[FR Doc. 2011–10149 Filed 4–26–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510–DR–P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A–821–811] Termination of the Suspension Agreement on Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate From the Russian Federation and Notice of Antidumping Duty Order Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: On March 3, 2011, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) received a letter from the Ministry of Economic Development (‘‘MED’’) of the Russian Federation (‘‘Russia’’) dated February 22, 2011, that had been sent to the United States Embassy in Moscow for transmittal to the Department concerning the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Duty (‘‘AD’’) Investigation on Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian Federation (‘‘the Agreement’’). In that letter, the MED stated that it was withdrawing from the Agreement. In accordance with Section X.C. of the Agreement, termination of the Agreement shall be effective 60 days after notice of termination of the Agreement is given to the Department. Pursuant to section 734(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the underlying investigation was continued following the signature of the Agreement, resulting in an affirmative determination of dumping resulting in material injury to a domestic industry. Therefore, the Department is terminating the Agreement and issuing an AD order, effective May 2, 2011 (60 days from when the Department WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:36 Apr 26, 2011 Jkt 223001 received notice of MED’s request for termination). The Department also will direct suspension of liquidation to begin on that date. DATES: Effective Date: May 2, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith Wey Rudman or Julie Santoboni, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0192 or (202) 482–3063, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 12, 1999, the Department initiated an AD investigation under section 732 of the Act to determine whether imports of solid fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate (‘‘ammonium nitrate’’) from Russia were being, or were likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value. See Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation: Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian Federation, 64 FR 45236 (August 19, 1999). On September 15, 1999, the International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) published its affirmative preliminary injury determination. (See Certain Ammonium Nitrate from Russia, Investigation No. 731–TA–856 (Preliminary), 64 FR 50103 (September 15, 1999)). On January 7, 2000, the Department published its preliminary determination that ammonium nitrate was being, or was likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value. See Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian Federation, 65 FR 1139 (January 7, 2000). The Department suspended the AD investigation on ammonium nitrate from Russia, effective May 19, 2000 (See Suspension of Antidumping Duty Investigation: Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian Federation, 65 FR 37759 (June 16, 2000)). The basis for this action was an agreement between the Department and the Ministry of Trade of the Russian Federation (‘‘MOT’’) (the MOT was the predecessor to the MED) accounting for substantially all imports of ammonium nitrate from Russia, wherein the MOT agreed to restrict exports of ammonium nitrate from all Russian producers/ exporters to the United States and to ensure that such exports were sold at or above the agreed reference price. Thereafter, pursuant to a request by the petitioner, the Committee for Fair Ammonium Nitrate Trade (‘‘COFANT’’), the Department completed its PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 23569 investigation and published its final determination of sales at less than fair value. See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value; Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate From the Russian Federation, 65 FR 42669 (July 11, 2000) (‘‘Final Determination’’). In its Final Determination, the Department calculated weighted-average dumping margins of 253.98 percent for Nevinnomyssky Azot, a respondent company in the investigation, and as the Russia-wide rate. The ITC published its final affirmative injury determination on August 21, 2000 (See Certain Ammonium Nitrate from Russia, Investigation No. 731–TA–856 (Final), 65 FR 50179 (August 21, 2000) (‘‘ITC Final Injury Determination’’)). On March 31 and April 1, 2005, respectively, the ITC instituted, and the Department initiated, a five-year sunset review of the suspended AD investigation on ammonium nitrate from Russia. The Department concluded that termination of the suspended AD investigation would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and the ITC concluded that termination of the suspended investigation 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 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) and Ammonium Nitrate from Russia, Investigation No. 731–TA–856 (Review), 71 FR 16177 (March 30, 2006), respectively. On March 1, 2011, the Department initiated and the ITC instituted a (second) fiveyear sunset review of the ammonium nitrate suspended investigation. See Notice of Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 76 FR 11202 (March 1, 2011) and Ammonium Nitrate from Russia, Investigation No. 731–TA–856 (Second Review), 76 FR 11273 (March 1, 2011). On March 3, 2011, the Department received a letter from MED dated February 22, 2011, that had been sent to the United States Embassy in Moscow for transmittal to the Department concerning the Agreement. In that letter, the MED stated that it was withdrawing from the Agreement, effective 60 days after notice of termination. Scope of the Order The products covered by the order include solid, fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate products, whether prilled, granular or in other solid form, with or without additives or coating, E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM 27APN1
