(the Department) has received requests
to conduct administrative reviews of
various antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings with February

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b)(2004), for administrative
reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings
with February anniversary dates. With
respect to the antidumping duty orders
on Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from
Brazil, Ecuador, India, Thailand, the
People’s Republic of China and the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the
initiation of the antidumping duty
administrative review for these cases
will be published in a separate initiation
notice. The Department also received
timely requests in accordance with 19
PO 00000

17077
CFR 351.213 (c) from Eurodif S.A.
(Eurodif), the sole producer/exporter for
which a review was requested, to defer
for one year the initiation of the
February 1, 2005 through January
31,2006 administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on Low
Enriched Uranium from France (A–427–
818) and the January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2005 administrative
review of the countervailing duty order
on Low Enriched Uranium from France
(C–427–819). In its requests, Eurodif
stated that once the remands, pursuant
to the Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit decision that SWU contracts
constitute the sale of services not goods
(Eurodif S.A. v. United States, 423 F.3d
1275 (Fed. Cir. 2005)), are finalized,
there will be no need to conduct these
reviews. The petitioner, USEC and
United States Enrichment Corporation
(collectively, ‘‘USEC’’), filed a timely
response to Eurodif’s deferral requests
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213
(c)(1)(ii) and 351.213 (c)(2). USEC stated
that, although it disagreed with the
reasoning for the deferrals set forth by
Eurodif, it did not object to the deferrals
on the grounds that such deferrals
would give the parties, including the
Department, more time to focus on the
appeals. No other party filed comments
or objections pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213 (c)(1)(ii). Although the
Department disagrees with the
reasoning set forth in Eurodif’s requests
for deferral, we find that these deferrals
will conserve resources and permit all
of the parties to focus on the litigation
issues. Accordingly, we have decided to
defer the initiation of these
administrative reviews for one year in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213 (c)(3).
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders and findings. We intend to issue
the final results of these reviews not
later than February 28, 2007. Also, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(c), we
are deferring for one year the initiation
of the February 1, 2005 through January
31, 2006 administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on Low
Enriched Uranium from France (A–427–
818) and the January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2005 administrative
review of the countervailing duty order
on Low Enriched Uranium from France
(C–427–819) with respect to one
producer/exporter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 31 and April 1, 2005,
respectively, the ITC instituted, and the
Department initiated, a sunset review of
the Agreement Suspending the
Antidumping Duty Investigation of
Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium
Nitrate from the Russian Federation
(‘‘Suspension Agreement’’), pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘the Act’’). See ITC
Investigation Nos. 731–TA–856
(Review), Ammonium Nitrate from
Russia, 70 FR 16517 (March 31, 2005)
and Initiation of Five–Year (Sunset)
Reviews, 70 FR 16800 (April 1, 2005).
As a result of its review, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752 of the Act, the
Department determined that termination
of the suspended antidumping duty
investigation on ammonium nitrate from
Russia would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and notified the ITC of the magnitude of
the margin likely to prevail should the
Suspension Agreement be terminated.
See Final Results of Five–Year Sunset
Review of Suspended Antidumping
Duty Investigation on Ammonium
Nitrate from the Russian Federation, 71
FR 11177 (March 6, 2006).
On March 30, 2006, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, the ITC
determined that termination of the
suspended investigation on ammonium
nitrate from Russia would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time. See Ammonium
Nitrate from Russia, 71 FR 16177
(March 30, 2006) and USITC Publication
3844 (March 2006), titled Ammonium
Nitrate From Russia (Investigation No.
731–TA–856 (Review)). Therefore,
pursuant to Section 351.218(f)(4) of the
Department’s regulations, the
Department is publishing this notice of
the continuation of the suspended
investigation on ammonium nitrate from
Russia.
Scope
The products covered by the sunset
review of the suspended antidumping
duty investigation on ammonium nitrate
from Russia include solid, fertilizer

grade ammonium nitrate products,
whether prilled, granular or in other
solid form, with or without additives or
coating, and with a bulk density equal
to or greater than 53 pounds per cubic
foot. Specifically excluded from this
scope is solid ammonium nitrate with a
bulk density less than 53 pounds per
cubic foot (commonly referred to as
industrial or explosive grade
ammonium nitrate). The merchandise
subject to this review is classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) at subheading
3102.30.00.00. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
within the scope of this sunset review
is dispositive.
Determination
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
termination of the suspended
investigation would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
Suspension Agreement. The effective
date of continuation of this suspended
investigation will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this Notice of Continuation. Pursuant to
sections 751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6) of the
Act, the Department intends to initiate
the next five–year sunset review of this
Suspension Agreement not later than
March 2011.
This five–year (sunset) review and
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(b)(2004), for administrative reviews of various antidumping
and countervailing duty orders and findings with February anniversary
dates. With respect to the antidumping duty orders on Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp from Brazil, Ecuador, India, Thailand, the People's Republic of
China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the initiation of the
antidumping duty administrative review for these cases will be
published in a separate initiation notice. The Department also received
timely requests in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213 (c) from Eurodif S.A.
(Eurodif), the sole producer/exporter for which a review was requested,
to defer for one year the initiation of the February 1, 2005 through
January 31,2006 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
Low Enriched Uranium from France (A-427-818) and the January 1, 2005
through December 31, 2005 administrative review of the countervailing
duty order on Low Enriched Uranium from France (C-427-819). In its
requests, Eurodif stated that once the remands, pursuant to the Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision that SWU contracts
constitute the sale of services not goods (Eurodif S.A. v. United
States, 423 F.3d 1275 (Fed. Cir. 2005)), are finalized, there will be
no need to conduct these reviews. The petitioner, USEC and United
States Enrichment Corporation (collectively, ``USEC''), filed a timely
response to Eurodif's deferral requests in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213 (c)(1)(ii) and 351.213 (c)(2). USEC stated that, although it
disagreed with the reasoning for the deferrals set forth by Eurodif, it
did not object to the deferrals on the grounds that such deferrals
would give the parties, including the Department, more time to focus on
the appeals. No other party filed comments or objections pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213 (c)(1)(ii). Although the Department disagrees with the
reasoning set forth in Eurodif's requests for deferral, we find that
these deferrals will conserve resources and permit all of the parties
to focus on the litigation issues. Accordingly, we have decided to
defer the initiation of these administrative reviews for one year in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213 (c)(3).
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings. We intend to issue the final results of these
reviews not later than February 28, 2007. Also, in accordance with 19
