the Steel Import Monitoring and
Analysis (SIMA) System is vital to facilitate the real-time
monitoring of steel imports in a volatile market. This is a
continuation of the licensing and monitoring system which began as
part of the 201 steel safeguards. Extension of the SIMA system has
been expanded to over all steel mill products. SIMA is operating
under authority as part of the Census Act (13 U.S.C. 301(a) and
302).
US Code:
13 USC 301(a) and 302 Name of Law: Collection And Publication
Of Foreign Commerce And Trade Statistics.
Commerce proposes to make two
changes to the information collected in the Steel Import License
form. First, Commerce will require license applicants to identify
the country where the steel used in the manufacture of the imported
steel product was melted and poured. Second, the licensing
requirement will be expanded to apply to all steel products,
including 8 additional HTS categories in addition to the
approximately 780 HTS categories currently covered by the SIMA
system. These changes are reflected in the responses to questions
12 and 14.
