Based on affirmative final
determinations by the U.S. Department
of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC),
Commerce is issuing an antidumping
duty order on sodium nitrite from the
Russian Federation.
DATES: Applicable November 3, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
On September 12, 2022, Commerce
published in the Federal Register its
affirmative final determination in the
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation
of sodium nitrite from the Russian
Federation (Russia).1 Pursuant to
section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), on October 27,
2022, the ITC notified Commerce of its
affirmative final determination that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured, within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by
reason of imports of sodium nitrite from
Russia that are sold in the United States
at LTFV.2
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is
sodium nitrite from Russia. For a
complete description of the scope of this
order, see the appendix to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Order
Based on the above-referenced
affirmative final determinations, in
accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and
736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this
antidumping duty order. Moreover,
because the ITC determined that U.S.
imports of sodium nitrite from Russia
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Russia, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, as described below, are
subject to the assessment of
antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price or constructed
export price of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of sodium nitrite from
Russia. With the exception of entries
occurring after expiration of the
provisional measures period, but before
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determination, as further
described below, antidumping duties
will be assessed on unliquidated U.S.
entries of sodium nitrite from Russia
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after June 28,
2022, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination in this
investigation in the Federal Register.3
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional
Measures’’ section of this notice below,
in accordance with section 736 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
continue to suspend liquidation of all
relevant entries of sodium nitrite from
Russia. These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
Commerce will also instruct CBP to
require cash deposits equal to the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins listed in the table below,
adjusted by the export subsidy offset.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of the ITC’s affirmative final
injury determination, CBP will require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
subject merchandise, a cash deposit
equal to the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins listed in the table
below, adjusted by the export subsidy
offset. The all-others rate applies to all
producers or exporters not specifically
listed.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request that Commerce extend the fourmonth period to no more than six
months.
Commerce published the Preliminary
Determination in this investigation on
June 28, 2022. Commerce did not extend
the deadline for issuing its final
determination in this investigation,
which it published in the Federal
Register on September 12, 2022.
Therefore, the four-month period
beginning on the date of publication of
the Preliminary Determination ended on
October 25, 2022.
Consequently, in accordance with
section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation, and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated U.S.
entries of sodium nitrite from Russia
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption after October 25, 2022,
the final day on which the provisional
measures were in effect, through the day
preceding the date of publication of the
ITC’s affirmative final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation and the
collection of cash deposits will resume
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
affirmative final injury determination in
the Federal Register.

Establishment of the Annual Inquiry
Service Lists
On September 20, 2021, Commerce
published a notice titled ‘‘Regulations to
Improve Administration and
Enforcement of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Laws’’ in the
Federal Register.5 On September 27,
2021, Commerce published a notice
titled ‘‘Scope Ruling Application;
Annual Inquiry Service List; and
Informational Sessions’’ in the Federal
Register.6 The Final Rule and
Procedural Guidance provide that
Commerce will maintain an annual
inquiry service list for each order or
suspended investigation, and any
interested party submitting a scope
ruling application or request for
circumvention inquiry shall serve a
copy of the application or request on the
persons on the annual inquiry service
list for that order, as well as any
companion order covering the same
merchandise from the same country of
origin.7
In accordance with the Procedural
Guidance, for orders published in the
Federal Register after November 4,
2021, Commerce will create an annual
inquiry service list segment in
Commerce’s online e-filing and
document management system,
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Electronic Service System (ACCESS),
available at https://access.trade.gov,
within five business days of publication
of the notice of the order. Each annual
inquiry service list will be saved in
ACCESS, under each case number, and
under a specific segment type called
‘‘AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.’’ 8
Interested parties who wish to be
added to the annual inquiry service list
for an order must submit an entry of
appearance in the annual inquiry
service list segment in ACCESS for the
order within 30 days after the date of
publication of the order in the Federal
Register. For ease of administration,

Commerce requests that law firms with
more than one attorney representing
interested parties in an order designate
a lead attorney to be included on the
annual inquiry service list. Commerce
will finalize the annual inquiry service
list within five business days thereafter.
As mentioned in the Procedural
Guidance, the new annual inquiry
service list will be in place until the
following year, when the Opportunity
Notice for the anniversary month of the
order is published in the Federal
Register.
Commerce may update an annual
inquiry service list at any time, as
needed, based on interested parties’
amendments to their entries of
appearance to remove, or otherwise
modify, their list of members and
representatives, or to update contact
information. Any changes or
announcements pertaining to these
procedures will be posted to the
ACCESS website at https://

