Ammonium Nitrate from Ukraine, 66 FR 47451 (September 12, 2001).

(May 1, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We did not receive a notice of intent to participate from domestic 
interested parties in this sunset review. As a result, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A), Commerce determined that no domestic 
interested party intends to participate in the sunset review, and on 
May 18, 2018, notified the International Trade Commission, in writing, 
that we intended to issue a final determination revoking this 
antidumping duty order.\4\

    \4\ See Letter to Director, Office of Investigations, 
International Trade Commission, ``Sunset Reviews Initiated on May 1, 
2018,'' dated May 18, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Scope of the Order: The products covered by this antidumping duty 
order are solid, fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate (``ammonium 
nitrate'' or ``subject merchandise'') products, whether prilled, 
granular or in other solid form, with or without additives or coating, 
and with a bulk density equal to or greater than 53 pounds per cubic 
foot. Specifically excluded from the scope is solid ammonium nitrate 
with a bulk density less than 53 pounds per cubic foot (commonly 
referred to as industrial or explosive grade ammonium nitrate). The 
subject merchandise is currently classifiable under subheading 
3102.30.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS''). Although HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 
and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is 
dispositive.
    Determination To Revoke: Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic interested party files a 
notice of intent to participate, Commerce shall, within 90 days after 
the initiation of the review, issue a final determination revoking the 
order. Because no domestic interested party filed a notice of intent to 
participate in this sunset review, Commerce finds that no domestic 
interested party is participating in this sunset review. Therefore, 
consistent with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i) and section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 
Act, we are revoking this antidumping duty order.
    Effective Date of Revocation: The effective date of revocation is 
June 12,

[[Page 28203]]

2018, the fifth anniversary of the date of publication in the Federal 
Register of the most recent notice of continuation of this antidumping 
duty order. Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.222(i)(2)(i), Commerce intends to issue instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection, 15 days after the publication of this 
notice, to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise 
subject to this order entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after 
June 12, 2018. Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective 
date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of 
liquidation and antidumping duty deposit requirements. Commerce will 
complete any pending administrative reviews of this order and will 
conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to 
the effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed 
requests of review.
    This five-year (sunset) review and notice are published in 
accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 12, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
