on which such an analysis could be
based.
Accordingly, because the data
available do not provide an appropriate
basis for making a LOT adjustment, but
the LOT in the home market is at a more
advanced stage of distribution than the
LOT of the CEP transactions, we
preliminarily determine that a CEP
offset adjustment is appropriate, in
accordance with section 773(a)(7)(B) of
the Act.
all appropriate entries. Pursuant to
section 351.212(b) of the Department’s
regulations, the Department calculates
an assessment rate for each importer of
the subject merchandise for each
respondent. The Department will issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP within 15 days of
publication of the final results of
review.
Currency Conversion
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon completion of the
final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of the final
results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act:
(1) The cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will be the
company–specific rate established for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the LTFV
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm
covered in this review, any previous
reviews, or the LTFV investigation, the
cash deposit rate will be 124.94 percent,
the ‘‘all others’’ rate established in the
LTFV investigation. See Antidumping
Duty Order and Amended Final
Determination: Certain Small Diameter
Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel
Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe from
Brazil, 60 FR 39707 (August 3, 1995).
These deposit rates, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until publication
of the final results of the next
administrative review.
We made currency conversions into
U.S. dollars, in accordance with section
773A(a) of the Act, based on the
exchange rates in effect on the dates of
the U.S. sales, as certified by the Federal
Reserve Bank.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of our review, we
preliminarily determine the weighted–
average dumping margin for the period
August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004,
to be as follows:
Manufacturer / Exporter
Margin (percent)

The Department will disclose
calculations performed in connection
with these preliminary results of review
within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Interested
parties may submit case briefs and/or
written comments no later than 30 days
after the date of publication of these
preliminary results of review. Rebuttal
briefs and rebuttals to written
comments, limited to issues raised in
the case briefs and comments, may be
filed no later than 35 days after the date
of publication of this notice. Parties who
submit argument in these proceedings
are requested to submit with the
argument: (1) a statement of the issue,
(2) a brief summary of the argument,
and (3) a table of authorities. An
interested party may request a hearing
within 30 days of publication. See
section 351.310(c) of the Department’s
regulations. Any hearing, if requested,
will be held 37 days after the date of
publication, or the first business day
thereafter, unless the Department alters
the date. The Department will issue the
final results of these preliminary results,
including the results of our analysis of
the issues raised in any such written
comments or at a hearing, within 120
days of publication of these preliminary
results.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

SUMMARY: On October 1, 2004, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated a sunset review
of the antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) order
on solid urea from the Russian
Federation pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’). See Initiation of Five-year
(Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 58890 (October
1, 2004). On the basis of a notice of
intent to participate and an adequate
substantive response filed on behalf of
the domestic interested parties and
inadequate responses filed on behalf of
respondent interested parties, the
Department conducted an expedited
sunset review. As a result of this review,
the Department finds that revocation of
the AD order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final
Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 1, 2004, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the AD order
on solid urea from the Russian
Federation pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Act. See Initiation of Five-year
(Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 58890 (October
1, 2004). The Department received a
Notice of Intent to Participate from the
following domestic interested parties:

Fertilizer, LP), and Agrium U.S., Inc.

(collectively ‘‘the domestic interested
parties’’) within the deadline specified
in section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the
Department’s Regulations (‘‘Sunset
Regulations’’). The domestic interested
parties claimed interested party status
under sections 771(9)(C) and (D) of the
Act, as domestic manufacturers of urea
or a coalition whose members are
engaged in the production of urea in the
United States. The Department received
a complete substantive response
collectively from the domestic
interested parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department
received inadequate substantive
responses from the respondent parties.1
As a result, pursuant to section
751(c)(5)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
conducted an expedited sunset review
of this order.
Scope of the Order
Merchandise covered by this order is
solid urea, a high–nitrogen content
fertilizer which is produced by reacting
ammonia with carbon dioxide. The
product is currently classifiable under
the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the
United States Annotated (‘‘HTS’’) item
3102.10.00.00. During previous reviews
such merchandise was classified under
item number 480.3000 of the Tariff
Schedules of the United States. The
HTS item number is provided for
convenience and customs purposes. The
written description remains dispositive
as the scope of the product coverage.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Decision Memorandum
accompanying this notice. The issues
discussed in the Decision Memorandum
include the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping and the
margins likely to prevail were the order
revoked. Parties can find a complete
discussion of all issues raised in this
review and the corresponding
recommendations in this public
memorandum which is on file in the
Central Records Unit, room B–099, of
