ON MARCH 5, 2002, THE PRESIDENT SIGNED INTO EFFECT A COMPREHENSIVE
RELIEF PROGRAM ON STEEL IMPORTS, MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF 30 PERCENT
TARIFFS (WITH SOME SMALLER INCREASES) AND A QUOTA ON SLAB PRODUCTS.
THIS NOTICE IS TO ADVISE THE STEEL IMPORTING COMMUNITY THAT THE REMEDY
WILL GO INTO EFFECT ON MARCH 20, 2002 AT 12:00 A.M. EST.
DUE TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS RELIEF PROGRAM, IMPORTERS AND FILERS
WILL NO LONGER BE PERMITTED TO FILE STEEL ENTRIES SUBJECT TO THIS
RELIEF PROGRAM USING THE REMOTE LOCATION FILING (RLF) PROGRAM. THE
MEMORANDUM POSTED ON MARCH 20, 2002 STATED THAT MILL CERTIFICATES WILL
BE PRESENTED WITH EVERY ENTRY SUMMARY. IN ADDITION, ENTRIES CLAIMING
EXCLUSION TO THE RELIEF PROGRAM ARE REQUIRED TO SUBSTANTIATE THE CLAIM
