SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    For a complete description of the events that followed the 
Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\2\ The 
Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is available 
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Services System (ACCESS). 
ACCESS is available to registered users at http://acess.trade.gov, and 
it is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit of the main 
Commerce Building, room B8024. In addition, a complete version of the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum is also accessible on the internet at 
http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed Issues and 
Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

    \2\ See ``Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Low-Enriched Uranium From 
France: 2013-2014'' from Gary Taverman, Associate Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations to Paul 
Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance (Issues 
and Decision Memorandum), dated concurrently with these results and 
herby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period of Review

    The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2013, through January 31, 
2014.

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by the order is all low-enriched uranium. Low-
enriched uranium is enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6) with 
a U\235\ product assay of less than 20 percent that has not been 
converted into another chemical form, such as UO2, or 
fabricated into nuclear fuel assemblies, regardless of the means by 
which the LEU is produced (including low-enriched uranium produced 
through the down-blending of highly enriched uranium).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For a full description of the scope of the order, see the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised by the parties in the case and rebuttal briefs 
are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the 
issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is appended to 
this notice.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    In the Preliminary Results the Department determined that AREVA did 
have shipments of merchandise subject to the antidumping order on LEU 
from France during the POR. Upon review of the comments received from 
parties, the Department finds that AREVA had no shipments subject to 
the antidumping duty order. We have also determined to allow revised 
the re-export certifications required under the scope of the order to 
allow replenishment of LEU that has been re-exported and to address the 
issue of samples in future entries.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Issue 2: Re-export Certifications section of the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Determination of No Shipments

    We determine that AREVA had no shipments of merchandise subject to 
the antidumping duty order on LEU from France during the POR.

Determination of Revised Certifications

    The Department will issue customs instructions with revised 
certifications to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). These 
instructions will be posted on CBP's Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Online Search System, available at http://adcvd.cbp.dhs.gov/adcvdweb/, and the Department will release the customs instructions 
with revised certifications via ACCESS. The revised certifications are 
effective when posted on the CBP's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Online Search System.

Assessment Rates

    Since the Department found that AREVA had no shipments subject to 
the order during the POR, we did not calculate importer-specific 
assessment rates for these final results.
    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in the final 
results of review for which these companies did not know that the 
merchandise was destined for the United States. In such instances, we 
will instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the all-others 
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in 
the transaction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of LEU from France entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of 
this administrative review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for AREVA will remain unchanged from 
the

[[Page 55090]]

rate assigned to the company in the most recently completed review of 
that company, except for entries for which the importer claims to be 
excluded from the order under the re-export provision of the scope, 
which will require a cash deposit rate of zero percent; (2) for 
previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published for the most recent period with a completed segment of this 
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a 
prior review, or the less-than-fair-value investigation, but the 
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for 
the most recent period with a completed segment of this proceeding for 
the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for 
all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 19.95 percent, 
the all-others rate established in the investigation.\6\ Entries 
accompanied by certifications from the exporter, the importer, and the 
end user, indicating that the LEU will be re-exported within 18 months 
will be subject to a cash deposit requirement of zero percent ad 
valorem. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice is the only reminder to parties subject to the 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of

destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective 
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