Special Instructions for Petitioners and
Foreign Governments
In the Final Rule, Commerce stated
that, ‘‘after an initial request and
placement on the annual inquiry service
list, both petitioners and foreign
governments will automatically be
placed on the annual inquiry service list
in the years that follow.’’ 9 Accordingly,
as stated above, the petitioners and
foreign governments should submit
their initial entry of appearance after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register in order to appear in the first
annual inquiry service list for those
orders for which they qualify as an
interested party. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.225(n)(3), the petitioners and
foreign governments will not need to
resubmit their entries of appearance
each year to continue to be included on
the annual inquiry service list.
However, the petitioners and foreign
governments are responsible for making
amendments to their entries of
appearance during the annual update to
the annual inquiry service list in
accordance with the procedures
described above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 12, 2022, Commerce published in the Federal Register
its affirmative final determination in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation of sodium nitrite from the Russian Federation
(Russia).\1\ Pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), on October 27, 2022, the ITC notified Commerce of
its affirmative final determination that an industry in the United
States is materially injured, within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of imports of sodium nitrite from
Russia that are sold in the United States at LTFV.\2\

\2\ See ITC's Letter, Investigation No. 731-TA-1586 (Final),
dated October 27, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is sodium nitrite from Russia.
For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the appendix
to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Order
Based on the above-referenced affirmative final determinations, in
accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is
issuing this antidumping duty order. Moreover, because the ITC
determined that U.S. imports of sodium nitrite from Russia are
materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Russia, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, as described below, are subject to the assessment of
antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price or constructed export price of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of sodium nitrite from Russia. With the exception of
entries occurring after expiration of the provisional measures period,
but before publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determination, as further described below, antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated U.S. entries of sodium nitrite from Russia
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June
28, 2022, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in
this investigation in the Federal Register.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Sodium Nitrite from the Russian Federation: Preliminary
Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 87 FR
38377 (June 28, 2022) (Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures'' section of this
notice below, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all relevant entries
of sodium nitrite from Russia. These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins listed in the table
below, adjusted by the export subsidy offset. Accordingly, effective on
the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the
ITC's affirmative final injury determination, CBP will require, at the
same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on
subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-
average dumping margins listed in the table below, adjusted by the
export subsidy offset. The all-others rate applies to all producers or
exporters not specifically listed.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months.
Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in this
investigation on June 28, 2022. Commerce did not extend the deadline
for issuing its final determination in this investigation, which it
published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2022. Therefore, the
four-month period beginning on the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination ended on October 25, 2022.
Consequently, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act,
Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation,
and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated
U.S. entries of sodium nitrite from Russia entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption after October 25, 2022, the final day on
which the provisional measures were in effect, through the day
preceding the date of publication of the ITC's affirmative final injury
determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and
the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication
of the ITC's affirmative final injury determination in the Federal
Register.
Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins
The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ In the final determination in the companion countervailing
duty (CVD) investigation, Commerce applied the adverse facts
available rate of 45.36 percent to each of the following export
subsidy programs: (1) Preferential Lending by Sberbank to
Restructure $3.99 Billion in Uralchem Debt; (2) State Financing for
Industrial Export Projects; (3) Russian Export Center (REC) Lending;
and (4) State Specialized Russian Export-Import Bank (Eximbank)
Financing. We subtracted 181.44 percent, the sum of the export
subsidy rates, from the estimated weighted-average dumping margin of
207.17 percent to derive the 25.73 percent cash deposit rate. See

27, 2021, Commerce published a notice titled ``Scope Ruling
Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; and Informational Sessions''
in the Federal Register.\6\ The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance
provide that Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for
each order or suspended investigation, and any interested party
submitting a scope ruling application or request for circumvention
inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request on the persons
on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as well as any
companion order covering the same merchandise from the same country of
origin.\7\

and Informational Sessions, 86 FR 53205 (September 27, 2021)
(Procedural Guidance).
\7\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in
the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an
annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce's online e-filing and
document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the
notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in
ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type
called ``AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.'' \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ This segment will be combined with the ACCESS Segment
Specific Information (SSI) field which will display the month in
which the notice of the order or suspended investigation was
published in the Federal Register, also known as the anniversary
month. For example, for an order under case number A-000-000 that
was published in the Federal Register in January, the relevant
segment and SSI combination will appear in ACCESS as ``AISL-January
Anniversary.'' Note that there will be only one annual inquiry
service list segment per case number, and the anniversary month will
be pre-populated in ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry
service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance in the
annual inquiry service list segment in ACCESS for the order within 30
days after the date of publication of the order in the Federal
Register. For ease of administration, Commerce requests that law firms
with more than one attorney representing interested parties in an order
designate a lead attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service
list. Commerce will finalize the annual inquiry service list within
five business days thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance,
the new annual inquiry service list will be in place until the
following year, when the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month
of the order is published in the Federal Register.
Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time, as
needed, based on interested parties' amendments to their entries of
appearance to remove, or otherwise modify, their list of members and
representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or
announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the
ACCESS website at https://access.trade.gov.
Special Instructions for Petitioners and Foreign Governments
In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, ``after an initial request
and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and
foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry
service list in the years that follow.'' \9\ Accordingly, as stated
above, the petitioners and foreign governments should submit their
initial entry of appearance after publication of this notice in the
Federal Register in order to appear in the first annual inquiry service
list for those orders for which they qualify as an interested party.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioners and foreign
governments will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each
year to continue to be included on the annual inquiry service list.
However, the petitioners and foreign governments are responsible for
making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual
update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the
procedures described above.
