SUMMARY:
On May 1, 2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on solid agricultural grade ammonium nitrate from Ukraine. Because the domestic interested parties did not participate in this sunset review, Commerce is revoking this antidumping duty order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On September 12, 2001, Commerce issued an antidumping duty order on solid grade ammonium nitrate from Ukraine.1 On June 12, 2013, Commerce published its most recent continuation of the order.2 On May 1, 2018, Commerce initiated a sunset review of this order.3

We did not receive a notice of intent to participate from domestic interested parties in this sunset review. As a result, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A), Commerce determined that no domestic interested party intends to participate in the sunset review, and on May 18, 2018, notified the International Trade Commission, in writing, that we intended to issue a final determination revoking this antidumping duty order.4

Scope of the Order: The products covered by this antidumping duty order are solid, fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate ("ammonium nitrate" or "subject merchandise") 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 the 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 subject merchandise is currently classifiable under subheading 3102.30.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States ("HTSUS"). Although HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive.
Determination To Revoke: Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic interested party files a notice of intent to participate, Commerce shall, within 90 days after the initiation of the review, issue a final determination revoking the order. Because no domestic interested party filed a notice of intent to participate in this sunset review, Commerce finds that no domestic interested party is participating in this sunset review. Therefore, consistent with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i) and section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act, we are revoking this antidumping duty order.
[top] Effective Date of Revocation: The effective date of revocation is June 12,
This five-year (sunset) review and notice are published in accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: June 12, 2018.
