appropriate  and feasible to facilitate efforts by the pertinent
domestic industry to make a positive adjustment to import competition and to provide greaterG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1

Page 5
economic and social benefits than costs, or if I determine that the conditions under section 204(b)(1)
of the Trade Act are met, I shall reduce, modify, or terminate the action established in this
proclamation accordingly.  In addition, if I determine within 30 days of the date of this proclamation,
as a result of consultations between the United States and other WTO members pursuant to Article12.3 of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards that it is necessary to reduce, modify, or terminate a
safeguard measure, I shall proclaim the corresponding reduction, modification, or termination of the
safeguard measure within 40 days.
15.  Section 604 of the Trade Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to
embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting
import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, orimposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America,
acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States,
including but not limited to sections 203 and 604 of the Trade Act, and section 301 of title 3, UnitedStates Code, do proclaim that:
(1) In order to establish increases in duty and a tariff rate quota on imports of the certain steel
products described in paragraph 7 (other than excluded products), subchapter III of chapter 99 of the
HTS is modified as provided in the Annex to this proclamation. Any merchandise subject to asafeguard measure that is admitted into U.S. foreign trade zones on or after March 20, 2002, must be
admitted as "privileged foreign status" as defined in 19 CFR 146.41, and will be subject upon entry to
any quantitative restrictions or tariffs related to the classification under the applicable HTS
subheading.
(2) Such imports of certain steel that are the product of Canada, Israel, Jordan, or Mexico shall be
excluded from the safeguard measures established by this proclamation, and such imports shall not be
counted toward the tariff rate quota limits that trigger the over-quota rates of duty.
(3) Except as provided in clause (4) below, impor ts of certain steel that are the product of WTO
member developing countries, as provided in subdivision(d)(i) of Note 11 in the Annex to this
proclamation, shall be excluded from the safeguard measures established by this proclamation, andsuch imports shall not be counted toward the tariff rate quota limits that trigger the over-quota rates of
duties.
(4) Clause (3) above shall not apply to imports of a product that is the product of a country listed
in subdivision (d)(i) of Note 11 in the Annex to this proclamation if subdivision(d)(ii) of such Noteindicates that such country's share of total imports of the product exceeds 3 percent, or that imports of
the product from all listed countries with less than 3 percent import share collectively account for
more than 9 percent of total imports of the product.  The USTR is authorized to determine whether a
surge in imports of a product that is the product of a country listed in subdivision (d)(i) undermines
the effectiveness of the pertinent safeguard measure and, if so, upon publication of a notice in theFederal Register, to revise subdivision (d) of Note 11 in the Annex to this proclamation to indicate
that such product from such country is not excluded from such safeguard measure.
(5) Within 120 days after the date of this proc lamation, the USTR is authorized to further
consider any request for exclusion of a particular product submitted in accordance with the proceduresset out in 66 Fed. Reg. 54321,54322-54323 (October 26, 2001) and, upon publication in the Federal
Register of a notice of his finding that a particular product should be excluded, to modify the HTS
provisions created by the Annex to this proclamation to exclude such particular product from the
pertinent safeguard measure established by this proclamation.G/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1

(6) In March of each year in which any safeguard measure established by this proclamation
remains in effect, the USTR is authorized, upon publication in the Federal Register of a notice of his
finding that a particular product should be excluded, to modify the HTS provisions created by theAnnex to this proclamation to exclude such partic ular product from the pertinent safeguard measure
established by this proclamation.
(7) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that is inconsistent with the
actions taken in this proclamation is superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
(8) The modifications to the HTS made by this proclamation, including the Annex hereto, shall
be effective with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after
12:01 a.m., EST, on March 20, 2002, and shall continue in effect as provided in the Annex to this
proclamation, unless such actions are earlier expressly reduced, modified, or terminated. Effective at
the close of March 21, 2006, or such other date that is 1 year from the close of the safeguard measures
established in this proclamation, the U.S. note and tariff provisions established in the Annex to thisproclamation shall be deleted from the HTS.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my ha nd this fifth day of March, in the year of
our Lord two thousand two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred
