Foreign–Trade Zone 38 Greenville–

Spartanburg, SC, Application for 

Subzone Status, Benteler Automotive 

Corporation Plant (Automotive 

Suspension Components), Duncan, 

South Carolina 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the South Carolina State Ports 

Authority, grantee of FTZ 38, requesting 

special–purpose subzone status for the 

automotive suspension components 

manufacturing plant of Benteler 

Automotive Corporation (BAC)(a 

subsidiary of Benteler AG, of Germany) 

located in Duncan, South Carolina. The 

application was submitted pursuant to 

the provisions of the Foreign–Trade 

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–

81u), and the regulations of the Board 

(15 CFR Part 400). It was formally filed 

on October 17, 2005. 

The BAC plant (32 acres/191,000 sq. 

ft.) is located at 1255 Howell Road in 

Duncan (Spartanburg County), South 

Carolina. The facility (130 employees) is 

used to produce front and rear 

suspension subassemblies and modules 

for automobiles and light trucks (up to 

250,000 units annually) for export and 

the domestic market. The manufacturing 

process at the facility involves 

machining, assembly, coating, and 

testing, using domestic and foreign–

origin inputs. Components that are, or 

may be, purchased from abroad 

(representing about 40% of total, by 

value) used in manufacturing include: 

pressure hoses, steering components, 

stabilizer bars, bushings, brackets, ARS 

active stabilizers and motors, active 

steering systems, fasteners, steering 

knuckles, sensors (ABS, wheel speed, 

height), drive shafts, differentials, links, 

shock absorbers, supports, retainers, 

inner tubes, rotors, calipers, shields, 

brake hoses, brake shoes, electronic 

damping controllers, ball joints, electro–

mechanical brake components, springs, 

seals, adjuster screws, stabilizers, and 

motors (duty rate range: free - 4.5%). 

FTZ procedures would exempt BAC 

from Customs duty payments on the 

foreign components used in production 

for export to non–NAFTA countries. On 

domestic shipments transferred in–bond 

to U.S. automobile assembly plants with 

subzone status, no duties would be paid 

on the foreign components used in 

automobile and light truck production 

until the finished vehicles are formally 

entered for consumption, at which time 

the finished automobile duty rate (2.5%) 

would be applied to the foreign–origin 

components. For the individual 

suspension components and 

subassemblies withdrawn directly by 

BAC for Customs entry, the finished 

automotive part rate (2.5%) could be 

applied to the foreign inputs noted 

above. The application indicates that 

subzone status would help improve the 

facility’s international competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff 

has been designated examiner to 

investigate the application and report to 

the Board. 

Public comment on the application is 

invited from interested parties.

Preliminary Results of Five-year 

Sunset Review of Suspended 

Antidumping Duty Investigation on 

Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian 

Federation 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of preliminary results of 

full sunset review: ammonium nitrate 

from the Russian Federation. 

SUMMARY: On April 1, 2005, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) initiated a sunset review 

of the suspended antidumping duty 

investigation on ammonium nitrate from 

the Russian Federation (‘‘Russia’’) 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). 

See Notice of Initiation of Five-year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 16800, (April 

1, 2005) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). On the 

basis of notices of intent to participate 

filed on behalf of domestic interested 

parties and adequate substantive 

comments filed on behalf of domestic 

and respondent interested parties, the 

Department is conducting a full (240- 

day) review. As a result of this review, 

the Department preliminarily finds that 

termination of the suspended 

antidumping duty investigation on 

ammonium nitrate from Russia would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of dumping at the levels indicated in the 

Preliminary Results of Review section of 

this notice. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 24, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sally Gannon or Aishe Allen, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–0162, or 482–0172, 

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Review 

The products covered by the sunset 

review of the suspended antidumping 

duty investigation on ammonium nitrate 

from Russia include 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 customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

within the scope of this sunset review 

is dispositive. 

History of the Suspension Agreement 

On August 12, 1999, the Department 

initiated an antidumping duty 

investigation under section 732 of the 

Act on ammonium nitrate from Russia. 

See Initiation of Antidumping Duty 

Investigation: Solid Fertilizer Grade 

Ammonium Nitrate From the Russian 

Federation, 64 FR 45236 (August 19, 

1999). On January 7, 2000, the 

Department preliminarily determined 

that ammonium nitrate from Russia is 

being, or is likely to be, sold in the 

United States at less than fair value. See 

Notice of Preliminary Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Solid 

Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate 

From the Russian Federation, 65 FR 

1139 (January 7, 2000). 

The Department suspended the 

antidumping duty investigation on 

ammonium nitrate from Russia effective 

May 19, 2000. The basis for this action 

was an agreement between the 

Department and the Ministry of Trade of 

the Russian Federation (‘‘MOT’’) 

accounting for substantially all imports 

of ammonium nitrate from Russia, 

wherein the MOT has agreed to restrict 

exports of ammonium nitrate from all 

Russian producers/exporters to the 

United States and to ensure that such 

exports are sold at or above the agreed 

reference price. See Suspension of 

Antidumping Duty Investigation: Solid 

Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate 

From the Russian Federation, 65 FR 

37759, (June 16, 2000) (‘‘Suspension 

Agreement’’). Thereafter, pursuant to a 

request by the petitioner, the Committee 

for Fair Ammonium Nitrate Trade 

(‘‘COFANT’’), the Department 

completed its investigation and 

published in the Federal Register its 

final determination of sales at less that 

fair value. 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) 

(‘‘Final Determination’’). In the Final 

Determination, the Department 

calculated weighted–average dumping 

margins of 253.98 percent for 

Nevinnomyssky Azot, a respondent 

company in the investigation, and for 

the Russia–wide entity. The Suspension 

Agreement remains in effect for all 

manufacturers, producers, and exporters 

of ammonium nitrate from Russia. 

Background 

On April 1, 2005, the Department 

initiated a sunset review of the 

suspended antidumping duty 

investigation on ammonium nitrate from 

Russia, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Act. See Notice of Initiation of Five-year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 16800 (April 

1, 2005). The Department received 

Notices of Intent to Participate on behalf 

of COFANT and Agrium US Inc 

(‘‘Agrium’’), domestic interested parties 

in this proceeding, within the 

applicable deadline specified in section 

351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s 

Regulations. See Agrium’s April 14, 

2005, and COFANT’s April 18, 2005, 

submissions to the Department. The 

domestic interested parties claimed 

interested–party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act. Id. In addition, the 

domestic interested parties assert that 

they are not related to a foreign 

producer/exporter and are not 

importers, or related to importers, of the 

subject merchandise. Id. 

The Department received complete 

substantive responses from the domestic 

interested parties within the 30-day 

deadline specified in the Department’s 

regulations under section 

351.218(d)(3)(i). See Agrium’s April 29, 

2005, and COFANT’s May 2, 2005, 

substantive responses. Also, on May 2, 

2005, the Department received a partial 

substantive response from respondent 

interested parties: MCC EuroChem 

(‘‘EuroChem’’); Novomoskovskiy Azot 

(‘‘NAK’’); Nevinnomyssky Azot; JSC 

Minudobreniya; JSC Acron; and JSC 

Dorogobuzh (collectively ‘‘Russian 

respondents’’). In their initial response, 

the Russian respondents requested a 

one-week extension to submit a 

complete substantive response. On May
