5See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Urea Ammonium 

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.
