SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 5, 2016, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the 
antidumping duty order on solid urea from the Russian Federation for 
the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.\1\ On July 29 2016, 
in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the Department received a timely 
request from the petitioners, the Ad Hoc Committee of Domestic Nitrogen 
Producers and its individual members, CF Industries, Inc. and PCS 
Nitrogen Fertilizer L.P., to conduct an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on solid urea from the Russian Federation 
manufactured or exported by MCC EuroChem, or its urea production 
subsidiaries OJSC Nevinnomysskiy Azot and OJSC NAKAzot (MCC EuroChem), 
and Joint Stock Company PhosAgro-Cherepovets.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 81 FR 43584 (July 5, 2016).
    \2\ See Petitioner's letter, ``Solid Urea from the Russian 
Federation; Request for Administrative Review,'' dated July 29, 
2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 12, 2016, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order.\3\ This administrative review covers MCC 
EuroChem and Joint Stock Company PhosAgro-Cherepovets during the period 
July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. On November 21, 2016, the 
petitioners timely withdrew their request for an administrative review 
for both MCC EuroChem and Joint Stock Company PhosAgro-Cherepovets.\4\

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

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, if the party that requested the review withdraws 
its request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of 
initiation of the requested review. The petitioner withdrew its review 
request before the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in 
response to the timely withdrawal of the review request, the Department 
is rescinding in its entirety the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on solid urea from the Russian Federation for 
the review period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit 
of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries 
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing 
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review 
period. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or 
countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 23, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
