Summary of Collection: The Business
and Industry (B&I) program was
legislated in 1972 under Section 310B of
the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended (the Act).
The purpose of the B&I program, as
authorized by the Act, is to improve
economic and environmental climate in
rural communities, including pollution
abatement and control. This purpose is
achieved through bolstering the existing
private credit structure through the
guaranteeing of quality loans, which
will provide lasting community
benefits. The B&I program is
administered by the Rural Business
Service (RBS) through Rural
Development State and sub-State offices
serving each State. RBS will collect
information using various forms from
the lender and the borrower. This
information is vital for making prudent
financial decisions.
Need and Use of the Information: RBS
will collect information to monitor the
guaranteed loan portfolio to ensure that
the lenders are adequately servicing the
loans. RBS through its respective
Business Programs Divisions in
Washington, DC and its 47 State Offices
throughout the United States will be the
primary users of the information
collected. If the information is not
collected, RBS would not be able to
make prudent credit decisions nor
would the Agency be able to effectively
monitor the lender’s servicing activities
and thus minimize losses under the
program.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal
Government.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with
Background
On April 10, 2012, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published
in the Federal Register a notice of
‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review’’ of the antidumping duty order
on solid fertilizer grade ammonium
nitrate (ammonium nitrate) from the
Russian Federation (Russia) for the
period of review (POR) of May 2, 2011,
through March 31, 2012.1 The
Department received timely-filed
requests from JSC Acron (Acron) and
MCC EuroChem (EuroChem) (the
respondents) in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for an administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on
ammonium nitrate from Russia. On May
29, 2012, the Department published a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on ammonium nitrate from Russia for
Acron and EuroChem.2 On the same
date, we: (1) Issued the antidumping
questionnaire to these companies; and
(2) requested information from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on
imports of subject merchandise from
these respondents during the POR, in
accordance with our practice. In June
2012, we received the requested CBP
information, which showed that neither
Acron nor EuroChem had entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.
On June 5, 2012, we placed a
memorandum on the administrative
record of this case stating that our
review of the CBP database showed no
POR entries of subject merchandise by
the respondents.3 We released the
results of our CBP data query to the
respondents and CF Industries, Inc. and
El Dorado Chemical Company
(collectively, the petitioners). We
received no comments on the CBP data.
On June 20, 2012, Acron submitted its
response to section A of the
Department’s antidumping
questionnaire, which indicated that
1 See Ammonium Nitrate from Russia: Correction
to Notice of Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 77 FR 21527 (Apr. 10, 2012).
2 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Requests for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 31586, 31570
(May 29, 2012).
3 See the June 5, 2012, memorandum from
Elizabeth Eastwood, Senior Analyst, to the file,
entitled, ‘‘2011–2012 Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review: Solid Fertilizer Grade
Ammonium Nitrate (Ammonium Nitrate) from the
Russian Federation (Russia): Data Query Request.’’
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Acron had a shipment of subject
merchandise to the United States in
March 2012; however, the entry
documentation submitted with this
response showed that the entry
associated with this shipment was not
made until after the end of the POR. See
Acron’s June 20, 2012, response at
Exhibits 1 and 19.
On June 22, 2012, EuroChem
submitted a partial response to section
A of the Department’s antidumping duty
questionnaire, which stated that
EuroChem also had a shipment of
subject merchandise to the United
States in March 2012. Unlike Acron,
however, EuroChem provided a CBP
7501 form indicating that the entry
associated with this shipment occurred
on March 26, 2012. See EuroChem’s
June 22, 2012, submission at Exhibit 2.
Because this information was not
consistent with the underlying CBP
data, on June 25, 2012, we queried the
CBP database as to the status of the
particular entry in question. According
to the CBP database, although
EuroChem submitted its entry
documentation on March 26, 2012, the
entry was not accepted by CBP as
entered until after the end of the POR.
Because neither respondent had an
entry of subject merchandise into the
United States during the POR, on June
28, 2012, the Department placed a
memorandum on the record notifying
interested parties of its intent to rescind
this administrative review.4 We invited
parties to comment on our Intent to
Rescind Memo. On July 9, 2012, we
received comments from the
respondents, and on July 16, 2012, we
received rebuttal comments from the
petitioners.
On August 24, 2012, we placed a
memorandum on the record regarding
EuroChem’s entry date, to which
EuroChem responded on September 4,
2012.
Rescission of Review
It is the Department’s practice to
rescind an administrative review
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) when
there are no reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
subject to the antidumping duty order
and for which liquidation is
suspended.5 At the end of the
4 See the June 28, 2012, memorandum from Holly
Phelps, Analyst, to James Maeder, Director, Office
2, entitled, ‘‘Intent to Rescind Administrative
Review: 2011–2012 Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review of Solid Fertilizer Grade
Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian Federation’’
(Intent to Rescind Memo).

administrative review, the suspended
entries are liquidated at the assessment
rate computed for the review period.
See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(l). Therefore, for
an administrative review to be
conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry to be liquidated at the
newly calculated assessment rate. As
discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum (Decision Memo)
accompanying this notice, we find that
neither respondent made entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.
Therefore, we are rescinding this review
of the antidumping duty order on
ammonium nitrate from Russia pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

administrative review in their

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 10, 2012, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request

fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate (ammonium nitrate) from the Russian

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 20, 2012, Acron submitted its response to section A of the
Department's antidumping questionnaire, which indicated that Acron had
a shipment of subject merchandise to the United States in March 2012;
however, the entry documentation submitted with this response showed
that the entry associated with this shipment was not made until after
the end of the POR. See Acron's June 20, 2012, response at Exhibits 1
and 19.
On June 22, 2012, EuroChem submitted a partial response to section
A of the Department's antidumping duty questionnaire, which stated that
EuroChem also had a shipment of subject merchandise to the United
States in March 2012. Unlike Acron, however, EuroChem provided a CBP
7501 form indicating that the entry associated with this shipment
occurred on March 26, 2012. See EuroChem's June 22, 2012, submission at
Exhibit 2. Because this information was not consistent with the
underlying CBP data, on June 25, 2012, we queried the CBP database as
to the status of the particular entry in question. According to the CBP
database, although EuroChem submitted its entry documentation on March
26, 2012, the entry was not accepted by CBP as entered until after the
end of the POR.
Because neither respondent had an entry of subject merchandise into
the United States during the POR, on June 28, 2012, the Department
placed a memorandum on the record notifying interested parties of its
intent to rescind this administrative review.\4\ We invited parties to
comment on our Intent to Rescind Memo. On July 9, 2012, we received
comments from the respondents, and on July 16, 2012, we received
rebuttal comments from the petitioners.

Rescind Administrative Review: 2011-2012 Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review of Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate
from the Russian Federation'' (Intent to Rescind Memo).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 24, 2012, we placed a memorandum on the record regarding
EuroChem's entry date, to which EuroChem responded on September 4,
2012.
Rescission of Review
It is the Department's practice to rescind an administrative review
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) when there are no reviewable entries
of subject merchandise during the POR subject to the antidumping duty
order and for which liquidation is suspended.\5\ At the end of the
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the
assessment rate computed for the review period. See 19 CFR
351.212(b)(l). Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted,
there must be a reviewable, suspended entry to be liquidated at the
newly calculated assessment rate. As discussed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum (Decision Memo) accompanying this notice, we find
that neither respondent made entries of subject merchandise during the
POR. Therefore, we are rescinding this review of the antidumping duty
order on ammonium nitrate from Russia pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
