Constructed Export Price Sales: 

• Generally, a U.S. sale is classified as a 

constructed export price sale when the first 

sale to an unaffiliated person occurs after 

importation. However, if the first sale to the 

unaffiliated person is made by a person in 

the United States affiliated with the foreign 

exporter, constructed export price applies 

even if the sale occurs prior to importation. 

• Please include any sales exported by 

your company directly to the United States. 

• Please include any sales exported by 

your company to a third-country market 

economy reseller where you had knowledge 

that the merchandise was destined to be 

resold to the United States. 

• If you are a producer of subject 

merchandise, please include any sales 

manufactured by your company that were 

subsequently exported by an affiliated 

exporter to the United States. 

• Please do not include any sales of 

merchandise manufactured in Hong Kong in 

your figures. 

Further Manufactured: 

• Further manufacture or assembly costs 

include amounts incurred for direct 

materials, labor and overhead, plus amounts 

for general and administrative expense, 

interest expense, and additional packing 

expense incurred in the country of further 

manufacture, as well as all costs involved in 

moving the product from the U.S. port of 

entry to the further manufacturer.

Solid Urea from Russia: Notice of 

Initiation of Antidumping Duty New–

Shipper Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 6, 2007. 

SUMMARY: On January 25, 2007, the 

Department of Commerce received a 

request to conduct a new–shipper 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on solid urea from Russia. In accordance 

with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 

351.214(d) (2005), we are initiating an 

antidumping duty new–shipper review. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Thomas Schauer or Minoo Hatten at

respectively, Office 5, AD/CVD

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 26, 1987, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) published 

its final determination in the 

investigation of solid urea from the 

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 

(Soviet Union), finding dumping 

margins of 68.26 percent for 

Soyuzpromexport, 53.23 percent for 

Phillip Brothers, and 68.26 as the 

country–wide rate (52 FR 19557). On 

July 14, 1987, following an affirmative 

injury determination by the 

International Trade Commission, the 

Department issued an antidumping duty 

order on solid urea from the Soviet 

Union. 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 AD 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). The rates 

established in the most recently 

completed administrative review for the 

Soviet Union (which, because there 

were no shipments of urea during the 

review period, remained the same as 

those found in the investigation) were 

applied to each new independent state, 

including Russia. On September 3, 

1999, the Department published the 

final results of the first sunset review of 

solid urea from Russia finding 

likelihood of continued or recurring 

dumping at the rates established in the 

original investigation. See Final Results 

of Expedited Sunset Reviews: Solid Urea 

from Armenia, Belarus, Estonia, 

Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Tajikistan, 

Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, 64 FR 

48357 (September 3, 1999). On January 

5, 2006, the Department published the 

final results of the second sunset review 

of solid urea from Russia finding 

likelihood of continued or recurring 

dumping at the rates established in the 

original investigation. See Notice of 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Orders: Solid Urea from the Russian 

Federation and Ukraine, 71 FR 581 

(January 5, 2006). There have been no 

administrative reviews since the 

issuance of the antidumping duty order. 

On January 25, 2007, the Department 

received a timely request for a new–

shipper review of the antidumping duty 

order on solid urea from Russia from 

MCC EuroChem (EuroChem). On 

January 31, 2007, EuroChem submitted 

additional certifications to supplement 

its request for a new–shipper review in 

response to our telephone call of the 

same. See memorandum to file dated 

January 31, 2007. EuroChem certified 

that it is both the producer and exporter 

of the subject merchandise upon which 

the request for a new–shipper review is 

based. 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), 

EuroChem certified that it did not 

export solid urea to the United States 

during the period of investigation (POI). 

In addition, pursuant to section 

751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), EuroChem certified 

that, since the initiation of the 

investigation, it has never been affiliated 

with any Russian exporter or producer 

who exported solid urea to the United 

States during the POI, including those 

not individually examined during the 

investigation. 

In addition to the certifications 

described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iv), EuroChem submitted 

documentation establishing the date on 

which EuroChem first shipped solid 

urea for export to the United States and 

the date on which the solid urea was 

first entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption, the 

volume of its first shipment, and the 

date of its first sale to an unaffiliated 

customer in the United States. 

The Department conducted a query of 

the U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) database to confirm that 

EuroChem’s shipment of subject 

merchandise had entered the United 

States for consumption and had been 

suspended for antidumping duties. The 

Department also corroborated 

EuroChem’s assertion that it made no 

subsequent shipments to the United 

States by reviewing CBP data. 

On February 16, 2007, the Ad Hoc 

Committee of Domestic Nitrogen 

Producers (the petitioner) submitted a 

letter arguing that the respondent was 

not eligible for a new–shipper review 

because the producer of the subject 

merchandise to be reviewed, OJSC 

Nevinnomysskiy Azot (Nevinka), was 

affiliated with the exporter and 

producers during the POI. The 

petitioner also argued that the request 

was incomplete because EuroChem did 

not also file a certification from Nevinka 

certifying that it never shipped subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POI. 

Initiation of Review 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), the 

Department finds that EuroChem’s 

request meets the threshold 

requirements for initiation of a new–

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 43 / Tuesday, March 6, 2007 / Notices 9931 

shipper review for the shipment of solid 

urea from Russia it produced and 

exported. See Memorandum to the File 

from Thomas Schauer, Senior Analyst, 

through Laurie Parkhill, Director, Office 

5: New–Shipper Review Initiation 

Checklist, dated February 26, 2007. 

Also, please refer to this memorandum 

for our response to the arguments the 

petitioner raised in its February 16, 

2007, letter. As we stated in that 

memorandum, we intend to examine 

these arguments in greater detail during 

the course of the review and, if we 

determine that the producer of the 

subject merchandise subject to the 

review was indeed an affiliate of the 

exporter or producers in the original 

investigation, we may rescind the new–

shipper review as provided in section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214. 

The period of review for this new–

shipper review is July 1, 2006, through 

December 31, 2006. See 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(ii)(A). The Department 

intends to issue the preliminary results 

of this review no later than 180 days 

from the date of initiation and final 

results of this review no later than 270 

days from the date of initiation. See 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. 

On August 17, 2006, the Pension 

Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4) was 

signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4 

temporarily suspends the authority of 

the Department to instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to collect a bond 

or other security in lieu of a cash 

deposit in new–shipper reviews. 

Therefore, the posting of a bond under 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act in lieu 

of a cash deposit is not available in this 

case. Importers of subject merchandise 

manufactured and exported by 

EuroChem must continue to pay a cash 

deposit of estimated antidumping duties 

on each entry of subject merchandise at 

the current all–others rate of 68.26 

percent. 

Interested parties requiring access to 

proprietary information in this new–

shipper review should submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective order in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 

351.306. 

This initiation and notice are 

published in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
