Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2013-2014, 80 FR 
19069 (April 9, 2015) (Preliminary Results).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATES: Effective Date: July 7, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Romani or Minoo Hatten, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
0198, and (202) 482-1690, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 9, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary Results. 
The POR is July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. We invited interested 
parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. We received no comments.
    The Department conducted this administrative review in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is solid urea, a high-nitrogen 
content fertilizer which is produced by reacting ammonia with carbon 
dioxide. The product is currently classified under the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTSUS) item number 
3102.10.00.00. Previously, such merchandise was classified under item 
number 480.3000 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States. Although 
the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, 
the written description of the merchandise subject to the order is 
dispositive.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    The Department made no changes to its calculations announced in the 
Preliminary Results.

Final Results of Review

    For the final results of this review, we determine that a weighted-
average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for MCC EuroChem for the 
POR.

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212 and the Final Modification,\2\ 
the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
to liquidate all appropriate entries for MCC EuroChem without regard to 
antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14, 
2012) (Final Modification).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by MCC 
EuroChem for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the 
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at 
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For a full discussion, see Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 
6, 2003).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 38665]]

    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 
MCC EuroChem will be 0.00 percent, the weighted average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for 
previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, 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, the all-others rate established in the 
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation.\4\ The rate 
established in the LTFV investigation for the Soviet Union was applied 
to each new independent state, including Russia. These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Urea From the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 52 FR 19557 (May 26, 
1987). Also note that following the break-up of the Soviet Union, 
the antidumping duty order on solid urea from the Soviet Union was 
transferred to the individual members of the Commonwealth of 
Independent States. See Solid Urea From the Union of Soviet 
Socialist Republics; Transfer of the Antidumping Order on Solid Urea 
From the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to the Commonwealth of 
Independent States and the Baltic States and Opportunity to Comment, 
57 FR 28828 (June 29, 1992).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final 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.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    The Department is issuing and publishing these final results of 
administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
