The Department did not receive a
substantive response to the Sunset
Initiation from the Ministry of the
Russian Federation for Atomic Energy
(‘‘MINATOM’’), the original Russian
government signatory to the Suspension
Agreement, its successor agency, the
Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency
(‘‘Rosatom’’), or any Russian exporter of
subject merchandise. On September 9,
2005, USEC and AHUG submitted
rebuttal comments regarding the August
30, 2005 substantive responses.
On November 10, 2005, the
Department determined that the sunset
review of the Suspension Agreement
was extraordinarily complicated and
required additional time for the
Department to complete its analysis.
Therefore, the Department extended the
deadlines in this proceeding, stating
that it intended to issue either the
preliminary results of the full sunset
review on January 17, 2006, and the
final results on May 30, 2006, or the
final results of the expedited review on
January 27, 2006. See Extension of Time
Limit for Sunset Review of the
Agreement Suspending the
Antidumping Investigation on Uranium
from the Russian Federation, 70 FR
68397 (November 10, 2005) (Review
Extension).
On January 13, 2006, AHUG
submitted a letter to the Department
with respect to recent court actions
which occurred in the case of Eurodif v.
United States (U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit (‘‘CAFC’’) Case Nos.
01–1209, -1210). In its letter, AHUG
states that the Department should
remove SWU transactions from the
scope of this Russian sunset review and
the underlying restrictions imposed on
uranium from Russia to be consistent
with the CAFC’s legal holdings in
Eurodif v. United States and the
direction of the U.S. Court of
International Trade (CIT) on remand to
the Department.
On January 17, 2006, the Department
determined that it would conduct a full
sunset review in this case. See

Review of Uranium from the Russian
Federation: Adequacy of Domestic and

determined on January 17, 2006, that it
needed an additional 30 days to

full sunset review. See Extension of
