What the agency says
This final rule revises aspects of the process for requesting exclusions from the duties and quantitative limitations on imports of aluminum and steel discussed in five previous Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") interim final rules implementing the exclusion process authorized by the President under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended ("Section 232"). The changes in this final rule are also informed by public comments on a proposed rule on the Section 232 exclusions process that was published by BIS on August 28, 2023 (August 2023 Proposed Rule), detailed below. This final rule thus removes 12 General Approved Exclusions (GAEs) that were added in the December 2020 rule and maintained through the December 2021 rule, consisting of six GAEs for steel and six GAEs for aluminum.
