AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Revocation of antidumping duty order: solid urea from Armenia.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the International Trade Commission (``the 
Commission'') determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order 
on solid urea from Armenia would not be likely to lead to continuation 
or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time (64 FR 60225 (November 4, 1999)). 
Therefore, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(e)(4), the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is 
publishing notice of the revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
solid urea from Armenia. Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(ii), the effective date of revocation is 
January 1, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 1, 1999, the Department initiated, and the Commission 
instituted, a sunset review (64 FR 9970 and 64 FR 10020, respectively) 
of the antidumping duty order on solid urea from Armenia pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of this review, the Department 
found that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead 
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the Commission of 
the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail were the order revoked 
(see Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review: Solid Urea from Armenia, 
Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, 
and Uzbekistan, 64 FR 48357 (September 3, 1999)).
    On November 4, 1999, the Commission determined, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
solid urea from Armenia would not be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time (see Solid Urea From Armenia, 
Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, 
Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, 64 FR 60225 (November 4, 1999), and USITC Pub. 
3248, Inv. Nos. 731-TA-339 and 340-A-1 (Review) (October 1999)).

Scope

    The merchandise subject to this antidumping duty order is solid 
urea. This merchandise was previously subject to an antidumping duty 
order on solid urea from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 
(``U.S.S.R''). However, with the dissolution of the U.S.S.R., the order 
was subsequently transferred to all 15 republics (57 FR 28828, June 29, 
1992). This merchandise is currently classifiable under the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule (``HTS'') of the United States, item number 3201.10.00. 
The HTS item number is provided for convenience and customs purposes 
only. The written description remains dispositive.

Determination

    As a result of this determination by the Commission that revocation 
of this antidumping duty order would not be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States, the Department, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the 
Act, is revoking the antidumping duty order on solid urea from Armenia. 
Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.222(i)(2)(ii), the effective date of revocation is January 1, 2000. 
The Department will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to discontinue 
suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits on entries of 
the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse on or after 
January 1, 2000 (the effective date). The Department will complete any 
pending administrative reviews of this order and will conduct 
administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the 
effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed 
requests for review.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
