BIS-2020-0037 BIS Notice of Request for Public Comments by the Titanium Sponge Working Group Nonrulemaking 2021-01-28T16:30:20Z 0b00006484942685   On March 4, 2019, in response to a petition, the Secretary initiated an investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), to determine the effects on the national security from imports of titanium sponge. During the Section 232 investigation, the Department of Commerce requested comments from the public on whether titanium sponge was being imported in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security. On November 29, 2019, the Secretary transmitted to the President a report on the Section 232 investigation in which he found that titanium sponge imports did threaten to impair the national security, and stated that there is a risk of the United States being completely dependent on imports of titanium sponge and could therefore lack surge capacity required to support defense and critical infrastructure needs in an extended national emergency. On February 27, 2020, the President issued a memorandum concurring with the Secretary’s finding that titanium sponge imports threatened to impair U.S. national security, and also agreeing that actions to adjust imports under Section 232, such as tariffs, should not be taken at that time. However, the memorandum directed the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Defense to establish an interagency working group. As established, the working group consists of the following permanent members: the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Interior, and State, which are joined by rotating members from other U.S. Government agencies and counterpart agencies in Japan as deemed appropriate. The work of the Titanium Sponge Working Group has proceeded in exploring measures to ensure access to titanium sponge in the United States for use for national defense and in critical industries during an emergency, and at this time the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is seeking public comments to better inform the deliberations of the working group.     ["AG", "Application procedures", "Country specific", "Encryption", "Enforcement", "Export clearance", "MTCR", "NSG", "Item specific", "License Exceptions", "Use/user", "Wassenaar"]         {"displayProperties": [{"name": "abstract", "label": "Description", "tooltip": "Describes an agency's specific regulatory action; equivalents: Abstract, Docket Subject, General Info, Related To, Summary."}], "keywords": ["AG", "Application procedures", "Country specific", "Encryption", "Enforcement", "Export clearance", "MTCR", "NSG", "Item specific", "License Exceptions", "Use/user", "Wassenaar"], "modifyDate": "2021-01-28T16:30:20Z", "dkAbstract": "On March 4, 2019, in response to a petition, the Secretary initiated an investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), to determine the effects on the national security from imports of titanium sponge.
