SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on solid urea from 
the Russian Federation (Russia). The period of review (POR) is July 1, 
2013, through June 30, 2014. The review covers one producer/exporter of 
the subject merchandise, MCC EuroChem (EuroChem). We preliminarily find 
that EuroChem has not sold subject merchandise at less than normal 
value during the POR. Interested parties are invited to comment on 
these preliminary results.

DATES: Effective Date: April 9, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is solid urea. The product is 
currently classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the 
United States (HTSUS) item number 3102.10.00.00. While the HTSUS 
subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description is dispositive. A full description of the scope of 
the order is contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\1\

Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance, ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Solid Urea from the Russian 
Federation'' dated concurrently with this notice (Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Constructed 
export price is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. 
Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. 
For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, 
see Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the public via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).\2\ ACCESS is available 
to registered users at https://access.trade.gov, and is available to 
all parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main 
Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the 
Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. A list of the 
topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as 
an Appendix to this notice.

    \2\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the 
name of Enforcement and Compliance's AD and CVD Centralized 
Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS'') to AD and CVD Centralized 
Electronic Service System (``ACCESS''). The Web site location was 
changed from http://iaaccess.trade.gov to http://access.trade.gov. 
The Final Rule changing the references to the Regulations can be 
found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that a 
weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for EuroChem for 
the period July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014.

Disclosure and Public Comment

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this 
proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 
interested parties may submit cases briefs not later than 30 days after 
the date of publication of this notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to

    \3\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
    \4\ Id., and 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, or to participate if one is requested, must submit a 
written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS. An electronically filed 
document must be received successfully in its entirety by the 
Department's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time 
within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.\5\ 
Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address and telephone

    \5\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department intends to issue the final results of this 
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the 
issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the 
date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall 
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If EuroChem's weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis in the final results of this 
review, we will calculate an importer-specific assessment rate on the 
basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated 
for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of such 
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If EuroChem's weighted-
average dumping margin continues to be zero or de minimis in the final 
results of review, we will instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of 
its entries in accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews, 
i.e., ``{w{time} here the weighted-average margin of dumping for the 
exporter is determined to be zero or de minimis, no antidumping duties 
will be assessed.'' \6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14, 
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003.\7\ This clarification will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by EuroChem for which it did not 
know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such 
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 
all-others rate of 64.93 percent \8\ if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping 
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment Policy Notice).

Soviet Socialist Republics; Final Determination of Sales at Less

    We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of solid urea from Russia entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for 
EuroChem will be the rate established in the final results of this 
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or 
exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of 
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a 
prior review, or the original investigation but the manufacturer is, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the manufacturer 
of the merchandise for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or 
exporters will continue to be 64.93 percent.\9\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 2, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
