antidumping duties. The final results of 

this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.3

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Dillinger for which the reviewed 

company did not know that the 

merchandise it sold to the intermediary 

(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or 

exporter) was destined for the United 

States. In such instances, 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.4

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rate for the company 

listed above will be that established in 

the final results of this review, except if 

the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, 

therefore, de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero; (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above, 

the cash deposit will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment; (3) if 

the exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a previous review, or the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but 

the manufacturer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

for the most recent segment for the 

manufacturer of the merchandise; and 

(4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

manufacturers or exporters will 

continue to be 21.04 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.5 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

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 Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping 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), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable 

violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act.

Urea Ammonium Nitrate Solutions 

From the Russian Federation: Initiation 

of Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is initiating a 

changed circumstance review (CCR) to 

examine whether the Russian 

Federation (Russia) remains a market 

economy (ME) country for purposes of 

the antidumping duty (AD) law. 

DATES: Applicable May 13, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 30, 2021, Commerce received 

petitions for the imposition of ADs and 

countervailing duties (CVD) on urea 

ammonium nitrate solutions (UAN) 

imported into the United States from 

Russia and the Republic of Trinidad and 

Tobago. In the petitions, the petitioner 1

stated that information reasonably 

available to it indicated that Russia does 

not operate on market principles, and 

thus, Commerce should initiate an 

investigation into whether, and should 

determine that, Russia is a non-market 

economy (NME) country. After finding 

that the petitioner’s allegation met the 

requirements of section 732 of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on 

July 30, 2021, Commerce initiated an 

investigation into Russia’s status as a 

market economy (ME) country.2

On October 29, 2021, based on the 

information on the record, Commerce 

determined to continue to confer ME 

status on Russia for purposes of AD 

law.3 However, in its determination, 

Commerce noted that,

Nitrate Solutions from the Russian Federation (A– 

821–831): Petitioner’s Case Brief,’’ dated March 15, 

2022, at 3. 

6See Memorandum, ‘‘Reconsideration of Russia’s 

Status as a Market Economy Country,’’ dated 

concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this 

notice. 

when Commerce determined Russia to be a 

market economy country in 2002, {it} 

expected market-oriented reforms to continue 

to progress significantly. Since they have not 

progressed as significantly as expected and in 

some cases have backtracked, Commerce will 

monitor the progress of reforms in the 

Russian economy for the near future for 

purposes of the antidumping duty law.4

In its March 26, 2022 case brief in the 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation 

of UAN from Russia, the petitioner 

argued that the final phase of the LTFV 

investigation of UAN from Russia was 

an appropriate time in the ‘‘near future’’ 

for Commerce to revisit its 

determination regarding Russia’s ME 

status and examine whether its October 

2021 findings regarding that status 

remain valid, including its ‘‘findings 

concerning ruble convertibility, the 

environment for foreign investment, the 

{Government of Russia’s} control over 

Russia’s economy, rule of law, and 

freedom of information.’’ 5 Given 

Commerce’s observations in its October 

29, 2021 determination, the request in 

the petitioner’s case brief, and the 

additional information gathered 

concerning changes to the economic 

conditions in Russia, we have 

determined to revisit Russia’s status as 

an ME country in the context of a CCR. 

Initiation of a Changed Circumstances 

Review 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Act, when Commerce receives 

information concerning, or a request 

from an interested party for a review of, 

a final affirmative determination that 

resulted in an AD or CVD order, which 

shows changed circumstances sufficient 

to warrant a review of such 

determination, Commerce shall conduct 

a review of the determination after 

publishing notice of the review in the 

Federal Register. Section 751(b)(4) of 

the Act provides that in the absence of 

good cause, Commerce may not review 

final determinations regarding whether 

subject merchandise is being, or is likely 

to be, sold in the United States at less 

than its fair value, or whether or not a 

countervailable subsidy is being 

provided with respect to subject 

merchandise, less than 24 months after 

the date of publication of the notice of 

that determination. 

Since making a final determination 

concerning Russia’s status, information 

available to Commerce indicates that 

there may be important changes in the 

economic conditions in Russia related 

to the six statutory factors governing 

NME determinations sufficient for 

Commerce to reexamine the issue of 

Russia’s ME status. For a full 

description of recent changes in Russia 

related to the six statutory factors, see 

the memorandum ‘‘Reconsideration of 

Russia’s Status as a Market Economy 

Country,’’ dated concurrently with this 

Federal Register notice.6 Given the 

developments since Commerce’s 

October 2021 determination, and the 

provision in section 771(18)(C)(ii) of the 

Act that Commerce may determine 

whether a country does not operate on 

market principles at any time, 

Commerce has determined that good 

cause exists within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.216(c) to initiate a CCR to 

determine whether to continue to confer 

ME status on Russia for purposes of the 

AD law. 

Therefore, Commerce is initiating a 

CCR to determine whether to continue 

to confer ME status on Russia for 

purposes of the AD law, pursuant to 

sections 751(b) and 771(18)(C)(ii) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.216(c). 

Opportunity for Public Comment and 

Submission of Factual Information 

As part of this CCR, Commerce is 

providing interested parties with an 

opportunity to submit comments and 

factual information regarding 

developments in the Russian economy 

since October 2021 with respect to the 

following factors enumerated in section 

771(18)(B) of the Act. Commerce must 

consider these factors in making an ME/ 

NME determination: 

(i) The extent to which the currency 

of the foreign country is convertible into 

the currency of other countries; 

(ii) the extent to which wage rates in 

the foreign country are determined by 

free bargaining between labor and 

management; 

(iii) the extent to which joint ventures 

or other investments by firms of other 

foreign countries are permitted in the 

foreign country; 

(iv) the extent of government 

ownership or control of the means of 

production; 

(v) the extent of government control 

over the allocation of resources and over 

the price and output decisions of 

enterprises; and 

(vi) such other factors as the 

administering authority considers 

appropriate. 

Interested parties may submit 

comments and factual information 

regarding Russia’s current status as an 

ME country not later than 21 days after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Rebuttal 

comments, limited to comments on 

issues raised in parties’ affirmative 

comments, may be filed not later than 

10 days after the date for filing 

affirmative comments. Interested parties 

must submit comments and factual 

information at the Federal eRulemaking 

Portal: www.Regulations.gov. The 

identification number is ITA–2022– 

0005. 

Parties may request a hearing in their 

comments. After reviewing all 

comments, and factual information, 

Commerce will determine whether to 

hold a public hearing in this CCR. If 

Commerce determines that a public 

hearing is warranted, it will announce a 

time and forum for the hearing. If 

Commerce holds an in-person hearing, 

the hearing will be held at the main 

Commerce building, 1401 Constitution 

Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, in 

a room, and at a time, to be determined. 

Unless extended, consistent with 19 

CFR 351.216(e), we intend to issue the 

final results of this CCR no later than 

270 days after the date on which this 

review was initiated or within 45 days 

of that date if all parties agree to the 

outcome of the review. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This initiation notice is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(b) and 771(18)(C)(ii) of the Act.
