SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 3, 2021, Commerce 

published its Preliminary 

Determination.1 Subsequently, on 

February 17, 2022, Commerce released 

its Post-Preliminary Analysis.2 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the Preliminary Determination 

and Post-Preliminary Analysis, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.3 The 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is made available 

to the public via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is January 

1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are UAN from Russia. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

No interested party commented on the 

scope of the investigation as it appeared 

in the Preliminary Determination. 

Therefore, no changes were made to the 

scope of the investigation. 

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs that were 

submitted by parties in this 

investigation are discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. For a list of 

the issues raised by interested parties 

and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, see Appendix II 

to this notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, 

Commerce determines that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by 

an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.4 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our final determination, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

In making this final determination, 

Commerce relied, in part, on the facts 

otherwise available on the record 

pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act. 

Additionally, as discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum, because a 

respondent did not act to the best of its 

ability in responding to Commerce’s 

requests for information, we drew 

adverse inferences, where appropriate, 

in selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available, pursuant to section 

776(b) of the Act. For further 

information, see the section ‘‘Use of 

Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences’’ in the Issue and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of on-site verifications to verify the 

information relied upon in making this 

final determination, in accordance with 

section 782(i) of the Act.5

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination and Post-Preliminary 

Analysis 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the comments received from parties, we 

made certain changes to the 

respondents’ preliminary subsidy rate 

calculations. For a discussion of these 

changes, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

In accordance with section 

705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated 

an individual estimated countervailable 

subsidy rate for Acron and the 

EuroChem Companies. Section 

705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states that, for 

companies not individually 

investigated, Commerce will determine 

an ‘‘all-others’’ rate equal to the 

weighted-average countervailable 

subsidy rates established for exporters 

and/or producers individually 

investigated, excluding any zero and de 

minimis countervailable subsidy rates, 

and any rates determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

Commerce has calculated individual 

estimated countervailable subsidy rates 

for Acron and the EuroChem 

Companies 6 that are not zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available. We, therefore, 

calculated the all-others rate using a 

weighted average of the individual 

estimated subsidy rates calculated for 

the examined respondents using each 

company’s publicly-ranged values for 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 121 / Friday, June 24, 2022 / Notices 37837 

7With two respondents under examination, 

Commerce normally calculates: (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for 

the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of 

the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average 

of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents using each company’s 

publicly-ranged U.S. sale quantities for the 

merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate 

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball 

Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, 

Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final 

Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and 

Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 

(September 1, 2010). As complete publicly ranged 

sales data was available, Commerce based the allothers rate on the publicly ranged sales data of the 

mandatory respondents. For a complete analysis of 

the data, see Memorandum, ‘‘Countervailing Duty 

Investigation of Urea Ammonium Nitrate Solutions 

from the Russian Federation: All Others Rate for 

Final Determination All-Others Rate Calculation

hereby adopted by, this notice.

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations and 

analysis performed in this final 

determination within five days of its 

public announcement, or if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of the publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.244(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination and pursuant to sections 

703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, we 

instructed U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation 

of entries of subject merchandise as 

described in the scope of the 

investigation section entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after December 3, 

2021, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. In accordance with 

section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed 

CBP to discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, on or after April 2, 2022, but 

to continue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise between December 3, 

2021, and April 1, 2022. 

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a countervailing duty order, 

reinstate the suspension of liquidation 

under section 706(a) of the Act, and 

require a cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties for entries of 

subject merchandise in the amounts 

indicated above. If the ITC determines 

that material injury, or threat of material 

injury, does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated, and all estimated 

duties deposited or securities posted as 

a result of the suspension of liquidation 

will be refunded or canceled. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC 

of its final affirmative determination 

that countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

UAN from Russia. As Commerce’s final 

determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 705(b) of the 

Act, the ITC will determine, within 45 

days, whether the domestic industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

or threatened with material injury. In 

addition, we are making available to the 

ITC all non-privileged and 

nonproprietary information related to 

this investigation. We will allow the ITC 

access to all privileged and business 

proprietary information in our files, 

provided the ITC confirms that it will 

not disclose such information, either 

publicly or under an administrative 

protective order (APO), without the 

written consent of the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Notification Regarding APO 

In the event that the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the 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 violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 705(d) 

and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(c). 

Dated: June 17, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance.
