Sec.  360.102  Online registration.

    (a) In general. (1) Any importer, importing company, customs broker 
or importer's agent with a U.S. street address may register and obtain 
the user identification number necessary to log on to the automatic 
steel import license issuance system. Foreign companies may obtain a 
user identification number if they have a U.S. address through which 
they may be reached; PO boxes will not be accepted. A user 
identification will be issued within two business days. Companies will 
be able to register online through the import licensing and monitoring 
Web site. However, should a company prefer to apply for a user 
identification number

non-electronically, a phone/fax option will be available at Commerce 
during regular business hours.
    (2) This user identification number will be required in order to log 
on to the steel import license issuance system. A single user 
identification number will be issued to an importing company, brokerage 
house or importer's agent. Operating units within the company (e.g., 
individual branches, divisions or employees) will all use the same 
company user identification code. The steel import license issuance 
system will be designed to allow multiple users of a single 
identification number from different locations within the company to 
enter information simultaneously.
    (b) Information required to obtain a user identification number. In 
order to obtain a user identification number, the importer, importing 
company, customs broker or importer's agent will be required to provide 
general information. This information will include: the filer company 
name, employer identification number (EIN) or Customs ID number (where 
no EIN is available), U.S. street address, phone number, contact 
information and email address for both the company headquarters and any 
branch offices that will be applying for steel licenses. This 
information will not be released by Commerce, except as required by U.S. 
law.
