Expiration Date: September 30, 2020
Section 232 Investigation into Imports of Electrical Steel and Transformer‐Related Products
SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), is conducting a survey of the U.S. grain‐oriented electrical steel (GOES) industry
and related transformer parts sector. Specifically, this survey is intended for companies that import, distribute, or produce laminations for stacked cores for incorporation into transformers,
stacked and wound cores for incorporation into transformers, electrical transformers, and transformer regulators markets. The survey results will be used to support an ongoing investigation on
the effect of imports of GOES and select downstream GOES products on the U.S. national security initiated under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended.
The principal goal of this survey is to assist the U.S. Department of Commerce in determining whether electrical steel and transformer‐related products are being imported into the United
States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security. Information collected will include facilities and production data, capacity utilization, mergers
and acquisitions, joint ventures, customers, sales and demand data, employment information, conditions of domestic and global competition, research and development, and other factors. The
resulting data will provide the U.S. Department of Commerce detailed steel industry information that is otherwise not publicly available and needed to effectively conduct this Section 232
investigation.
RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED BY LAW
A response to this survey is required by law (50 U.S.C. Sec. 4555). Failure to respond can result in a maximum fine of $10,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both. Information furnished
herewith is deemed confidential and will not be published or disclosed except in accordance with Section 705 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. Sec. 4555). Section
705 prohibits the publication or disclosure of this information unless the President determines that its withholding is contrary to the national defense. Information will not be shared with any
non‐government entity, other than in aggregate form. The information will be protected pursuant to the appropriate exemptions from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
should it be the subject of a FOIA request.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
BURDEN ESTIMATE AND REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of
information to BIS Information Collection Officer, Room 6883, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230, and to the Office of Management and
Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (OMB Control No. 0694‐0120), Washington, D.C. 20503.

Also called Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Steel (CRGO),a flat‐rolled alloy steel product which has is specially
processed so that optimal properties are developed in the rolling direction; containing by weight at least 0.6
percent but not more than 6 percent of silicon (typically 3.2%), not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, not more
than 1.0 percent of aluminum, and no other element in an amount that would give the steel the characteristics of

Transformer
An electrical apparatus that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another without any direct
electrical connection by the electromagnetic induction of an alternating electrical current between two or more
magnetically coupled coils or windings. Transformers are used to either increase (step‐up) or decrease (step‐
down) the voltage of an alternating electrical current within the circuitry of electrical equipment or systems. The
magnetic circuit where the voltage is transformed form the core of the transformer, and is often made from grain‐
oriented electrical steel. Transformers are classified according to their power handling capacity and type of
insulation in HTSUS categories 8504.21, 8504.22, 8504.23, 8504.31, 8504.32, 8504.33 and 8504.34. For
purposes of this investigation, dry transformers with a power handling capacity of less than or equal to 1KVA
are excluded from the subject product scope.
Voltage Regulator
A device designed to automatically regulate distribution line voltages within a desired range. These products are
classified within HTSUS 9032.89.4000. (Note: This HTSUS classification includes products other than voltage
regulators not subject to this investigation)
