**In the opportunity notice published on October 20, 2000 (65 FR 63057), the country listed for silicomanganese was incorrect. The correct

country for that product is listed above.

In accordance with section 351.213(b)

of the regulations, an interested party as

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may

request in writing that the Secretary

conduct an administrative review. For

both antidumping and countervailing

duty reviews, the interested party must

specify the individual producers or

exporters covered by an antidumping

finding or an antidumping or

countervailing duty order or suspension

agreement for which it is requesting a

review, and the requesting party must

state why it desires the Secretary to

review those particular producers or

exporters. If the interested party intends

for the Secretary to review sales of

merchandise by an exporter (or a

66966 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 8, 2000 / Notices

producer if that producer also exports

merchandise from other suppliers)

which were produced in more than one

country of origin and each country of

origin is subject to a separate order, then

the interested party must state

specifically, on an order-by-order basis,

which exporter(s) the request is

intended to cover.

Six copies of the request should be

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S.

Department of Commerce, 14th Street &

Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20230. The

Department also asks parties to serve a

copy of their requests to the Office of

Antidumping/Countervailing

Enforcement, Attention: Sheila Forbes,

in room 3065 of the main Commerce

Building. Further, in accordance with

section 351.303(f)(l)(i) of the

regulations, a copy of each request must

be served on every party on the

Department’s service list.

The Department will publish in the

Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation

of Administrative Review of

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty

Order, Finding, or Suspended

Investigation’’ for requests received by

the last day of November 2000. If the

Department does not receive, by the last

day of November 2000, a request for

review of entries covered by an order,

finding, or suspended investigation

listed in this notice and for the period

identified above, the Department will

instruct the Customs Service to assess

antidumping or countervailing duties on

those entries at a rate equal to the cash

deposit of (or bond for) estimated

antidumping or countervailing duties

required on those entries at the time of

entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,

for consumption and to continue to

collect the cash deposit previously

ordered.

This notice is not required by statute

but is published as a service to the

international trading community.

November 2, 2000.

Holly A. Kuga,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II

for Import Administration.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

International Trade Administration

[A–823–810]

Initiation of Antidumping Duty

Investigation: Solid Agricultural Grade

Ammonium Nitrate From Ukraine

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 8, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Melani Miller or Jarrod Goldfeder,

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street and

Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington,

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0116

and (202) 482–0189, respectively.

Initiation of Investigation

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the statute are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the

Act’’) by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department of Commerce’s regulations

are to 19 CFR Part 351 (April 1999).

The Petition

On October 13, 2000, the Department

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)

received a petition filed in proper form

by the Committee for Fair Ammonium

Nitrate Trade (‘‘the petitioner’’), whose

members are domestic producers of

solid agricultural grade ammonium

nitrate. The Department received

supplemental information to the

petition on October 27, 2000.

In accordance with section 732(b) of

the Act, the petitioner alleges that

imports of solid agricultural (or

fertilizer) grade ammonium nitrate from

Ukraine are being, or are likely to be,

sold in the United States at less than fair

value within the meaning of section 731

of the Act, and that such imports are

materially injuring an industry in the

United States.

The Department finds that the

petitioner filed this petition on behalf of

the domestic industry because it is an

interested party as defined in section

771(9)(C) of the Act and it has

demonstrated sufficient industry

support with respect to the antidumping

investigation that it is requesting the

Department initiate (see Determination

of Industry Support for the Petition

section below).

Scope of Investigation

For purposes of this investigation, the

products covered are solid, fertilizer

grade ammonium nitrate 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 this

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 merchandise

subject to this investigation is classified

in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) at

subheading 3102.30.00.00. Although the

HTSUS subheadings are provided for

convenience and for purposes of the

U.S. Customs Service, the written

description of the merchandise under

investigation is dispositive.

This scope is identical to the scope

used in the Department’s investigation

of solid fertilizer grade ammonium

nitrate from the Russian Federation. See

Notice of Final Determination of Sales

at Less Than Fair Value; Solid Fertilizer

Grade Ammonium Nitrate from the

Russian Federation, 65 FR 42669 (July

11, 2000) (‘‘Ammonium Nitrate from

Russia’’). Nevertheless, during our

review of the petition, we discussed the

scope with the petitioner to ensure that

it accurately reflects the product for

which the domestic industry is seeking

relief. Moreover, as discussed in the

preamble to the Department’s

regulations (62 FR 27296, 27323), we are

setting aside a period for parties to raise

issues regarding product coverage. The

Department encourages all parties to

submit such comments within 20 days

of publication of this notice. Comments

should be addressed to Import

Administration’s Central Records Unit

(‘‘CRU’’) at Room 1870, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street and

Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington,

DC 20230. The period of scope

consultations is intended to provide the

Department with ample opportunity to

consider all comments and consult with

parties prior to the issuance of our

preliminary determination.

Period of Investigation

Section 351.204(b) of the

Department’s regulations states that, in

the case of a nonmarket economy

country, in an investigation, the

Department normally will examine

merchandise sold during the two most

recently completed fiscal quarters as of

the month preceding the month in

which the petition was filed. The

regulations further state that the
