On April 25, 1996, Congress passed the United States Enrichment Corporation Privatization Act (The USEC Privatization Act), 42 U.S.C. 2297h et seq. The USEC Privatization Act required the U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department) to administer and enforce the limitations set forth in Section 42 U.S.C. 2297h-10(b)(5) of the USEC Privatization Act. On January 7, 1998, the Department

On July 23, 1998, the Department issued a letter attaching Annex II for comment by the public. Annex II provides draft re-importation documentary requirements issued pursuant to Section D of the HEU Procedures.
