1. On 05/22/2015, Commerce published in the Federal Register (80 FR 29614) its final results in the changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on low enriched uranium (LEU) from France (A-427-818).

2. In the final results of the changed circumstances review, Commerce extended until 01/31/2018, the deadline for re-exportation of a single shipment of LEU under entry number W96-3576942-0 (this entry number was made public to Commerce in an importer submission to Commerce), that entered the United States under the provisions of an exclusion to the scope of the order.

3. This LEU shipment is excluded from the scope of the antidumping order on LEU from France if it is owned by a foreign utility end-user and imported into the United States solely for the purpose of conversion or fabrication into fuel assemblies (i.e., fuel rods), so long as such fuel assemblies (1) remain in the possession and control of the U.S. fabricator, the foreign end-user, or their designated transporter while in U.S. customs territory, and (2) are exported within 18-months of entry of the LEU, for consumption by the end-user in a nuclear reactor outside the United States. These conditions must be certified by the importer and end-user; provision of the appropriate certification at the time of entry permits customs to exclude the entry from the application of the antidumping order (see message number 2051201, dated 02/20/2002, paragraph 2).

4. This single LEU entry number W96-3576942-0 met the scope exclusion requirements referenced in paragraph 3 above when it entered on 11/01/2010. The importer and the end-user provided certifications for this entry, which then permitted customs to exclude the entry from the application of the antidumping order.

5. The date for re-exportation of this entry of LEU was previously extended until November 1, 2015 (see message number 3331311, dated 11/27/2013).

6. In the final results of the changed circumstances review, Commerce determined that it is appropriate to extend the time for re-exportation, for this entry only, until 01/31/2018. Accordingly, for entry number W96-3576942-0 of LEU from France, entry date 11/01/2010, the deadline for re-exportation is now extended until 01/31/2018.
