BIS Seeks Comments About Procedures for Objections to Steel, Aluminum Tariff Exemptions

The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security seeks comments on its proposed information collection that is part of the procedure for submitting objections to requested exclusions from the Section 232 tariffs on aluminum and steel, Commerce said in a Feb. 7 notice. Last September, BIS produced an interim final rule that made changes to the process for requesting exclusions from Section 232 tariffs and quotas on steel and aluminum products (see 1809060035). BIS is now seeking comments and recommendations on the information collection proposal that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for clearance. Comments are due March 11.
